Zack of Procrastination backs up my assertion about wahhabism and discontented youth and adds some of his own thoughts. He calls them “born-agains”, which made me chuckle. I spent my junior year in high school carpooling with a born-again kid big on christian rock. OK, I’m not mocking the faith. Or the sincerity. I’m mocking the music. Oh is that bad music. Michael W. Smith, anyone? Anyway. Zack’s from Pakistan and he promises to give some more thoughts on the emergence of extremism in Pakistan in later posts. I plan to check back.

Assalam o Alaikum & hi Bin Gregory,
Thanks for the mention.

bin Gregory-
As a born-again Christian I take no offense at your assessment of what passes for rock-pop in our sub-division of American culture. Heck, I agree with you; most of it, Michael W. Smith included, is awful and cheesy.
