When Prophet Muhammad encouraged his people to seek knowledge if necessary to go to China, I am sure there was no madrassa there to produce more mullahs. Muhammad Ramzan who is very famous in this forum for his do or die Islam pasand attitude clearly forgot that the prophet himself was in favour of a secular education system. His genius realized that education must be all encompassing not only hadith and Koran. If we like freedom of expression and total enlightenment our education system must be free from religious dogmatism. It should be made clear that dogmas are based on fables and pure knowledge is based on questions. The present plight of the Muslims is only because of their resistance towards embracing the realities of our times, they love their past and afraid of the future. The aim of education is to push the student towards the future not to create hallucination for the past. The importance of Stephen Hawking is more pressing that what imam Bokhari said. What Islami Chatra Shibir did before and is doing now is to create a lethal brew of religion and politics.
