While travelling through the remote Kaghan Valley in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, I stopped to see why two young men were standing on the road with signs. I was a little too curious, so they asked if I wanted to convert to Islam. See what happens and how I get out of the situation. What would you do?
This clip is from my travel film "My Journey into a Restricted Region." Watch it now at • Indians Can't Go Here.... .
So what happened?
While this is intimidating for foreign tourists, this young man didn't have bad intentions.
After I stopped, donated, and explored what was happening at the religious school, you can see why he thought I might be interested in joining.
But while this fellow was harmless, later that day, in Naran, a local butcher tried more forcefully to convert me!
My advice is to be cautious in remote areas of Pakistan and avoid being overly curious like me. If someone does try to convert you, it's best to say you don't understand and politely leave. Other travellers have told me they say they're Muslim to avoid this altogether.
What are the children doing inside?
That's a Madrasa (Islamic school), and they're learning the Quran and Arabic. They also teach non-Islamic subjects (such as logic, philosophy, and maths), enabling students to understand the religious curriculum.
Some are full-time students, others are part-time.
Graduates commonly go on to become Imams (religious leaders), scholars, or teachers in madrasas, and some go into business or take jobs.
You can read more about Madrasas on Wikipedia.
