Taxpayer-Funded Islam
Not only are we committing cultural suicide, we're funding it. Investor's Business Daily has a piece on a Minnesota Madrassa -- or, rather, a publicly funded charter school that Muslim radicals have turned into a Madrassa:
Flagrantly violating the constitutional ban on state promotion of religion, the Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy, or TIZA, herds children into bathrooms to perform ritual Islamic cleansing before leading them into the school gym to pray to Allah each day.
In three visits to the K-8 school, the Minnesota Department of Education never noticed a problem, even though the tax-funded school is located at a mosque. And the ACLU didn't bother until a Minneapolis columnist exposed the madrassa earlier this week.
"It appears the school may be impermissibly blurring the line between providing a secular education and endorsing and promoting religion and religious activities," said Charles Samuelson, who heads the group's Minnesota office.
Blurring the line? It has erased it. There's overwhelming evidence the public school's endorsing the Islamic faith, including:
• Daily scheduled prayer led by an imam.
• Classroom instruction in the Quran.
• Compulsory "after-school" Islamic Studies classes (buses don't leave the school until after Islamic Studies is over).
• Halal cafeteria food.
• Observance of Islamic holidays.
• Early release for Friday mosque.
Forced conversion is a genuine concern at TIZA. How many of its 300 students have recited the shahada, or Islamic profession of faith, without their parents' consent? Radicalization also is a worry. Are Muslim boys being indoctrinated into violent jihad?
The school, named after an 8th century jihadist who invaded Spain, shares the headquarters building of the Muslim American Society (MAS) of Minnesota, whose mission is "establishing Islam in Minnesota." The FBI says MAS, based in Washington, D.C., was founded by members of the radical Muslim Brotherhood.
What's more, the school is sponsored by Islamic Relief, a Muslim charity identified by the U.S. Treasury as an al-Qaida front group.
And let's call Islam what it is, shall we? The religion of violent Jihad, as commanded in the Quran. This is what they're teaching young kids -- on the taxpayer dime.
This school should be shut down immediately and those in Islamic Relief should be jailed or deported. I'm guessing at least some of them aren't citizens, since we're very busy laying out the welcome mat for those who want to kill us all and put an end to our society.
How can we change our immigration policy so we stop letting in the disease that will eventually be the death of western values and those of us who don't go for the Allah business?
thanks, Ken
Islamic Relief USA (IR-USA) is located in Buena Park, California, .... The corporate address of IR-USA is in Burbank, California.
I don't have the knowledge or time to adequately read and understand this article (I have a bit of forced hospitalization downtime coming up in my near future.) But these two sentences stood out for me.
Amy, you've been in Southern California for enough time, what other multi-national organization that has been blamed for subverting societies world wide is based in Buena Park and Burbank?
Could this just be coincidence? I am doubtful.

Well, Jerry, always let your conscience be your guide.

I think calling Islam a religion is a mistake. It's a religious totalitarianism, "a system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state."
See the definition of totalitarianism and ask yourself if it fits Islam.
We will need to fight it like we fought communism.

See I find her comments less worrying then the fact that I could get arrested for mocking her comments. I am a firm believer in in Free Speech taking the quote "I may not like what you are saying but I'll die to defend your right to say it" to heart.
So as far as I'm concerned she can write all the stupid religious nutbaggery that she likes.
As long as I get to call her an idiot for doing so.
And that's where the problem seems to be.

As long as we go along with this diversity/multi-culturalism crap, this will happen.
Stop voting for Democrats. Stop supporting PC.

Great idea, I think we can outspend them in about a year.
That'll put an end to it.

The UK government is now spending money on a de-radicalisation scheme to prevent and reverse radicalisation of young muslims.
"One product of this approach has been the official support for the Radical Middle Way website, which provides a platform for Muslim scholars to speak to young British Muslims. The home secretary, Jacqui Smith, said the aim of the strategy was to stop people getting involved in extremist violence."
