Malik | 8 years ago | Reply The radical group is wrong on every count. They are raising an ISIS flag in the middle of the UK streets. And, the UK government is doing nothing, but giving them the unnecessary leverage to pursue with this. As for the Pakistani group, they are also in the wrong, when they associate the genetics of Pakistan with Islam. The game of religions can only produce ISIS, or Taliban type results. Almost all of the evils, we are seeing in Pakistan, have its roots in the culmination of religion with the constitution of the state. Pakistan needs to be secular, to be able to survive over the next decade. The groups like ISIS are extremely dangerous, because they have a very well established mechanism of recruiting from the educated masses. The alqueda crowd looks like the kids from kindergarten in front of the pulling power of the ISIS.
