Islamic college recycled drama with it (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

madrasa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'islamic college' is the definition.
'madrasa' can be an answer for 'college' (I have seen 'religious college' mean 'madrasa' so perhaps 'college' could also mean 'madrasa'). I'm unsure of the 'islamic' bit.

'recycled drama with it' is the wordplay.
'recycled' indicates an anagram.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'it' becomes 'sa' (old-fashioned abbreviation for sex appeal).
'drama' is an anagram of 'madra'.
'madra'+'sa'='MADRASA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for madrasa that I've seen before include "religious college" , "selective school" .)
