Beginning in 2014, the United Kingdom will require all British schoolchildren to complete a unit on the history of Islam, proudly reports Press TV, Iran’s very own 24-hour English language news organization.
British Education Secretary Michael Gove announced the addition of a Muslim-specific component after revisions were made to address an outcry over a prior draft that did not include any references to the monotheistic Abrahamic religion.
Muslims were among the most vocal critics. The Muslim Council of Britain, which represents about 500 Islamic institutes across Britain, declared that it was “deeply disappointed.”
The revised curriculum is “great,” though, according to Salim Mulla, chairman of the Lancashire Council of Mosques. Sulla believes that people in the country could use “a better understanding of all faiths,” notes Press TV.
“There is already a good understanding of Christianity taught in schools,” Mulla told the Iranian media outlet. “But I don’t think a lot of Christians really understand what the Muslim faith is about.”

It seems they might at least have what the people in Egypt had.
What they also have is nothing left to lose.
Phew, lol.
Believe me, there are some freepers who post such as fact.
I wouldn’t mind if it meant that Islamic history was subject to the same criticism as western history is. But you know it won’t be.
Teachers will no doubt be instructed to emphasize Islam’s “tolerance” in comparison to European warfare and the Holocaust. Islam’s conquests will be referred to as “expansion” instead of “invasion.” Current Islamic warfare will all be blamed on colonialism. The treatment of women will be dressed up as “respect” rather than punishment and male ownership.
Typical Islamist propaganda, in other words.
c’mon Nick...How do you think Islam is going to be presented? You think they’ll show Mohammed as a madman, who glued together parts of Judaism and Arianism by way of his epileptic fits; only to create a theocracy bent on destroying anything that got in its way (i.e. all of N. Africa et al)? Me thinks the cleansed version of “Islam; the religion of peace” will be taught.
