Islam Indoctrination in U.S. Textbooks

(see
expanded version with footnotes)Today’s
textbooks indoctrinate our children into Islam and are backed by court
rulings allowing teachers to REQUIRE our children to bow down and pray
to Allah "in demonstration." As Obama’s non-jihadists plot to
"internally cleanse" America shouting "Allah-Akbar," many of our
children have simultaneously taken the position on their hands and
knees and recited, "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."
Public outrage has caused some school districts to take pause in
"simulating Islam," but not before Judge Phyllis Hamilton ruled in
favor of the practice. Court transcripts quote: "the use of the Islam
module was motivated by the purely secular purpose of instructing
students about Islamic culture and history" and that a "non-secular
purpose may only be found 'when...there was no question that
the...activity was motivated WHOLLY be religious considerations."
[omissions in transcript]
It is shocking that Hamilton could compose the following condemning
the Ten Commandments while endorsing banners in front of a school that
state, " "There is one God, Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet." This
is her ruling, upheld by the Ninth Circuit:
"Similarly, plaintiffs claimed in oral argument that the display of
the group banners showing portions of the Bismillah was analogous to
the display of the Ten Commandments in school classrooms, which has
been found unconstitutional. However, the display of the Ten
Commandments in a classroom setting was found unconstitutional because
the Supreme Court determined that upon objective review, the primary
purpose for their display was to endorse Christianity. Here, in
contrast, the primary purpose of the Islam module was the secular goal
of educating students about Islamic culture. Thus, even the display of
religious texts in a purely secular context will survive
Constitutional review as well." (pdf link below)
Clinton’s Presidential Guideline, "Religious Expression in Public
School," states: "Students generally do not have a Federal right to be
excused from lessons that may be inconsistent with their religious
beliefs or practices." Originally drafted with Abdurahman Alamoudi
(currently in prison for terrorist acts) and in the hands of the ACLU
and Judge Hamilton (appointed by Clinton), there went religious
freedom.
Thus, public school teachers can REQUIRE your child to take a
Muslim name, fast for Ramadan, repeat by heart for weeks that Allah is
the only god, that he alone they worship and display banners with the
same sentiments. One teacher required her students to recite the
prayer every time they exited the classroom for two weeks. What does
it take to become a Muslim? Reciting that prayer. Oh but wait, they
have to believe it…never mind then. That makes it okay that the last
words that some of our troops heard before beheading are the same
words our children pray on their hands and knees in public school.
ISLAM INDUCTION IN OUR TEXTBOOKS
Houghton Mifflin’s "Across the Centuries" underwent multiple
revisions led by Nader F. Darehshori, CEO, previously a school teacher
in Iran. In the Islam section among other practices, our children are
asked to assume they are Muslim soldiers. In the Jewish section, the
ONLY imagination practice is to imagine they are with the Jews when
they were conquered and forced to live away from their homeland. In
the Christian section, the ONLY imagination practice was to imagine
being in the buried catacombs of the dead Christians. (Christians/body
of Christ back in the tomb, how symbolic).
For a while, Houghton Mifflin posted denials that the Council of
Islamic Education contributed to the textbook. But then articles
quoting Abigail Jungreis, Editorial Director of HM were found on
Muslim sites applauding their input, especially information about the
Crusades…so for the Christian section our children are given
the Crusades from the Muslim perspective. Meanwhile the Islam section
states:
- "In fact, the very first word the angel Gabriel spoke to
Muhammad was recite." (in fact?)
- "These revelations confirmed both Muhammad’s belief in one God,
and his role as the last messenger in a long line of prophets sent
by God."
- "Muhammad’s revelations occurred from 610 until his death…"
- "The Quran is the final revelation, just as Muhammad is the
final prophet."
- "Ramadan is a holy time, because in this month Muhammad received
his first message from Allah."
- "Arabic lettering had a special significance for Muslims,
because it was used to write down God’s words as they had been given
to Muhammad."
- "The courtyard and Mosque allowed Muslims to feel Allah’s
invisible presence whether they were inside or outside the Mosque."
- "This caliph, Muslims realized, could not give the same kind of
spiritual leadership as Muhammad had. The new caliph would not be
the prophet of Allah, as Muhammad had been."
HM denied implying acceptance of Muhammad’s mission as the prophet
when a section was headed with "THE LIFE OF THE PROPHET" and listed
him as prophet 42 times!
To the average Christian, facts about Jesus in the Christian
section seem merely watered down. But if you study Islam you would
realize that what is written about Jesus is what Islam believes about
Jesus.
These are some of the reasons that Texas has taken a stand about
curriculum. Texas is the 2nd largest block in the market
and textbook publishers listen. But California is number one and is
currently passing laws blocking Texas changes. I urge everyone to
contact your state legislators and ask them to do to California what
California has done to Texas. Let the textbook publishers know your
state condemns the insanity that California has imposed. Do not let
California remain on the throne of public education. I live in
California. For the love of God, protect your children.
