Counter terrorism: ‘Arabic to be a compulsory subject’ in Pakistan

. . . .
Arab scholars brought the light of civilization from the lost antiquity of older civilizations (Greek/Indian/Chinese) to the comparatively newer societies,west to be particular. The great works by Arab scientists and philosophers,if studied in original form would be an extra ordinary thing as it subdues the fear of wrong or misinterpretations.

Learning a new language was and will always be a marvelous qualification for any educated person and it is definitely not a threat to one's own culture.

we tried Arabic, Farsi, Urdu medium, english medium, Sindhi language compulsory
we forgot we done it, lets try it all over again
when Saudi foreign minster comes lets change Arabic as compulsary
next time when Irani minister comes we will change it to Farsi.
we ullu ke pathey, I dont know why Gadha is called Ghada, he must be smarter than us

Please keep on posting your troll comments. If you don't know about something or it doesn't concerns you why can't you just keep quiet? We are already studying Arabic(reading) but all we need is to move a step ahead and learn to understand its meaning. By the way check the link below, it contains common words found in both Urdu and Arabic and a lot of words are there which are similar.
Ghalib ghazal - urdu.dictionary

Pakistanis themselves don't know what state they are ... I wish they could just be Pakistanis, who are proud to be Pakistanis.

We are proud of being Pakistani don't want to be rude but we are not like you people who are sometimes fighting about skin color, sometimes caste etc.

Since Pakistanis already know the letters and phonics and words, it would be very easy to learn Arabic and Farsi, if started from grade 1.

Just a word of caution...you lost a country to your east because of language.

Has Urdu not served you well??

Urdu is national language, but i speak English too, would you not point to it?

Can someone tell us how learning Arabic is going to stop terrorism and sectarian violence? Is a terrorist going to ask you if you know Arabic before he blows himself up if you don't know it?

Many fools in Pakistan will then have ability to understand Islam truly instead of getting brainwashed by mullas.

Good move but it should be done such a way that students should be able to undertand,speak and communicate effectively in Arabic..As a curious observer of various religions and followers-I have noticed clear difference between muslims who can underatand meaning of quran by themselves and those who can't..Also ability to communicate in arabic will help professionally-arabs are gradually turning from oil rich to industrialised/high tech economies...Arab speaking professionals will certainly be given priority over non speakers..

And here in Delhi India my 12 year old cousin well she is learning English Hindi and French. And after grade 10 the only language taught is English. Neighbours but such different education. If it wasnt compulsory to teach one national language till grade 8 we would be learning only English and French lol

Well, depends on what they are going to teach...if the intend is to wipe out the wrong impression or even the wrong meanings some dari wala mullah gives our youth ...

Both my parents took Arabic and Persian at different levels (school / collage) back then people actually knew when someone was misquoting or taking you for a ride when they said something stupid like Islam orders killing...So if that is the case....then Ahlan Wa Sahlan

However, if the reason is to feed the youth rubbish as in keep them away from "Western" world and all that phobia then there really is a serious nut head out there!

It must be compulsory. Quran is in Arabic. If we could understand Quran, a lot of our dysfunctional state as person and as state will be resolved.

I think Muslim must know Arabic. I have studied Arabic until class 7. Arabic was a subject in 70s and 80s.

But liberals are extremely angry

Why can't Quran be translated into Urdu/Punjabi. All you want is to understand and interpret holy texts. India we have Bible printed in many languages

urdu and arbi and also farsi are western imports to the subcontinent. should be throoooooowwwwn out... what say

Just a minor correction. Unlike other two languages Urdu is not an import from the West. You can add Sanskrit in this list though and throw it out too.

Isn't it Arabic, not Urdu or English, that is the preferred language of the majority of terrorists? I fail to understand, then, why general learning of Arabic somehow promotes "counter-terrorism". Is it to further indoctrinate people in religion and thus instill such stupor that they won't complain when terrorists exploit them but merely accept it, like bad weather?

All US schools have a compulsory second language requirement in their system (French or Spanish).
Many, but not all, and the requirement usually isn't exclusively between French or Spanish. Depends on the State: link
