READING, UK: Khaled Ahmed is right in writing about and endorsing Sadaf Ahmad’s views on Al Huda. I’ve keenly observed the results of its popularity in posh neighbourhood of Hayatabad in Peshawar. An interesting phenomenon we witness in Pakistan is that not illiteracy but literacy feeding growing extremism by using education as a means of indoctrination and propaganda for political ends.
