Abstract
Pakistan’s current socio-economic and security issues
are mainly the product of the rise of the militant brand of
religious extremism. There are different explanations for
the reasons of such trend in the Pakistani society.
Issues of education, employment, poverty and religious
seminaries etc are often cited as the core reasons
behind this tendency. A very significant factor which has
been ignored in most of the literature and which is
comparatively less researched upon is the origin of the
issue and try to find out the reasons in the areas of
Pakistan where first this menace emerged i-e Federally
Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). The paper is an
attempt to analyze the rising religious militant extremism
in its heartland, FATA.
Key Words: FATA, Pakistan, Al-Qaeda, Taliban, Militants
