Georgia Schools Are Teaching Kids "Allah Is the Same God Worshipped By Jews and Christians"

 There’s nothing necessarily wrong with children learning about Islam. But learning about Islam to the exclusion of Christianity, and that Allah is the same God worshipped by Jews and Christians, has a lot of parents angry.

Several Walton County parents say their children are being forced to learn about Islam, and want the option to exclude their children from these lessons.

The teaching of Islam has banded together a group of upset parents.

“My daughter had to learn the Shiad, and the five pillars of Islam, which is what you learn to convert, but they never once learned anything about the Ten Commandments or anything about God,” said parent Michelle King.

Parent Steven Alsup says what caught his attention was a statement on his child’s homework: “Allah is the same God worshipped by Jews and Christians.”

Alsup calls the statement a half-truth, and wants the lesson to include Islamists.

Allah is most definitely not the same God worshipped by Jews and Christians. And considering the violence and hatred towards Jews that many Muslims perpetrate, it’s especially insulting to say so.

Obama made funds available for Allah to be taught in the public schools.

But, he never made funds available for Christianity to be taught in the public schools.

The world has gone crazy. Our forefathers must be spinning in their graves!

American, the greatest country ever on this planet, was founded on the principals of Christian and Jews.

“...monotheistic religions by definition are worshipping the same God...”

What? How do you arrive at that?

So the liberals are hiding this like common core figuring it would be too late to change.

There is no Allah but Satan, and Muhammad was his murdering pedophile.

When I was in high school, I think we studied Muslims (back then they were “Moslems”) in the early 70’s.

When I started high school in the late 1950s (class of '61) they were called Mohammadans and we were taught that they spread their faith by the sword, but were eventually evicted by the sword.

Now, why would god not want his true name to be known?

Because Satan wouldn't go over so well?

If in fact separation of church and state is the justification of removing religion from public schools why is the Muslim religion exempt from this standing?

Because Christians, Jews, Buddhists, even Pagans will only complain about the unfairness. Muslims will kill you if they get the opportunity.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
