A new government study released today (November 9, 2011) reveals Pakistan's educational system encourages radical Islam, according to the Christian Broadcast Network website.
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom said the country's textbooks and teachers are biased against non-Muslims and foster "prejudice and intolerance" of Hindus and Christians.
"Teaching discrimination increases likelihood that violent religious extremism in Pakistan will continue to grow, weakening religious freedom, national and regional stability, and global security," Commission Chairman Leonard Leo said.
The report specifically said that Pakistani teachers view religious minorities -- especially Hindus and Christians -- as "enemies of Islam."
