Education and extremism
2013-12-30
[DAWN] IN reaction to Malala Yousafzai's speech to the Youth Assembly at the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
in July this year, the Pak Taliban advised her to return home and to join any madressah for girls. In return, they offered her 'amnesty'.

Interestingly, Taliban capo Adnan Rashid, who made the offer in a letter to Malala, did not have any objection to her right to education but to the medium of education. Not just the Taliban, a segment of the madressah establishment, too, opposes formal education provided by the public sector, looking on formal education as un-Islamic and believing this system spawns 'secular' generations.
