But this..

Shiites riot over school textbooks in Pakistan

Security forces in the northern Pakistani city of Gilgit have evacuated 67 foreign tourists.

There have been violent protests by members of the city's Shiite community in recent days, who object to the wording of religious textbooks in public schools. They say the textbooks teach the religious rituals and beliefs of Pakistan's majority Sunni community.

At least one person has been killed in the disturbances. Gilgit is a popular destination for tourists.

I hate school too. Never had much use for it, quite honestly. Learned most everything I know on my own, and knew enough to jump at least three grades when I first started.

Well, if you were, say, 18 at the time then that's not exactly a big accomplishment is it? Sorry, couldn't resist. [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

And here I was wrong in thinking that Muslim religious textbooks contained too much Shi'ite in them. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Okay, I'll be moving right along.

lol, you know what i just thought of...

if you told a shi'ite that he was full of himself, you'd kinda be insulting him in more ways than one.

if you dont get it yet, take your time...
