“Pro-Islam principal removed”
Jeff Johnson - OneNewsNow - 6/9/2008 10:45:00 AM

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Pastors in the Houston area who objected to a pro-Islam assembly at an area junior high school are applauding the removal of the principal who arranged the presentation.

As OneNewsNow previously reported, nearly 900 seventh- and eighth-grade students at Friendswood Junior High were required to attend a pro-Islam presentation by two representatives of the Council on American-Islamic relations. The program stated Islamic opinion on religious issues as fact, and contained instruction on how to practice Muslim religious rituals.”

“Islamic infiltration in Texas school

Jeff Johnson - OneNewsNow - 6/3/2008 10:05:00 AM

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Parents and Christian pastors in the Houston area are angry after a local junior high school forced students to attend what they describe as an indoctrination to Islam.

Pastor Dave Welch, executive director of the Houston Area Pastor Council, is just one of those angry over a presentation by two female representatives of the Council on American-Islamic Relations that students at the Friendswood Junior High School were forced to attend two weeks ago.

“The specific details, as we were given by the students, included teachings that Adam, Noah, and Jesus were all prophets like Mohammed; the basic tenets of Islam; the process of how to pray five times a day; again, the pillars of Islam. These were specific, religious instructions,” Welch explains.

Welch says Principal Robin Lowe explained to parents, who initially complained, that the assembly was held to deal with comments some students had made that were insensitive to Arab students. “This was not just cultural issues of the manners and ways of Arab culture. This was Islamic teaching,” says the Houston pastor. “That was the issue that, obviously, raised great concern. This was forced religious instruction and [what we call] Islamic ... ‘indoctrination.’”

Even more egregious, Welch says, is the fact that the principal was allegedly ordered by the superintendent of the school district not to allow the pro-Islam assembly, but did so anyway.”
