A young female Christian student in Pakistan has filed a writ petition before the Lahore High Court challenging the policy of medical colleges in the country of awarding 20 additional marks to every "Muslim Hafiz-e-Quran", which means a Muslim who has learnt the Quran by heart.

Don't forget how many Pakistani physicians are employed in our nation's hospitals and clinics! Doesn't give me warm and fuzzies knowing their "education" can be Quranical and not totally medical.
