Madrassa CompetitionPosted by Evan on June 5th, 2008
In Karachi, Eighty-year old Shaikhul Hadith Maulana Dr Sher Ali Shah, who once taught Osama bin Laden and Tehreek-e-Taliban Mulla Umar, is scheduled to act as the chief guest of the third annual ‘All Karachi Madrassas Speech Competition’ at Jamia Islamia Clifton on Thursday (today), the Daily News reports.
What kind of speeches will be given? “The topics up for debate are ‘Dawat wa Tableegh Ki Ehmiyat’ (The importance of proselytizing), Jadeed Zerai Iblagh ka Istemal’ (How to use the latest forms of mass communication), ‘Ikhtlaf-e-Rai aur us ka Ehtram’ (Difference of opinion and how to honour it), ‘Qatal-e-Nahq, Asbab, Asraat aur Wabbal’ (Intentional murder, causes, effects and its curse).”
This is a nice sample of those who are currently instructing American children in Pakistan.
