Saudi Academy in Va. revises Islamic history books (Northern Virginia)
FOX News ^ | March 17, 2008 | Molly Henneberg and The Associated Press

The school deleted from its texts some of the most contentious passages, including references to Jihad, killing infidels and hatred of Jews and Christians.

... Ali Al-Ahmed, director of the Gulf Institute, which has been pressing the school to make revision since 2004, told FOX News that the textbooks characterize secular governments as "committing unbelief and allowing us to wage war against them."

"So you're teaching American students -- implanting the seeds of insurgency in these people -- and this is very dangerous," Al-Ahmed said.

The seed of Islamic barbarism is growing in these United States. Islam is a 99% social and political system, 1% a religion. It is incompatible with our Constitution and traditions. It does not deserve 1st Amendment protection. Anyone, except vote grubbing politicians can see what this gutter religion has done to Europe. At the first hint of support for terror, the offending individual should be jailed/deported and his mosque/school shut down.

FYI Ali, it isn’t the Americans who have been waging Jihad, cutting off heads, burning mutilated bodies, setting up IEDs to blow up the Troops as well as innocents, ect.

Islam was an imitation of the Byzantine union of Church and State. Its two greatest enemies are the caste separation of India, and the separation of governments (federal system) found in the US.

Between Obama and other idiotic politicians, invasion via our Mexican boarders and the training of Islamic children to hate our societal freedoms? Please, please someone just pull the handle on the toilet that America is becoming and get it over with.

Think about it my FRiends. Our government, Constitution and traditions could not have developed independent of Christianity. Believers are encouraged by popular culture and tyrannical judges to shut up and keep their faith to themselves.

Enter Islam. It creates nothing; it destroys. It is a hateful virus not only allowed to spread, but largely encouraged and protected by our mass media and much of popular culture.

For anyone in Fairfax County, VA, there will be a public hearing tomorrow night Wednesday, March 18, 2009 at 8:15 p.m. by the planning commission at the Government Center about allowing building additions and increased enrollment at the Islamic Saudi Academy.

Yep. Borders are evil creations. The only exist in much less progressive countries.

Every day I get a song stuck in my head. It is from my teens in the 70’s.

The song is from our northern non-border by a group named “guess who” the title is “share the land”

The chorus “Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand, Maybe I’ll be there to share the land, That they'll be giving away, when we all live together”

How's that working out?

good evening. going to go clean my guns and count my ammo : )

Where in the world did you come up with this?

If I came up with it, then there is no where.

The Eastern Roman Empire (post constantine) sought to use Christianity as a unifying force. From the perspective of an illiterate Arab, it probably looked successful, even if he knew of the Nika riots, and the Nestorian and Arian heresies.

Mahomet cynically tried to park Islam between Chrisianity and Judaism, with 5 daily prayers, between 3 for the Christians and 8 at the time for Jews, Partial circumcision, between the practices of the Jews and Chrisians, pilgrimage once in a lifetime, between none for the Christians, and annual for the Jews.
