Kyrgyzstan as a rehabilitation place for German teenagers
Centrasia informs that according to Deutsche Welle, German difficult teenagers are sent to Kyrgyzstan for rehabilitation in the framework of the project that was launched in 1998.
Frank Krenner, leader of the group of German scouts Frank Krenner was rafting along Irtysh river and an excellent idea to send difficult teenagers in remote villages of Siberian region came to his mind. Mayor of Schweinfurt of Bavaria and chairs of Siberian villages supported the idea and German teenagers along with social workers were sent to the rehabilitation places. In Siberian villages, the teenagers saw horses and cows for the first time, they are taught to take care for ducks and hens, to fire a furnace and cultivate the land. The project was successful as more than 70% of teenagers, who came back from Siberia, did not come to police sight.
Many of difficult German teenagers are sent for rehabilitation to Kyrgyzstan, Greece, Norway, Spain, Italy and other countries. But the best results are reported from Siberia.
What about Kyrgyz difficult teenagers? I am sure sending them to Siberia will not help much. What do you think?

“What about Kyrgyz difficult teenagers?”
What about here: www.binoria.org
From the Toronto Star (From Edmonton to the Madrassa by Michelle Shephard, May 14, 2006):
Baksh is one of about 200 foreign students studying at Jamia Binoria, a sprawling madrassa on the outskirts of town. There is a “handful” of Canadians among them. No specific figure is offered, just as no reliable records are kept on the number of Canadians studying at other seminaries in the country.
Founded in 1954, Jamia Binoria used to be closed to outside visitors. But in an effort to refute claims that Pakistan’s nearly 10,000 religious seminaries teach Al Qaeda-inspired ideology and breed terrorism, the doors are now open.
“Madrassas, this one or any other one, does not create terrorists; they turn terrorists into human beings,” says founder and principal Mufti Muhammad Naeem.”Just give 10 Canadians from prison, and within six months, I will tunr them into good citizens and good human beings.”
Madrassas are a contentious issue both here and abroad, since the United States, and later Britain, alleged that the schools were terrorist training centres. Last summer, U.S. Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld continued talking about madrassas that “train people to be suicide killers and extremists, violent extremists.”
According to a promise made by Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, Baksh and his parents shouldn’t be here. In a televised January 2002 speech to address Washington’s concerns about Islamic institutes breeding new recruits for Al Qaeda, Musharraf introduced the Madrassa Registration and Regulation Ordinance, intended to bring the religious seminaries into the mainstream public education system.

I am so glad that my parents are atheist. No way I would survive in a religious school, unless I came from a religious family. Thank Goddess for communist approach to religion.

Ataman Rakin, I wrote very clearly that I like community approach to religion. I did not say I liked everything in communism.

Well Anna, I quote/paste exactly from your comment: “Thank Goddess for communist approach to religion.” As far as I know, there is a slight difference between communIST and communITY.
Now that we’re at it: what do you mean with “community approach to religion”? Something like the Ismaili do?

Ok, that was a typo. I mean I do like the way Soviet communists perceived religion but not communism as an ideology.

“Ok, that was a typo. I mean I do like the way Soviet communists perceived religion but not communism as an ideology.”
And still: what has the latter to do with “community approach” then?

Why don’t you just admit that it was a Freudian slip?
