"Oh Allah, defeat the enemies of Muslims and make Islam and the Taliban victorious over the Americans," prays an all-boys class of 12-year-olds before beginning a lesson on the Quran, Islam's holy book. Fired by a conviction that Islam must be defended, older students at the Haqqania school - and thousands like it across Pakistan - are ready recruits for the Taliban in a "jihad," or holy war, against the U.S. "The only thing we talk about these days is whether America will attack," said Syed Samiullah, 24, a student at the school, located in Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province that borders Afghanistan. "I am ready for jihad, and so is every student you talk to at the school," he said. The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that shook the U.S. also reverberate in Pakistan, where the government's decision to provide "full support" for U.S. military action against the Taliban in next-door Afghanistan has placed the government on a collision course with militant Muslim organizations, some of them armed. Some Pakistanis fear that if the U.S. attacks Afghanistan, the militant groups will swing into action. "The biggest danger for Pakistan is from young, disillusioned and angry Pakistanis, many of them poor and jobless, who may be driven to join the radicals in a jihad," said Mirza Aslam Baig, Pakistan's army chief until he retired in 1991. Schools like Haqqania have strong links to militant groups that recruit students for guerrilla training. Most are sent to fight Indian forces in Kashmir, the disputed Himalayan region claimed by both countries.
