Indonesia and turkey are not created on Islamic identity. Infact Pakistan remains the only country so created. So the point he makes is technically worth discussing.
The point he and other Indians make has already been debunked partially through pointing out that there are far more Arabs, European Muslims, CAR Muslims etc. leaving their nations to fight with Al Qaeda than there are Pakistanis. So why single out Pakistan? The only connection here is FATA, the war in FATA and Afghanistan and therefore the dynamics arising out of the Afghan Jihad.
And to put another nail in the coffin of the author's argument of blaming the 'Islamic identity' :
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Taliban's presence on either side of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border is largely unwelcome, but increasingly so in Pakistan, where Gallup surveys show they have lost much of the little appeal they had. Four percent of Pakistanis in a November-December 2009 poll, conducted prior to Pakistan's current push to rout the Taliban within its borders, said the Taliban's presence in some areas of the country has a positive influence, down from 15% in June.
Gallup most recently polled Pakistanis in the particularly deadly period after the army's anti-Taliban operations in the South Waziristan tribal area started in October. Retributive militant attacks across Pakistan reportedly have claimed more than 600 Pakistanis' lives since then, which the public's increasingly negative view of the Taliban may reflect.
The Taliban lost support in every region of Pakistan. But nowhere are they more unpopular than in the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), ground zero for a full-scale military offensive against the Taliban last May. In November-December 2009, 1% of NWFP residents said the Taliban have a positive influence, down from 11% in June. The percentage saying the Taliban's influence is positive in Baluchistan, which abuts South Waziristan, dropped from 26% to 5%.
Taliban Increasingly Unpopular in Pakistan

If the identity of Pakistan was the problem, then why is the overwhelming majority opposed to terrorism?
BS and a strong anti-Pakistan bias is what the author and comments of various Indians on this thread stink of.
