Re: Masjids that preach terrorism
so back to topic. i have always believed that mosques and madrassas should be stae controlled/monitored and run. for this to happen the govt has to take an avid interest in the religious affairs. which sadly the current or even the past govts have never done. i mean i keep hearing this drama academy started, that music/dance institute opened up, how many govt funded mosque and madrassas have been started? people like mufti taqi usmani that have served the govt as judge would surely be able to help and they are more than willing, but the govt keeps ignoring these people and keeps neglecting religion, end result you have religion hijacked. as i said turn up in your local mosques, do your namaz with jamat there was a reason why jamat was farz, it keeps you engaged and aware of your community.
even private schools that are not funded by govt had to meet some minimum standards. so even madaaris not run by govt and masajid not funded by govt need to meet some standards.
I am in complete support of a govt mandated minimum standard of education and training until someone can be a khatib or imam at a masjid, I am also in complete support of a state mandated curriculum which must be adhered to and taught by teachers with certain specific education and certification requirements. whether the institute is public funded or private.
