This brief argues that youth radicalization in Pakistan is a result of a majority of youth in the country identifying more with their religion rather than their national identity, in combination with a strong and unchecked Islamic identity-based social movement. The author argues that to counter such radicalization, Pakistan should adopt a holistic approach that, in addition to police actions against militant organizations, also supports political, social and educational alternatives to what he describes as an exclusive Islamic identity.
