The Bishop of Rochester has called on the Government to ensure that British policy is effective at tackling the syllabus in Pakistan’s madrassas. ‘
Bishop Michael Nazi-Ali said in the House of Lords that the education in the country’s madrassas were “fuelling international education”.
He called for an assurance that “British aid policy for education will be effective this time in changing the syllabus in the madrassas”.
Conger has an article on persecution in Pakistan. http://geoconger.wordpress.com/2009/05/12/anti-christian-violence-erupts-cen-5-07-09-p-6/
I suspect that Adrian Hall has misquoted noble Bishop Nazir-Ali (a native of Pakistan, of course). My hunch is that the brave evangelical bishop spoke rather of the Pakistani madrassas fuelling international terrorism, not interantional education.
