Welcome To Islam
Could you imagine the outcry if textbooks given to Jewish children asked them to list the "reprehensible" qualities of Christians? Well, that's what a textbook used by Muslim children in the UK asks them to do about the Jews. Ella Pickover writes for the Independent:
Around 5,000 Muslim school children are taught from text books which claim that some Jews were transformed into pigs and apes, the penalty for sodomy is execution and teach the correct ways to chop off the hands and feet of thieves, according to Panorama...A spokesman for the programme said the pupils, aged six to 18, attend a network of more than 40 weekend schools across the UK which offer to teach the Saudi national curriculum to Muslim children.
Investigators found one book for children as young as six which asks them what happens to someone who dies who is not a believer in Islam. The correct answer is "hellfire".
They also found a text for pupils aged 15 which teaches about Sharia law and its punishments. It reads: "For thieves their hands will be cut off for a first offence, and their foot for a subsequent offence."
Programme makers said there are accompanying diagrams showing children where the cuts must be made.
Well, at least the children are learning something in school!

Absofuckinglutely. Any citizen who doesn't think they're lucky as hell to be American is an idiot. (Just yesterday, I was reading at an exhibit about people imprisoned in the Bastille for insulting the king or not being religious.)
