Yemen - shuts 1,400 illegal religious centres

This is good news.

Yemen, Osama bin Laden’s ancestral home, has shut down nearly 1,400 unlicensed religious schools in the last two months for promoting militant ideology and hatred towards the West.

Sheikh Yahya al-Najar, an official at the Religious Guidance and Endowments Ministry, said that a government committee had investigated 4,000 religious schools and centres and found that 65 per cent of them violated education laws.


More of this please.
