Sharia in the schools: Monitoring the American madrassa

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 11, 2008 09:56 AM
Katharine Kersten’s excellent investigative work on the Minnesota taxpayer-funded Islamic school, TIZA, has led to a state probe of the institution. It has also shed light again on the spread of sharia in U.S. secondary public schools.

You’ll remember the heated battle in San Diego over Muslim prayers in a public charter school.

You may recall the jihadi crossword puzzle discovered by parents in Johnston County, NC.

In Contra Costa (CA) County, school officials allowed Islam indoctrination lessons that subjected public school students to prayer recitation sessions and Muslim re-naming. Remember?

And in Brooklyn , the fight continues over the Arabic-themed Khalil Gibran International Academy.

The grass-roots group, Stop the Madrassa, continues to press for transparency–and continues to get stonewalled by educrats:

After four separate Freedom of Information Law requests and four court hearings, the Department of Education has not responded to our demands for complete transparency. The reason for KGIA’s existence is to teach the Arabic language and Arabic Culture; however, the curricula and textbooks have not been revealed. As we pursue the truth, everyone continues to wonder exactly what is being taught in the Khalil Gibran International Academy. Are they learning that Muslims discovered America? If so, why? The answer is that if the Islamists can establish their presence as the original inhabitants of North America then the land becomes part of the Ummah, the Islamic lands. The caliphate now extends to the United States.

Ed Lasky at The American Thinker exposed this curricular sharia creep several years ago:

A Native American tribe has forced distributors of an Arab studies guide for American teachers to remove an inaccurate and absurd passage that Muslim explorers preceded Columbus to North America, and eventually became Algonquin chiefs named Abdul—Rahim and Abdallah Ibn Malik!

The Middle East Policy Council, a Washington advocacy group that promotes this curriculum to school districts in 155 U.S. cities have apparently been somewhat unresponsive and dismissive of complaints. Ridiculous as this example is, it is illustrative of a far more disturbing development: the placement of propaganda in our schools by Muslim extremist groups. As the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation pointed out in a report …titled, “The Stealth Curriculum:Manipulating America’s History Teachers” these efforts are intended “to use America’s public school classrooms to shape the minds of tomorrow’s citizens by manipulating what today’s teachers introducing into the lessons of today’s children”

The American Textbook Council has played a leading role in resisting Arab efforts to supply propaganda to our schools, and recently published a report, “Islam and the Textbooks”, by Gilbert T. Sewall, which reports this phenomenon. It can be found here.

These militants and their supporters have set their eyes on our children, and are attempting to brainwash them by supplying free textbooks which whitewash the truth regarding Muslim extremism, while promoting Arab and Palestinian political goals. These “teaching materials” also impugn and devalue America, Western nations, Israel. Judaism, and Christianity. The article, ‘Textbooks for Jihad,’ found here is a good analysis of these developments .

The Council on American—Islamic Relations, some of whose members have been “outed” as terror supporters, has an active program to supply these this type of propaganda to libraries across the nation. Naturally, like schools, the librarians are more than happy to accept inexpensive, or free, material to fill their shelves. Yet these same books and audio—visual material are filling our children’s minds with lies that are tantamount to propaganda that teach hate. Efforts should be made by local activists and PTA or PTO members to scrutinize the reading lists at our “educational” institutions.

The political and education establishments–see, for example, NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg and NYC chancellor Joel Klein–persist in labeling critics “bigots.”

They’re looking out for CAIR.

Who’s looking out for your children?

Why, in God’s name, do these schools not require our students to learn the same about the Christian religion? I believe it is called separation of church and state......

If politics is “war by other means”, what happens when politics fails?

"We don’t stand a chance."

"America is doomed..."

Yes we do stand a chance and America is not doomed. These two statements will become true only if parents sit back and allow this to happen. Children are very impressionable and can easily be manipulated. Parents must assure that their "manipulation" is based in truth, reason and logic and the children will follow.

The multicultural idiots in our public school systems will stop at nothing to be politically correct, no matter how wrong it makes them or how dangerous the poison they spread. But, they can’t be blamed, ...not entirely. We play PC games when it comes to identifying Islam as evil. It’s like telling Satan his demons are cool, as long as we only get the ones we want, and then expecting him to respect our wishes. There is no such thing as a little bit of the right kind of Islam.

Keep a sharp eye out for kids drawing crosses and using Christian terms in their writings. Those are the ones you need to watch. If you don’t, you may be overrun by fundamentalists.

Moslems, however, are peaceful...

“These militants and their supporters have set their eyes on our children.”

They have a long and proud tradition of  indoctrinating children and turning them into mindless, resolute weapons.  The notion of limiting their psychoses to their own offspring would apparently be far too much for us to ask of them

Because Christians won't sue the school districts or threaten to blow up the buildings.

It feels like the 1920's and the 1930's when some refused to take the cancerous encroachment of Nazism seriously.

There are no c&s separation issues here. This is because the states have the 10th A. power to address religious issues.

The problem with the school in question is that state lawmakers have never gotten their acts together with respect to making tax laws that compliment our basic freedoms, particularly our religious freedoms. Jefferson reflected on things like unfair taxes when he wrote the following.

"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical." --Thomas Jefferson: Bill for Religious Freedom, 1779. Papers 2:545 http://www.religioustolerance.org/virg_bil.htm
So while it is wrong to expect Christians taxpayers, for example, to help pay for this Islamic school, and vise-versa, if state lawmakers had heeded Jefferson's words, only Christian taxpayers would be paying expenses for Christian public schools, for example, likewise Islamic taxpayers for Islamic public schools.

The truth of the matter is that in the 1830s Protestant lawmakers made what were known as Blaine laws, tax related laws which were actually used to discourage the teaching of Roman Catholicism. Blaine laws and subsequent special-religious-interest decisions by the USSC have resulted in the constitutionally baseless public school "church and state separation" messes that we have today, in my opinion.
