Arabic schools gain foothold in the region

New charter academies in Toledo among 7 run by southeast Michigan firm:

After Mohammad Al-Shammar moved to the Toledo area, he began looking to place his daughter in the right school.

"I want a school that isn't going to teach her how to have a boyfriend," the Saudi Arabian and Muslim said.

What he found was a new charter school in West Toledo that he said provided "the perfect environment" - one that exudes some of the moral values dear to his culture.

With very little attention and almost no advertising, what is believed to be Ohio's first publicly funded Arabic language-themed schools opened on Secor Road last month.

That would be what he wants for his son.

No public funds should go to any school that doesn't teach primarily in English. They can teach other languages, but instruction in reading, math, etc, should be in English.

How quaint. And how disgusting that the United States can continue in a post 9/11 world to facilitate this "us versus them" dichotomy preached by these reprobates.

And the United States wonders how these people can continue to have a dangerous propensity for self-radicalization.

It's not just an American boyfriend that the father does not want her to have. It is American culture that they hate.

DEPORT THEM AND DO IT QUICKLY WITHOUT DELAY.

An American Expat in Southeast Asia

“In the public schools, they expect every child to be in this melting pot, or what I call a mixed salad, with no identity of their country,” Mr. Shalabi said.

“their country”.....America is their country now.

It is worse - it is like establishing 10,000 madrassahs in the US

Once Moslem chic hits the West and the mass conversions to Islam take place there will be a lot of these schools. Never underestimate the triviality of the current Western popular culture and its “leaders!”

Teaching that Jews and Christians are "monkeys and pigs?" Teaching that Sharia law should one day replace the U.S. Constitution? Learning to be offended by anything and everything except violence against innocents? Fatwas and Jihad 101?

A Saudi Arabian funded school was opened about five years ago near our home in Thailand (yes! Thailand?) where some 4 % of the people are Muslim. An immediate change in Muslim young people was noticeable in terms of hostility. Such schools have been in the South of Thailand and most believe they are behind much of the increased violence there. There had been some violence from Islamist separatist groups which mostly consisted of setting fires to government schools at night and an occasional bomb at a Buddhist temple -- not targeted at people. Now, of course, the South has an extremely violent and deadly insurgency with 2 to 5 killed daily. The beheading of Buddhists and the murder of "cooperative" Muslims is commonplace.

Don't let these schools into the USA -- They are terrorist training academies.

We continue to embrace the snake.

I must say however, that I share much of their contempt for what passes for public education in our country. Our own public schools seem to be little more than marxist madrassas.

Admit that the public schools have gone too far down the wrong path. There should be no moral gap that encourages these foreign schools to form up.

We make it clear to parents that this is only teaching culture

That statement right there should make the school illegal and identify it as an enemy of the state.

We need to establish an alternative to “Public Schools”. It seems any group can get funding to compete with public education, why not conservative American groups.
It would make sense to grab the government funds for the good of America and deprive these special groups unlimited funding.

THE TREND is clear: Pre-collegiate Arabic language instruction, even when taxpayer-funded, tends to bring along indoctrination in pan-Arab nationalism, radical Islam, or both. Note some examples:

Charter School says it all.
These Charter Cchools are the new Madrasa schools.
Eight years ago my best friend was disappointed in his local school system and the poor quality of liberal inspiration that was passing for education. He and a small group of other parents decided to start a charter school. It took two years of red tape before they were given the “go-ahead”. K-Mart donated a building for them, they recruited an army of volunteers to renovate the building and make it into classrooms and offices. Finally they hired teachers, a few administrators and a maintenance staff and that fall the school opened with about 80 or so students. The following year the student population swelled to about 125 as the local Muslims enrolled their chldren. During that year the parents of the Muslim students joined the PTA and became active in the school. The following year 3 muslims got on the board of directors and began adding Islamic teachers. The board grew and the non-muslims began to leave. In the fifth year, the board of directors was all muslim except for my best friend. That fall they voted him out (fired him) and then fired all non-muslim teachers and staff and replaced them with muslims. The charter school is now all muslim, its founder gone, and his grandchildren back in the local school system. The charter school is now effectively an al-Madrasah School teaching the students to all be good little Jihadis.
It is any wonder they have these strange rituals and rites of passage.
