A coalition of concerned citizens is contemplating its next move now that the Fairfax County (Virginia) Board of Supervisors has granted a Saudi-funded Islamic academy a zoning exemption to allow it to expand its facility.
The Virginia Anti-Shariah Task Force (VAST) had lobbied hard against the move. But on Monday, by a 6-4 vote, the Fairfax County supervisors sided with the Islamic Saudi Academy which had requested a zoning exemption to expand its 34-acre campus to accommodate 200 additional students.
While there were some concerns about added traffic problems, the Virginia Anti-Sharia Task Force voiced its concerns about the curriculum at the school. During his testimony before the vote, VAST chairman James Lafferty shared his group's concern that the Academy was "raising the next generation of terrorists."
"We believe that the Islamic Saudi Academy is not only teaching shariah law, it is practicing shariah law," Lafferty charged.
He then cited an example when the principal of the Academy followed shariah law instead of state law in dealing with a student's complaint of being assaulted.
Lafferty tells OneNewsNow that the county, in approving the facility's expansion, clearly pandered to the Islamists who support the school.
