This was probably an extension lesson from Channel One News. I am appalled at what airs on this mandatory news program that is pumped into govt. school classrooms across America. I complained (to no avail) after this aired in May as part of a week long segment on Islam, the religion of peace:

I countered with my own lesson on Sharia law so that my students could make their own decisions about the definition of “peaceful religion.”
One has to use a little subterfuge.
Islamic marketing is going to be increasingly common. (See CSCOPE in Texas.)
I’d like to suggest a simple way to deal with this. Insist that all religions be treated equally, thus no more space or time to Islam than to Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, etc,
That’s fair, and consistent with all ACLU lawsuits.
