Let Me all Tell you a Story
When I was about 04 yrs old, I asked my mother how I was born. She said I came out from her tummy. I asked, "But how did I get in the first place?" My mother fumbled at the ques.

My elder cousin told me a fictitious story about how I was actually an orphan & I was discarded in a dustbin after my birth. She narrated that she, was my great saviour as she collected me from this terrible position & handed me over to my mom.
I was shocked at first — but, coming from a trusted elder, story seemed believable.
For many years, in fact, I wholeheartedly believed in this tale & would even narrate story to all my relatives. There was not even a speck of doubt in my mind that story could be untrue.

It was total reality for me; I had no reason to doubt it.
That's how a child's mind is — like a clean slate.
& the first deep scratches on such a clean slate can perhaps last a lifetime.
Now, imagine a child of the same age group being told that he is the 'chosen one' ...

who has to actually die after killing 'infidels'. That is exactly how #jihad starts; that is how the #jihadi mindset takes shape , starting point of such #terrorism- & it has been proven that it begins in #madrassas in #Pakistan , especially in rural areas like #KhyberPakhtun.
The ever-mushrooming #madrassas in #Pakistan are root cause of #jihadism in the country. The #madrassas have actually become an assembly line of producing #terrorists who are frequently brainwashed from early childhood into believing that they are born to kill infidels.
The reports emerge about #Pakistan #jihad factories are undeniable.
Here is one from Brooklyn Institute of Social Research that raised alarm .They also released video, speaking of the grave concerns about #Pak educational system which radicalises young boys to pick #jihad.

There are some madrassas in #Pakistan which don't even put up the pretence of being a religious school & are in fact exclusively dedicated to jihad. most famous, which has produced world's deadliest #terrorists, is reportedly Darul Uloom Haqqania at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province.
The enormity of the problem may be guessed at with the simple statistic that today, there are more than 35 thousand madrassas in #Pakistan — up from about 300 during the 1950s.
There are about 3.5 million students studying in these #madrassas.

I am not saying all #madrassas in #Pakistan are teaching #terror doctrine, but I am sure you get my point.
While On other hand, number of govt primary schools in #Pakistan is a measly 4,300.
That is exactly the problem.

Imagine million childrens being taught doctrine of hate & being fed everyday that they were born to kill infidels. Now, some of them grow up to become suicidebombers or assasins & infiltrate #India with purpose ? Most of #terror camps in #Pakistan operate behind #madrassas.
All the infamous #terrorists today are patrons of a chain of #madrassas — be it #MasoodAzhar of #madrassa in #Bahawalpur, which is regarded as #terror hQs of Jaish-e-Muhammed (JeM), or madrassa #terror camp in #Balakot #Pakistan which was flattened to ground by #IndianAirForce.
Things have come to head that wherever there is a terror camp in #Pakistan, there has to be #madrassa at exact same campus or just a stone's throw distance from it. There is undeniable proof in public domain that students from these madrassas are 'graduating' to #terror camps.
In my opinion, this is where the war against #terror should start.
Since India alone cannot do anything about it, world community should start pressuring #Pakistan to shut its ‘ #terror #madrassas’. Unless Pak is not forced to crack down on explosive growth of #terror madrassas..

There seems to be no solution at sight to end #terror.
We all know that we would achieve nothing by killing #terrorists that's because if one is killed, another swiftly replaces him. These #jihad factories ensure that supply is endless and relentless. Each year, thousands of...

Students graduate as #terrorists & suicide bombers, just as #ZiaUlHaq had envisioned for #Pakistan.
For uninformed, it was President Zia who "initially funded #Deobandi #madrassas with funds from his compulsory zakat collection which began in 1980."

Imagine a little child being told a violent story. This story is told to child every day, day after day, year after year, for decades.
We don't need scientist to prove humans will start believing in story.
After all, I too believed I was in a dustbin before reaching my mother...
