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."

Lib teacher(s). The guy used to rant about how 'filthy' toilet paper was and that middle easterners 'cleansed' themselves with water instead of smearing with paper.
I hope you never shook your teacher's hand.

Maybe CAIR and the ACLU can have a no holds barred cage match over this. Won't be much of a match. CAIR's scimitars trump any of ACLU's lawbooks...

Oh, bother!
Mad Mo the Pedophile wasn't a prophet. He was a delusional madman.
Calling Mad Mo a 'prophet' is an insult to Moses, Jeremiah, Isaiah ... John.

Yeah, what of it, Mr. Pharoan. Indians all live in teepees, are suddenly called 'Native Americans' to make the other '* Americans' feel better, and we're worshiping rodents.
Meanwhile, dare we bring up the word Christ in school, we're tossed out on our rumps. Shut up, sit down, and embrace the multicultural world you're forcing on the rest of us. No one really, honestly, gives a rip about learning about your cults, and if you're upset that they're not pushing your propaganda right, well, join the Wiccans and the rest in feeling grumpy.

Guess what, bozo, he's not MY prophet and I don't call him "Prophet Muhammad"...... I can think of plenty of foul names to call him, but let's compromise and say non-Muslims can simply refer to him as Muhammad...... if you don't like it, tough.

"We always say 'Prophet Muhammad,' " Pharoan said. "Omitting the word 'prophet' is disrespectful." Pedophile, rapist, thieve and murderer Muhammad is more accurate, who gives a $%&^*$ if respectful or not.

Well, you beat me to it. I concur. LOL! Maybe the "crazed rantings of a warlord/pedpohile". I suscribe to the theory the this camel-thief was never in Jerusalem and therefore the "mosque" there is offensive and should be removed.

OK. And from now on all references to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ must contain the words "Our Lord and Savior". Works for me.

"Joe Hairston, county school superintendent, said his "teachers do not use materials that contain inaccurate information."
Mr Hairston is absolutely right...the phrase is accurate. The problem is, it's incomplete. It should read, "murderous, slave-taking, nine-year-old-girl-marrying Muhammed." The use of the 'prophet' adjective is entirely gratuitous.

How can the left tolerate that? And besides, a formalized way of referring to a person seems to me like it goes beyond respect to actually engaging in worship.
