Not only are they all operating, but only about 4,000 out of the 15,000 - 40, 000 have even complied with the government's ordnance to register. (issued in June)

I'm trying to decide if Musharraf's public statement about Pakistan remaining an Islamic State is PR for the Madrassas, or the simple truth.

Pakistan's islamicness is enshrined in the constitution.

"A person shall not be qualified for election as President unless he is a Muslim of not less than forty-five years of age and is qualified to be elected as member of the National Assembly."

The Constitution, Article 41(2)
