We are living through confusing times. Young people are idealistic and they have a tendency to look for purity, they might even want to rebel against whatthey see as old hypocritical attitudes of the older generations...this needs to be channeled into constructive ways by the community elders...but because we live in unformed temporary communities in urban centres it is not possible. Being put off Islam because of the way the older generations practice it is a sign of immaturity and too much idealism....the real world is not perfect nor does it have to live up yo some perfect template...people are complex their life experiences are obviously different form the young so they will be different...we just need to gain a deeper understanding and let people be instead of trying to force matters...generally old people are not going to change they are too set in their ways.
