(Thinking that jihad is “holy war” is wrong, students are told. Instead textbooks insist it is merely an effort to improve oneself and society.)

Well the problem here is that the Islamofacist idea of improving society is to slaughter all infidels - read - the poor stupid kids that are recieving this less then honest education......

[SECURE AMERICA]

I’m homeschooling, and yes, I’m going to teach “intolerance” towards Islam.
According to the non-apostate Muslim, you have three choices:
Convert to Islam,
Submit to slavery,
Die.

Thank you. At least you will raise some children that might have a chance at survival and keeping America free
No children in our extended family have (in the past 10 years) nor will attend, the Government schools anymore.

ji·had [ji-hahd] –noun 1. a holy war undertaken as a sacred duty by Muslims.

ji·had also je·had n. 1. Islam An individual's striving for spiritual self-perfection. or 2. Islam A Muslim holy war or spiritual struggle against infidels.

jihad noun 1. a holy war waged by Muslims against infidels

jihad [(ji-hahd, ji-had)] In Islam, a holy war; a war ordained by God. The Koran teaches that soldiers who die in jihad go to heaven immediately.

Jihad Ji*had"\, Jehad \Je*had"\, n. [Ar. jih[=a]d.] (Moham.) A religious war against infidels or Mohammedan heretics; also, any bitter war or crusade for a principle or belief.

There are a lot of dictionary writers who need to read the new improved history books. Without exception, EVERY dictionary I checked, paper or online, had the wrong definition for "jihad". Not only that, but the Islamic users of the word also seem to use the wrong definition of the word all too often. Even Osama bin Laden, who should know better, uses the word incorrectly when he praises the 9/11 attacks and calls for continued jihad against western crusaders.

Fortunately, I have a simple solution to the problem. We need to send all these authors to meet with bin Laden and his people. I imagine they could come to a clear understanding on which definition matches the real world ... and do so quickly enough to make the authors' heads spin.

"In the Muslim world there are no such inhibitions," Lewis warned. "They are very conscious of their identity. They know who they are and what they are and what they want, a quality which we seem to have lost to a very large extent. This is a source of strength in the one, of weakness in the other."

“Across the Centuries” defines jihad as an “inner struggle” to “do one’s best to resist temptation and overcome evil.”

Sounds like the word ‘diet’ would work equally well.

“We need to send all these authors to meet with bin Laden and his people. I imagine they could come to a clear understanding on which definition matches the real world ... and do so quickly enough to make the authors’ heads spin. “

The authors of these new textbooks could be joined by Obama who will talk to Iran and come to a mutual understanding with them as well!

The PC/diversity crowd for some reason think it makes them “intellectual” or “ethical” when they spew such nonsense.

A required reading of Ali Sina’s Understanding Muhhamad: A Psychobiography would more than negate anything taught in any pc textbook.

Okay, I get it now.

"Islamic Jihad" isn't a terrorist organization, it's a social services agency.

"There is in Islam a paradox which is perhaps a permanent menace. The great creed born in the desert creates a kind of ecstasy out of the very emptiness of its own land, and even, one may say, out of the emptiness of its own theology. It affirms, with no little sublimity, something that is not merely the singleness but rather the solitude of God. There is the same extreme simplification in the solitary figure of the Prophet; and yet this isolation perpetually reacts into its own opposite. A void is made in the heart of Islam which has to be filled up again and again by a mere repetition of the revolution that founded it. There are no sacraments; the only thing that can happen is a sort of apocalypse, as unique as the end of the world; so the apocalypse can only be repeated and the world end again and again. There are no priests; and yet this equality can only breed a multitude of lawless prophets almost as numerous as priests. The very dogma that there is only one Mahomet produces an endless procession of Mahomets. Of these the mightiest in modern times were the man whose name was Ahmed, and whose more famous title was the Mahdi; and his more ferocious successor Abdullahi, who was generally known as the Khalifa. These great fanatics, or great creators of fanaticism, succeeded in making a militarism almost as famous and formidable as that of the Turkish Empire on whose frontiers it hovered, and in spreading a reign of terror such as can seldom be organised except by civilisation…"
