Schools for Muslims

joannejacobs has a very good article on Schools for Muslims which seems to indicate that there are a lot of Muslim schools that are trying to reduce the emphasis on jihad.

She ends with the statement Madrassas teach students to memorize the Koran and obey their religious superiors. They're not big on teaching "critical thinking" skills.

With the exception of the religious teaching, it sounds like Public Education in the USA. Student are taught what to think (i.e. liberalism), and they are not big on teaching :critical thinking" skills.
