Madrassas have received a lot of bad press. Where has this stereotype come from?

We spend the day at a madrassa, an Islamic school, to see behind the layers of myth-making that have been created and the students have the opportunity to see and experience what life is like in one of these institutions.

Watch this episode and see what you think.
