Exposing those who force kids to pray to Allah

"We support nations that support individuals that do not have our
best interests at heart, quite the contrary, they’re our biggest
enemies in the world and we dress them up, take them out on a date and
pretend that they’re our lovers and they are NOT."
–Rep. Shelley Berkley, Diplomacy and Counterterrorism hearing (see
other quotes and context)
Similarly, three men have boldly addressed the ideology of Islam,
Franklin Graham, Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell. But Colin Powell said we must not listen to "bigots,
extremists who cloak themselves in false spirituality in an attempt to
divide and to weaken us" and invited Muslim educators,
journalists, political and religious leaders from Islamic countries to
educate us.
Enter the troops of "diversity trainers."
Susan L. Douglass - a highly acclaimed textbook consultant and
advisor to state education boards, praised Pakistan's madrassa schools
as "proud symbols of learning," even after the U.S. government blamed
them for fueling the rise of the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Douglass taught
social studies at the Islamic Saudi Academy in Alexandria, Va., which
teaches Wahhabism through textbooks that condemn Jews and Christians
as infidels and enemies of Islam. Douglass is a practicing Muslim who
helps train thousands of public school teachers on Islamic
instruction.

Nader F. Darehshori, CEO/President of the Islam-promoting Houghton
Mifflin textbooks, previously taught elementary school in Iran. He was
replaced in 2002 after BlessedCause gained media attention to the
textbook. During our campaign, Houghton Mifflin (HM) was sold at a huge
loss, possibly as much as $920 million.

Abigail Jungreis, HM’s Editorial Director - specifically denied
help from the Council on Islamic Education (CIE) and said the scope of their
involvement was limited to reviewing the textbook material. But
Jungreis was caught boasting on the Islamic website, Soundvision:
"It is also with the help of the CIE that Houghton Mifflin's
textbooks have been able to show what Crusades were like for the
Muslims. We've been able to give several perspectives on an event like
that," she says. "We see our reviewers as playing a crucial role in
enabling us to present accurate and complete information."
Soundvision has already dedicated America to Islam. It states it is
"Waqf fi sabellillah" which few Americans know means "devoting a plot
of land [i.e. America] for Muslim religious purposes in the name of
Allah."
Afeefa Syeed, a "multicultural trainer" - currently accompanied by
Muslim children who carry prayer mats and information about Ramadan to
train 3rd, 4th and 5th graders as part of religious obligation. (3)
Shabbir Mansuri, founder of CIE
said he is waging a "bloodless" revolution, promoting world cultures
and faiths in America's classrooms." CIE has warned scholars and
public officials who do not sympathize with its requests that they
will be perceived as racists, reactionaries, and enemies of Islam.
Audrey Shabbas, author of Arab World Studies Notebook, attempted to
rewrite the history of the Algonquin Indian origins to Islam. After
six months of protests from the Algonquins, Shabbas conceded
and wrote, "I bow to the knowledge of the Algonquin Nation about their
own history," but posted on al-Jazeerah's website: Shabbas "questions
the motives of those who censured the offending paragraph." She said,
"The Arab World Studies Notebook is exactly what its meant to be, and
no apologies need to be made for it." She also said, "What's
interesting is the motive of the folks that brought this to the
attention of the Algonquin Indians."

With such effort, a growing number of schools now train children to
recite:
"In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. Praise be
to Allah, Lord of Creation, The Compassionate, the Merciful, King of
Judgment day! You alone we worship, and to You alone we pray for
help, Guide us to the straight path."
They must also "become Muslim," take Muslim names and fast for
Ramadan all under the name of "pluralism." One student said that after
getting on his hands and knees and praying to Allah, he went home and
tried it "when no one was looking."

Under Colin Powell, the US State Department has provided a video for
educators. If "Terrorism: A War Without Borders" follows the theme of
its
35 page pdf, the script strips all identification to
Islam. Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, bin Laden, the PLO are not associated to a holy war and are
compared to terrorists of the French Revolution. Yet it describes Timothy McVeigh and
Nichols as "right-wing American extremists" avenging Davidian cult
members in Waco, Texas. (page 13) After all lessons,
only Hamas
is finally identified as "Islamic." (6)
Colin Powell has a charming way of drawing his audience in,
but watch carefully what he says. Treachery is defined as betrayal of
trust. Parents feel betrayed by public schools as Muslim trainers
flood our schools and religious freedom is forfeit. Many
want to blame the Muslims but the
real culprits are in our own
government, cooperating with Islam recruitment. (7)
Hopefully Condoleeza Rice will stop inviting
Muslim educators to reprogram our children. Who will volunteer to
fight for a country that treats Christianity like a four-letter-word
while children are required to repeat praise and worship to Allah?
Patrick Henry said, "We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful
truth. For my part, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the
worst; and to provide for it."
Graham, Robertson and Falwell have risked their lives and are
persecuted for painful
truth. The question is, will President Bush and his new cabinet members provide
for the children in public school?
