By the way this waste Rizvi is kicked out by his community also and even his parents are ashamed of giving birth to such a rotten egg. This rotten egg Rizvi is follower of Devil and has no respect to any one including hiw own parents. If you still praise him, i think you better consult any Doctor.

ISIS idealogy spread not thru madrasa education but online education without any proper guidance of ulemas (knowledgable person with islamic scriptures). proper Madrasa education may eradicate ISIS idealogy... these soulless shia idealogues with the help of zeonists , capitalists and fascists , want to promote ISIS.. that is reason , they are demanding to shut down madrasa system.

The Ashram from wherre you learned should be shut first. Because you are the number one criminal, corrupted, communal terrorist.
This fool should be hanged for his illogic statements.
Who the hell this creature Rizvi to talk about Madrasas. Are Madrasas run by his Father's help. Bull shit. Let him go to hell. He is chappa licker of sangh parivar and appeasing central Govt by giving illogic, illegal and unworthy statements criticisign Muslims only to hide looting of crores of rupees from wakf board. He is a thug and looter. He is not a Muslim and has no right to talk about Madrasas. This hate monger should be dragged out to street and garlanded with old chappals and shoes. He is kicked by his own community for his cheating them. He is being funded by sangh parivar for his wrong doings and illegal activities. Police should dig out his past history and income.
