Bridge the gulf

With reference to Mainstreaming madrasas, reforms in the madrasa curriculum as proposed by the National Commission for Minority Education is a right step.

With reference to the editorial Mainstreaming madrasas (July 16), reforms in the madrasa curriculum as proposed by the National Commission for Minority Education is a right step. Many seminaries have become factories that churn out imams who can do little more than conduct prayers. They are not equipped to provide guidance to their followers. Reforms will help bridge the gulf between radicalism and modernism.
