Indoctrination in the public schools. This is, by far, the most dangerous and insidious forms of stealth jihad. Education about Islam is critical in order to prepare the next generation for the long war. Proselytizing (dawah) isn't teaching.
History books are scrubbed of centuries of jihad wars. There is no mention of hundreds of millions of vicitims of jihad wars, land appropriations, annihilations and enslavement. Current event courses omit the vicious persecution, oppression and slaughter of non-Muslims living in Muslim countries.
During the Republican primary race for President, I exposed an Islamophiliac curriculum instituted in Texas under Governor Rick Perry. Many of the weak and spinelesss in the right-wing blogosphere attacked me mercilessly. But they were wrong. I was right. This indoctrination is poison.

School Defends Textbook Calling Muhammad “God’s Messenger” Todd Starnes, FOX News August 3, 2013
School officials in Florida are defending a textbook that declares
Muhammad as the “Messenger of God” after critics accused an Islamic
education group of launching a stealth jihad in American public school
classrooms.The Prentice World History textbook being used in Brevard Public
Schools includes a 36-page chapter on Islam but no chapters on
Christianity or Judaism.
According to a copy obtained by Fox News, The ninth grade textbook
declares that Muhammad is the “Messenger of God” and instructs
students that jihad is a duty that Muslims must follow.“Jihad may be interpreted as a holy war to defend Islam and the
Muslim community, much like the Crusades to defend Christianity,” the
book states.The textbook published large passages from the Koran, but failed to
include any Scripture from the Bible. And while the book makes
declarations about Muhammad being God’s messenger, it does not make
declarations about Jesus being God’s son.“Some believed he was the messiah,” the textbook noted in an entry
about Jesus. The book noted that He was later executed, but failed to
mention His resurrection.Brevard Public Schools defended the textbook and said it provided a balanced view of world religions.
“An analysis of one textbook cannot provide a balanced understanding
as to what the students in Brevard Public Schools are learning
throughout their academic careers,” spokeswoman Michelle Irwin said in a
statement.
She
said the Prentice Hall World History textbook incorporated a review of
the origin of Christianity and Judaism – subjects covered indepth in
sixth grade classrooms.
She also pointed out the book was among those approved by the state
of Florida and that parents as well as community members were given the
opportunity to review the textbook before it was adopted.
The book has been used in the classroom for the past three years without any complaints – until now.
Susan Aspey, a spokeswoman for the book’s publisher, told Fox News the textbook is balanced.
“Pearson and its authors adhere to the highest editorial standards
when creating course materials, which undergo a rigorous review
process,” she said. “A review of the book shows there is balanced
attention given to the beliefs of Islam, Judaism and Christianity.
William Saxton, the chairman of Citizens For National Security, testified
before the Brevard, Fla. School Board, warning them that the book
rewrites Islamic history and presents a biased and incorrect version of
the Muslim faith.
“They promote Islam at the expense of Christianity and Judaism,”
Saxton told Fox News. “It blew my mind to see the kind of propaganda,
the pro-Islam information that’s in this book – at the expense of
Christianity and Judaism.”
Saxton said he believes the inclusion is deliberate and he placed the
blame an organization that was once called Council on Islamic
Education. The group works with education officials and publishers to
produce chapters on Islam for American textbooks.
But today, the Council on Islamic Education is known as the Institute on Religious and Civic Values. It’s founder, Shabbir Mansuri, is listed as an academic reviewer on the textbook used in Brevard County.
In 2001 the OC Weekly newspaper in
California interviewed Mansuri about comments former Second Lady Lynne
Cheney made lamenting the amount of time schools were spending teaching
cultures that were not American. Mansuri took her comments as a personal
attack.
“For the past 11 years, Mansuri has waged what he calls a
‘bloodless’ revolution: promoting an increased emphasis on world
cultures and faiths – including Islam – inside American junior high and
high school campuses,” the newspaper reported.
Saxton said he is highly suspicious of Mansuri’s organization and questioned why they changed their name.
“These people are dedicated to getting this language into the
textbooks,” he said, noting their new name is “benign and does not sound
