  1. Never forget how the Pakistani populace responded to the 9/11 attacks: "A 2004 Pew poll found that 65% of Pakistanis viewed Osama Bin Laden favorably." Governments officials and politicians realized how horrible this looks for the country and their position internationally, so they try to align themselves slightly with Western consensus on terrorism and justice. But only to a limited degree. Many Islamists has big roles in the Pakistani government and the government appeals to radical extremists looking to strengthen blasphemy laws and condemn western leaders for deporting fundamentalist threats.
