Agha khan is a fine institution overall though
Now I know why they are protesting after reading from the above link!!!
They will now follow the same cirriclum as Aga Khan University... this definatly is worth protesting.
If the Aga Khan cirriclum does not teach against Islam and Pakistan or force-teach them their own religion then it can be "temporarily" accepted but they should make sure that they make one of their own soon, otherwise we should all protest against that.
Atleast looks like an arranged mob ......
what is that???
Islami Jamiat Talba and its parent part Jamaat-e-islami were the main recipient of American dollars during the Afgna war. They have lost the high moral ground to criticise anyone on American payroll.

Many including:
The former US National Security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski
and William Casey, the CIA’s director from January 1981 to January 1987.
The source is this book:
Excerpts from the book and Mr. Brzezinski interviews are in this article:
Also, Ahmed Rashid has been writing about Afghanistan and Pakistan and militancy for long (even before 9/11 and Taliban). Also read his book Taliban. Some excepts are here:

Re: Agha Khan Curriculum
ramyssysIX and Laiqkhan..
A simple question to both of you..
Whou gave you the right to judge other people? Who told you what is the mainstreem islam and what is not.. who are you to decide who is right and who isnt.?
and as far as AKDN is concerned, I bet you have no idea of what they have done in pakistan, Central Asia and Africa. It is the second largest foundation in the world after Ford and may be the most professional institution working in pakistan after the army. Just for a minute think where pakistan would be without the work of this institution...
