Ahh.. Pakistan. I would like to hypothesise that is because it values tradition and culture over religion. Second and third generation Pakistani’s outside of Pakistan are realising that their main identity is Islam, with being British, American or Pakistani secondary. So we are seeing a re-emergence of Islamic traditions.

I would add it is because people haven’t seen the bad effects of political islam in UK / US, as it is just a religion there like it should have been in Pakistan as well. Namaz is just one thing, but I think that at least in UK, it is generally not going in the right direction with the extremism that is happening.
