I will say this for Muslims of narrow thought....freedom of speech is their greatest fear. If you can think what you want and talk about it....then you have an open mind. If you look at strict Muslim society...openess is something that must be stopped. From the media to the news...from music to books...society must be closed-minded for Muslims to enjoy their religion. You don't find Muslims winning Nobel prizes for medicine or physics. You don't find Muslims developing heart transplants or new versions of the peanut.

As for this German school...because its in Germany, you have to meet their criteria to have any school (private or public). They do step over the boundary and dictate precisely what schools will teach and to some degree how much of each area. These Muslims likely enjoyed freedoms in the US that you don't have in Germany. My guess is that this Muslim orientation school will clean up its act....and develop a after-school program (because most German schools end at 1:30 in the afternoon anyway) and use the afterschool program to push toward radical ideas. You can avoid conflicts with the legal system this way. They will get what they want in the end....no doubt.
