Sex and the Madrasa

I'm gratified to see that this story has developed legs, thanks to Brian Murphy, a reporter at the Associated Press. I'm quoted (in intimidatingly august company) about three-quarters of the way down the page. The story was also covered in a short piece by Charles P. Freund in Reason magazine in April, picking up on my piece at the ISIS site the December before that.

P.S., Sept. 24: The madrasa story has made CNN.

To complete the quota of material on sexual violation in Pakistan, here's a related story in this morning's New York Times on President Musharraf's recent comments on some well-known rape cases--along with the well-deserved response to them.
