Reader comment on item: On New York's "Khalil Gibran International Academy"
Submitted by Steven L (United States), Mar 16, 2007 at 17:00
The creation of such a school should and must be base on STRICT and verifiable reciprocity from the country sponsoring this school.
The same strict and verifiable reciprocity should be imposed for the creation of any mosque or any Muslim Arab school of any type or kind.
