Religious Schools Court Wealthy Women In Pakistan     Far from
the headlines about its war on extremists, Pakistan is
undergoing a more subtle debate over religion. It's been sparked
by a popular female evangelist. She's created a massive network
of Islamic schools that cater to elite, educated women. The
classes preach tolerance and mercy, though some Pakistanis fear
they're breeding intolerance. NPR's Asma Khalid reports.
Unidentified Group: (Foreign language spoken)  KHALID: Yawar has
five kids and a master's in psychology. But she says she had no
direction in life until she came here.  Ms. HURIA YAWAR
(Student, Al Huda): When we come here, each and every letter of
that holy book is really seeping in our heart and which we
didn't know before. And we regret that at the age of 45, 48, so
it's a shame for us.  (Soundbite of laughter and crowd chatter)
KHALID: Here at the Islamic school, Yawar is joined by other
upper-crust housewives, some with Blackberries in hand, others
with luxury cars parked outside.
