I think the author is being too much emotional here. Getting information of Muslim holy figures is not necessarily forced preaching of Islam to non-Muslims. I’m sure the writer must not have gone into the contents of these lessons and started crying by just reading the title of lesson. These lessons at most tells virtue of righteous people (friendship, sacrifice, etc). As far as the lessons like ‘Masjid ki tazeem’ is concerned, every religion got similar lessons for their worship places and these kind of stuff may promote harmony by better understanding of others ideology and sensitivities.

I meant why more than 90% Muslim students be denied the right to read and know about their holy figures at school (when non-Muslims are not forced to attend Islamiyat classes). Education is a way how you are introduced to your role models. I think there should be no issue if Muslim students are taught about their role models in a way that its not imposed on others (non-Muslim) to religiously follow those personalities.

I didn’t say you imply so, but I found author somewhat crying like a baby for just inclusion of a Hamd and Naat and 2 lessons on Islamic personalities (and that also dealing with universal virtues like friendship, abiding by promises and sacrifice). These inclusions don’t make non-Muslim students to memorize verses from Quran or ahadees dealing with say five pillars of Islam.

Dude there was a time when you came across as sane. It seems that you have been afflicted with the all too common disease of the religious i.e. over-zealotry. Did you even read the article?

You are “sure” that the author hasn’t even read the stories. What makes you so sure? Were you there? How about you not do bad-zanni being the good muslim that u are.

The author wrote his piece in a calm, logical tone giving references from the constitution and the books that he has reviewed. The only one throwing a tantrum is you. He says that first graders are required to memorize the kalima as well as other things that only a muslim should be interested in which is against the constitution.

As for the poor majority being denied the opportunity to learn about their religion, how about we utilize the islamiat class or the 20 million mosques that we have. There is ample opportunity to learn about Islam if anyone was interested. But it appears that pakistanis are more interested in showing off their piety than actually following Islam.
