ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Islam is being taught in the nation's public schools as a religion to be embraced because "organized Islamists have gained control of textbook content," according to an organization that analyzes textbooks.

The American Textbook Council has concluded that the situation is the consequence of "the interplay of determined Islamic political activists, textbook editors, and multiculturally minded social studies curriculum planners."

It has gone so far that correcting the situation now becomes a problem, because "educational publishers and educational organizations have bought into claims propounded by Islamists – and have themselves become agents of misinformation."

That comes from Gilbert T. Sewall, who not only wrote the organization's report on Islam and textbooks, but also generated a response to the flood of criticism he encountered."

"Terrorism 'biggest threat to EU'"


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Terrorism is the "biggest threat to all European nations," Home Secretary John Reid has said as he discusses ways to boost security with five EU ministers.

The members of the G6, meeting in the UK, were addressed by the head of Britain's security service MI5.

Mr Reid said the threat came "particularly from those who would through a perverted use of Islam constitute a terrorist threat"."
