PAKISTAN-RELIGION-ISLAM-MADRASA
In this June 29, 2010 photograph, Pakistani religious school owner Mowlana Seyed Muheddin, 46, walks in the courtyard of his Islamic seminary in Rawalpindi. According to government records, there are at least 15,148 madrasas in Pakistan with more than two million students -- around five percent of the 34 million children in formal education. But officials suspect thousands more go unregistered, providing sons of Pakistan's poverty-stricken majority the only affordable education. The majority get their funds from local Muslim businessmen and traders, who believe donations to mosques and seminaries are a fast-ticket to paradise, along with Islamic foundations, charities and Pakistanis living abroad.
