american madrassas

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.

Hit the tip jar!

Who writes out differential equations in precalc? That comes later.

And exactly who is funding this school?

(all together now...)

Would a private school teaching the views of the KKK (against AfAms) or Nazis (against Jews) be allowed to continue ? The Education Laws and "Hate Spreach" Laws should be used to force revision of the books and teachings of these schools. "Religious" Instruction should not be allowed to be used as a cover for brain washing children.
If this sort of garbage is "preached" from the pulpit we may well be handcuffed (as perhaps we should be) but "not in our Country" should be our motto on this "Hate" export from Saudi Arabia!
We need local DA's (with a set of large ones) to take the initiative and commence prosecutions against these institutions.