“threatening or Islamic. “But the same people are running it.”
Saxton said they are hearing from concerned parents across the
country – and the complaints have generally been the same: public school
textbooks that favor Islam over other world religions.
“It’s a form of stealth jihad,” he said. “(Jihad) is not just blowing
up buildings. It’s more subtle. I began to understand that one of the
ways the bad guys are trying to threaten our way of life is through our
children. The Islamists want to get to the hearts and minds of our
kids.”
Saxton’s all-volunteer organization launched a nationwide study in
2009 to root out what they believed to be Islamic bias in American
school textbooks. He said they found as many as 80 textbooks that
overtly promoted Islam.
Last year, the Citizens For National Security was able to get a similar book removed from the classroom in Palm Beach County.
“In short, you are using an Islam-biased, flawed textbook that has
neither partially nor fully been corrected,” he told Brevard County
school leaders.
A spokesman for IRCV told Fox News they would agree to an interview but never returned repeated calls.
In 2009 Mansuri found himself facing similar accusations of promoting
and glorifying Islam – accusations he strongly denied in an Orange
County Register interview.
“IRCV is recognized within the education community for our expertise
in teaching about world religions,” he told the newspaper. “This
expertise stands from our long-standing interest in religious liberty,
religious pluralism and the practice of faith within a civic social
framework.”
He blamed the criticism on “children of 9-11,” who were miseducated, the newspaper reported.
Saxton said the Prentice Hall textbook is riddled with errors. He
especially took issue with their definition of jihad. The book called it
a personal duty for Muslims and a way to defend their faith.
“Violent Islamic groups have used jihad for centuries,” he said. “The
9-11 attacks were an example of jihad as terrorism, not self-defense.
Declarations of jihad have been made for purposes of violence against
Christians, Jews, Americans, British and fellow Muslims hundreds of
times.”
The textbook also alleges that “Muslims consider Jews and Christians to be ‘People of the Book.’”
Saxton said in practice, Jews and Christians have been subjected historically to violence and murder by Muslims.
“Christians and Jews are permitted very few of the rights and freedoms that the Muslim majority is allowed,” he said.
The textbook said under Islamic law women are spiritually equal, although they may have different roles and rights.
“This content is confusing at best and intellectually dishonest at
worst,” he said. In Egypt and other Arab countries, women may not be
employed in the private sector because they belong in the home. Women
are stoned to death under Sharia law in Iran for adultery.”
School Board member Amy Kneessy told Fox News she had a chance to
read the textbook and she was especially troubled by the section about
how Muslims treat women.
“I was really disheartened,” she said. “To see such a blatant
misportrayal of how women are treated in Muslim countries, I found
disconcerting.”
Kneessy said there seems to be a double-standard and found evidence
of bias in a number of passages – especially when it came to religious
wars.
“When wars were involving Jewish people or Christians, some very hard
adjectives were used – like ‘massacre,’” she said. “Whereas when it was
a Muslim group, it was ‘occupy’ or a very innocuous term.”
She said the school has an obligation to be fair and balanced when teaching history.
“War is never clean and tidy,” she said. “Wars are bloody. People die
and bad things happen. The facts need to be reported fairly from all
perspectives.”
Kneessy said she plans on asking the entire school board to reevaluate the textbook.
“I am concerned it is more ammunition that continues to water down
what this country was founded on,” she said. “This country was founded
with Christian values. God was very much a part of our government. When
you take the religious context out of it, then you take away the very
heart of what this country was founded on.”

What did we expect when we elected and re-elected a jihad master of muslim deceit president?
If anyone in the Florida media cares about America and our future they will denounce this shit.
This should be banner headlines and lead stories every day until we drive back obama by nasty camel to the shit-hole muslim world he emerged from, taking every muslim cocksucker and bitch in Florida and the rest of this country with him. Where they can concentrate on raping, beating and beheading each other and leave us — who value living in cooperation, peace and prosperity — alone!

