Even your signature is a link to a 'working paper' which means the research is not good enough to be published in a reputable publication.
As I said, I do not know much about the financing of violent madrassas in Pakistan by Saudis. I would just shut up if you guide me to the source of your information. I do not give a $hit about what the mega liar Holbrooke says.
Kaka!
There are two main thrusts of your arguments. One is correct, and other one is incorrect.
- You say Saudi GOVERNMENT cannot be funding these Madrassahs.
Well that's true. People seldom blame Saudi government. Instead they are accusing "private charities".
- You say it is a conspiracy to implicate private Saudi charities with funding violent Jihadis in Pak.
This is not correct.
Let's for a moment ignore the terrorism etc. associated with Madrassahs.
OK?
Let's assume there are different "brands of religious schools" in pak who are getting money from overseas.
If there is a "staunch (but not extremist) Shia Madrassah" in the city X of Pak, and it is getting help from overseas who do you think is most likely the "main source" of their funding?
You think their money is coming from Iranian "charities" ? or Saudi Arabian "charities"?
Same way if there is a catholic school in the city X of Pak. Do you think Saudi charities will provide the "main source of funding" for that school, or some Christian organization based in the West will run the show there?
Similarly if there is a Wahabi brand of Sunni Madrassah in the city X of Pak. Do you think Iranians will be the main source of its funding? or some people from Gulf or Saudi will run the the theme?
Again, no blame game, no accusations, we are just discussing the "mostly likey" "main source" of money for a specific religious school in Pak.
That's all.
Thank you.
