Dr Pipes between his big reaction on tax funded Madrassas and his silence on privatly funded Madrassas

Thanks "dhimmi no more" for pointing out that issue.

Dr Pipes seems to worry about controling politically and educationally Madrassas funded by tax payers. Other Madrassas are OK!! I do not understand. If the worry is to prevent extremist generations from developing, then tackling only tax funded Madrassas unveils that Dr Pipes`worry is something other than preventing extremism. It becomes clear that Dr Pipes`s worry is money or those who pay money. Therefore, not minding as much other Madrassas is the best proof; at least untill proven otherwise by Dr Pipes. What is the record of Dr Pipes in dealing with privately funded Madrassas! this remains an interesting question to ask.
