The Islamic religious schools in Pakistan (madaris) are not preaching terrorism. They are educating people the message of Islam.Muslims were being victimized in the name of terrorism despite that fact they themselves were a target of violence

ReplyDeleteMadaris should try to spread the true image of islam and reject extresim and terrisom
ReplyDeleteQuran does not preach extremism but Islamic institutes of today do. If you keep some one bounded within four walls and not him or her out in the real world than what they assume about the outside world is how they perceive it later on.
ReplyDeleteThe madras’s still operate in the manner as they operated when they were first established. It is the government’s responsibility to update the Islamic institute’s course outline so that they are up to date with today’s modern institutes.
