~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ISA is a creation of the Saudi Embassy. In a report of the US Commission on International religious Freedom (USCIRF) issued on the ISA in October, 2007, it noted:

o It is the only school in the United States that is operated with the direct authority of the Saudi embassy. Twenty such academies are operated by the government of Saudi Arabia in foreign capital cities around the world. o It operates on two northern Virginia properties owned or leased by the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia, with the leased property being leased by “the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia d/b/a (doing business as) the Islamic Saudi Academy.” o The Saudi ambassador to the United States is the chairman of the school’s board of directors, which, according to the Academy’s web site, “oversees the educational and administrative operation” and “provides direction and guidance to every aspect of” the school’s operations. o The school is funded by the government of Saudi Arabia. o On numerous occasions, Saudi Embassy officials have spoken to the press on the ISA’s behalf-including in response to inquiries about its curriculum. o According to the Academy’s brochure, posted on its own web site, the ISA uses Saudi government “curriculum, syllabus, and materials.”

Please see the attached articles on the ISA.

An investigation by the congressionally appointed U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom recommended that the school be closed due to the "Islamic supremacism and hatred of non-Muslims taught there".

Investigations found an eleventh-grade text used by the school contains a notorious Islamic tradition in which Muhammad says that a sign of the Day of Judgement will be Muslims killing Jews, who will hide behind stones and trees, and the stones and trees with cry out: "Oh Muslim, oh servent of God, here is a Jew hiding behind me. Come here and kill him."

Other texts declared that "the Jews conspired against Islam and its people," that Muslims could lawfully kill and seize the property of polytheists, and that adulterers and apostates from Islam should be put to death.

To make matters worse, Fairfax County Supervisor Gerald Hyland attributed this to misunderstandings of the Qur'an. "I would be less than frank, he told reporters, "if I didn't tell you that the curriculum does contain references to the Qur'an, if taken out of context and read literally, would cause some concern."

One would think Hyland would hesitate to claim that an Islamic school, staffed by people who know the Qur'an far better than he does, was misreading the Qur'an, but he fells compelled to jump into the PC lockstep, no matter how absurb it makes him look.

American officials were thus in the peculair position of pretending that the Islamic Saudi Academy was twisting the true teaching of Islam, and asking it to stop teaching what were actually traditional and deeply rooted Islamic tenets.

The Commission of International Religious Freedom also found that "some Saudi government funded textbooks used in North American Islamic schools have been found to encourage incitement to violence against non-Muslims."

The above is from the chapter: Readin',Writin', and Subjugatin' the Infidel: The Stealth Jihad in American Schools, from Robert Spencer's book STEALTH JIHAD.

It was an amazing read and I highly suggest it for anyone interested in how Radical Islam is Subverting this great country.
