Good point. You should bring this point directly to the attention of Musharraf himself!!! From my own observation 40 years ago in a number of Moslem countries, although the Moslems have implicit faith in their Allah, they don't seem to realize that their Allah will only help those who help themselves. Almost everyone of them seems to think their Allah will provide all their needs sooner or later. If they don't get what they want, they simply say it is because of the will of Allah...... Hhhmm, rather fatalistic! Simply because the Taliban had been teaching hatred in their madrassahs (religious schools), it does not necessarily mean that all Moslem religious schools teach hatred. I must admit however their potential to teach/foment hatred towards non-Moslems is great, given the unshakable faith they have in their mullahs and the Kor'an. If you have lived in a Moslem country, you would have noticed the religious schools do provide a basic education/literacy to a fair number of Moslems. Never jump to conclusions. Remember: a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!
