that's the problem i have with the way they do things here. If you talk to them and try to discuss a religious issue by reasoning they will tell you to come to the mosque and sit for a 40-day chilla instead... what about debate, discussion, current religious issues, answers to questions that arise in young minds about religion etc.
They encourage you do that , it is not an absolute requirement . Only those who have thought through the consequences and made certain arrangements go.
From the outside it might not look good to us but only those who do it know how fulfilling it is for them to go on those excursions. Boxing seems to be a barbaric sport to me but boxers get a kick ( no pun intended) out of getting hurt or hurting others.

I haven't seen that happen. The only instance where I've seen anything like that is if people will try to reason with them about why they make the effort they make and what they get out of it, they'll tell you to try it yourself.
Otherwise, I think they do the right thing. If you ask them about any matters of jurisprudence, they'll tell you to find out from an aalim since they're not qualified to answer it themselves.
Thanks for replys:) I dont know that was he forced to go or did he choose to go by him self. He came back but I just talked with him about 5 mins yesterday, and I asked that how was ur weekend and he just said it was good, that he learned a lot. I didnt had chance to talk to him yet properly, but he seemed really thoughtful and quieter than usually...or I just Imagined that:D
He has never been like really religious, so I thought that was weird him to going there, so maybe his parents wanted him to go.
I will talk tomorrow with him again and I will ask some more, I just hope that I didn't lose my old friend completely cause he i really good friend of mine.
Personally I dont know what to think about jammaat, and really i dont know about jammat that much and people have so different opinions..so right now im just little confused.
