U.S. Muslim school curriculum: English, math and political activism
Reuters ^ | 2/3/17 | Scott Malone

The students at Al-Noor Academy, a Muslim school outside Boston, bombarded their government class speaker with questions: How do you start a political discussion? How do you use social media in politics? And how do you influence elected leaders?

The group of mostly 16-year-olds was too young to vote but seemed eager to find ways to counter the rhetoric of President Donald Trump who last week issued travel restrictions to the United States by citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries.

"Before this election happened, I really didn't know much about politics at all," said Sarah Sendian, a sophomore student at the school in Mansfield, Massachusetts. "With the new president and all of the things that are happening, it sparked a lot of interest in a lot of young people."

The class is one of the first actions of newly formed Muslim political organization Jetpac - standing for Justice, Education, Technology, Policy Advocacy Center - to encourage political activism among the 3.3 million Muslims who make up about 1 percent of the U.S. population.

Remember: “Justice” is defined by sharia as being under Sharia

So it’s really Setpak.

Ask them why a philosophy based on cruelity to the unbeliever and founded by an pedophile, sex slave trafficker, slave trader, liar, torturer, thief and mass murderer is worthy of importing into America?

How do you start a political discussion? How do you use social media in politics? And how do you influence elected leaders?

First you have to personally go to one of these 7 countries and live there for 6 months, so you have a better understanding of their issues.

I WILL PAY FOR YOUR TICKET, CALL ME!

Answer: because following in the ‘prophet’ is the highest calling a muslim can have. They and many Christians believe their is no difference between their ‘prophet’ and Christ, therefore it is time for Christians to convert to the more modern religion - such is the insanity.

Those kids want to know more about politics shows that they come from the highly political environment of Islam, a political movement based on the love of death.

It also shows that those kids know very little about the actuality of Islam and it tenets. They should be better educated about what their beliefs actually mean, as of now they are showing only a rudimentary knowledge.

Islam is an evil and oppressive religion as well as being an evil and oppressive form of government (Caliphate & Sharia) . Islam should be treated as a terrorist organization because that is precisely what it is. Its adherents (Muslims) are terrorists. American Muslims should be given a choice to disavow themselves of Islam OR take a one-way ticket to their Muslim nation of choice.

When I look at predominately Muslim nations today, I see non-Muslims in those nations suffering persecution. Christians are the #1 persecuted group in the world. The vast majority of that persecution come from the God damned religion of submission - Islam.

Why don’t they start by pushing out the terrorists in their midst, that would elevate them in the eyes of the people they are trying to influence.
