#3 ...the situation in Pakistan is being further aggravated ~~further~~ by a low literacy rate... He said it was the responsibility of the journalists community to spread awareness about the miserable effects of extremism and terrorism in the countrys remote areas. Yeah, that's the ticket. Write lots of stuff about the 'miserable effects of extremism and terrorism' for the illiterate to read. YJCMTSU

#4 Power hungry diests? Multi pagans with a death wish? Angry sharia thumping warlords? Or banger from the stream that has been the brother who cried wolf?

How about Pious Moslems that try to rebuke the Lord?

#6 I think we should do a straw poll of 3rd graders and see what they think. Then when they draw the right conclussion, tell teachers to put in Muslim-sensitivity courses in kindergarden.

#10 Terrorism is taking human lives and hurting the ongoing development process, and the situation in Pakistan is being further aggravated further by a low literacy rate and rampant poverty,

Terrorism, deprivation, illiteracy and poverty, thy name is Islam.

(Oh right, I forgot they can read the Koran, nothing else)

Wrongo, Redneck Jim. Most Korans are in the original "pure" Arabic, which a vast majority of Urdu speaking Pakistanis can neither read nor speak. Much like the "book people" in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, the Koran is more often transmitted through oral tradition.

Make no mistake, it still represents a tremendous diversion of scholastic dedication and resources which the Muslim world suffers for on a daily basis. I can only speculate that such emphasis upon rote memorization may well also breed up a more subservient nature in those forced to undego such automaton-like behavior. It would be quite the perfect template for terrorist programming.

Thank you, 3dc, it would be even more interesting if there was anything worth saving about Islamic doctrine.
