Re: Religious extremism in Pakistan
When a young man or woman shows interest in religion where no one else in the family had ever been interested in it, the parents consider it a good thing. A blessing to the family where at least one or two of the children are interested in Allah and will probably bring more blessings to the family. I don't think they remotely consider the fact that they might be going towards extremism. If they keep track of who they are meeting, what they are doing and ask them where they have been, it wouldn't come to this.
