What the apoplectic guardians of morality often choose to ignore is the fact that EVERYONE does get sex ed one way or the other (as Anon1025 points out so eloquently!) and that it may be better to get it from sober textbooks than porn videos.<br /><br />@Zakintosh: That's hilarious! But shame on you for not realizing the real aim of eju-kay-shun in Pakistan!<br /><br />@Khabardrama: My sources tell me that the "offensive" material in the Islam book pertained to an alleged picture of the Prophet. But you are correct in that it was apparently the Jamaat-e-Islami that began to agitate the issue. Neither of which excuses Geo's half-baked 'report' or its ridiculous editorial stand on a matter of public health and education. It's important to keep in mind that the alleged religiously offensive material was only tangential to the main report.<br /><br />@Anon1152: Thanks for pointing it out.

Hahah ... obviously the purpose of schools is to only tell them what they already know.<br /><br />This is just the beginning ... Evolution is the target next. But the real bit of confusion, eventually, will be Islamiaat.<br /><br />'Peace Be Upon Him' after each instance of the Prophet's name was just a starter and has gotten abbreviated to PBUH. Or SAW (by those who prefer the Arabic Saalalaaho-Alaehe-Wasallam). Soon its absence in someone's article/book will be made grounds for a Blasphemy Case.<br /><br />Allah's names, too, are increasingly followed by Subhaanahoo Wa Ta'ala, now SWT.<br /><br />All other Prophets and Shia Imams (when Shias mention them) have AS for Alaeh-is-Salaam. Some Sunnis will go to war with the Shias over this since they prefer RATA (Razi-Allah-o-Taala-Anho) for them, some Sahaabees, and for 3 of the first 4 Khülafaa. Hazrat Ali gets a special KAV (Karam Allah Vajhü) by the Sunnis, but not by the Shias who hold a different level of esteem for him. <br /><br />It will soon be compulsory for Jinnah and Iqbal to always have RA (Rahmatullah Alaeh) folowing their names. And if we keep going down this slope the nation will have ILVIAR after it's name in history books.Zakintoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16878739501457502905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110720279777344316.post-70697674129935271642009-09-09T03:09:19.980+05:002009-09-09T03:09:19.980+05:00Irresponsible journalism of the worst kind.

Well informed sources tell me that it was instigated by some disgruntled staff and was fanned by some (surprise, surprise) religious group with ulterior motives. Would love to get to the bottom of the whole sordid saga. <br /><br />Meanwhile, the damage to the school's reputation, which had hitherto been very high, has been enormous. I just noticed that there is an ad in The News today (Wednesday) that tries to give readers a positive gloss on the school's achievements since it was set up for the benefit of relatively low income middle class families by industrialist Ahmed Dawood. Sad.<br /><br />The saga, meanwhile, didnt end there. The book on Islam shown by Geo was the centre of another related storm that hit the school. The book was deemed to be blasphemous because it did not have the term PBUH after the prophet's name was mentioned!<br /><br />The school, meanwhile, had to shut down for several days after these revelations hit the headlines. <br /><br />I tell you, sometimes I think this country deserves the Talibankhabardramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00304030819345813333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110720279777344316.post-52631717168141762832009-09-09T02:00:33.764+05:002009-09-09T02:00:33.764+05:00I think besides Geo's misdeeds in this case, y...I think besides Geo's misdeeds in this case, you can open up another interesting can of worms with a post on whether sex ed should be taught in Pakistan...Zubair Shahabnoreply@blogger.com
