The religion of p*ss.
Having survived a world history class in public high school 3 years ago, I will say that while the textbooks suck (especially when they get to modern things, but that’s a whole different topic), we had enough discussions to present Islam in both the lights of radicalism and “peace”.
Maybe my circumstance is unique (though I doubt it since my school was quite liberal). Maybe I just knew better being a conservative.
One could take away two different things from this: 1) that all Muslims practice this type of jihad, or 2) that there are Muslims who obviously don't resist temptation and practice evil.
I won't presume what skulls of mush are taking away from this information, but if they pay any attention to events in many parts of the world, they should come to the later conclusion.
But that's true. It's just that the hand is holding a sword or the detonator to a homicide belt.
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.
A textbook that says “Muslims should fulfill jihad with the heart, tongue, and hand. Muslims use the heart in their struggle to resist evil.”? Imagine reading a textbook that interprets the Bible to school children? What place is it for a textbook to do this in a classroom?

A.Why should one fiber of textbook be dedicated to Islam when a Bible can’t be found in a class?
B. Muslims aren’t doing anything to help their cause.
C. World history, the real thing, teaches us that Islam is a cover for despots eager to control their masses by fear and lies, sanctioning murdering even their own in the name of Allah.
Oh, yeah, I want to learn more./sarc
The same people who roll their eyes when Bush refers to ‘Evil’ have nothing but admiration for Islamic refereces to same. If that isn’t an example of brain-dead anti-Americanism I don’t know what is.
Convert !
Pay !
or Die!
and Die if you attempt to leave islam.
America and the rest of the civilized world are at war with Islam, yet our textbooks talk about how wonderful Islam is. This is madness. It would be like if during WWII US textbooks taught students how great Nazism is. We will never win with this attitude.
on page 8:
” It is also related from Ali that he said: ‘Faith has four pillars - Patience, Firm Belief, Equity and Jihad.’
And from him also it is related that he said: ‘Fight in the way of Allah with your hands, but if you cannot, fight with your tongues, and if you cannot, fight with your hearts.’ “
Quote from the book: The kitab al-jihad from qadi nu man’s da a im al-islam translated with introduction ...
G. Salinger, 1953
(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......
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.
“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.
