You're dangerously underinformed, or intentionally trying to mislead the board into thinking that means the girls aren't going to school. Looking for girls in a madrassa, which is a school for
clerical education in the mosque for those of you keeping score at home, is like looking for women in a Catholic seminary. Except there exist countries in the world that do allow girls into madrassas, while the number of nations with Catholic seminaries admitting women holds steady at
zero. That's how you wind up with fun, punk-ass rhetorical absolutes like "zero." The correct answer is "No girls in Iranian, Pakistani, and Afghani madrassas? So what? How many are in
school?"
Girls enrolled in primary school, expressed as a percentage of the total number of pupils in primary school, for Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the U.S., according to UNESCO.
I stand by my statement that most Islamic countries make provision for the education of girls. The straw man you have waiting for me will just have to wait; Islam is not "gender neutral," nor is any society I've yet seen.
Bilmore, tell me I'm whiffing, because you really can't be that much of a misinformed ass.
