#1 "Change will not come without still resistance, though."

May I suggest, humbly, one day in math, two in rote mezmerizing, one day in literati, two in rote mesmerizing, one in health and stone throwing, two in rote mezmerizing and so forth. This would accomplish much more then what is currently happening, no?

#2 With the Pakistan government approving a US$100 million program to reform about 8,000 religious schools, or madrassas, by introducing subjects taught at normal schools, the spotlight once again falls on the seminaries, and twin accusations that they turn out radical Islamic students and draw funds from charities associated with terrorism.

Firstly, why is U.S. money being used to fund madrassas? The article then goes on to say that the madrassas are being "reformed" by "introducing subjects taught at normal schools". No mention is made of any housecleaning, so what good is reform going to do if the poisons (extremism, Jew-hating, and the imams that teach this shit) that have existed in the madrassas isn't excised?

#3 It may not be US money, since "US$" is a way to express the equivalent amount.

#4 The only way to stop the mad-rassas is to shut off their money, and that, for Pak-land goes back to Saudi, and that is where the money and .com's 40km wide belt are. You will never reform the madrasses. Are the Paks going to fire all the Imams?
