The Madrassas are run by the clergy. Students are taught the version of Islam that the clergy permits.

The Koran does sanction killing Christians and Jews just because they are Christians and Jews.

If you, randolph, were to travel to Afghanistan and Pakistan to see the terrorists that fight for the Taliban and Al Qaeda then you would be surprised to find out what are their ethnic origins. You would also find that the majority cannot understand Arabic let alone read it. That makes them illiterate in the original language of the Koran. You are right though that they are trained terrorists. You might also note that I left out the adjective "well."
