Why Jonny Is Reading Islamist Propoganda
American Congress For Truth ^ | 10/29/06 | American Congress For Truth

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

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.

William J. Bennetta, author of The Textbook Letter and a fellow of the California Academy of Sciences, also has documented dozens of instances of advocacy for or against a belief system, and has produced a list of books where the religion preaching leaves them unfit for use.

WND recently reported on a case in Oregon, where parent Kendalee Garner objected to having her son being taught Islam, including the memorization of the Five Pillars of Islam and dressing up as a Muslim.

That episode followed a U.S. Supreme Court decision just a few weeks ago not to review a lower court’s ruling that a similar class requirement in the Byron Union School District in California, where students were instructed to become Muslims was cultural education.

WND also has reported that a man arrested as a terror suspect for allegedly trying to transport $340,000 from a group tied to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, and who reputedly had connections to Osama bin Laden, helped write the Religious Expression in Public Schools guidelines issued by President Clinton during his tenure in office.

Abdurahman Alamoudi, who was president of the American Muslim Council and a supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah, worked with President Clinton and the American Civil Liberties Union when the guidelines, guidelines later used by a federal judge to conclude such teaching was legal, were compiled.

In the California case that was litigated, Edward White III, of the Thomas More Law Center wondered, Would it have been ‘just cultural education’ if students were in simulated baptisms, wearing a crucifix, having taken the name of St. John and with praise banners saying ‘Praise be to Jesus Christ’ on classroom walls?

From Nyssa, Ore., where one parent raised objections to the Islamic teachings, Supt. Don Grotting, said the text includes assignments for students to learn the Five Pillars and study Ramadan.

Today, Christmas and Nativity scenes are outlawed while Clinton’s nominee, U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton, recently approved ‘Islam: A Simulation’ where children learn to become Muslim, recite the Quran, fast for Ramadan and pray to Allah including this prayer: ‘In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of Creation, The Compassionate, the Merciful, King of Judgment-day! You alone we worship, and to You alone we pray for help, Guide us to the straight path,’ wrote Jen Shroder, on her BlessedCause.org website.

"" From Nyssa, Ore., where one parent raised objections to the Islamic teachings, Supt. Don Grotting, said the text includes assignments for students to learn the Five Pillars and study Ramadan. ""

Like the parent in Oregon, I'm sure most American's (excluding muslims), do NOT want their children being taught Ramadan, which is part of the so called religion of islam - in the public schools or any where else for that matter.

""Abdurahman Alamoudi, who was president of the American Muslim Council and a supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah, worked with President Clinton and the American Civil Liberties Union when the guidelines, guidelines later used by a federal judge to conclude such teaching was legal, were compiled.""

According the above quote, a supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah, which are both considered to be terrorist groups, worked on this lunacy. Have our officials gone mad??

Thanks for posting this information. Unbelievable.

The battle cry of Islam:

'Every temple of worship, a mosque. Every school, a madrassa.'
