We have come a long way, not sure it is in the right direction. During WWII many Japanese citizens were put into camps, not being trusted after the attack on Pearl Harbor. A radical move that didn't please anyone but at least we knew that our government realized who the enemy was. I am not saying we should lock up all Muslims, but I am saying we don’t need to become a doormat either.
Now on the other hand, Allah is breaking new ground in our school systems. A good friend of mine is having a bad experience her 7th grader came home with a copy of the Koran and speaking of the deity in terms of Allah. Correction this is a quote "The Quran was passed around by a muslim speaker so the children could see the Quran. It wasn't taken home. It was passed around along with a muslim prayer mat and various worship materials that muslims use. The 5 pillars of Islam were brought home. Page after page of the 5 pillars."
How could this happen? Our school systems are not even allowed to pray as was once the custom , a very innocuous prayer that didn't offend anyone, didn't praise Jesus that made my mother very happy, for we are Jewish. I grew up with a fine set of moral values despite such a despicable act, for shame starting the day with a prayer.
Although it will be costly and time consuming, I fear not that my friend will eventually win. At this point her concerns have been poo-pooed at the school level but escalated to the Superintendent, then I assume the school board and then court if necessary. She has done quite well on her own, but of course I offered advice for what ever that may be worth. Personally, if I had to watch my school department everyday to insure they were not indoctrinating my child, I would pull them out in a New York moment and home school. Truth be know, that is much better anyway. Now a days there is a whole social order to home schooling that includes field trips and sporting events for a well rounded child.
This problem is bad enough from a pure Constitutional level, if it is good enough for atheist to change our schools, we sure should be able to save our children from the wrath that is Islam. Most exported Islamic dogma is Wahhabi with a Saudi Arabian twist. Wahhabi at its root isn’t terrible, some of our closest allies in the Middle East such as Kuwait and Qata are mostly Wahhabi. But the House of Saud has a twist that includes hate and terror in their brand of Wahhabi. Which in the final analysis is going to bring the House of Saud down like a house of cards. The estimates range from about $70 billion to about $500 billion has been spent on exporting this vile doctrine to Europe, the Middle East and Northern Africa and most probably the USA.
It is hard to say the source of what is being taught to my friend’s daughter but whatever it is, it isn’t very American at a time when a radical sector of Islam is trying to destroy us. Saudi dogma isn’t the only Islamic subset that is bent on regaining their world domination. Iran embraces the 1400 year old Shi’ite dogma about the return of the Twelfth Iman. Without getting into detail it basically is apocalyptic and from the ashes(which Iran will gladly supply), this Iman will reappear. What seems to separate this from some other religious dogma is that Iran is quite willing to induce this apocalyptic condition.
I am assuming this will be one of many posts on this subject. We will welcome any insight on how to navigate these waters. Not sure if a letter campaign would help. If my friend thinks it will help, maybe we can try that. I suggested that she give the story to every news outlet, radio show and internet news provider. That can’t hurt. Any advice legal or otherwise will be appreciated
