Pakistani youth giving up Islam
Islamabad: A handful of Pakistani Muslim youths are beginning to question the existence of God and in the process giving up Islam to become atheists.
Still a small number, the trend seems to be telling of pressures that the image of militant Islam has had on them.
A Facebook group has been floated for Pakistan's agnostics and atheists by Hazrat NaKhuda, a former Pakistani Muslim.
At last count, the group had over a 100 members.
In a thread started on the discussion board on "How did you become an atheist", Hazrat writes, "I used to be a practicing Muslim. I used to live in Saudi Arabia. I have done two Hajs and countless Umrahs. Used to pray five times a day.
When I turned 17-18, I realized that the only reason I was a Muslim was because my parents were Muslims".

Atheism itself is not of just one kind.The youths of Pakistan have unfortunately developed an anarchical state of mind which manifests itself in a variety of immoral deeds.The latest one being involement of some young Pakistani cricketers in match-fixing which is what I am pointing to.
