Flash forward to the American Taliban
From a TIME.com article on fundamentalism of Pakistani college students come this excerpt:"Pakistan is an Islamic country, and our institutions must reflect that," says Umair Idrees, a master's degree student and secretary-general of Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba (I.J.T.), the biggest student group on campus. "The formation of these departments (i.e. musicology and performing arts) is an attack on Islam and a betrayal of Pakistan. They should not be part of the university curriculum."
If the following came out in a press release from Focus on the Family, would it be a surprise?"America is an Christian country, and our institutions must reflect that," says Jason Lowell, a master's degree student and secretary-general of College Republicans, the biggest student group on campus. "The formation of these departments (i.e. musicology and performing arts) is an attack on Christianity and a betrayal of the United States. They should not be part of the university curriculum."
