| #2 It's all those Saudi-funded madrassahs in Pakistan, Frank G, creating thousands of Koran-memorizers and imams a year, almost all sent directly from the graduation ceremony to wherever the Taliban front happens to be at the moment. Nothing to complain about, either -- they were fed and housed after a fashion for free-ish during the years of their schooling, and there aren't any other jobs to be had for their skill set. |
