Arabic schools gain foothold in the region

I think it will be a very big surprise just how many Arabic language-themed schools are actually in existence right now all over parts of the country where there are large enough Muslim populations to support then.

I know of two in the Tampa, Fl area that opened this year.

These are private institutions, not publicly funded.

[Popman]

There should be no moral gap that encourages these foreign schools to form up.

I think you are missing the point

The moral gap is an easy excuse to form these schools, there WILL ALWAYS be a reason why the public school institutions are not good enough unless of course they start teaching Sharia law and embrace Islam fully

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

Yeah, he just wants a school that really screws with gender ratios
by saying one man can have four wives...leaving three men so sexually
frustrated they'll even consider suicide-bomber as a good job description.

“Don’t let these schools into the USA — They are terrorist training academies.”

For whatever reason, our government takes no issue with the Saudis working to subvert this nation.

Heck, the President holds hands with them and celebrates Eid in the White House.

[Infidel1571]

“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.”

Islamic morality makes the worst examples of our popular culture seem Victorian.

Saudi-funded Propaganda Arabic Schools gain foothold in the region.

There.
Fixed it.

I think it will be a very big surprise just how many Arabic language-themed schools are actually in existence right now all over parts of the country where there are large enough Muslim populations to support them.

Since all of these schools are funded by Saudi money (our oil dollars at work)
It doesn't matter if there are "large enough populations" to support them.
The Saudis support them.
The plan, of course, is that eventually there will be a big enough fifth column to fill them all...

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.

Can you imagine the uproar among the educational elite if someone wanted to open a charter school that taught Christianity, since it exudes the moral character dear to the culture of so many parents?

[Popman]

...all over parts of the country where there are large enough Muslim populations to support them.

Basically, I was talking about a big enough student population to support a school, not necessarily the dollars

You're spot on about the fifth column

[Publius6961]

Basically, I was talking about a big enough student population to support a school, not necessarily the dollars

And my point is that it is irrelevant, in a real world sense. Two or three students per school is all they need while they wait.

One of the world’s most respected Deobandi scholars believes that aggressive military jihad should be waged by Muslims “to establish the supremacy of Islam” worldwide. Justice Muhammad Taqi Usmani argues that Muslims should live peacefully in countries such as Britain, where they have the freedom to practise Islam, only until they gain enough power to engage in battle.
His views explode the myth that the creed of offensive, expansionist jihad represents a distortion of traditional Islamic thinking. Mr Usmani, 64, sat for 20 years as a Sharia judge in Pakistan’s Supreme Court. He is an adviser to several global financial institutions and a regular visitor to Britain…
Mr Usmani’s justification for aggressive military jihad as a means of establishing global Islamic supremacy is revealed at the climax of his book, Islam and Modernism. ---Times Online, Sept 8, 2007

WTF?...this is the first I heard of it...and I live here...

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

“moral values dear to his culture”
slicing Jewish heads off Jewish bodies while singing songs dear to their culture and making videos of the blood spurting to distribute to others who love their culture.

Mr. Shalabi has absolulety no business being in my country. He needs to go back to Saudi Arabia if he wants his kids to be Arabic. And this just magnifies the type of immigrants that are coming here today. While I am sure there are some that are grateful to be here I’m willing to bet alot of them think like this POS.

[dennisw]

So where is that Muslim school?

[buccaneer81]

Already long established in Hilliard since at least 1999; Sunrise Academy on Scioto-Darby Rd.

[Clintonfatigued]

It’s not just in New York anymore.

Just think, your kids can also be taught about Muslim life, including suicide bombing, public beheading, hostage taking, slavery, honor killing, forcibly arranged marriage, rape, nihilism, and use of livestock to relieve sexual urges.

How’s that for a reason to homeschool?

Thanks for the ping....I’m not too surprised. I just moved from Toledo, lived about a mile from this place, both of my physicians were ‘members’ here...see the photo.

“The Islamic Center of Greater Toledo is one of the largest mosques in North America. It is dedicated to serve for the betterment of the Muslim community and the establishment of strong ties with the community at large.
