Madrassa foreigners 'must leave'

BBC reports 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.

I guess this is good. It means we only need to worry about the Pakistani extremists that will then come out of Pakistan. Maybe a better solution would be to clamp down on what is taught at the madrassas.

Saudia Arabia, are you doing anything to clamp down on what is taught in your madrassas?

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.
