Muslim Community School in Potomac....

"If I had to choose sides, I'd stay with being Muslim," said eighth-grader Ibrahim. "Being an American means nothing to me. I'm not even proud of telling my cousins in Pakistan that I'm American."....

I can't post any more than this because it's from the Washington Post.

Read the whole article here.

Good question...seems the Muslims don't know that Islam is a religion.

As I replied to the earlier post: NITS MAKE LICE

[Michael2001]

"I didn't realize that Muslims were being asked to make this choice. So, they think that one cannot be Muslim & also American? That will come as a huge shock to most American Muslims."

You really think that most American Muslims will be shocked by this, or will most liberal "Christians" be shocked by this. Christians will never have to make a choice, because the values of Christianity are synonymous with America. American and Islamic values are not a match, these people will have to make a choice.

I read the entire article and I conclude that Muslims have ONE allegiance - it is to Islam! That allengiance, of course, includes the annilation of Israel!

[TrueBeliever9]

This article is a must read. Contrary to what the media says (that it is proverty) these children live and go to school in Potomac Maryland - one of the richest burbs in America. Is their allegiance to America - NO! and never will be!

Another quote from the article:

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."

Fortunate for these students, living in the U.S. means not having to choose between faith and country.....at least not yet.

OK! When do we start?

[Kay Soze]

We fought people of the same religion in WWII !

Despite Nazis being Christians what they did was not in accordance with the Creator!!!

Is the Taliban's treatment of women and it own Muslims in accordance with the will of the Creator? You guys need to realize this is an Iranian school that teaches hate.
