School for Shar'ia: Islamist School Wins Dept of Education Blue Ribbon for Excellence Award

School for Shar'ia: Islamist School Wins Dept of Education Blue Ribbon for Excellence Award Beila Rabinowitz at Militant Islam Monitor tells the whole sad story:

October 20, 20005 - Philadelphia, PA - PipeLineNews.org - Jihad through Da'wa [conversion of non-Muslims] in the form of domestic Islamic education has gotten a boost from an unlikely source, the U.S. government. The administration has just presented the New Horizons Islamic School in Pasadena, California the United States Department of Education's "Blue Ribbon for Excellence" award....

The BIAE, based in Los Angeles - which plans the curriculum of the New Horizons School together with the Islamic Center of Southern California even offers an Islamized version of the Pledge of Alliance on their website. It begins with the phrase - "As an American Muslim I pledge alliance to ALLAH and his Prophet." http://www.biae.net/pledge.html...

As the curriculum provider for the Islamic School of Pasadena, the BIAE underscores the conflict of interests between Islamic education, and the goals of the US Department of Education. The latter insisting that, "schools singled out for national honors will now reflect the goals of our nation's new education reforms for high standards and accountability." This begs the question as to who will be held accountable for the decision to present an award to an Islamist school which aims to replace the Constitution with shari'a. http://www.ed.gov/programs/nclbbrs/index.html

The clash between the Islamo-fascist weltanschauung of the Islamic school enterprise in the U.S. and the ideals of American education is evident in the activities of Amina Al Sarraf [a consultant and author of textbooks and syllabi for Islamic schools] who serves as the interim principal of the Islamic School of Pasadena.

Most recently Al Sarraf spoke to ISNA [Islamic Society of North America] a Wahhabist Da'wa front.

ISNA is the foremost distributor of Islamist educational materials in North America. ISNA is the founder of the New Horizons schools – such as the one lead by Al Sarraf - both in North America and abroad.

I just learned the other day, via MSM, that these schools exist. MSM presents it as a fact of life. Completely veiled women walking the streets of Los Angeles is a fact of life, too. Islam everywhere you look; I'd say the numbers double daily.

As an American Muslim, I pledge allegiance to ALLAH and His Prophet, I respect and love my family and my community, and I dedicate my life to serving the cause of truth and justice.

As an American citizen, with rights and responsibilities, I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America And to the republic for which it stands, one nation, Under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

The total pledge. What does it mean? What it says to me is their loyalty to the US is secondary to their loyalty to Islam. IMO, when the 'holy war' comes to our streets, these people cannot be trusted.

notice their pledge doesn't talk about pledging themselves to the country, only to allah and their own beliefs. When they talk about "truth and justice", its only to other muslims. The Quron says its ok to lie to non-muslims.

That's because america is the land of decadent infidels and this pledge wouldn't interfer with them commiting acts of terrorism against american one day. And the idiot liberals who promote the destruction of the constitution and american way of life will back this up all the way. Multi-cultrism for the sake of multi-cultrism.

Their "loyalty" to the U.S. is nil.
Their aim is to destroy us; we are the epitome of "infidel."

Yes ... at least one Catholic high school in Maryland was designated a Dept. of Education "Blue Ribbon School of Excellence" a few years ago. It's apparently a permanent sort of citation, they still promote themselves as such.

I'm resonably certain that this school is not unique in being a Catholic school so designated.

Keep thinking these very thoughts.

I don't think the Anti-Christian Losers Union will have anything to say.
