Pakistan Army has two kinds of officers: nationalist jihadis and Islamist jihadis," says Arif Jamal, a Pakistani scholar at Harvard University and author of the forthcoming book 'Shadow War: the untold story of Jihad in Kashmir'.
According to him, the nationalist jihadis would like nothing better than to snatch Jammu and Kashmir [Images] from India and see India break up. The Islamist jihadis, on the other hand, hate all infidels. They consider the United States as the bigger enemy and see India as a sideshow which can be taken on after they have vanquished the 'Great Satan'. Arif believes that the Islamists are on the ascendant and will eventually replace the nationalist jihadists. |
