DIG | 13 years ago | Reply Beautiful! Let us recall who went first to these madaris when America thought of using Muslims of the world against USSR on the pretext of Jihad supporting Afghans. Ofcourse they had to close the chapter opened earlier i.e. give them a bad name and kill them! So they dont gather again this time against America or Christians of the World. Whereas fact is there is no such program on the agenda of Muslims of the World. So there is no need to teach them any idiotics again!!

Saad | 13 years ago | Reply These people have immense potential. They need to be given a chance.

Ghaffoor | 13 years ago | Reply They should consider fixing the current corrupt system of education management and useless curriculum in English medium and Urdu medium schools. Why these schools are producing great personalities like Rehman Malik, Babar Awan, Altaf Hussain, Firdaus Awan, Fawzia Wahab, Nawaz Sharif, and their likes.

"Free Speech" chaudhry | 13 years ago | Reply As a component of English, lessons focused on journalistic writing are crucial in allowing the youth to develop skills in rational debate. May this be introduced as well?
