Pakistan To Eject Foreign Students From Madrassas

Lately I'm more worried about the Pakistanis than anyone else, but it's a start.

Sort of. Not sure the lack of a Visa is going to deter these people.

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf says all foreign students at madrassas, or religious schools, some 1,400 pupils, must leave the country. "Any (foreigners) in the madrassas - even dual nationality holders - will leave Pakistan," Gen Musharraf said.

This is the latest in a series of measures the president has announced in a renewed clampdown on extremism.

Madrassas have been in the spotlight after one of the London bombers was reported to have studied at one.

Gen Musharraf told foreign journalists in Islamabad: "They must leave. We will not issue visas to such people.

"We will not allow madrassas to be misused for extremism, hatred being projected in our society."


I don't want to arrest the workers. I want the leaders of the banned groups. I'm not impressed by figures. We want to get all of the bigwigs

No new visas will be issued to foreigners wishing to study in the schools.

An ordinance would be adopted "in the coming days" on the new move, Gen Musharraf said.

He also told journalists that action would be taken against any of the madrassas that did not register with the authorities.

The president had previously announced all schools must register before December.

Pakistani forces have detained hundreds of clerics and suspected militants since President Musharraf announced a new crackdown on 15 July.

Pakistan is a real mess in many many ways, but Musharraf must move carefully against these ignorant fanatics.

They have tried to blow him up at least three times in the past few years and we probably have not heard about the dozens of other plots that have been smashed. Pakisitan is a BACKWARD country. A REALLY BACKWARD COUNTRY. These people are not without influence and powerful friends.

I think the General has been spending a lot of time cleaning out the Intelligence Services there so that he does not have to watch his back 24-7. He cannot move against the Islamists until he can totally rely on the ability to smash them should push really come to shove.

Under the circumstances I think he is doing the best he can , trying to marginalise the loons among the population, and trying to stay alive. Not a job I would want.

We've seen a lot of action from Pakistan recently. If I'm not mistaken, Bush was talking to some leader from India about nukes the other day. Maybe Pakistan took that as a not-so-subtle hint to get its butt in gear and start cleaning out the terrorists.

The most problematic area of Pakistan are effectively beyond government control and the border with Afghanistan very porous. On top of this the ISI, Pakistan primary intelligence agency, includes a lot of people who'd happily install Osama Bin Laden as President of the country. Many in our own government strongly believe Bin Laden is already a comfortable resident of Pakistan.

So how can this be taken as anything other than lip service?

Has it occurred to anyone that the main effect of this move will be to close of the madrassas to foreign scrutiny?

If there's no foreigners in there, then who knows what's going on...the Pakistanis can then claim whatever the hell they like.

I believe in many ways, Pakistan is a bigger threat to western civilization than all other Islamic nations except perhap Saudi Arabia. Both of these countries are actively pursuing programs to spread Islam in this country and elsewhere. Both harbor terrorists and promote them. Both countries are expert in placating both Islamic and western sides. Pakistan is particularly dangerous because they have nuclear bomb capability which they have exported in part to other nations (Iran, possibly North Korea). With friends like Pakistan, who needs other enemies.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
