Actually each madrasa is a self contained terror unit. Every year our government takes around 300 billion rupees (amount donated by devotees on their visits to temples)from various temples across out country. Out of this amount GOI donated 60 billion rupees out of it to mad-rassa's for mad mullas to preach hatred and incite violence in the very country that shelters them!!! what irony, no!!!
