And heaven knows, if hatred and extremism is being spread, it's not by any of the Pakistani students.ISLAMABAD,PAKISTAN - All foreign students studying at Islamic schools in Pakistan will be ordered to leave the country, President Pervez Musharraf said Friday.
About 1,400 foreign students are enrolled in madrassas, or Islamic seminaries, some of which have been linked to militant groups.
The foreign students "have to be removed from the country," Musharraf said at a news conference Friday. "Even those having dual nationality. No one in the madrassas will be allowed to spread extremism and hatred in the society."
I guess "nobodys" will now be allowed to spread extremism and hatred as long as they aren't enrolled in a madrassa.Musharraf stressed Friday that he is very serious about the current crackdown, and told reporters he personally is supervising the operation.
"I have directed the police and law enforcement agencies not to arrest 'nobodys,' but only the leaders of banned militant organizations," Musharraf said. "The operation will continue."
Nearly 600 people were detained in the last week's crackdown against banned militant groups. But none of those detained are leaders of several known militant groups, some of whom emerged from previous crackdowns to make speeches, raise funds and publish magazines that openly advertised for recruits to attend training camps for jihad.
Afghanistan's government says numerous Taliban officials continue to live and organize in Pakistan, an assertion that Musharraf's government denies.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
