Abstract	:	Since 9/11, the United States and its allies have been militarily engaged in a global 'war on terror.' Parallel to the physical war, there is a discursive struggle between the West and Muslim extremists. Both seek to win the hearts and minds of the mainstream Muslims by discursively legitimizing their own actions and de-legitimizing those of the other. Pakistan, a designated frontline ally in the 'war on terror,' is home to a number of militant organizations and religio-political parties that support al-Qaeda and the Taliban in their fight against the NATO forces inside Afghanistan.
