My organization, Americans for Peace and Tolerance (APT), just released a video showing 6th graders from Wellesley, MA as they rise from prostrating themselves alongside Muslim men in a prayer to Allah while on a public school field trip to the largest mosque in the Northeast. Teachers did not intervene. Parents have not been told.

The video was taken inside the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center Bostons controversial Saudi-funded mega-mosque during a Wellesley Middle School social studies trip to the mosque, ostensibly taken to learn about the history of Islam first-hand. Yet the video reveals that the students are being blatantly mis-educated about Islam. A mosque spokesperson is seen teaching the children that in Mohammeds 7th century Arabia women were allowed to vote, while in America women only gained that right a hundred years ago. This seems to be an increasingly recurring theme in American schools the denigration of western civilization and the glorification of Islamic history and values. In fact, just recently, the American Textbook Council revealed that the New York State high school regents exam whitewashes the atrocities that occurred during the imperialistic Islamic conquest of Christian Byzantium, Persia, the African continent, and the Indian subcontinent, even as it demonizes European colonialism in South America.
The mosque spokesperson also taught the students that the only meaning of Jihad in Islam is a personal spiritual struggle, and that Jihad has historically had no relationship with holy war. As far as we know, the school has not corrected these false lessons.
Our organization, APT, is a non-profit group run by Jews, Christians and authentically moderate Muslims opposed to the radicalization of Americas historically moderate Muslim community. For the past three years weve been sounding the alarm about the radical leadership and Saudi funding of the Boston mega-mosque and the organization that runs it, the Muslim American Society, which has been labeled by Federal prosecutors as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.
The Islamic Society of Boston was founded by Abdulrahman Alamoudi, who is currently serving 23 years in jail on terror charges. For years, its board of trustees included Yusuf al Qaradawi, the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood who was banned by Bill Clinton from the United States in 1999. Qaradawi now chairs the Muslim American Societys university, which offers classes inside the mosque. Over half the mosques $15.5 million price tag was funded by wealthy Saudis and since it opened, several of its leaders, donors and members have been implicated in Islamic extremism.
Oussama Ziade, a big donor to the mosque, is now a fugitive in Lebanon after being indicted in 2009 for dealing in the assets of an Al Qaeda financier. Ahmad Abousamra, the son of the Boston Muslim American Societys former vice-president Abdulbadi Abousamra, is now a fugitive in Syria, fleeing the country before being indicted in 2009 on charges of aiding Al Qaeda. One of the mosques imams, Abdullah Faaruuq, was captured on tape in 2010 telling followers to pick up the gun and the sword and to defend another local terrorist Aafia Siddiqui from the U.S. government. Siddiqui, who was one of the imams congregants, is an MIT graduate and Al Qaeda member awaiting sentencing for attempting to murder FBI agents in Afghanistan while shouting death to America. (LINK)
The mosque leadership continues to be embraced by top Massachusetts political and religious leaders. These include Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, as well as a group of local progressive rabbis and Christian clergy, who all insist despite evidence to the contrary that the mosque is moderate and its critics are just bigots.
Indeed, this is a familiar refrain by leaders nationwide in response to the increasing public realization that Islamic leaders are not as moderate as they present themselves. Radicalism is growing and many moderate Muslims have been silenced. In various parts of the country, public schools are allowing Muslim extremists to promote Islam to our children. Somethings broken here. Our leadership is failing. Its now up to ordinary citizens to fix it.
property taxes ???...oh wait...
Thanks. I actually posted that Big Peace article here on FR a bit ago:

