School officials in Florida are defending a textbook that declares Muhammad as the “Messenger of God” after critics accused an Islamic education group of launching a stealth jihad in American public school classrooms. The Prentice World History textbook being used in Brevard Public Schools includes a 36-page chapter on Islam but no chapters on Christianity or Judaism. According to a copy obtained by Fox News, The ninth grade textbook declares that Muhammad is the “Messenger of God” and instructs students that jihad is a duty that Muslims must follow. “Jihad may be interpreted

According to the New Testament of the Bible, the God of Israel has a Son
- Jesus Christ of Nazareth; but Allah has no son according to the Koran

Therefore the Biblical New Testament Christian God of Israel is not Allah

Dividing the sheep from the goats will require that the sheep declare to the world that islam is a ruse of satan.

There is no ecumenical middle ground.

And the Old Testament spells out in detail how Abraham cast out Ismael and his mother Hagar, foretold how Ishmael's hand would be against every other man, and separated his fate from those of the Israelites. Yet the Muslim douchebags actual claim that their most holy site - the Kaaba in Mecca, was BUILT by Abraham, and there is actually a shrine which claims that Abraham held Ismael on his shoulders to witness the last stone going up. This despite the fact that Mohammed built it and brought the meteorite stone there 3000 years later. The Muslim pigs have utterly no shame in the breadth of their lies. It is horrible to see these Florida idiots repeat their lies.

Not being sarcastic, looking for an actual answer.

The relevant question here is whether the textbook takes the sociologists’ “neutral” stance and when discussing each religion presents its tenets in the terms in which the believers would present them, in which case it’s annoying to the adherents of every religion, but not really a problem, or whether this is a stance adopted in the discussion of Islam alone, in which public outcry to the point of disrupting school board meetings is in order and use of such texts should be able to be struck down on First Amendment grounds.

Muhammster was Satan's messenger, and a bestial pedophile to boot.

May he roast in Hell.

Sadly there are just as many Christians who vote democrat as there are who vote republican.

I used to think the preachers should be shouting from the pulpits. Then I figured out there are just as many democrat preachers as there are republican. Probably more.

What is the answer? God is the answer no matter what the question. It just seems to me that He really doesn’t want to get involved and who am I to question Him?

What is the need for 36 PAGES on Islam when one paragraph under a picture of the WTC collapsing serves the same purpose?

From the article:

"Last year, the Citizens For National Security was able to get a similar book removed from the classroom in Palm Beach County.

“In short, you are using an Islam-biased, flawed textbook that has neither partially nor fully been corrected,” he told Brevard County school leaders."

Palm Beach County is liberal. Yet, they got rid of this book. Brevard County is conservative. I am surprised they are trying to defend this book. I imagine they are doing all they can to keep this quiet because once people in the county realize this is happening, the school board will be replaced.

My Bible says the Most High God, the Creator of everything, is the God of Israel, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
AND the Father of the One send to save us from our sins, His only begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
