Mother Upset Over School Assignment About Islam
The Huffington Post ^ | October 7, 2014 | Rebecca Klein

Posted on 10/07/2014 10:42:12 AM PDT by EveningStar

A mother in Michigan took to Facebook last week to express her outrage over a 10th-grade school assignment that she felt promoted Islam.

In an initial post, Jennette Hall complained about a Jenison High School assignment that asked students to make a pamphlet about Islam. The post, which had been shared over 5,400 times as of Tuesday morning, said students were told the pamphlet would be used to "introduce Islam to 3rd graders." ...

“This assignment upset me because they are presenting Allah as the same God of the Christians and Jews. This paper, in my opinion, is promoting Islam by describing Allahs names as 'beautiful'. To me this is not simply factual like it should be,” Hall wrote about the assignment ...

It’s CHURCH and state that concerns them. MOSQUE and state? Not so much.

It will be just like the way the sodomites set up Christian businesses to be sued for not choosing to be a party to their abomination, but they won't go after a Muslim business for the same reason. I'm still waiting to hear about the lawsuits against the muslim cab drivers who refused to carry passengers to the sodomite games in, what was it, Cincinnati?

The drawings of a smiling and waving man and woman are laughable. Haven’t seen very many smiling Muslim men, and certainly not seen the faces of many Muslim women.

Nowhere in the intro sheet for that assignment was a mention of the “submit” meaning of Islam.... and that’s for starters.

Maybe she should contact Bill Maher (see recent “discussion” with Ben Affleck who accused Maher of being an anti-Islamist)

Should be easy:

1) September 11th, 2001
2) 19 Radical Islamists
3) High jacked three planes
4) Killed 3,000 Americans

Now sweetie, what else do you need to know about Islam.

I don’t see a problem with the assignment. Just tell the truth.
Moehammed was the most Islamic of men who started a political cult to justify his evil lying, thieving, murdering and philandering perversions by cloaking it all behind a higher demonic entity who demands absolute submission and worship.

The God of Christians is a God of love... Islam’s God, demand conversion to Islam or death for the infidels who do not believe on Allah or Mohammed.

“The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant.” Maximilien Robespierre

The difference between the two:

“The bosom of....”

“By the sword...”

One is unerring love and free choice that all parents would want.

The other, is exactly what bullies want and why the “Bosom Buddies” always Bitch Slap the “Muslim Hoodies.

No one likes to be Fk’d with and all bullies are really sick, childish, cowards who flee if someone is not to going to take their Shiite...

The principal says that they study all five major world religions, but do they ask their students to make pamphlets promoting them? I’ll bet not.

Well she is living in Michiganistan so that’s what happens when you let the hordes invade your state.

I view Islam like Ivy. The first year it weeps, the second year it creeps and third year it leaps.

Those people hide behind a “neutral” opposition to “religion” when in fact they are simply anti-Christian.

Time to rip off their masks and directly accuse them.
