From what I read, the instruction was this: “There, two women from the Houston division of the Council on American-Islamic Relations instructed students that Adam, Noah and Jesus are prophets, announced “there is one god, his name is Allah,” taught the five pillars of Islam, told students how to pray five times a day, and instructed what Islamic religious rules require for dress.”

That goes way beyond what is appropriate.

I wonder if I can be allowed to show the children my culture which includes showing them how to make the sign of the cross and saying the rosary?

Famous Muslims: Yassar Arafat, Osama Bin Lauden, the thousands who have been killed trying to murder US soldiers....

This story has alreayd been posted twice:

Texas children roped into Islamic training

Friendswood (TX) Students roped into Islamic training

Turns out that the principal not only disobeyed a direct order from the School Board NOT to allow the presentation, but also that she may be closet Muslim herself.

Kim Leago, whose son is in the eighth grade, said she's still upset he was exposed to the "inappropriate" presentation.

Everything about Islam is inappropriate.

Sura (2:191-193) - "And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution of Muslims is worse than slaughter of non-believers...and fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah."

Sura (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared,"Kill any Jew who falls under your power."

Ibn Ishaq: 327 - “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

"We can't say 'One nation under God' in school, so I definitely don't think (the presentation) was the right choice," she said.

If you're a leftwing nutbar who's ultimate aim is to burn down the traditional United States & your means is the classroom it's a perfectly understandable choice.

...two Muslim women gave a 30-minute presentation about Islamic life as part of a yearlong study of respect, tolerance and culture...

The presentation was appropriate if they noted that the founder of the religion was a serial adulterer, gigolo turned pedophile, thief, torturer and murderer as part of the angle about "famous Muslims."

If students also got the lowdown on ritual female genital mutilation, honor killing, polygamy, the fact that women are regarded as 1/2 a man for legal purposes, corporal punishment under Sharia Law, the fact that the only places on Earth where slavery still rears its ugly head are the Islamic countries, that death is the penalty for "freedom" of religion, and that Christians and Hindus are routinely beaten or murdered for perceived injustices that may have been visited thousands of miles or hundreds of years distant, that would have been a good educational effort, too.

I'm guessing though, that they just got a nice treatment of Muslim "fashion" -- well, OK, that alone is enough to get the next generation of American women ready for war...

Respect and tolerance? That justifies having a captive audience of little kids brainwashed by a cult which teaches that all other religions must be overthrown, and that their members are offspring of monkeys and pigs?

There is no "respect or tolerance" in Islam, whatsoever.

>> FRIENDSWOOD — ...an omission that violated school district policy.

>> School district spokeswoman Karolyn Gephart said principal Robin Lowe had “best intentions,”

America should not permit immature, ignorant, or malicious minds to influence its children. Whether it’s “best intentions” or activism, the schools will continue to indoctrinate despite the parents’ concerns.

It was members of CAIR who made the presentation.

“...religion, dress, beliefs...”

Stoning, female circumcision, hatred for any non-Muslim, “honor” killing, persecution of Christians in Muslim countries etc. If the presentation included the mentioning of these items it was a successful meeting. Otherwise, it would have been just a boring series of outright lies.

They keep saying that mistakes were made. But the mistakes all seem to go one way only.

The woman, Gephart is nothing short of a pig. She deserves to be fired and I hope they do so.

Famous Muslims?

Obviously a misquote. Infamous fits the bill.

'"We can't say 'One nation under God' in school,'

We say the pledge every day, including the new one for the Texas flag.

...School district spokeswoman Karolyn Gephart said principal Robin Lowe had "best intentions," but Gephart acknowledged not informing parents beforehand was a mistake.

In the spirit of " Z-E-R-O T-O-L-E-R-A-N-C-E " This person should be immediately and irrevocably FIRED, P-E-R-I-O-D ! In my book 'religious indoctrination' of this order IS tantamount to violence the same as would be a perceived dangerous weapon. I EXPECT nothing less for this case as would be for bringing a weapon to the classroom.....

Here is a pic of the FJH School principal if anyone is interested.


 Principal Robin Lowe

It came from a cached copy of the original FJH School page which was quickly edited to remove all school employee pictures. I pasted the link on my blog to the cached linked page.
