#1 My question is how much and, what kind of religious instruction goes on in the "private" schools that are not "madrassas"? Where do the materials used to educate thses children come from? Is it Saudi provided or sponsored?

Who are the studies backers and can we trust the study?

#2 This was first reported about 3 weeks ago, and posted here on RB... the same study (though it was identified then as being associated with the World Bank in some fashion - this time they're invoking Harvard), the same the 7-11 clerk authors, just a little slicker summary of the data to show how benign PakiWakiLand is.

That "200,000 children were enrolled fulltime in madrassas" and there "is weak evidence to support the hypothesis that poorer and less-educated families are more likely to send a child to a madrassa, and somewhat stronger findings that poor children in settlements without a school use madrassas more often." doesn't change the fact that there is a jihadi fodder farm system.

That it is bottom-feeding system sucking up the poor, dysfunctional, social chaff doesn't bother the Saudi Wahhabists in the least - Hey, it's not a problem, it's a feature! It's the Islamic Way!

#3 Jihadi farm system is exactly right, .com. And 220,000 is not exactly a small number of boomers either. One madrassa is too many.

#4 well, the enrollment doesn't increase because the large numbers of jihadis that they pump out to be killed in foreign lands is balanced by the influx of new ready-to-be-brainwashed robots
