| Parents pull daughters out of Jamia Hafsa |
| 2007-04-03 |
| A group of parents of girl students of Jamia Hafsa from the NWFP have decided to take their daughters out of the madrassa, which has been leading a “Talibanisation” drive here in the capital. Sources told Daily Times on Monday that Gul Waheed, Abdul Sattar, Sher Alam Khan, Wakil Ahmed, Nazar Kakakhel and Akram Khan met Jamia Hafsa principal Maulana Abdul Aziz and told him they were taking their daughters home. The sources said the parents came to the seminary from Peshawar, Nowshera, Sawabi, Charsadda and Mardan. “The parents have told the seminary management that they had sent their daughters to learn Islam, not to disrupt peace,” they said. |

| #2 Upon further review, a visit by the Taliban was probably WHY they pulled their girls out of school; seeing as how the Taliban doesn't approve of educating girls, I would guess that includes madrassa schools. |

| #1 It will be interesting to see if any of these families get visited by the Taliban and instructed in the counter-Islamic nature of this act. It's a clear threat to the authority of the Taliban, and I would not be surprised to see somebody executed for Allan if the girls are not re-enrolled. |
