Before I began to research Rick Perry's record, I perceived him to be nothing more than a garden variety southern Republican governor, probably conservative, certainly more conservative than his 2010 opponent Kay Bailey Hutchison. But the fact that he had such a spirited challenge from both sides in the GOP primary, both from the moderates AND the Conservatives, made me wonder just how conservative he really was. Just a bit of research revealed the gardasil mandate on preteen girls and their parents (and the cronysim associated with it), his full throated advocacy of open borders, including a pipeline for illegals dubbed the Trans-Texas corridor, his provision of in state tuition to the offspring of illegals, his doubling of the state budget during his tenure and his support in 2008 of the pro-choice social liberal Rudy Giuliani for President. I was not shocked to find he was not a conservative (After all, 49% of the Texas GOP voters, who are overwhelmingly conservative, voted in the primary not to renominate him.) What took me completely by surprise was his great affinity for Islam, the warm words which the Hamas front group CAIR has for him but most significantly of all, the Islamicization of the curriculum in the Texas public schools which the supposedly conservative Governor of Texas has quietly implemented.
Perry, you see, has a cozy relationship with the Aga Khan, the head of the Ismailis, a realtively small sect sect of Shia Islam that reportedly has 15 to 20 million followers. Perry and Khan have confected two cooperation agreements between the state of Texas and Ismaili institutions, the most significant of which is a program, now pervading every Texas public school, to proselytize and to desensitize, schoolchildren about Islam. Dubbed the "Muslim Histories and Culture Project", it really amounts to Islamic propaganda forced upon a captive audience...the malleable youngsters attending Texas public schools.
Up until a few days ago, the Texas school curriculum could be viewed on the SAN ANTONIO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT's own website:
www.saisd.net/admin/curric/sstudies/mhcp/mhcproject.html
This link has now mysteriously disappeared. I wonder if that has anything to do with the following posting on Pam Gellar's Blog, which exposes the entire enterprise, and which thankfully saved the curriculum abstracts:
Before the link to the San Antonio Independent School District Website was disabled and the website scrubbed, Gellar and company had lifted the curriculum abstracts from it, which show:
"a) High praise for Gov. Perry's collaboration with the Aga Khan, leaving no question about Perry's complicity and active support; and b) A thorough whitewashing of the nature and history of Islam that ignores Islam's bloody history while simultaneously portraying the Crusades as a bloody assault on Islamic soil by Christians."
*******************************
The curriculum abstracts characterize the interaction of Islam and Christianity as follows:
"While Islam "spreads" and "extends," presumably in the same way that dew forms on flower petals, Crusaders "wrest political control of the Holy Land from Muslim rulers, damaging the positive relations that had previously existed." Nowhere is it mentioned that the Crusades were prompted by two crises: (1) the ruthless treatment of Christian pilgrims attempting to see Jerusalem, which was under Muslim control, and (2) Byzantine Emperor Alexius's plea for European knights to help him take back territory that had just been overrun by an invasion of Muslim Turks. "
***********************************************
Also lifted from the now scrubbed website was the following:
"A presentation of the Koran and Muhammad that can only be described as open proselytization for Islam in public schools.
An idealized portrayal of Cordoba's "multicultural" society that minimizes the oppression and political upheaval that took place under Muslim misrule, which largely brought on its own demise through infighting similar to what we see in the Islamic world today. A bizarrely twisted portrayal of the Islamic world that blames Islam's repression of women on Western Colonialism.
A naked advertisement for the Aga Khan and the Ismaili sect of Islam. This is particularly dangerous because the Ismailis are a sect of only about 20 - 30 million people -- approximately 2% of the entire Muslim population and therefore not representative of Islam as a whole. Also, while the Ismailis may portray themselves as relatively modern, they still have an anti-Western historical narrative that portrays the West as colonialist while ignoring Islam's own bloody form of colonialism. In making overtures to build bridges with one small Islamic sect, Gov. Perry has replaced the Western narrative of history with the narrative of 1.5 billion Muslims who see the West as the enemy. AND YES, THEY REALLY DO SEE THE WEST AS THE ENEMY, as this curriculum makes clear."
*******************************
After reading the teacher's abstracts of this Islamic proselytism, which can be seen by scrolling down the link, I was aghast. If any teacher in the public schools dared to even mention Christianity or Judaism, they would be fired. This curriculum mandates far more than a casual mention. It lionizes Islam, papers over its excesses and trashes Christianity, all at the same time. It is doing immense, yet very subtle, harm to the most vulnerable among us...school children. I daresay that most public school parents in Texas are unaware that their children are being brainwashed in such a fashion.
It turns out that Rick Perry, the godfather of the gardasil mandate for preteen girls also subscribes to another mandate... mandatory Islamic proselytization. Both mandates, it should be noted, require no parental consent. This brought to mind the old slogan Jesse Jackson used to use, "We want hope for brains not dope for veins." Apparently, Governor Perry's education platform was "Gardasil for veins; Islamopropaganda for brains". As the writer correctly observes:
If Barack Obama had imposed such a curriculum on schools we'd be calling for his impeachment. Therefore it is unconscionable to look the other way when it comes to Perry.
