Several leaders of Muslim groups in Washington did not want to be quoted criticizing an Islamic institution, but privately said that the Potomac school's political leanings are heavily influenced by Iran and are at odds with what's taught at other Islamic schools in the region.
This is precisely the problem . . . it seems to me that sooner or later these people will either have to "criticize an Islamic institution" or by continued public silence give support to institutions like these.

"Let me jump in," said Salahudeen Kareem, principal of the Muslim Community School -- a 17-year-old, 150-student private school serving pre-kindergarten through 11th grade. "Allegiance to national authority is one thing, but the one who gives us life is more entitled to that authority.
The Muslim Community School shares space and directors with the Islamic Education Center, which runs religious and language classes and has close ties to the Iranian Interests Section in Washington, and, according to U.S. officials, is "entirely controlled by the government of Iran."
Is the Muslim Community School teaching hate? Kareem said that was impossible, that Islam is a faith of peace. "Our kids are not insensitive or uncaring," he said. "It's not that they are targeting somebody. These are the reference points we are exposing them to, because we don't see ourselves in nation-state terms. We are our own nation."
Seems clear to me that the Potomac Muslim Community School is brainwashing children. I wonder if the principal's comments pass the test for statements of sedition? I sometimes loath the price we pay for being an open society, allowing human filth from every corner of the globe to emigrate here and spew their foul doctrines.
Aid and comfort has to be a little more than
teaching historical baloney. Else, you would
have to arrest every Marxist professor in
academe. Treason is what Clinton did. Don't
cheapen the act with histrionics.

Then het your sorry, pathetic self out of this country. As they say: "Love it or LEAVE It!"!!
Agreed. And if we can't prosecute them under that law, we ought to deport these people.
Little Kamal doesn't understand the difference between being loyal to your country and loyal to your government. Wouldn't want him voting anyway. OUT!
