Missionary schools needed, says minister (Pakistan)
2005-04-25
Missionaries should come forward to provide education to the people, said Mian Imran Masood, Punjab education minister, at Saint Anthony School's annual prize distribution ceremony on Sunday. As Gomer Pyle said, "Surprise, Surprise, Surprise." But I'm sure the bebearded and beturbanned with put a stop to anything that isn't rote memorization (in Arabic) of the Koran.

Masood said that missionaries should establish schools, colleges and universities. He acknowledged the services of the Catholic Education Board, said the official handout on Sunday. Lawrence J Saldanha, arch bishop, and Group Capitan (r) Cecil Chaudhry, school principal, were also present at the ceremony. Later, the minister gave prizes to students of the school.

#1  Aren't those the same kind of schools that periodically are raided, bombed, students and teachers beaten, kidnapped and shot... because they aren't even Muslim, let alone the right kind of Muslim? It sounds to me like Minister Masood wants the Catholics to pay for building the infrastructure and providing the teaching materials, so that he can take it from them afterward in the classic, Mohammed-approved manner.
