madrasah
Muslim religious academy
A madrasah is an Islamic educational institution, ranging from elementary schools teaching basic literacy and Quran to advanced colleges of Islamic law and theology.
The word is Arabic for "school" and appears in various transliterations: madrasa, madrassa, medrese.
In Western media, madrasah often carries connotations of religious extremism, though most are ordinary schools: He attended a madrasah before university.