The best that can be said for Rick Perry in connection with the Perry/Khan curriculum is that he is very naive. In putting across these two odious mandates on public school children in Texas, gardasil and the euphemistically titled "Muslim Histories and Culture Project", Perry has demonstrated either a colossal lack of judgment or a hidden (and darker) agenda, either of which should disqualify him from consideration for the GOP nomination.
I hear conditions are favorable for the formation of ozone in the forecast.
Cheers!
You work with Hispanic activists?
They're not even that intelligent to realize that critical material should be *sourced*.
Instead they call her nicknames like TM and suggest that she is out only for her own pocketbook; or say she has no intention of running and can't win anyway.
Cheers!
Sorry, bud.
I don't fawn over people no matter who the hell they are or even if I like 'em.
You fawn all you wish. Build a freakin' shrine, why not.
Quite thinking like an American and understand how they see and think!
Islamic Center of Irving Texas states:
Our Vision : 'To become the minaret of Islam in the west.'
In Islam the Minaret represents a countries submission to Islam, which is why they are so tall. To put a Mosque, especially with Minerets represents TO THEM they are conquering another country.
As for their numbers...thousands is correct. And it is widely know, to the informed, Texas is a "favorite" for the incoming Muslim. BTW...Google is your friend too.
I wasn’t gonna say that. ROFL. BTW, we just started a new site. An enemies of Israel site. specifics. Like what we have for here. not up yet. Coming soon.
I am so sick of the evil. islam, nazis, neonazis, communists, skinheads, the dregs of the world...et al. I soooo need a break.
When you ask why, or point at holes in his record, they attack you personally.
Must be something in the water down there that neutralizes IQ points and makes the residents belligerent as a matter of course.
Cheers!
You don’t have to fawn but MestaMachines opinion is of very high value here.
And remember -- Carter was up by 30 points over Reagan in the spring before the election.
Looks like Sarah's doing just fine.
Cheers!
I already built one for you, so that’s okay. YOU are gonna stay my friend until hell freezes ovah! It don’t even matter that Jews don’t believe in hell. ROFL
I am thinking like an American.
My constitution states: “Fine, build a ****ing minaret. You mess with me and you’re toast.”
I understand the covert nature of Islam very well.
I say build your minarets, it makes you easier to identify.
HEY!!! Rasmussen just comed out with a new poll. Seems 58% of voters think the TEA Party will be VERY helpful to the GOP. Imagine that.
This is unworthy of you.
It only took nineteen to bring us 9-11.
More than yours?
Why?
Sweet!
yes.
Thanks, Jim and thanks for the defense earlier in the thread.
In spite of the Perry pushers’ efforts to glibly dismiss these legitimate concerns, everyone now knows that Rick Perry is not a conservative. Mitt Romney is not a conservative. They will be fighting over maybe 30% of the GOP primary vote.
Bachmann has a conservative voting record but no executive experience and lacks the ability to raise money and to really inspire her troops the way Palin does. Palin will overwhelm her in the conservative “mini-primary” and then dispatch whichever of the RINOs (Romney or Perry) is left standing).
Isn’t it just a little bit surreal to see the pundit class proclaiming a guy like Perry (who needed help to get renominated and reelected just last year) over the person (Palin) who provided the help that he himself crowed about as being so crucial. How dumb does can the chattering class be?
The thing that is lost in the fog is that many of us Palin supporters first don’t think she’s going to run and secondly will not bash the 2nd or third choice in case she doesn’t.
I love Sarah, she’s the best true conservative (potential) candidate we got. But there’s a pretty decent chance that she will not run and anybody with a semblance of rational thought knows this. Quit pi$$ing on her opponents when she has none. If she run’s, Katy bar the door, but untill then why not STFU. Beat up on the true Washington pseudo liberals in the race, Mitt, Newt, Huntsman etc etc, but don’t post half truth journalistic propaganda that would be equally as home at the DU as the New York Times.
BTW, anyone who tries to minimize Palin’s strong support of Rick Perry in the past should sit on their thumb and spin, it’s a gross mischaracterization of the truth otherwise known as a lie.
Give it a break. This territory has been slogged through ten dozen times. You’re not original or clever.
I’m willing to listen to arguments from the anti-Perry side. But this crap is not new.
You and your troll buddies are becoming noisome. Find something new or original to make your case so you don’t smell like old farts.
Exactly. Perfect statement regarding the 2 items brought up in the original post. I'll accept his “explanation” and “excuse” (since he apologized) about the Gardasil “mistake.” However, no one can be excused, nor any explanation accepted, for not speaking the truth about the EVIL that is izlam (always has been, always will be). There is simply NO place in Western Civilization for that. It is only a matter of time that Western Civilization will be destroyed if our leaders do not act to remove it, root and branch. The truth is that simple.
I'm sorry that the Governor doesn't seem to understand this truth.
