Misinterpretation of Islam

Here is an interesting article that I found in a Pakistani newspaper (You gotta love Google News). You can find the article here

The article states that students of various educational institutions, misinterpretation of Islam is one of the main causes of terrorism in Pakistan. Some Muslims in Pakistan misunderstand their own religion and believe that it promotes jihad against the West.

The article also says that several external forces contribute to the problem. One scholar said that poverty, illiteracy, poor leadership, lack of development programs, and a poor economy also influence the situation. Another scholar cited internal instability as a cause of terrorism.

This is an interesting article and I would recommend that you all check it out.
