PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Mounting pressures from Muslim parents in the region have prompted the Muslim Educational Trust to open the new coeducational Oregon Islamic Academy - the first high school in the Northwest geared to Muslim students.
Syed Ahmad was one of those parents. He told Wajdi Said, the trust's executive director, that he moved his family from Texas to Oregon for work and they lived in Tigard to be close to the Muslim Educational Trust's prekindergarten to eighth grade Islamic School. But he told Wajdi that he'd take his family back to Texas to attend an Islamic high school unless one opened here.
The academy's mission is "to shape the minds and hearts of its students according to the teachings of the Holy Quran and the traditions of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH)," the parenthetical phrase an abbreviation for "Praise Be Unto Him."
Said explained that will come in rigorous classes of math, science, history, language arts, Arabic and other courses to prepare students to excel in college as inquisitive learners, and caring and moral adults who are proud of their Islamic beliefs.
"Hopefully they will be part of the success of America in the 21st century," he said.
The educational trust's school has 20 preschoolers. There are 89 K-8 students and a waiting list of 260.
Projections, according to Said, show the high school will open with six freshmen in September. School officials plan to grow to a ninth-12th grade program and add three buildings, including a computer science laboratory. Boys and girls will attend class together, and girls will have the option of wearing the hijab head covering.
The school will be open to students of any faith, Said explained, and all will study comparative religions so they can be leaders in the nation's pluralistic society.

Teach them while they're young the precepts of "The Religion of Peace."
Co-educational?
Koran and beheading?
If they want to educate their offspring then I suggest that THEY MOVE BACK TO A MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRY.
I AM SICK, SICK, SICK OF BENDING OVER FOR THESE TERRORISTS!!!!
IF AND WHEN THEY START SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THEIR VIOLENT BREATHREN THEN MAYBE I WILL GIVE THEM A BREAK!
UNTIL THAT TIME THEY CAN GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What say you Oregonians?
Co-ed? Just to get started. Give it some time and they will have separate buildings for male and female students, and the girls will have burkas.
Heard a discussion on Fox this morning that the Iranians had pardoned six who had executed fellow countrymen/women for violations of Islamic law, including a young engaged couple who had committed the capital crime of holding hands in public and being caught at it.
Imagine if we had a school decided to open teaching Nazism during WWII?
Would we have allowed it?
We have become soft and weak.
They will win because we never came to the fight.
Yep
a. They'll discriminate and not let Christian students enroll, and...
b. If they do, they will provide a prayer room for Christian students

We could fight the teachers unions and call them RACIST HATE MONGERING BIGOTS for not letting us have our tax credits to pay for our schools.
Would be interesting (tongue somewhat into cheek)
As long as it’s privately funded it’s fine.
oh but your wrong, see post #13. it’s “fine”.
Muhammad owned and trafficed in slaves. Jesus did not.
Muhammad married a 6-year-old girl. Jesus did not.
Muhammad owned concubines. Jesus did not.
Muhammad had his enemies executed. Jesus did not.
Muhammad waged war for land and spoils. Jesus did not.
This seems like a molehill being made into a mountain. The school isn’t some Wahhabi madrassa. If they’re holding mixed classes, they certainly aren’t fundamentalists. I’m not crazy about the idea, but I don’t see any real harm as long as they’re not being funded by the state.
There was recently a kid at VA Tech that privatly funded his own little “project.” How “fine” was that I wonder...
“The academy’s mission is “to shape the minds and hearts of its students according to the teachings of the Holy Quran and the traditions of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH),”
That means to HATE Jews and Christians and all other religions and to place the women in slavery. Or did I read the Religion of Peace wrong? Just this morning the Florida Today Newspaper ran an article that said the FBI and other federal and local law enforcement agencies were attending a meeting to focus on HATE Crimes and of course the greatest HATE Crime is to say anything about a Muslim. Also speaking at the meeting was, according to Florida Today, Rabbi Fred Natkin from Congregation M’ateh Chiam of Palm Bay and Donald Luszczewski of the Elysium Church of Melbourne. Neither of which I know or am aware of as being real Jews or Christians, but of course I may be wrong.
“Hopefully they will be part of the success of America in the 21st century,” he said.
From this article and the others I have read today and in the last weeks it would seem that Sharia Law is next on the agenda to be put on us as the Supreme Law of the land.
We the People of this great Nation are being prepared for our placement under the Yoke of Islam.
Glory, Glory to the US Senate and House as they prepare the way for the New Sharia Law Government.

Any bells ringing for you yet?
