Re: Is violence the answer?
Great idea. I'll add to this just a bit. Not only there should be no "boarding madrassah", there should be no madrassa at all.
Every building known as Madrassah should be given to education department.
Bhai, Madrassa is just a name. If they would be under government and their job is to give education, they would be under education department anyhow. As for name, its OK, no problem, that is traditional name for school. Even school should be called Madrassa, no problem. :)
But then government can decide to give the name religious school or madrasssa. I kept religious education (reading Quran or deeper religious education) out of main stream school, because I am giving choice to people about if they would like their childrren to go for madrassa or not (as some might like to teach their kids religion at home). As for main stream school, they can teach basics of religion to all.
Yeap. That's how they control mosques all over Saudi and even Dubai.
As for Saudia and Dubai or other gulf countries, they even control religion and persecute different sects. I would prefer that all have their choice, as Pakistan belongs to all, not to any one. Thus, all citizens of Pakistan; be they Muslims (of any sect or Maslak) or non-Muslims, should be treated equally in the eyes of state.There should be no discrimination between citizens and all should live in harmony.
