{"product_id":"madrasas-in-south-asia-jamal-malik-9780415442473","title":"Madrasas in South Asia: Teaching Terror?","description":"\u003cp\u003eAfter 9\/11, madrasas have been linked to international terrorism. They are suspected to foster anti-western, traditionalist or even fundamentalist views and to train al-Qaeda fighters. This has led to misconceptions on madrasa-education in general and its role in South Asia in particular. Government policies to modernize and 'pacify' madrasas have been precipitous and mostly inadequate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book discusses the educational system of madrasas in South Asia. It gives a contextual account of different facets of madrasa education from historical, anthropological, theological, political and religious studies perspectives. Some contributions offer recommendations on possible - and necessary - reforms of religious educational institutions. It also explores the roots of militancy and sectarianism in Pakistan, as well as its global context. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOverall, the book tries to correct misperceptions on the role of madrasas, by providing a more balanced discussion, which denies neither the shortcomings of religious educational institutions in South Asia nor their important contributions to mass education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jamal Malik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415442478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415442473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.70d","brand":"Jamal Malik","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086604022015,"sku":"9780415442473","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0c147184-3a6d-4a1b-98f5-a585794fdd28.jpg?v=1769095642","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/madrasas-in-south-asia-jamal-malik-9780415442473","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
