ABSTRACT
The Madaris are constantly labeled as factories of terrorists and suicide bombers. One editorial paper by Jamiatul Uloom-ul-Islamia, Banuri Town, Karachi, finds that before the arrival of the East India Company on the Indian Sub-continent, Madrassah education was the only formal means of educating the Muslim masses. In Afghanistan before 2001, there were zero suicide attacks in the history of this country. The point to focus on is that foreign occupation triggers the secular and religious suicide terrorism, much like smoking triggers lung cancer. Madaris hold a significant position in the Muslim societies, and Pakistan is no different. Their influence is deep rooted in Pakistani society, its history and politics. The trend continues, and the curve didn’t go down significantly in both of the countries—Pakistan and Afghanistan. The media need to reconsider their policies of bias, and the reporting should be on the basis of research.
