Nigeria - Boko haram

[Afg]

That doesn't make sense. Taliban means student...Nigerian student???

ya doesnt make sense to us. but probably makes sense to the non-Muslims, as they see Taliban as terrorists.

Or, if that is too difficult, how a Muslim education system would differ from the current so called ‘western’ system?

see below. it would be more or less the same thing considering that the fields of study, eg maths, science are originally derived from Muslims who excelled in that particular field anyway.

When you talk about the concept of some sort of academic imposition on Nigeria as a relic of the colonial era, thats an erroneous contention Umm ul Shaheed. I was born and grew up in East Africa, i've been through the system there, and i go back often, only to read news stories of constant reviews of the education system and appeals by undiscerning nationalists to Africanize it because supposedly according to them, and i guess you, the methodology of instruction being used is some sort of instrument which perpetuates colonial era ignorance, practices and beliefs.

you have complete misunderstood me. to reiterate.

that is beyond the point. what i was trying to get at, is why does the education system in some African countries are depended on the European one, well atleast the British education system, as opposed to having their own? why the hypocrisy?

i don't have problem that they do, but i was responding to Thinker's double-standard that the shariah education system shouldn't be taught and yet the education system of some African countries are dependent on an education system other than their own. why criticize the "forceful" implementation of one thing, whist ignoring an essential other.

i don't agree-and i didn't mention- that the only thing that should taught is the Shariah Law, whilst ignoring other fields of study. no i agree, this is important.
