"We're really blessed in this country to have the Judeo-Christian tradition of wanting to love each other and help each other have better lives and to enjoy life and be good to each other. As opposed to the tradition of some Islamofascist localities where they do the reverse - sending their own children off to be blown up."

    Musharraf’s Ban on Foreign Students in Madrassas: A Bulls-Eye in the Fight Against Islamofascism

    Yesterday I blogged on Pakistani President Musharraf's excellent move to ban foreign students from studying in his country's madrassas, so as to limit his country's production and export of terrorists.

    Tonight we have news of the madrassas' reaction:

    One of Pakistan's largest madrassas, or religious institutions, has turned to foreign diplomats in a bid to overturn a recent ban on foreign students.
    ...Madrassas became a centre of attention after reports that a London bomber had studied in one of them.

    Jamia Binoria has over 100 foreign students, many from Europe and the US.

    "We will do whatever we can to help them complete their education," the school's Mufti Naeem told the BBC.

    "But if the government says its decision is final, there is not much we can do."

    Madrassa leaders say they have also contacted one of Pakistan's top lawyers, Sharifuddin Pirzada, to explore the possibility of challenging the government's expulsion decision in the Supreme Court.

    Reeling

    Mufti Naeem said foreign students were still reeling from the impact of the government's decision.

    "These last few days have been like a living hell for us," he said.

    This is a bulls-eye in the fight against Islamofascism. As I have been saying, the way to destroy terrorism is not merely to arrest and or kill the terrorists and their immediate leaders; it is to impose severe costs on the civilian communities which give birth to them, in every sense of the word -- so as to reduce the production of terrorists to replace them. Actions such as this one by Musharraf impose a substantial  penalty on the Islamofascist community in Pakistan -- uprooting people from their midst. It is an example of the kind of cost that such societies must be made to pay. These civilian populations will fold under pressure. They're not really fighting for anything. It does them no immediate good to produce killers of women and children. Imposing rigorous blow-back on them for producing such killers will, in my opinion, quickly show them that doing so is a failed strategy.

    Ahhh, the price of jihad! Strange how jihadis seem eager to give their lives, but when it comes to their student aid, well...

    Why haven't we seen the West's MSM talking about the "living hell" that the widows, orphans, and other survivors of the London bombings are undergoing? Where are the vivid articles about the victims of the killings of non-Muslims in India by Islamic "warriors" over the past week?

    Indeed, the MSM seems to have undertaken an intense course in Muslim apologetics. An article in the New York Times by Warren Hoge and datelined July 30 summarized a report by the UN on the ignoring of rape reports by the Sudanese government. The article is well done, and makes the points well. Unfortuntely, the overwhelmingly important fact that Sudan is one of the hardest-line Islamic countries in the world is noted only by its absence. Also skipped is the fact that the women whose rapes are ignored are either Christians or native animists living in camps after being dislocated by the Muslim-dominated government military's offenses against their homelands in southern Sudan.

    Anyone who knows the Qur'an knows that this kind of treatment of non-Muslim women is not only allowed under Islamic law but is actually commended by Muhammad himself in Muslim tradition. The fact that "Under Sudanese law, the report said, a pregnant unmarried woman who cannot prove she has been raped can be charged with adultery, a capital crime. To convict a man of adultery, the testimony of four witnesses is required" is true; what is NOT mentioned is that this is not Sudanese law, it is Shari'a, or Islamic law taken directly from the Qur'an. But mentioning that, of course, would be too close to the truth for American Muslims who would, no doubt, protest about the Times' "prejudicial" coverage.

    Unfortunately, the MSM seems to be aiding and abetting Jihad all across the board even in the face of the half-hearted actions of Islamic governments like Pakistan.

    Here is the link to the NYT article: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/30/international/africa/30darfur.html
