#1 In Waziristan alone, there are at least 1500 schools. Who funds the schools? The Saudis. Check out their old tyme Religion and see if modern critical thought and science is in the curriculum. Memorizing the Koran will really equip these young minds for the challenges of the modern world.

But since the World Bank sez that this threat is exaggerated, then the Madarassas are OK, I guess. Heh heh.

#2 The World Bank? Lol!

An Al Jizz article about a "World Bank related study" - WTF does that mean? Then reading the article we see:

The research, conducted by Jishu Das of the World Bank, Asim Ijaz Khawaja and Tristan Zajonc of Harvard University and Tahir Andrabil of Pomona College, said "madrassahs account for less than 1 percent of all enrolment in the country".

Oh yeah, I'm sold. And that <1% is insignificant -- that's why PakiWakiLand is actually NormalLand - it's everyone else that's overrun with insane factional Islamozoid killers. Good call, Al Jizz.

#3 far be it from me to underestimate the benefit of repeating the lie to bag new recruits - but there comes a point - when for the majority - it has the impact of a finger wagging old hag.

give 'em enough rope - as they say.
you're in a hole? Here's a shovel.

#5 The memorize the Koran in Arabic. They aren't tecahed Arabic before that. Memorizing something you don't understand is ten times harder => an enormous amount of time who should be put to better use is spent learning the damned thing

#6 Yes, of course the madrassah threat is exaggerated. That's why that nice young madrassah valedictorian from Virginia is on trial for plotting to assassinate President Bush. Not to mention all those other nice young madrassah graduates who found such good jobs working for Al Quaeda, Inc. and affiliates.

#7 there's so many employment opportunities for Madrassah graduates in disaffected Islamic immigrant communities with high unemployment, welfare bennies, and low social integration with the kufr's. Somebody has to direct the infection
