BS. Perry is just talking about teaching the rise and expansion of Islam without any teaching OF islam.
Our history lessons have focused primarily on western culture, and has be woefully inadequate in dealing with some of the other major civilizations.
Describing the importance of the agreement, Governor Perry explained that “traditional Western education speaks little of the influence of Muslim scientists, scholars, throughout history, and for that matter the cultural treasures that stand today in testament to their wisdom.”
And Perry supports the Sharia promoting Aga Khan

If Perry is cozying up to Muslims this much as Gov of Texas, how much more would he do so as President?
Sure, and you'll be showing some kind of evidence, right?
No? You mean you're pulling this factoid out from between your buttocks?
Does Christ following Rick Perry
Perry is pretty good, but I doubt Jesus Christ is a follower.
Maybe on Twitter, but I doubt it.
voters would be horrified to know that trusted original islamic writings describe in detail how their founder was having sex with a little girl while she was playing with her dolls.
I really don't see what Justin Bieber has to do with this.
?? This author is really stretching Perry’s comments beyond the broken point.
In this Official Texas Speech, Rick Perry quotes the Koran, and praises Muslims and Islam....Grovels calling Muslim leader “His Highness” and “Rare is the religious leader whose vision is so extraordinary that his appeal transcends nationality, ethnicity and faith traditions. His Highness, the Aga Khan, is one such extraordinary leader. “

I bet you Perry backers don’t have the COURAGE to read the speech.
1) the 6th pillar of Islam is jihad
2) the ultimate goal of Islam is world domination
Neither of these is compatible with peace.

Who is the author of this article? There isn’t a listing for Aisha Foda in the author list. Is that you?
Interesting to note that Ron Paul is running away with the poll....
Hmmm. Conflicting stories. What's a FReeper to think? I blame Bieber (stealth LRonpaulbot) for trying to cause harm to Governor Perry.

What’s his take on the corrupt nation of Mexico and its illiterates taking over the Southwest?
It is ironic that Islam actually represented a step up for women among the pagan Arabs. Exposure of unwanted female infants was a common practice among those tribes. At least Islam prohibited that practice.
Which is not to say it is not an Antichrist religion and now dangerous to the world.
Do we really need someone in the WH who is so chummy with Islam? Wasn’t one enough?
Perry has continued to have the RIGHT environment for Texas jobs and Texas economy...the rest is NOT what Americans are concerned about...besides...as Jack Wheeler has stated in an article on Friday..a snippet from his article on the moslem thingy...
Now we get to talk bout Rick Perry. He's running, his announcement tomorrow in South Carolina timed to blow all the other candidates scrambling for votes in Iowa's meaningless straw poll out of the water. He doesn't take prisoners. He's also the next president.
Actually, though, this isn't about him, but rather the profound mendacious stupidity of his Dem critics.
That libsite linked above begging the PIAPS to run, Salon, put up this hilarious hit-piece Wednesday (8/09), Rick Perry: The Pro-Sharia Candidate? The kid who wrote it, Justin Elliott, is wonderfully ignorant of what he's blathering about.
His accusation is that Perry is buds with the Aga Khan. Somehow, that means he will promote the imposition of radical Moslem sharia law upon America if president. The Aga Khan is indeed, as Elliott says, the spiritual leader of a form of Islam called Ismailism, and is revered by the some 20 million Ismailis round the world.
We talked about the Ismailis in The Pamir Knot (September 2010). We learned that they "believe in a mystical, peaceful form of Islam that is the antithesis of hate, violence, and Sharia imperialism that infuses mainstream Sunni or Shia Islam."
Further:
"There are no mosques in the Pamirs, because Ismailis have no mosques. They pray privately - men and women together. Ismaili men are extremely respectful of women. The thought of treating women as an inferior form of humanity as does mainstream Islam is as disgusting to Ismaili men as it is to us. No Ismaili man would even think of demanding his wife wear a veil or cover her face in public...
"Up in these lost mountains on the roof of the world, there is a form of Islam that should be a model for Moslems all over the world, a moral contrast to the medieval evil of Wahhabi Islam of the Saudis, the Deobandi Islam of the Taliban, or the Khomeini Islam of the Mullahs of Iran."
Which is why the Islamist missionaries of sharia hate Ismailis more than us infidels. So good for Perry being friends with Ismailis. To claim this makes him "pro-sharia" is a twisted joke.
But maybe Elliott wants the joke to be on us. Maybe he does know the difference between Ismailis and Wahhabis, and is counting on conservatives being ignorant enough not to know. His goal is to smear Perry, and is hoping conservative ignorance will achieve it.
Let's not let this lib smear artist get away with it.

There is, however, one Republican governor being urged to run for president who is pro-Sharia: New Jersey's Chris Christie.
When criticized for appointing a Moslem Brotherhood lawyer, Sohail Mohammed, to the New Jersey Superior Court, he spouted the accusations of "Islamophobia" he learned from Grover Norquist, called his critics "crazies," and declared "this sharia law business is just crap."
Jihad Watch's Robert Spencer notes that "What's crap is the idea that Christie is fit to be president." Daniel Pipes states what is now obvious, that "Christie will never become president." Stick to New Jersey, Chris. Just like you promised.
