This is outrageous....?

Question

Why has the New York City Department of Education decided to open an Islamist public school whose curriculum shares the same ideology as the September 11 terrorists? Six years after the attacks and still no memorial at Ground Zero, instead 2007 will see the opening of the taxpayer funded Brooklyn based madrassah aka "The Khalil Gibran International Academy for Arabic and Islamic Culture." Slated to be the school's principal, Dhabah [aka "Debbie"] Almontaser was presented an award by the Council on American Islamic Relations [CAIR, the Saudi funded front group for Hamas and a co-defendant in a 9/11 terrorism lawsuit] and more importantly, the curriculum of her school has been designed by the radical American Arab Anti Discrimination Committee [ADC].

Whatever happened to the seperation of church and state? How can we be funding a specifically religious school with government funds? Especially a school that will be run by Hamas sympathizers?

Answer 1

I'm British but I read your post and I am horrified.

Here in the UK we are having massive problems because the powers-that-be bend over backwards to placate the Muslim community - while accusing everyone else of racism if a single critical remark is made of Islam.

I'm very sorry that you are now perhaps starting to follow us down this path - I would suggest you organise a petition or something about this school.

Here in London there were plans to build the largest mosque in Europe; it would have held 70,000 worshippers. But so many people signed a petition that now it may be on hold.

I also agree totally with the person who answered above about Holocaust education in the UK being cancelled because it 'upsets' Muslims. They claim the Holocaust never happened - and our educational authorities are so terrified of 'offending' them that now some classes are not teaching history properly!

I am writing to my local politician about this because I find it really troubling.

May I also recommend a brilliant book for anyone in America who is worried about the appeasement of the Muslim community. The book is by a very well respected British journalist and it details how, since the 1970s, the British government allowed London to be used as a recruiting ground for Islamic terrorist groups. The author is Melanie Phillips and the book is 'Londonistan'.

Answer 2

I get tired of hearing about the separation of church and state all the time. However I am also tired of all the reverse discrimination. As a white christian male, I believe that a lot of laws and policies that apply to me are bent or completely overlooked when other races or religions are involved. I would have no problem with an Islamic publicly funded school if there could be a christian public school also. But this will never happen. Where I live, the schools don't even really celebrate Christmas anymore. They have a "winter party" and a "winter" break. In an area where over 95% of the people have christian beliefs and do celebrate Christmas it only seems logical to me that the school system should acknowledge the core values of it's community, but they won't. It seems th ACLU is discriminatory too as they plan on taking no action in this situation. I am fed up with having to bow down to everyone else while white christians are being treated like second class citizens. As another example I point out the United ***** College Fund. I there was a nationally recognized scholarship program open only to white people, can you imagine the uproar. Why is dicrimination OK as long as it is against white people.

Answer 3

I support the separation of church and state, period. Some state funded schools in Great Britain are trying to remove the holocaust from their textbooks because they offend the Muslim students. That is also outrageous.

Answer 4

You want separation of Church and State when it is convenient, and culturally fashionable.

Have you ever railed against the phrase "under God" being artlessly wedged into the Pledge of Allegience?

Or is it only YOUR God you consider acceptable.

This school does not teach jihad...or Islamic extremism.

Sorry we cannot work up the same froth as you regarding such matters.

Answer 5

I was thinking of starting a religion that preaches smacking liberal extremist with a 2x4 until they can think straight. Can I get federal funding to spread the word and be protected with freedom of religion when I knock some sense into those who carry tolerance way too far.

Answer 6

I agree with the seperation of church and state - just wondering why you take such offence when the religon in question is Islam but ignore it when it is Christianity?

Answer 7

Khill Gibran was a Lebanese christian, who wrote a book called the PROFIT based on JESUS ! stop uneducated assumptions or prove it with a source !

Answer 8

and you can thank the liberals for allowing this type of madness.
