The school should not have supplied racist textbooks.

Israel is one of a few democracies in north Africa and the Middle East today Probably just upset that Iraq was left of that list.

I gotta admit the Dubai public relations guys use sawed off shotguns, much easier to shoot themselves in the foot.

Yes but it's entertaining that this is the level of stuff Googling comes up with.

They just lost the port deal Has no bearing on that, though textbooks used in wahabbi schools in the US is something we should look at.

"Israel is one of a few democracies in north Africa and the Middle East today; the country of Syria has sponsored terrorism by giving aid to radicals in the Palestine Liberation Organisation", excerpts from the book read. Didn't Palestine just have an election?

Yes but it's entertaining that this is the level of stuff Googling comes up with. That's how the Google family got rich!

This "Cultures" Book Is Bogus and Useless Sara Thompson
Silver Burdett Ginn's World Cultures is a fake. Despite its title, it makes no effort to examine and compare cultures.
This book seems to have been cobbled together from pieces of old geography texts and world-history texts. It presents a whirlwind tour across continents and time, with only the most superficial glimpses at peoples or events. The West receives more elaborate treatment than do the other parts of the world -- but in the end, no peoples or historical periods stand out from the general blur.
World Cultures has a 1995 copyright, but it already is long out- of-date. In this book, Nelson Mandela has not yet become the head of state in South Africa. Japan is still enjoying its "economic miracle" of the 1980s. Cuba is in good condition, and "poverty has been largely eliminated"; apparently, the Soviet Union's aid to Cuba hasn't yet come to an end. But the Soviet Union itself apparently has come to an end and has changed into Russia. The Silver Burdett Ginn writers continually call Russia "the former Soviet Union," sometimes to hilarious effect (as we shall see).

Yo know, I heard that the guy on the grassy knoll was from the UAE and he was the same guy who was responsible for fluoride in water.
Before he died, he consulted with Halliburton on the hurricane machine that caused hurricane Katrina. He might have been responsible for the Roswell incident as well.

If you tell the truth about the lie that imprisons the members of a death cult, they will call you a racist.
I guess they have the moral high ground on this issue, right?
