The father of a North Carolina ninth grader who was given 'anti-Muslim' literature in class says the material handed out is not an issue of free speech, but of slander and defamation.
A representative from the Kamil International Ministries Organization, a Christian group based in Raleigh, was invited by a teacher to come and speak to the class. He handed out literature class that compared the teachings of Jesus with accusations against Islam's Prophet Muhammad; Muslims Jesus as a prophet of God equal to the prophet Muhammad.
Among the materials handed out was a pamphlet called "Jesus not Muhammad," as well as one entitled, "Do Not Marry a Muslim Man." The latter pamphlet compares parts of the Koran with those of the Bible, such as:
—Husband, beat your wives and deny them sex." (The book of Islam, Koran 4:34)
—"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the Church and gave Himself for her." (The Holy Bible, Ephesians 5:25)
It warns women to not be lured into marrying a Muslim man, even for his "dark good looks, education, financial means, and the interest he shows in you."
"You may be excited that you found the 'tall, dark, and handsome man' you have been looking for. His sweet words and attention may blind you regarding the power, importance, and influence of his culture and Islamic faith," the pamphlet says. "Because in the United States, we have freedom of religion, he may agree that you can remain a Christian and you may think there will be no problem with such a marriage. But do not be fooled and become a victim of his religion, Islam, which has very oppressive rules regarding women's status and rights. Such marriages will never be out of trouble."

Shouldn't be handed out in school. Period.
The school administration agreed with you. I am not sure I do.
I agree.
You can get a very literal "blood-boiling" in some parts of the Islamic world.
I think you are right too. This kind of information along with info on homosexuality has no place in the schools. Kids are there to learn how to read, write and learn arithmetic.
It is simply comparing religions.
What is wrong with that.
Isn't the class called "comparative religions"?
Is-Slime is just that. Slime. Hateful? Not really, more like Factual and Accurate.
Yeah right,and when you find a public school that isn't pushing some agenda besides reading,writing and math drop me an e-mail ok !!!
"Shouldn't be handed out in school. Period."
Yes it should
Schools
Court Houses
Churches
Legislature offices
Governors offices
Congressional offices
Senatorial offices
House Chambers
Senate Chambers
Every statehouse and public location from San Francisco to Bangor Maine and all spots in between, North to South, East to West until we rid our country of this cancer.
There it is.
Technically it shouldn't have happened. But with public (and some private) school curricula painting an exclusively warm-and-fuzzy, religion-of-peace picture of Islam, the "rest of the story" needs to get in there somehow. We heard about the school where kids were made to "pretend to be a Muslim" for a couple of weeks, including reciting the profession of faith which is viewed as irrevocable by many Muslims. But we never hear about a school where the kids are made to pretend to be Christians or pretend to be Jews.
Per your tagline;
I have property in the desert of soCal where there was a huge problem with illegals crossing through and causing a lot of trouble. Duncan Hunter actually four wheeled out there and met with some of the few people living out there who were affected.
He was THE ONLY ONE to do that. I just missed meeting with him.
He is truly a man "of the people" with his priorities straight.
I sincerely hope he is "the man" in 08.
"So for a person like me to feel like that — I've never been to a mosque — to feel like that … for me to feel such hideous attacks, they were not just pointing out failures or weaknesses in Islam or Muslims, they were just attacking."
Pretty strong words from an avowed apostate. I also seriously doubt that he has never stepped into a mosque. Methinks he doth protest too much- A dead giveaway for a muslim to begin with.
Why? are you saying this from a constitutional point of view or personal choice?
They are "required" to lie to advance their position.
It's called taquiya/sp.