It should be unacceptible to present the Muslim creation story [Muhammed in Mecca and Medina, etc.] in an educational context, without consideration of the evidence, or lack of it, on which it is based. (see Robert Spencer’s “Did Muhammad exist” — although the inherent implausibility of any kind of trading enter in the middle of a desert where practically nothing grows (Mecca) was obvious before Spencer’s book.

No. This is not stealth Islam. It’s stealth Fascism. Our schools are preparing the next generation to mindlessly accept, even laud authoritarianism, violent oppression, prejudice, and the obliteration of all our civil liberties without question or resistance.

You can bet howls of shrill hate would attend the teaching of G-D getting commandments from Him . The shear madness that would ensue in Courts, if Jesus was taught as the Son of G-D.
To have a koran in school is pleasing to progressives. The bible forbidden.
This is an inverted World now.
To be expected when the leader of the West is himself a Muslim. With an agenda of Sharia law.
How many Nations now are Sharia compliant because of war fought for them to implement it by the West? World wide.

Since you mentioned her…. she is dead. Murdered for money. Her, and one son, along with a granddaughter. The murderer had two accomplices, one of which was murdered as well. All of their bodies were eventually found, including the murdered accomplice, and discovered to have been cut up into small pieces. What’s more, the bulk of the theft consisted of over two hundred thousand dollars in gold coins, which a different set of thieves stole from the original thieves. The police failed to recover any of the money, except for one single gold coin. However, I was also interested to learn, another one of her sons declared himself a Christian in the 1980s. So his mother Madalyn denounced him utterly, calling it a “retroactive abortion.”

At this point in future history I see no other path to a one world government better than Islam. Before you think this is a positive statement about Islam it isn’t. It is actually a positive statement about Judaism and Christianity to the informed. Islam is the road to a one world government.

When the book of Revelation in the bible talks about a false prophet there is no doubt in my mind Muhammed qualifies,leading so many astra. A billion+ ? people have been deceived. This is why I write what I write in order give warning to at least 1 person they are doomed if they admire that religious system.
Remember the condition of our nation is a reflection of the condition of our churches and synagogues nation, if not worldwide. Not because some creep has managed to sneak in his despicable putrescence into a Florida text book. The creeps are always going to be on the offensive that was why there were the Crusades.

Brainwashing young children with a sugar coated version of Islam is being carried out by muslims via Interfaith groups (co-ordinating with schools) widely across the UK, encouraged by outside sources; government; Christian and other religious groups. This direct access to UK children gives muslims the access they need, not only to brainwash children but also for their recruiting process, ie converts/reverts (Da’wah). Easy pickings.
One such Interfaith group is: ‘Building Bridges Pendle’ based in Nelson, Lancashire (Lancashire and surrounding areas are now very highly populated muslims areas)
Not only do I find Building Bridges Pendle’s, Interfaith project, ‘Schools Education Project’ a concern, but the muslims involved are closely affiliated to Islamists.
Part of Building Bridges Pendle’s Interfaith ‘project’ – ‘Schools Education Project’ is as set out below:

In-depth research/scrutiny needs to be undertaken. People and parents, they need to stay alert as to what is being force-fed their children under the guise of ‘Interfaith’, ‘cohesion’, ‘building bridges’ etc.
And, just because a website or a group may mention they have been approved by Ofsted etc – beware, this means nothing. Ofsted are no longer worth the paper they are written on, even they (Ofsted) have been infiltrated by radical islamists http://olehgirl.com/?p=5218 and http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/8114452/Ofsted-praises-Islamic-schools-which-oppose-Western-lifestyle.html).

It is no longer cool to have a beard.
“The treatment has changed for the worse,” said Osama Ibrahim, an imam at a Cairo mosque that caters to hard-line Islamists.
The nation’s turmoil has seeped into his daily life in the Cairo neighborhood of Ain Shams, he said. “On the metro, they call us names. People come up to us and say, ‘How are you, Sheik Morsi?’” he said.
He said his wife, who wears a face veil, saw men in their neighborhood yank the veil off another woman draped in black. At another point, local men stopped the couple’s car and barred them from entering a marketplace, Ibrahim said, because of the way they were dressed.
“You have to understand: The minibuses don’t even stop for me anymore,” he said.

