The short story “My Son is a Fanatic” is about a Pakistani family consisting of a father Parvez, mother, and son Ali. The family emigrated from Pakistan to London.
The father is a cab driver who works at night. The father notices his son Ali is beginning to change, he throws out all his possessions, doesn't talk to his friends, and even breaks up with his girlfriend.
Ali has a harsh attitude towards his father, and Parvez is kinda ashamed that he can no longer control Ali. Parvez always discusses Ali's behavior with his prostitute friend Bettina.
At first, Bettina and Parvez think Ali is doing drugs, after some days and snooping around they can conclude that's not it.
Parvez later finds out, that Ali takes the Islam faith quite seriously. Ali judges his father for not believing in the religion, and it ends in Parvez hitting Ali

Uddrag
"Like him, most of the other drivers were Punjabis," and Punjabi means that you are part of the Indo-Aryan ethnic group. Parvez is very disinterested in Islam culture and Islamic values.
We can very well see that because he is friends with a prostitute, drinks alcohol, and he fully assimilates into the western culture, "You are too implicated m Western civilization" (p.7, l.34-35 )
