The American forces when did not achieve the required result in the war against terror in Afghanistan, they got panicked and start taking some wrong decisions. One of them is their policy of making drone attacks to make a targeted attack on the main culprits who are hiding in tribal areas of Pakistan. As for the purpose of making target, the required Taliban who was hiding in the tribal territory, it was successful at the start of their doing pin pointing attacks at the exact location of Taliban hideouts and their compounds. After the initial successful attack against al-Qaida and their allied groups, now the Taliban has changed the strategy of continuously shifting their position and also hiding themselves in the public area and making the civilian public as their protective shield against attack from drones. Though it is the responsibility of the general people public not to allow the Taliban to get mixed up in the residential area, but due to the tribal area customs and having there no such organized setup general public is being suffered due to drone attacks. In these attacks a lot of civilian public is being killed and victimized due to these attacks. By this way there has been a lot of chaos and sense of hatred against the drone attacks. The purpose of a drone is being spoiled as the killing of unnecessary civilian public due to these attacks.

Imran Khan the chairman of Tehreek-e-Insaaf has announced that he will protest in Waziristan against the drone attacks of America which is killing innocent people. These drone attacks are not going to stop like this. We as Pakistanis have to take a stand against America and for this reason we have to support our leaders who can actually help us out. At the moment no other than Imran Khan is considered as a true leader and patriot therefore people have very high hopes for him.

Islam is a growing religion and it is a religion that has become quite popular after the attack on the Twin Towers. People were enraged by what happened on 9/11 and they wanted to know why some Muslims would do such a thing. This is when people started to take interest in Islam to learn what it was all about. There were many people that started off by learning about Jihad and understood that Jihad is not something horrible. People have just made this word horrible by depicting it in a negative sense. Individuals in the West went around saying the word "Jihad", but had no clue about what it actually meant. This is when many of them started their own study about Islam. They started reading books, the Qur'an, and so much more so that they could get a better understanding of Islam. One thing led to another and there were many people that wanted to continue with their study.
