“Dehumanization “
Dehumanization involves redefining the targets of prejudice and violence by making them seem less human (that is, less civilized or less sentient) than other people. The classic strategy for this is to use terms like “animals”. Referring to people as “illegals” is also dehumanizing. You’ll see dehumanization at work in most large-scale atrocities or genocides committed by governments, armies, or terrorists. The main purpose is to get people to accept or even engage in behaviors that they know are wrong.
For more than a decade, FATA (The Federally Administered Tribal Area) had faced dehumanization. Majority of the population at FATA embody Pashtuns. Pakistan Army had conducted Zarb e Azb operation in North Waziristan. The operation had displaced about two million people and it destroys many schools, hospitals and homes. In the twenty-fifth amendment, FATA had become a part of Khyber Pakhtun Khawa. In FATA 99 % of the people are the Pashtu speaking.

Religion is a way that makes our lives easier and it prevents us from becoming a shield for extremist organizations.
