Pakistan's 'culture of Jihad'

taleban.jpg"One young man told me: "Holy war or jihad is done when you are being murdered, you are being killed... your innocent brothers and your sisters are being killed. Then you go into the field of battle and war against the enemy.

"This is jihad, and nothing more. This is not terrorism. This is to stop terrorism," he said.

Such young men admire the Taleban, and they are angry at its defeat at the hands of America.
