The First Three to Five Minutes: Arab and Muslim Cultural Awareness for Law Enforcement is an outrageous example of the U.S. government appeasing the very worst elements of Islam, even at the expense of our own laws and values. This training film not only instructs law enforcement officers to obey Sharia gender rules when conducting investigations, its also a flagrant piece of pro-Islamic propaganda that presents Muslim gender discrimination as proof of Islams strong connection to God.
The First Three to Five Seconds was initially developed by the Department of Justice, and its now used by both the DOJ and the Department of Homeland Security to train all of their law enforcement personnel. The First Three to Five Seconds is described on the DHS website as a film that introduces law enforcement officers to basic principles of the Arab American and Muslim American cultures. However, the DHS description hardly does this instructional film justice.
To begin with, there is the outright pro-Islam propaganda. Naturally, all religions see their tenets and customs in a positive light. But its not the job of the United States government, in a taxpayer-funded film, to produce religious propaganda which claims that one particular religions tenets and customs somehow make that faith closer to God.
The First Three to Five Minutes opens with the Muslim call to prayer. The narrator proclaims, In order to keep a strong connection with God, Islam prescribes that believers pray five times a day. The narration continues, instructing law enforcement officers:
"If you visit a mosque, be aware that there are separate entrances to the prayer sections for females and males as an extension of modesty. To keep their minds on the worship of God, men and women pray in separate sections.
Some would argue that Islamic gender segregation is due to an intense, virulent, and pervasive anti-female bias within the faith something negative, not positive. Yet The First Three to Five Minutes uses taxpayer money to promote a positive view of Muslim gender segregation. If a law enforcement agency wishes to instruct its officers in how Muslims pray, fine. Lay out the facts; leave the value judgments out.
Interestingly, the line about Muslims strong connection to God, while clearly spoken in the film, is absent in the DHS transcript....
Where The First Three to Five Minutes hits absolute rock bottom is in its instructions to law enforcement officers, should they have to visit a Muslim home during the course of an investigation. Startlingly, the film tells officers not to enter a Muslim home if there is an adult female occupant who is not in the presence of a Muslim male! The film provides a dramatization in which a male officer knocks on the door of a home. An adult female in a hijab answers meekly, informing the policeman that her husband is not home, so she cannot speak to the officer or allow him inside. The narrator says, This might seem suspicious, but, he reassures the viewers, it is indeed inappropriate to enter a Muslim house in a situation like that. The officer is shown turning around and leaving.
You're right on this one!
“Jesus was a great teacher” is the classic, classic Muslim definition of Jesus. According to Muslims, he was not and cannot be the son of God and it is heresy to say that he was.
Obama really openly outed himself in this interview, but the MSM and John McCain (Obama's partner vs. opponent) quickly buried it and fanatically covered for him.
On several occasions, Obama has come right to the very edge of admitting he is a Muslim. I think he wants to come out of the closet, but, the MSN and the Democrats will not let him.
I hadn’t heard about the line “Jesus was a great teacher”. I’ll have to ask to find out if this student has ever said that line.
From what I heard of the class discussion, I do not believe this student was given the opportunity to make this claim. He was asked outright if he believed Jesus Christ was the son of God, and when he replied that he did not, the teacher had essentially won the argument.
Janet Nappy & Eric Holder need to be tried for treason against the USA.
Why would we be surprised?
We have female soldiers wearing scarfs instead of kevlar helmets in Afghanistan.
When stationed in germany.... the public urnial was a water wall with a stream of water at the base of it running waste down and to the sewer....
In front of every mosque ...damned if they don’t have that same wall where they wash up before they pray.
How convenient !
FALSANI:
Who's Jesus to you?
(He laughs nervously)
OBAMA:
Right.
Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he's also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, (Note: he does not say My faith, he just says this is who Jesus is for the Christians) and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher.
And he's also a wonderful teacher. I think it's important for all of us, of whatever faith, to have teachers in the flesh and also teachers in history.
------------------------------------------------------------ He answers the question like he is writing a detached sixth grade essay on who Jesus was. And yet during the campaign, he couldn't say he was a Christian enough times. He is a Christian, according to himself, he just happens to not believe in Jesus.
He never says openly and never even implies that he is a Christian in answer to the question. I'm sure if your Muslim student is asked, he will give a similar answer. Jesus was a historical figure, and a wonderful teacher. That's all.

I have no doubt this student would have given a similar response, if he had been given the opportunity to do so.
Thank you for posting the complete information. I do remember reading about this previously, I just didn’t remember the exact words used.
