Since the atrocities of September 11, 2001, the West has begun to pay attention to the problem of Islamic education, including particularly the madrassahs or religious schools in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, Indonesia, and elsewhere that indoctrinate young believers in the radical and violent doctrines of Wahhabism and related pseudo-religious ideologies. In recent travels on behalf of the Center for Islamic Pluralism, I have begun analyzing how non-Muslims and other Westerners may assist moderate Muslims in changing this negative situation

So...there might be some hope concerning madrassah educations? If what this guy says is true, maybe there really ARE moderate Muslims. But where can we find them. Are they here in the U.S.?

I don't trust him. He is a convert to Islam (Sufi). The killer of the children at Beslan was a Sufi (who killed many more besides at the school). See here http://jihadwatch.org/archives/004940.php He blames everything on Wahabbiism. Iran is not Wahabi...

but isn't that sorta like saying Tim McVeigh was a Catholic so watch out for Catholics...? Hey, I don't trust the b**tards either, but I'm REALLY hoping for some hope out there.

We need to make sure we are not hypocrites, demanding that others shut down their madrassahs when we are keeping the University of Wisconsin in business supporting the spread of lies and misinformation in the guise of Islamic Education.
