Of course, the day I don’t post anything is the day the dreaded InstaPundit links to me on his front page. Twice. (So that’s why our traffic is through the roof today. Hi Cecilia, if you read this.)

But here’s a very scary article at the Washington Post about what’s being taught at madrassas . . . in America.

Eleventh-graders at the elite Islamic Saudi Academy in Northern Virginia study energy and matter in physics, write out differential equations in precalculus and read stories about slavery and the Puritans in English.Then they file into their Islamic studies class, where the textbooks tell them the Day of Judgment can’t come until Jesus Christ returns to Earth, breaks the cross and converts everyone to Islam, and until Muslims start attacking Jews.
