Good to see ya :-)

I'm a bit behind on my pings so will read the whole article later-though from what I've read it a dilly.

In Pakistan, U.S. funds go discreetly to third parties to train madrassah teachers to add practical subjects (math, science, and health) to their curriculum, as well as civics classes. A "model madrassah" program that may eventually include more than a thousand schools is also now underway.
*

In the Horn of Africa (defined by the Pentagon as Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen), the U.S. military finds out where Islamists plan to start a madrassah, then builds a public school in direct competition with it.
*

In Uganda, the U.S. embassy has signed three grant awards to fund the construction of three elementary-level madrassahs.

Kaplan quotes one American terrorism analyst saying, "We're in the madrassah business."



Jan, I had to step away from this article and think about it for a bit; and to catch my breath.

So, now we are in the 'madrassah business'.

Educatation of the islamic youth with American tax dollars......and who exactly is overseeing what is being taught in these madrassahs on a daily basis?

Billions of dollars going to this taqiyya spewing mass of pure hatred toward us....and yet we only have enough money to send an extra 200 men and women to patrol our border?

The quotes in the article sounded boastful, which I personally found a bit insulting...think of the reaction on the muslim street...don't these State Dept. fops think any Middle Eastern educators read this stuff?

Islam will use our money to spread more hate throughout the world against us.

No, Washington still does not 'get it'.

Thanks for the ping Jan! Good article, and great comments at the end by Pipes.

...individual CIA stations overseas are making some gutsy and innovative moves. Among them: pouring money into neutralizing militant, anti-U.S. preachers and recruiters.

I hope they are "neutralizing" them in the most extreme ways. :o)

But I guess the CIA officers themselves may not involved in "neutralizing" the enemy, but it would be easy enough to pull some strings and arrange some unfortunate event to have these jihadis taken out of circulation.

"If you found out that Mullah Omar is on one street corner doing this, you set up Mullah Bradley on the other street corner to counter it," explains one recently retired official.

Mullah Bradley? :

Bradley Fighting Vehicle

.

My idea of "Mullah Bradley" about to "deliver a sermon" to "counter" jihadis:

Hey, I can wish, can't I... ;oP
