All schools shut down in Augusta County, Virginia, over Islam homework
CNN ^ | 12/18/15 | Ben Brumfield

Posted on 12/18/2015 12:10:46 PM PST by SoFloFreeper

After a teacher at a Virginia school handed out a standard homework assignment on Islam, such an angry backlash flooded in that it prompted officials to close every single school in the county as a safety precaution.

How convenient for the government school functionaries that they closed on the **18th** when the parents contacted them on the 11th!

Wow! An extra taxpaid vacation day for all! Convenient! Indeed!

I went to high school in the 1960s and never had a class that discussed muzzies.

I suspect that is the case with most of the older folks on FR.

I'm not sure to which murdering rapists you're referring.

That would be the ones who were the subject of the homework assignment.

Sorry, the assignment was wrong, and anyone who taught it, or anyone who oversaw these teachers should be fired and permanently banned from similar work.

CAIR might have some openings...

“..then it will be to find out the name of the teacher ..”

Just ask the kids from his/her/it’s class.

Simple enough.

The subjects, as far as I can tell, are moslems, generally. Not all moslems are murdering rapists.

Interesting, you were not intelligent enough to get a degree but your daughter is attending college....

Wow! You failed at that one. Apparently "metmom" was able to teach her daughter well enough to get to college and you somehow sling that as insult.

I guess they didn't require you to take critical thinking to get your certificate....

Well, then those are non-murdering rapists.

In any case, if they are not murdering rapists, then they are not very good moslems. They will be likely murdered by the "good moslems".

I’ve made no secret about what my degree is in.

If you were the rocket scientist you present yourself as, you’d know.

FWIW, the teaching degree was considered the dummy degree even back in the day when I was in college, in the 70’s. It was the degree for those who weren’t smart enough to get a real degree so they could get a real job in the real world. They couldn’t handle the intellectual rigor a non-teaching degree demanded.

BTW, are you still posting on the job? You know, during the day on school days?

All three of my kids have at least a bachelors.

The girls, in STEM fields, are actively pursuing a masters and PhD in their respective fields.

Successful products of an excellent homeschool education.

I’ve met some number of moslems, ranging from devout to indifferent. None were murderers or rapists.

And anecdotal stories of “moderate Muslims” simply aren’t of much interest to thinking people.

The real issue is What do Muslims believe? And what are the beliefs and behaviors encouraged by the religion?

On that first, I recommend:

Muslim Opinion Polls - A “Tiny Minority of Extremists”?
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/opinion-polls.htm

The World’s Muslims: Religion, Politics and Society (From the Pew polling organization)

I hope you take the time to wrap your head around the numbers presented.

I hope you will learn to be less condescending in your posts.

I have studied islam formally and likely forgotten more than you’ve known.

I don’t relay second hand anecdotes. I have known, worked, employed, and played with moslems. I have little use for their false, satanic religion, but actual people I have met are just that, actual people. Who are not murderers. Who are not rapists.

Many moslems sympathize with the most extreme elements of islam. In my view, a large majority. But not even all of them are murderers or rapists. But there are a lot of moslems, and even if we say that but 10% are “moderate,” that’s a hundred million who don’t intrinsically want to cut our heads off.

One must account for them.

Ask them what would happen if their Imam ordered them to kill you. Ask them if they believe in Jihad. Ask them if they think Israel has a right to exist.

Ask them if mohammed was a murdering child-molester.

It is their “right” to rape infidel women. Maybe you haven’t heard what’s going on in Europe.

What’s the point in being a moslem if you aren’t going to rape and kill?

No, they just agree with the murdering satanic religion.

Well there you have it. Close enough. Don't expect any help from your muzzie-buddies in a terrorist attack, they're probably helping build the pipe bombs in their garage.

The West has a rich tradition in calligraphy. Why not use and teach from the Western tradition?

We have illuminated manuscripts. Beauty. And they predate Islam.

There is absolutely NO NEED to reach outside our culture to teach our kids. We've invented it ALL, and we do it better. That's why everyone copies us, or better, MOVES HERE.

Take a look at the responses from these so called Christians on this thread and tell me that they truly have Jesus in their heart.

They may not be murderers, but it is still at root an evil belief system. And whitewashing evil is something we should not do, nor excuse, just because it is easier than confronting it.
