This is doubtless proving so difficult because of the deep roots of the “Al Qaida ideology” in the Qur’an and Sunnah. From the World Tribune, with thanks to Nicolei:
ABU DHABI — Gulf Arab states have agreed to reform Islamic education.
But the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council has not agreed on a uniform curriculum that would discourage Al Qaida ideology.
GCC officials said GCC education ministers discussed plans to reform Islamic education as part of a drive to stop the Islamic insurgency campaign in the region. The officials said the GCC ministers agreed to conduct a review of religious education and introduce changes.
“It’s time to develop the syllabus of Islamic education,” GCC secretary-general Abdul Rahman Al Attiyah said during the GCC meeting in Kuwait on Feb. 9. “This must be carried out by specialists among clerics, scholars and experts. I insist they must be moderates.”
