Upset Mom Finds Herself Contacting the News After Reading the Answers on Her Son’s Islam Worksheet

A mother in Union County, North Carolina, told WJZY-TV that her son, a freshman at Porter Ridge High School, brought home a worksheet on Islam containing some questionable answers. She was upset enough over the assignment that she contacted the school and her local news station after reviewing the material.

The sentence that bothered the mom the most stated, “Most Muslims’ faith is stronger than the average Christian.”

It should be noted that school officials have yet to provide a completed version of the worksheet to the news outlet. Though it appears that the high school has not disputed the content, the answers were filled in by the student and seemingly have yet to be verified as 100 percent correct.

“If you are going to do it, let’s do it right,” the mother told WJYZ-TV. “I really feel there is a spin on this.”

The mother, who asked to remain anonymous so her child isn’t singled out at school, said officials didn’t provide a clear answer when she asked if Christianity is being taught in the same fashion.

A spokesman at the Islamic Center for Charlotte told the news station that schools shouldn’t teach that Muslims’ faith is automatically stronger than that of Christians.

Lies. If you have to lie to make a point, then the point is no better than a sharp stick in the eye.

“Muslims cut off more heads than Christians!”

No, I doubt if that’s one of their answers.

Obviously, indoctrination of islam by the state. Part of the Obama agenda. Next up, Sharia law.

This whole country has been infiltrated by communists, muslims and other radical groups to the point where they are intending to wear us all down so we accept their crappy religion. I have news for them, NO WAY WILL IT HAPPEN.

a. At it's heart Islam is a plan for world conquest

b. Most Muslims are far less civilized than the average Christian.

c. Starting in the 1970s and 1980s Islam emerged as a potent political force associated with both terrorism and persecution.

d. Muslims are fundamentally opposed to Western Civilization's freedom and peaceful pursuits.

e. These fundamentalists represent hundreds of millions of the population of Islam...

Second page of the assignment, question 1c reads:

"After the fall of Rome in 476, Muslim Scholars Preserved and expanded much of the scientific knowledge that had been gained.

Total BS - there were no such things as Muslim Scholars in 476 since Islam didn't even exist for another 130-odd years.

There's a bunch of things on the rest of that page that are factually false as well.
