It would seem that the extreme Islamic fundamentalists don't want male children educated, either...read the articles about the fundamentalist schools that Islamic boys are being sent to, schools that are thought to be 'breeding grounds for future terrorists', and you read that the only thing the boys are taught are passages from the Koran...probably selective passages, and considering that they are taught these passages in Arabic, which is not their native tongue, it is doubtful that they are taught how to critically read and THINK about the Koran, only to blindly obey the passages they are taught like parrots to repeat, taken out of context.... These boys aren't being taught grammar and writing skills, they aren't taught math, geography, science... So it would seem that an uneducated populace is the crux of the extreme Islamic fundamentalists' power... I wonder what would happen if Pakistan, while allowing these fundamentalist schools to continue within its borders, also passed a law requiring these children to attend classes in reading, writing, math, and physical and social sciences...how many future fanatical terrorists would be turned out then?
