From the Boston Globe: “Radical teachings in Pakistan schools”

In a bustling, prosperous corner of this capital city stands the gated campus of a religious school, or madrassa, where some 10,000 students study the teachings of the Koran every day.

Abdul Rashid Ghazi, assistant headmaster at the school, sat cross-legged on the floor flanked by a Koran and a Kalashnikov, and asked that a reporter not photograph the weapon because it would “give the wrong impression."

Then Ghazi proceeded to praise Osama bin Laden's call to ``jihad," or holy war, against the West. He expressed “great pride" that “at least hundreds" of graduates from his school have answered the call to takeup arms against US forces in Afghanistan. And he openly described himself and his students as “pro-Taliban."

“Give the wrong impression” – that’s just priceless.
