In Our Schools - Teaching Johnny About Islam
On this issue, I've sped right past "confused" to "disbelief"...
Investors Business Daily reports:
In a recent federal decision that got surprisingly little press, even from conservative talk radio, California's 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled it's OK to put public-school kids through Muslim role-playing exercises, including:
"Reciting aloud Muslim prayers that begin with 'In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful . . . .'"
"Memorizing the Muslim profession of faith: 'Allah is the only true God and Muhammad is his messenger.'"
"Chanting 'Praise be to Allah' in response to teacher prompts."
"Professing as "true" the Muslim belief that "The Holy Quran is God's word."
