Why farhat hashmi left pakistan

Her attendance is likely a "coincidence," as the school is very well known in Pakistan. It gives women "an outlet" for participating in religion and learning about Islam, she says.

But while the school doesn't encourage violence, its conservative views can make someone more susceptible to extremist ideology, like that of ISIS, both Qazi and Raza say. Qazi spent years researching madrassas, or Islamic religious schools. Qazi suggests conservative schools sometimes teach what she calls a "misinformed" ideology, without question or analysis, but rather taking the imam's word at face value or simply memorizing the Qur'an.

As a result, those people are more vulnerable to fall into extremist ideology, which preaches the fight for justice, the need to save a persecuted group and an individual calling, she says. Those ideals may "fit neatly into someone's mind frame who has already developed a black and white kind of lens from which to see the world. The Mississauga branch of Al Huda has expressed concerns about the radicalization of its former students.

To counter her own disdain, she states that it is in fact they who dislike Sunnis. This is best illustrated at Ashura when each evening over a period of ten days the Shias commemorate the Battle of Karbala, with a wailing Imam whipping the congregation up into a frenzy of tears and chest beating.

It is alleged that instead of missionary work to non-Muslims, the Shia harbor a deep-seated disdain towards Sunni Islam and prefer to devote their attention to winning over other Muslims to their group. Her oppressive views have spread over to branches in the US, UK and Canada as well as schools for little children in those countries. Three of them were by chance intercepted by Turkish authorities and sent back to Canada.

And that could very well turn one into a cold blooded murderer given just the right push; all in hopes to getting in heaven.

Here is one that will chill your spine. In October , the academy-award winning Pakistani filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy managed to spend a day inside the secretive Islamic school.

Writing for the Globe and Mail, Chinoy recorded the words of one Muslim teen, year old Sadaf Mahmood, who defended polygamy, arguing that Western society accords less respect to women, allowing men to have affairs without taking any responsibility. It is better for a man to do things legally by taking a second wife, rather than having an affair. These western-born hijabis and niqabis find a new thrill in the jihad, denied to them by their parents during their prom dates they never attended.

That they have brainwashed young women, born free, to seek self-subjugation breaks my heart. Trained creatures often choose to stay in their cages even when released. I would not propose that Muslim women should be stopped from wearing what they choose as they walk down the street, although, to be sure, there are practical problems with the niqab.
