Secretary General, President Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Mohammed Al-Issa at the launch of Girl's Education in Muslim Societies conference from Pakistan's capital Islamabad:
"Nothing is more serious than depriving a woman of her right to education, whether in whole or in part, claiming that it is based on Islamic law." Any person or entity, public or private, expressing reservations on this subject must refrain from associating their reluctance with religion, after Muslim scholars have unanimously affirmed women's right to education.
