An insightful story today in the Telegraph reported how a lack of education in Pakistan is fueling extremism. The article stated that "about half of all the nation's adult men and two-thirds of women are illiterate, even though the authorities have set a notably low bar for judging literacy: the ability to sign one's own name. In a country that deploys nuclear weapons, most adults cannot even manage this elementary task."Flickr photo by IUCNweb used under a Creative Commons License
