  musharraf criticises the clown for being weak on terror

“We have adopted a five-point strategy. You need to adopt a similar strategy to curb this kind of tendency in youngsters, who tend to become terrorists, because merely getting hold of them and punishing them legally does not solve the problem or get to the root of the problem," he said.

“He listed the five elements of Pakistan's counter-terrorist strategy: curbing the propagation of extremism in mosques; restricting the publication of extremist literature; banning extremist organisations; stopping the teaching of militant Islam in schools; and bringing madrasas (religious schools) into the mainstream.”

“ [...] Musharraf rejected any idea that the flow meant Pakistan was at the heart of Britain's terrorist problem. "All the people involved in the incident [the July 7 attacks] were born, educated, bred in the UK." He suggested that the roots of the problem could lie in the alienation of Pakistani youth in Britain.”
