Over the last two years extremists have blown up 68 schools, out of which 24 were girls and 44 were boys schools. This seems to point out to the fact that the biggest threat these terrorist consider is the education of the masses, especially the next generation.
These fanatics do not want the children of the community to have an education and realisation of facts. Rather, they would like everyone to follow blindly in their interpretations of our religion, so they could have fertile ground for their recruitment.
The terrorists realise (what we still do not) that by providing education to the masses we will be able to root out one of the main causes of this disease, rather than only treating the symptoms.
