Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province is rewriting its textbooks to be more Islamic, officials stated on Thursday (ReutersVOA). The new textbooks will reportedly include passages on jihad, remove images of unveiled women, and rewrite some of the history. Inayatullah Khan, the leader of the religious Jamaat-e-Islami party, stated: "Kashmir, which we consider an integral part of Pakistan, was stated as part of India in the map in a book. Similarly, it was mentioned that Bangladesh got freedom from Pakistan, which we don't accept." He also said the books would replace content on non-Muslims with content on Muslims. The province's textbooks had previously been rewritten in 2008 under the leadership of the secular Awami National Party.
