The Pakistani President has announced that his government will start to take control of a large number of religious schools because they have become a breeding ground for extremists.
President Musharraf shocked many people by saying the religious schools had been stupid to help the Taliban in Afghanistan and they had only produced 'half-baked religious minds' and a 'Kalashnikov culture.'
He has also banned two groups who have been accused of planning the attack on India's parliament that has nearly lead to war between the two countries in the last few weeks.
