Agreed madrassas were once schools which taught everything from Islamic studies to mathematics to science and played a significant role I triggering the Islamic golden age where science progressed extensively however the reason for that is bcz
1. Madrassas were in huge number which meant that they helped increase literacy and knowledge.
2. That due to having various scientific subjects along with Islamic studies, they increased the research culture of the area. Every student that attended or left was touched by science and in that age it meant a lot. .
In the modern age madrassas completely fell down and focused entirely on religious studies becoming no better than Sunday school. This poses a great problem bcz madrassas can be found at every corner of Pakistan. We don't have nearly as many schools and although they have played a significant role in literacy however they have failed at every other thing and in this modern world it is simply not good enough.
Kaaptan. I won't say shut them down bcz they can be the key that triggers our golden age due to their huge numbers and reach even in remote areas.
If we revisit them. Change their curriculum. Add scientific subjects. Reasoning and creativity rather than robots that only follow orders, we can change the dynamics of the country. Bring them under state fold. Provide full teachers and basically turn them into govt schools ( competent ones) and voila. You have now placed an institution of knowledge at every corner of Pakistan which will advance research culture which is declining in pakistan.
I don't have to tell you what happens when the research culture dies. What hell awaits that nation when that happens.
The above is a struggle but is a thousand times less struggle than comprehensive plans of creating new schools at every corner and then competing with madrassas and parents who send their kids over there. This will also end or greatly diminish the mullah power hold over the nation and would bring the government control and writ over the populace to whole new level.
The likes of khadim rizvi can't win an election but they can bring 5k clowns to the capital and create violence all over Pakistan bcz of these institutions. Only a few and you have your drones in a city and these madrassas are exactly that. Drone making facilities who don't know anything about Islam and when questioned, the kill you under blasphemy.
This is the responsibility of the govt and the govt has absolutely failed in this which is another great accomplishment of N in it's fight against terrorism.
Just like other ball less govts, the N govt has also taken its hands off with the reduction of terrorism not realizing that the military front was a small portion of the war on terror. The real battle was always going to be state vs the drone making machines and quite frankly the state has absolutely failed in it. Absolutely pathetic.
