I don't want my kids growing up in Pakistan...

You’re right that a dedicated parent can raise a good kid anywhere.I guess our fears are more safety related and opportunity related.

Niksik Baji, Yeah I do see that some times it is assumed that being in an Islamic country, Islamic values will be instilled automatically. This is wrong at the end of parents, that’s my only view. What Pakistanis abroad do to keep Islamic values in place is plausible in fact awesome but that is what the parents do & teach. If you want to put those basics in the kids, you can well do that here in Pakistan as well.. no one will stop you. I am sure you all well know of many families in the west as well who have kids gone astray & wild with their liberty and have crossed all limits.. which is again bad parenting.Simply put, people who are there for security reasons or for their own choices its up to them for being there and for those who are here its up to them as well. Both are right in their own ways. My basic concern is the confusion among people that :1-Every Pakistani is a lover of vulgarity & indecency2-Every Pakistani is a bad Muslim3-Pakistan is the place that does not teach you Islamic concepts, when in fact its the parents who teach.4-People who don’t do anything for the country i.e. not even vote are upfront to criticize. This of course includes Pakistanis in Pakistan & outside it.
