Just because someone goes to a madrassah makes them poor??? I'm not taking sides but many people go to madrassahs for learning Islamic teachings regardless of their social class. What is wrong with you people trying to criticize everything. How about you stand against those corrupt politicians who have not one but ten private cars???
@Kanwal, @Chief: Feel pity on the way you think. It would have been a big deal had they been from the minority. And seminary students do come from big business families and other educated and well to do families.
Shameless act.
