Inclusion of Non-MuslimsÂ’ Contributions in School Syllabi Unacceptable
2008-02-08
The Tanzeem-e-Asatiza Pakistan (Pakistan Teachers Organization) has said that it will not accept the inclusion of achievements and contributions of non-Muslims in the syllabi for schools and colleges. The right-leaning Urdu language newspaper Jasarat quoted Tanzeem-e-Asatiza’s President (Sindhi Province) Professor Muhammad Is’haq as saying that textbooks are meant for educational and thought leadership of students, and therefore the syllabi should be re-modelled as per Islamic norms ‘‘to bring out the Islamic ideological persona.’’
This is why the Nobel Laureate (Physics) Abdus Salam is not mentioned in Pakistani textbooks and why "history" starts when Mohammed Bin Qassim invaded the Indian subcontinent
According to the report, Professor IsÂ’haq said that international imperialism has begun taking the world of Islam as hostage, and in Pakistan at its behest the syllabi are being distorted in the name of progressive thought.
