Muhammad was a pedophile who married his wife when she was six and consummated their relationship when she was nine. Yet the NY Times recommends his teachings for children's reading. Very Michael Jackson of the NY Times.

NOT in my house. This is getting ridiculous.

Children's Books: Introducing Young Readers to Islam

How do the children's artists portray this in the books exactly?

[Puppage]

But the common American perception of overseas Muslims as violent hotheads is the complete opposite of the warmth and hospitality one mostly finds traveling in places like Yemen, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia

WTF? One mostly finds? Hospitality? And, these "writers" vote democrat...go figure. And, YES Hitlery..I DO question your patriotism when you & your ilk write/say crap like this.

[New Horizon]

And I learned how to make a brick and build a dome, and also a good deal about the economics of the Ottoman Empire and the role of the mosque in society.

I'd prefer an alternative book, "Turn a Mosque to Mist with a MOAB".

[Coroner]

Ask the Imam; What if these kids dont want to read about islam? Should we threaten them with death?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

For example, Demi recounts as fact that Muhammad was visited by the angel Gabriel during Ramadan in 610, and then under divine inspiration began to recite the Koran. Sure, Muslims believe that, but I felt funny reading this aloud -- as historic fact -- to my 6-year-old daughter.

Felt funny? Why on earth would someone present something as historic fact to their child if they did not believe it to be so?

David Macaulay is renowned for spectacular children's books with an architectural flavor, among them ''Cathedral'' and ''Pyramid.'' ''Mosque'' is a superbly illustrated and technically engrossing explanation of how a great Turkish mosque complex would be built in about 1600

I wonder if the sequel will be about demonstrating the complexities of turning Cathedrals into mosques, such as Turkey's great blue mosque, formerly the beautiful Orthodox Church of St. Sophia.

And perhaps future plans on 'remodeling' some of France's (where they already have such a stronghold) beautiful Cathedrals.

Journalists cannot write well. He introduces a new name without including a surname. Is he referring to Dummi Demi Moore? Whom? Anyway, the left loves any religion, food, experience, movie, government...etc that is NOT their own.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

''People accepted Islam because Muhammad taught God's words that said that all men and women, black and white, rich and poor, must be treated with dignity and respect.''

Uh huh, and how did Muhammad teach that infidels must be treated?

No child is too young to become a cosmopolitan multiculturalist.

The goal of international socialists everywhere!

[Redcoat LI]

This takes me back,as a child my two favorite books were "Uncle Joe builds a Gulag" and "Chairman Mao's big little red book for children"

[Prodigal Son]

Is it going to be in the Fun with Dick and Jane type format?

See Mohammed.

See Mohammed bomb infidels.

Bomb, Mohammded, bomb.

I will tell my kids that Islam is the religion of peace, and then show them pictures of the planes going into the WTC, and let them decide.

Ha ha ha ha - Islam is a pitiful joke!

But the common American perception of overseas Muslims as violent hotheads is the complete opposite of the warmth and hospitality one mostly finds traveling in places like Yemen, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia.

These people are very hospitable. It's in their culture,... as long as you are in basic agreement with them.

However, bring up to them their need for Jesus and you'll find yourself running for your life, with them in close pursuit. If you find yourself in any of the aforementioned "hospitable" countries, you'll be lucky if all they do is toss you in jail and and throw away the key!

[zerosix]

Perfect role model for Michael Jackson!

[realpatriot]

''Because of the dome's hemispherical shape, there are hidden forces within it trying to push the sides outward. While piers and arches could easily be designed to support the great weight of a masonry dome, they could not, on their own, counteract its self-destructive tendencies.''

islam is the dome, the rest of the world, the support.

[tbpiper]

If I had young childeren, I would teach them about Islam....the same way I would teach them about snakes and poision and stray dogs in the neighborhood.

[quadrant]

Is this book is being used in public schools?

[gitmogrunt]

Mohammedism, Communism, and Liberalism happy in bed together.
