As we have pointed out here many, many times. "'Pak madrassas nurseries of destruction,'" from the Times of India, with thanks to Vikrant:
NEW DELHI: Several speakers at the recently-concluded 57th session of the UN Sub-Commission on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights sought a ban on madrassas run by religio-political parties in Pakistan, describing them as "nurseries of death and destruction". The session was held in Geneva.The madrassas and the terrorist infrastructure continues to thrive in Pakistan despite public statements of the ruling military establishment, the speakers pointed out.
They stressed that "unless these were dismantled and sustained international pressure brought upon the state, which sustains and nurtures this evil, the world would continue to suffer the threats of global terrorism".
It's good to see a bit of reality at the UN.
UN? Really? I guess that's because we've already seen PIGs flying.
Jokes aside, though, I highly doubt there is going to be any concrete action. The most UN will do is issue a statement 'urging' the Pakistani authorities to curb extremism in madrassas. Judging from Pakistan's continous double-play, I don't think Mr Musharraf will be greatly enthusiastic.

Anybody looking for a good price for a brand new copy of Mr. Spencer's latest book "THE POLITICALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO ISLAM (and the Crusades)" can find it at booksonline.com. (An even better price than what I paid on Amazon two weeks ago!)
If I'm not mistaken, madrassas now exist all over the world-- although Pakistan admittedly is the most egregious example presently (but Bangladesh, reportedly with 64,000 operating madrassas, may be giving it a run for its money).
It is highly possible that there are Islamic schools throughout the world -some even in western industrialized nations-- that are in fact madrassas dressed up to resemble a school (that fits the western concept of a school). The recent arrests and investigation of an apparent al-Qaeda cell in Lodi, California (where it was believed by authorities to be plotting to build a madrassa) has made this clear.
Besides Pakistan, there is a need to investigate and do something about madrassas proliferation in such heavily Islamicized nations as Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia. All Muslim majority nations are suspect in this regard.
We suspect Pakistan is the tip of the iceberg as far as the nightmare of global proliferation of madrassas goes...
