Byline is one of the reasons I look forward to for a sunday.Keep enertaining us, MJ as only you could.<BR/>M.Salim Khan<BR/>khanmsalim@gmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8323210.post-36508415669477346132008-02-12T14:58:00.000+05:302008-02-12T14:58:00.000+05:30The problem in Muslim Society is always the lack o...The problem in Muslim Society is always the lack of leadership.Now 76 year old,Afganistan's relegion leader Ayatollah Asif Mohseini introduce "a new era of Madrassa Education in Afganistan ,by including Science,Maths to their conventional syllabus, which only permit "Koran"~as a text book. The curriculum consists 50% Islamic Study Material & rest are Computer Science ,Maths etc. Several new madrassa have Science lab,~ which all are build by USAID.<BR/>Therefore when it is either Pakistan or Bangladesh or even for Saudi Arab, due to lack of any main stream more accountable leader in public life, terrorist activity will automatically enhance in public life. The borqa have always a significance in Muslim Society. Now in Pakistan more woman wear borqa compairing to Afganistan's muslim woman. The reason is very simple after Benazir.Bhutto's death; Pakistani are always feeling some in security ; a threat of suicide bomber is always on Pakistan's air where as after US invassion Afganistan is going to more and more liberised. The "threat perception" is the main factor behind Pakistan woman's interest about borqa. Within a week country is going to face probably an ever "democratic" election, ~ US always support Musharraf. Recently Sunday Times published a Benazir.Bhutto's writing ~ which not only shows that "she wrote for her western audience", but also indicate "What was her credibility?". Anger of common pakistani against Musharraf may even reflected as their intention to mantain their convention, which is just opposite to "Western World."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
