Terrorism and madrassahs
SN Mamoon Dhaka
Will somebody write an article covering the following thought provoking topic-- the prevailing madrassah education system- syllabus, enrolment, mode and method of education, madrassah hostel life etc. in details, what instigates an innocent 'madrassah' boy (innocent when admitted into madrassah) to become a fundamentalist terrorist or a suicide bomber, the mindset of a fundamentalist, of a suicide bomber and the remedial recommendations like change of madrassah curriculum , how to bring them to the mainstream , de-regimentation, alternatives, creating job opportunities for them, unifying and simplifying madrassah education system etc. The root causes will have to found and addressed.Interestingly, the mentor of a suicide bomber does not send his own sons, relatives or himself to such a mission. If 'pseudo-shahadat' was so virtuous why doesn't he volunteer himself for such a mission? It took many years to build up 'Bamiyan' in Afghanistan but a few powerful explosives by the ruthless, cultureless, inhuman, misguided paranoid psychotic 'Talibans' destroyed it in a jiffy. A part of the history and heritage of Afghanistan blew up into the air and got lost into oblivion. Only infinite patience and pragmatic corrective measures against causes of religious terrorism, counter motivation can save the majority- the sane and hard working world, civilisation and humanity, and also the 'poor' souls - the 'would be pseudo-shaheeds'.
