The "Intifada" Comes To New York City

What are we to make of a story in the New York Post about the ties between the principal of New York City's new "Arabic-themed" public school, which opens this fall in Brooklyn for grades 6-12, and an organization called Arab Women Active in Art and Media, which is selling t-shirts emblazoned with the message "Intifada NYC"?

several stories on this lunacy

Mayor Bloomberg says not to worry about all this.

That muslims and America are not compatible?

Mayor Bloomberg says not to worry about all this.

Oh, well that's good enough for me. /sarc

Big Bump.

I am sure if the Judeo-Christian Women in Art and Media were selling T-shirts that said “Intifada Ragheads”, Nanny Bloomberg would think that a hateful satement and a call to violence. Liberals - who used to love freedom of expression and American values - now can only promote hatred of Americans, dissolution of their values and acceptance of those who would do us harm.

Yes. He’s busy getting the guns out of American’s hands.

Page 8 of the school’s Executive Summary says this:

“In addition, ITS will sponsor teacher professional development workshops in ....Islam...”

Quite clear, really. Also, the taxpayer funded school will provide halal meals, boasts a close partnership with the American Muslim Association of Lawyers and will promote the school to “faith-based organizations” for recruitment.

I got a problem with this....

An Intifada in the US would be short lived. Real Americans are fed up with this crap and are waiting for a reason to protect themselves THEIR own way.

I have a big problem with this...and so should the Loony Libs if they have any principles at all (big if considering their hypocrisy over just about everything).

I pay a huge amount in property taxes for a local public school that my kids don't even use. This is such crap! I'm sure the ACLU will be all over it/s.

Our own PC madness will be our downfall.

Mainstream Islam can not coexist with the U.S. non-Muslim population. They are demanding foot baths in public buildings and segregated public restrooms. The “flying Imams” are using the courts to weaken U.S. airport security. They know they can’t win by force so they are using the courts, the news media, corrupt lawyers and politicians to gain more and more power.

[RC2]

How about “Intifada ISLAM”?

[Shady]

How about an Anglican Themed High School?
Yea right. Slammer.

[nyyankeefan]

why again...do american taxpayers have to fund these f’n muzzie schools?????

[Continental Soldier]

America, wake up before it’s too late!

[3AngelaD]

All red-blooded American men should be peeing in those foot baths whenever they come across them in a public place. I am still waiting for the Holy Water fonts in airports. Probably not gonna happen, though.

I’d like to know more about this “Arab-themed” school, e.g., (1) Who will the teachers be?; (2) Will religion (Islam) be taught?; and (3) Who will have control of the curriculum? If the answer to #2 is “yes,” how is this allowed? Where is the ACLU?
