Saudi Sponsored Madrasas, Murdering Young Minds

     The focus on Saudi Arabia must extend beyond the high publicity murder that is in the news.
      Saudi sponsored madrasas or schools have spread throughout the world. Children are being indoctrinated into following rigid, intolerant, supremacist versions of Islam. The west claims Saudi as an ally and valuable partner, including in the fight against terrorism, forgetting that Saudi style indoctrination creates the very terrorism that is being fought.
      Moderation in the Islamic world is falling to the wayside, and is being overtaken by fanaticism and hate, whether it is the fanaticism, bigotry and intolerance promoted by Iran, on the Shia side, or the fanaticism, bigotry and intolerance promoted by Saudi and a number of other Islamic nations (not all of which are aligned with Saudi Arabia) on the Sunni side.
       Many children in the Sudan and elsewhere are forced to study nothing but the Quran all day long. Those that resist are beaten and chained in many of these schools. These children are completely at the mercy of their often cruel "teachers".  There is an entire, complex world that exists beyond the Quran that these children and millions of others will never get to know.
        Saudi sponsored madrasas are poisoning young minds with an agenda of hate, bigotry and intolerance in Sudan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Philippines, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, and in many other places, including in the west.
       When children are taught to be narrow minded bigots, the groundwork is set for a future of war and terror. Unless the world wants to endlessly fight fanatics and their senseless jihads, the way many madrasas are brainwashing young minds must no longer be ignored. Saudi Arabia is an extremely wealthy nation. It must moderate and change the vast network of madrasas that it sponsors, or watch the world continue to be soaked in blood. It must ensure that no child anywhere is raised on a diet of hate, bigotry and intolerance. The west is complicit by blindly accepting the brainwashing and destruction of young minds.
