299 madrassas involved in terrorism, sectarian activities in Punjab

[VCheng]

The questions I pose are very relevant.

We have another Cyril Almeida here!!

To keep things in perspective, Punjab has 53,000 schools (on paper), and nearly 13,000 madrassahs. Of course what they teach carries influence within society.

Cyril is a good analyst, a bit hyper critical but would you expect anything else from a Cambridge educated senior staff member at Dawn?

The burden of declaring the basis lies upon those making the classification.

Burden of proof is with the state but there is also guilt by association

Learn ethics of a proper discussion where understanding another's point of view is critical irrespective of agreeing or disagreeing. I'm open to change my opinion but a productive discussion with a bigot is near impossible.

Burdon of proof is with the state but there is also guilt by association

A valid point. The questions that I have posed above need to be asked to determine what needs to be done in reality to fight this scourge of radicalism, and the role these madrassahs play in it, right down to the lack of proper educational facilities that should be provided by government.

It is the hyper critical part I was referring to. Resemblance is uncanny.

Sometimes you have to appreciate that the other persons views may be unpalatable and in such a situation learn to be the bigger person and move on in life.

And I had answered that question earlier. Standardise the education in those madrassahs and then turn them in to state run or private schools. But you blatantly ignored that and continued with doom mantra.

remaining madrasas cheering them and supporting them ?

Agreed.

BTW, what are his credentials anyways that he claims to have 'deep knowledge'? I once studied with Indian defence attache's son who claimed to be a SU-27 Indian fighter pilot (a 14yrs old kid), is that the similar kind of 'deep knowledge' we are talking of?

Good taliban 2.0?

Agreed.

Hahah, well I don't know some people on the Internet can pretend to know a lot of things, but some are genuine or have great sources of intel.

This distinction may no longer exist, Sir. The evidence is mounting up rapidly, and must not be ignored any longer.

I'd hope so, pigheaded pundits have killed our country! Bas be karo baba, no point beating a dead horse. The only good Taliban is a dead one! The new generation of Taliban is rotten to the core, these are not the same entity as the 80's often romanticised by veteran officers of the army. This is a heavily adulterated death cult.

Anyone who claims to have 'deep knowledge' in my books has anything but that. Questions upon questions and not even considering others' opinions in the discussion is nothing but a 'bigot with deep knowledge'.
