If you had read the article ( I admit it is lengthy and difficult to read for IK supporters), you will find that it is a fairly objective analysis of IK’s claims and theories. In particular, his repeated assertions that Taliban are fighting a Jihad and all of Pakistan’s problem are because of the war on terror and that as soon as US will leave Afghanistan, all of Pakistan’s problems with militancy and violence will go away. Since the author had already done an excellent analysis on the substance, quoting his article is enough.
This thread is about IK so posting snippets of an article dissecting the basis of IK’s claims for discussion is reasonable, no?
