Global alarm bells are ringing over a provocative report branding Pakistan and Turkey as frontrunners in fostering Islamic extremism. Pakistan’s seven-decade struggle to maturity has yielded failure, entangled in terror patronage. Turkey’s surge in promoting hardline ideologies amplifies worldwide anxieties.
Key revelations point to Pakistan’s tacit endorsement of Bangladesh’s destabilizing events, including the 2024 student movement that bred two years of riots. Bangladesh’s post-2026 election calm belies Pakistan’s overt campaigns to cultivate anti-India narratives in the region.
Long accused of terror exports to Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan sought new battlegrounds against India during Bangladesh’s unrest. Sustained by Gulf allies like Qatar, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia, alongside China’s maneuvers, it serves as a ‘venomous blade’ for shadowy proxy wars targeting India.
The report indicts Pakistan for separatism while it teams with Turkey and Qatar to influence India’s 200 million-plus Muslims. It advises India to mirror Turkey’s tactics by supporting Kurdish students, fostering their cultural and political empowerment against Erdogan’s regime.
Jinnah’s Muslim state dream has soured into Pakistani hatred and militancy. As Turkey powers modern radicalism, nations like India must lead the charge to halt Islamist fervor and safeguard global harmony.
