Muslims claim curriculum on Islam is inaccurate ["Disrespectful to Mohammed"]

Some Muslims in Baltimore County say lessons involving Islam being taught to seventh- and 10th-graders in public schools are inaccurate.

Bash Pharoan, president of the Baltimore chapter of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, says resource sheets, called "Islamic Life," given to seventh-graders studying world cultures and "World Religions" for 10th-graders in world history classes, not only misrepresent Islam, but show disrespect to the prophet Muhammad.

For three years, Pharoan says, he has unsuccessfully petitioned the Baltimore County school board to review the way Islam is presented in public school classrooms.

Joe Hairston, county school superintendent, said his "teachers do not use materials that contain inaccurate information."

Pharoan disagrees, saying the resource sheet on Islam belittles the prophet by referring to him only as "Muhammad."

"We always say 'Prophet Muhammad,' " Pharoan said. "Omitting the word 'prophet' is disrespectful."

Hopefully, the local Christians will file a claim IMMEDIATELY afterward if this gets any traction at all.

Wonder if they teach about how old MO was a slave master, rapist, murderer, thief and pedophile?

And any muslim saying "Jesus Christ" without saying "Our Lord and Savior" is being very disrespectful...

Yes, give an accurate depiction. Planes into buildings that kill 3000 people. Bombing trains in Madrid. Bombing subway cars in London, chopping thousands of heads off. Be sure to include those things, cuz you want to be accurate.

I personally attended Baltimore county public schools. It was overwhelmingly biased towards islam. My oldest son confirms to me that it still is biased.

Isn't including 'prophet' in a public school mixing church and state? Maybe CAIR and the ACLU can have a no holds barred cage match over this. (Yes, I know it won't happen, but I can still dream about it.)

Here's a suggestion for a 'respectful' way to refer to him:"mohamedans worship a syphilitic pedophile as a prophet of God. This prophet tells them to kill or enslave everyone who isn't a mohamedan."

It's accurate and it conveys the respect that spawn of hell deserves.

There will be no end of this if the folks in Baltimore give an inch.

Mo is respected quite enough simply by being mentioned.

So is omitting the PBUH or whatever it is in Arabic. Bash Pharoan indeed.

Hey Pharoan, just be thankful the word 'Muhammad' isn't preceeded by 'camel humper' or 'pedophile'.

This is like complaining that that history lessons are inaccurate about National Socialism and disrespectful to Hitler.

I agree. It should be, "That lousy murderous muhammad".
