Thats all it is. You can interpret it how you want to and it won't be hard to influence young kids or uneducated people.
But every place has their share of dirt. Pakistan has this and like someone said here we let murders out after 5-10 years of imprisonment, how good does that look?
As for the Governer killed, this could just be a start of it in Pakistan. This is what they potentially need, another military coup or a youth group rising and taking out all the #######s that ruining that country. That basically includes the Mullahs and the Politicians. But in reality it has no hope. From wars to natural disasters to corruption to hate amongst each other they don't know how to fix it.
Anytime you mix state with religion you are asking for trouble.
As for as technology, Pakistan and South Asians the upper class easily sees more technology there than we do here. Or at least see it long before we do here. The lower class isn't far off either, its available but cannot afford it. There are a lot of smart people in South Asia but the structure of nurturing them isn't there so they look to emigrate from there.
Good interview of Imran Khan(Political leader of a party in Pakistan) post assassination
