"An example is the study of world history, including European and American history. [Everything] but Islamic history has been eliminated from the history lessons at all levels of state education... even though Saudi Arabia is part of the world and has contacts with [other countries]...
"Why prevent pupils from learning world history, and especially European and American history? What is the educational goal behind this [policy]? After all, the most fundamental principle of education and of formulating curricula is to enrich the pupils' knowledge as much as possible... The decision to avoid the study of world history will only leave the pupil in a state of ignorance regarding the world, and will deprive him of the possibility of becoming familiar with the world and of coping with it....
What is there to say other than frightening. Sort of like the Communists in the Soviet Union banning teaching of American History, though I think they taught selected portions to show how capitalism was responsible for enslaving the worker masses.