The same people who have raped and kidnapped young Christian girls in Egypt and other muslim nations and then beat them until they agree to convert to islam?
The same people who drag Christians out of their homes, murder them and then burn their houses?
The same people who trap Egyptian Christians in their churches and then burn them alive inside?
The same people who claim they were attacked when they argue on the internet?
The same people who promise to cut off the heads of anyone who does not submit to their demon god?
The same people who dream of the murder of every Jew and Christian on the planet?
Oh man! I’ll take his word about the minibuses and his wife about the scare tugging. They are well know to lie to further their agendas. So no, I do not believe them.

Public schools did the same thing in regard to homosexual conduct. Teaching the young that it is normal so I am in no way surprised that public schools teach these lies about Islame.

Hmmm. Very interesting.
You know, when I was in college I used to talk to the Bahai people. Their stated plan was to bring about a person they themselves called the ANTICHRIST, to destroy Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, by installing someone called “Matreah” onto the world stage (don’t know if that’s spelled right), who would act as a “Messiah” and eventually rule the world. The Third Temple was part of their plan, although I heard nothing of them being part of the rebuilding. There IS a huge Bahai Temple in Israel, near Tel Aviv, so that’s kind of weird. Are they just sitting there waiting and plotting? Creepy.
Many good Jewish people want the Temple back so they can be observant, but they also believe it will usher in the Messiah. I’m one who doesn’t think that, because I see a lot of room for being made political chumps by people like the Bahais and Soros et al.
Had no idea Soros was actually investing in the Bahai gig. He helped get Obama in power, but then had to shrink back into the shadows. This made him quite unhappy, so he probably can’t wait to go for bigger fish. The thing about Soros is that he would have necessarily linked sexual charge (age 13-15) to the destruction of Jewish families, which then became a bedrock of his personality. He affirms himself by tricking people and destroying them–especially Americans and Jews. So if he is involved in the Third Temple thing, I am in NO way surprised.
In any event, it will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

“Islam is the road to a one world government.”
I think you’re onto something there… And after the NWO types have built up the Moslems, they will seek to divert their allegiance to the Matreah person, yet to be revealed. Kind of reads like a bad movie script. Too bad it’s most likely true.

Thanks for the reply. From what I understand something like 10% of the upper UN staff and administers are Baha’i. Don’t really know. However, Soros’s dad was big into Esprato (SP) a universal language create by pointed headed intellectuals in Russia in the end of the 19th century. Soros’s dad taught GEORGE and Soros has spent millions convertin ALL of the Bahia beliefs into that Universal Language. So if Soros git’s his way, well ALL be forced to speak that language also. Anyone know if Soros’ kids speak Esperato?

Barbaric mass murderer and HUGE slave trader, founder of Islam, Mohammad, murdered 700 Jewish men and seized the Jews’ wives and children for slaves because the Jews would not follow any other god except our Glorious, Awesome Magnificent Creator.
Mohammad married a six year old child and perpetrated sex on the little girl when she was only nine years old. Mohammad is regarded as the perfect man and role model by devout Muslims who follow Islam. Will Florida’s schools teach these FACTS to Florida’s students? No way.
Florida’s school are LYING and deliberately DECEIVING for totalitarian Islam. Are they paid by Saudia Arabia to LIE and DECEIVE for Islam or are they volunteering their services for free in the cause of world Islamic conquest?

I think its time to do what teachers and unions do: ALL the parents in several states and counties need to time it all together and strike by pulling ALL their children OUT of schools in protest. When there are no kids showing up for class…THIS should send a BIG message on how parents and Americans feel about Islam in our schools. BOYCOTT ISLAM being taught in our school systems or roll over and be force fed….

Public schools don’t say homosexuality is normal, just tolerance.
