“Pakistan”. There are plenty of normal, non-psycho people in Pakistan.
Obviously the ruling class is somewhat messed up. On the other hand this is true of many places.

The price of awesome is but a trifle to a man of means. Let it be so.
The median person isn’t so “non-psycho”.
I know one Pakistani who quit Islam and applied for assylum status in Canada (and got it) after reacting badly to seeing his family celebrate and support the 9/11 attack. And his family isn’t even from the Sunni majority, they’re Ahmadis who are considered apostates and in danger for their lives from the majority.
You might take a look at the mass rallies in favor of the guy who killed a christian convert before telling us that Pakistanis are mostly non-psycho. There were lawyers rallying in favor of him.
