Khyber Pakhtunkhwa under the Specter of Wahhabism
For the past few centuries Pakhtun population had witnessed a number of internal and external challenges i.e., colonialism, tribalism and terrorism. Despite being resilient in the face of growing challenges, they have been subjugated by external forces of Power with ruthlessness. Today Pakhtuns residing on both sides of the Durand line are faced with yet another threat to their existence from religious fundamentalism; the roots of which lie in the infiltration of Wahhabism into the subcontinent in the Nineteenth century. The Specter of Wahhabism has completely altered the outlook of the Pakhtun culture and society transforming it into an Arab colony of the seventh century.
