| Clerics resist Perv on madrassas |
| 2004-09-05 |
| Islamic clerics in Pakistan have launched a campaign of resistance against a government crackdown on religious schools. They are furious that President Pervez Musharraf is attempting to staunch the flow of "terrorist recruits" by regulating the schools, known as madrassas. There are up to 20,000 such schools in Pakistan and until now the state has had no control over them. The government is now insisting that they should be registered and teach secular subjects. |

| #5 "No religious school has anything to do with terrorism." It will when we bomb it. |

| #1 We would probably be better off if those fed lessons of hate did not learn English and computer skills. Let them wallow in the 7th century so they are easier to defeat. |
