More than 260 students attended a conference on Islam sponsored by the Council on American-Islamic Relations at Providence High School on Wednesday.
The all-day event started with a local Islamic religious leader reciting from the Koran and a CAIR representative reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
Students attended lectures on Islam and participated in discussions on a variety of topics.
"It was a beautiful day," said Sarwat Hussain, executive director of CAIR-San Antonio. "Many teachers and interfaith leaders also participated in the event and deemed it a great success."
Tomorrow, firearms safety class.
"Either submit to Allah, pay the jizya, or die. There will be no question-and-answer session."
Maybe they should have showed a video of 9/11. That was truly an "Islamic awareness day".
" ... and deemed it a great success."
And what was the goal/objective that was achieved? A "great success" indicates that the goal was met.
My guess is that they convinced the girls that there was no difference between a nun's habit, and an Islamic chador.

Did they offer free flying lessons? |
Sorry...I won't forget.
Bukhari:V9B84N59 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.” Whoever says this will save his property and his life from me.’”
Qur’an 9:3 “Allah is not bound by any contract or treaty with non-Muslims, nor is His Apostle.”

Surah 4:34
As to those women on whose part you fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly).
I recall an article, I think it was on jihadwatch.org a few months ago, about Sarwat Hassain mentioning about how very compatible Islam was with democracy around the world. I'm sure the young ladies had lots of questions for Ms Hassain about democracy in Islamic countries. For the sake of equal time, Providence should bring in a speaker from the Sudan or Iran to see how well the two go together. Like that would ever happen.
On the lighter side, maybe they have perforated summer burkas for the Texas heat.
CAIR is an Islamic Facist Group that will be in Court soon !!
They are helping Al Queda !
Must be something wrong with me, but if I were sending my daughter to a Catholic school, I wouldnt Islamics in there teaching her the Koran.
So stupid of this H.S. not to know C.A.I.R.'s real agenda!
"We are a group of concerned Americans dedicated to eliminating the Islamist terrorist threat to the United States Constitution." http://www.anti-cair-net.org/
Sorry if my sarcasm wasn't eveident. IMO, CAIR should be cooling their heels at Gitmo with the rest of 'em
From Front Page Magazine, Sept 24, 2003. An excerpt.
Last Wednesday, The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Terrorism, Technology and Homeland Security held the second in a series of hearings aimed at examining Saudi Arabia’s role in exporting Islamic extremism abroad. The hearing, titled “Two Years After 9/11: Connecting the Dots,” was focused on the prevalence of the radical Wahhabi Islamic sect among Muslim political groups in the U.S. CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad and Chairman Omar Ahmed were invited to testify at the hearing, but both declined to attend. In their absence – and in front of their empty witness chair - the committee heard compelling evidence that Saudi Arabia financially and ideologically supports a network of American organizations that act as the defenders, financiers, and front groups of international terrorists. CAIR has been a major player in this network since its creation in 1994, with a particularly soft spot for the suicide-bombing death squads of Hamas.
Senators turned out in force to connect the dots between CAIR and the deviant Islamic extremism that led to the vicious attacks of 9/11. In his opening statement, Chairman Jon Kyl said, “a small group of organizations based in the U.S. with Saudi backing and support, is well advanced in its four- decade effort to control Islam in America -from mosques, universities and community centers to our prisons and even within our military. Moderate Muslims who love America and want to be part of our great country are being forced out of those institutions.”
Senator Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat who has been steadfast in his efforts to uncover the nexus of Hamas front groups in the U.S., was ruthless in his portrayal of CAIR as part of an international terror network. In his opening remarks, Senator Schumer stated that prominent members of CAIR—referring specifically to Nihad Awad and Omar Ahmed—have “intimate links with Hamas.” Later, he remarked that “we know [CAIR] has ties to terrorism.”
Even Senator Richard Durbin, who has made common cause with some of America’s Wahhabi-backed groups, came down hard on CAIR. In his final comments he conceded that CAIR is “unusual in its extreme rhetoric and its associations with groups that are suspect,” and requested that the committee seek the testimony of mainstream Muslim groups in its place in the future.
CAIR’s affinity for terrorist causes is well documented in the press. At a 1994 meeting at Barry University, Nihad Awad stated succinctly, “I am a supporter of the Hamas movement.” Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper has defended Saudi Arabia’s financial aid to families of Palestinian suicide bombers. In recent months, three CAIR officials were indicted on terrorism-related charges.
My thoughts exactly, what "kind" of Catholic school is this? I can understand if they had coverted-muslims speaking (those that have become Christian), but really can't understand all this "tolerance" PC coming from a supposed Christian organization. Interesting....