pretty scary!
Obama’s school czar is like the rest of his czars...marxists and leftists. That’s why he doesn’t want them to go through a confirmation process.
Which citizens?
It is ok to lie to infidels so long as it advances Islam. Go to mosque, witness lies and deceptions.
Shocked!
Say that to the bleeding-hearts in my synagogue;I’d love to see their faces!
The problem is the Saudi king. Old Fahd didn't push stuff like this. His successor is a Philip II type (Philip spent much of his reign on his knees, praying). Remember old Prince Bandar, the urbane, F-15-flying former ambassador? Haven't heard of him in years; he's in total eclipse now. But there are still moderate Moslems over there who aren't down with all the righteous-of-Islam crap.
But we need to man up to these guys. It's never good to look gutless around bullies and pushypants types. It draws flies. And real predators, like the Chinese.
They must not! Catholicism is evil!! (Sarc)
That's Abu Ayman's propaganda that he's worn out his pen collection pushing to the Moslem community.
He just put out another treatise, heavily supported with Koranic exegeses and quotations from the Haditha. But the point is, if he's hustling so hard, the inference to be drawn is that he hasn't closed that sale with a hell of a lot of people over there.
He's preaching to the choir, but most of them still ain't singing along.
Point.
Heads need to roll. It’s the muslim way.
Oh, Hell to the NO! Another day, another reason to homeschool.
for whatever good it does, I sent that link and a couple more to all the congress with email address
And what did we do after the German’s bombed Pearl Harbor/ What was our response? mmhmmm. Now what has been our response as our rights and cultural have been stripped for the past 25+years? Twittering, blogging our displeasure? What happened after deathcare was rammed through and thrust upon us by lying, bribing, cheating, backdoor deals, etc. NOTHING, barely a whimper.
If Americans don’t grow a set and step outside their comfort zone, I’m sorry, this country, as we have know it, is over. I try to be optimistic, but I’m also a realist, I don’t see a lot of hope for America. I pray to God that I am wrong.
Has anyone downloaded this video and saved it? I’m having trouble with it. I don’t know what is going on...maybe You Tube doesn’t want us to download it. It goes forever then stops toward the end. I tried a couple of other videos so I know it’s not my computer or connection.

Nearly EVERY large city has at least one mosque like the Boston mosque—run by the muslim Brotherhood or directly by the Wahhabis or Iranians.
But the Boston mosque is particularly notorious, for its famous criminal jihadist founders and its (at least at one time) open preaching of antisemitism, Serbophobia, Russophobia, anti-Christianity, and anti-Americanism. IMHO, ALL the “radical” mosques (i.e., most of the mosques in the US) hold the same views, and the Boston mosque (which has stopped being so open since 9/11, which was before their big mosque was built) still does. “Radical” islam is really mainstream islam!!!!
The Boston mosque is also infamous for the warm support that it has garnered from the Governor of MA, the Mayor of Boston, and the gaggle of liberal protestant, liberal Jewish, and semi-apostate Roman Catholics who support it. These abject, groveling dhimmis, who are hurting their own children, roundly condemn those who oppose the radical muslims as “bigots”. They should be ashamed of themselves, and repent ASAP!!!!
All of these mosques practice da’wa. For the kuffar, they define da’wa as “education about islam”. But what it REALLY means is proselytizing for islam. The false definition of da’wa for the kuffar is an example of taqiyya.
In my former Lutheran (ELCA) parish, some muslims from a “radical” mosque came and conducted da’wa, at the invitation of the pastor. (This was well after I had converted to Orthodox Christianity.) Then they came back, and conducted da’wa for the youth group—without adult (non-muslim) supervision!!!! So much for the ultra-liberal, “gay”-infested ELCA!
If any of those students who went to the mosque—especially if they participated in salat (muslim prayer)—are Orthodox, they have excommunicated themselves by the sin of apostasy. They need to repent and go to Confession ASAP, in order to be readmitted to Holy Communion. (The parents who gave them permission better go to Confession as well.) I believe that the same is true for Roman Catholics. However, I believe that nearly all Orthodox parents know better than to give their children permission for such a “field trip”, especially of they are Serbian or Greek.
Finally, if any school organized a field trip to a Serbian Orthodox church, there would be such an outcry that heads would roll, mainly because of Serbophobia as encouraged by the media and the muslims. (Because of separation of church and state, no such field trip should happen, either.) However, children of any religion or none would be perfectly safe going to a Serbian Orthodox church, or any Orthodox church. They are NOT safe going to a mosque!!!!
head exploding..............
Not sure. I haven’t tried to download it myself. Maybe just too many folks are trying to watch it at the same time. it’s going viral.
WOW
That video is enlightening...
One question would be
“Did none of the parents refuse their permission ???”
Members of Wellesleys school committee forwarded comment to School committee chair KC Kato who said she was supporting Wongs position.Im supportive of [Wongs] letter and Im supportive of the educational program which we provide, she said.
LET THE FISKING BEGIN!
