Khoji, you are getting off topic here.
I am not claiming the Saudi Government/Charities are not funding madrassas. I am just looking for some ideas on how and why, if they are. Why could they not be entirely internally financed through local sources? I do not think it takes huge funding to run a madrassa and a lot of people used to donate for the 'Kashmir cause'.
Anyone closely following the religious extremism in Pakistan would know that among all sorts of Madrassahs only two particular sects' madrassahs are the source of extremism or have been one in the recent past.
- A particular sect of Sunni fiqh (involved in 90% or more terror incidents)
- A particular type of Shia fiqh (12vers involved in a relatively smaller number compared to their Sunni counterparts).
Given that all Madrassahs have equal opportunity to raise funds locally in Pak, how come these two types of extremist organizations standout.
The reason is simple. One particular Sunni sect is getting money from their masters in the Gulf. And the other Shia sect is getting money from the so-called religious leaders in Iran.
