Read | Pak woman’s role in California shooting sparks ‘jihad brides’ fear Like the Jamaat-e-Islami, Al Huda too has the support of Pakistan’s military establishment and it is unlikely its followers will be questioned about their activities. Hashmi hails from Sargodha in Punjab province, where her parents were members of the Islami Jamiat Tulaba, and she is steeped in the “dars” (studies) of the Jamaat-e-Islami. Hashmi insists she is pursuing a moderate version of Islam but her detractors say Al Huda has had a role in radicalising thousands of women because of its conservative views. Both are PhDs from Scotland’s famous centre of Islamic learning, the University of Glasgow. Karachi-based Al Huda is run by controversial cleric Farhat Hashmi, who founded the organisation with her husband Idrees Zubair in 1994. After she and her husband Syed Rizwan Farook shot and killed 14 people in California, Pakistani investigators named Al Huda for having played a role in Malik’s radicalisation. Malik, 29, enrolled for an 18-month course on the Quran at an Al Huda centre in Punjab province in 2013.

Long before Al Huda Institute shot into the limelight for its links with Tashfeen Malik, one of the shooters in the San Bernardino killings, the conservative school was blamed by some in Pakistan for radicalising thousands of women - including wives of civil and military officials.
