Sorry for going in another direction. This excerpts was in response to a question that was addressed to me earlier.

Abou the article in my opinion author very tactically diverted the attention and let the reader to believe that what he thinks is the major problem for rise of extremism in Pakistan.

You cannot stop any muslim family to send their kids to learn Quran. To some extend their curriculum need to be checked by the government. But this is not the solution. The reason families let their children to stay in the madarsa is because of 2 reason: 1. Unemployment/Low wages: Families cannot afford the expenses of kid. 2. Lack of Schools: There is no alternate but to let their kid stayed there.

Blaming Islam for every wrong thing is not a solution. Specially when this situation is created by their own. It will only create a retaliation atmosphere.

There is a need to spend more money on education, creating more jobs and providing basic necessaries to their citizens. Young unemployed person is very easy target for extremism. You need to divert their attention to constructive side.
