*sigh*
With the right political will, we could end up exploiting several trillion barrels of extractable crude oil on the North American continent--enough to potentially cut OPEC's business by 40% or more! And that's not including developing biofuels using fast-growing oil-laden algae, a process that Chevron, Conoco Phillips, Exxon Mobil, and the US divisions of Royal Dutch Shell are already researching.
Certainly, both Christianity and Islam play important roles in all World History courses. I do think, however, that Charles is glossing over the other issue that I raised—the program implemented by Perry promotes one religion (Islam) whilst denigrating another (Christianity). Even leaving aside the toxic effects on our culture of revisionist Islamic history, the Establishment Clause forbids “endorsement” of any religion over another and the Perry-Khan curriculum looks suspiciously like an endorsement to me. While I don’t generally agree with over-expansive readings of the Establishment Clause by the Supreme Court this violation appears to be pretty clear. I imagine Texas has side-stepped such a challenge by asserting that the program is non-sectarian and that it has a secular purpose.
It certainly doesn’t seem to have a purely secular purpose to me.
Most people probably don’t have a problem with the fact that Governor Perry is friends with a prominent muslim. The problem arises when that friendship is parlayed into wide-scale indoctrination of Texas’ youngsters.
Exactly right. The USA has both the natural resources and the talent to develop its energy.
Sharia is indeed a complete way of life (social, cultural, military, religious, and political), governed from cradle to grave by Islamic law NOT theosophy Shariah is, moreover, a doctrine that mandates the rule of Allah over all aspects of society.

Great post, I hope she runs.
That might well be, and Texas is Texas after all. If they accept this at face value nd without question, there is nothing I can do about it. BUT when it threatens to overflow into the highest office in the land, I would be derelict not doing due diligence and studying exactly what rick perry has actually done in Texas.
We are continuously saying that obama is known by the company he keeps. Why is it suddenly different for rick perry? aga khan is no moderate muslim, but how many Texans have delved into the man? How many know anything except what they have been told either by him or by perry? This is a bad guy. His followers fear him and speak about him in whispers.
What makes this hard to pin down, is it isn’t in all Texas schools, only ones specifically chosen by aga khan and rick perry and funded by aga khan. It IS spreading, however, as they train more teachers. Parents are not informed about this.
Mr. Lincoln and his so called reputation is BS. He did NOT like blacks and didn't want them in the country. He said that his solution was to ship them all back to where they came from. There is much documentation to substantiate this statement.
Lincoln wanted to keep the states together and he purposely goaded the south until they fired on Ft. Sumpter and he has his excuse for war. He only initiated the Emancipation Proclamation after much pressure. He didn't want the blacks here at all and didn't want them to inter marry or be the equal to whites.
There are many documents which attest to that. He merely wanted to make sure the Union stayed together and that he wasn't seen as the President who let it break apart.
I hope the he**, and I believe, that Sarah Palin is far above Lincoln.
I read the actual course outline, and it didn’t. I realise that there was this web site that people claim said something different, that disappeared, and that the people who know about the course say wasn’t representative of the course, but all I can speak to is the course information itself.
But I do have to say your treatment is much better than is typical when this issue comes up. Usually we end up confusing the Kahn thing with the federally mandated program that Perry had nothing to do with, that actually did teach what you are saying, and was roundly attacked by Texans everywhere.
I don't say anything negative towards Sarah Palin. That's why I've taken to quoting her, because I'm tired of agreeing with Palin and having a few of her supporters attack me for it
If you have a problem with me quoting Sarah Palin, take it up with Sarah Palin. I can't help it if you read her own quoted words and think it reflects negatively on her. I certainly don't think so.
The Agha Khan, who traditionally gets publicly weighed every year and is donated his weight in gold, is the leader of a tiny (2% - 5%) fairly innocuous Shia Moslem sect, mostly limited in their area of influence. Though the famous Assassins (hashishians) of Persia were Ismailis.
MUCH WORSE in Texas, is the passage of a bill in the Texas Senate to award Fetullah Gulen - the Turkish equivalent to Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini a Certificate of Gratitude to praise him for his services!
Gulen was exiled from Turkey by SECULAR government but was pardonned by the Supreme Court there after the Islamic de-facto takeover of power by “jihadist” Prime Minister Erdogan. Erdegan has pre-emptively arrested many of the top military leaders who have traditionally backed the secular government that was set up Kamal Attaturk nearly a century ago.
Based in Philadelphia, Gulen has set up Islamic Shariah schools North to Soouth from coast to coast, where they also preach Islamic sedition “as Allah has decreed”.
You can read detailed analysis of this in the comment above and have the ammunition to confront Dhimmi apologists for Obama’s bias toward promoting everything Moslem and the danger America and the West faces.
Compared to Gulen, who has about two million followers inside Turkey, the Ismaili leader Karim Agha Khan is a gentle little kitten.
Of course you don’t. You never do. But quotes out of context is as good as a lie. You DO know that.
How much do you know about aga khan? Do you know that he is worshipped as a deity? That his followers pray to him or a picture of him? That his mosques in pakistan were ruled by the Pakistani high court as Houses of Aga Khan as differentiated by Houses of Allah? That he has never once worshipped with his own followers but is a practicing sunni?
And, yes, gulen is as dangerous.
Palin is and is and typical of what passes for ignorant politicians in our party. Trying ohso hard not to offend muslims with the idiotic statement that there is a small minority of muslims that want us dead. That’s like saying that all most communists are not socialists and only a small minority want socialism. Or to take the logic even further that there were moderate nazis during WW II that we could have approached. It ignores that the problem with islam is the ideology of islam itself. Pretending that the doctrine is not the problem is simply continuing to commit suicide..
The daughter of a formerly close friend is married to one of the sons and lives in Switzerland. Her sister lives in the USA. I have lost touch but can restore ties at will. No motivation to do so.
Used to know everything about them but memory fades.
Keep reading, Casique. Charles is NOT the last word on this.
A pretty good description of LibTurd Democrats as well.
I believe you are right because Sarah would pop their little bubbles with straight forward blunt honesty and liberals do not take that very well.
