Pamela Geller, American Thinker: Islamizing the Schools: The Case of West Virginia

While shocking, what is happening in West Virginia is happening is not the exception, but the rule.

Islamizing the Schools: The Case of West Virginia

By Pamela Geller, American Thinker: 
This is an outrage, but it is common nationwide: the Daily Caller News Foundation reports that Mountain Ridge Middle School in West Virginia is “instructing junior high students to write the Islamic profession of faith ostensibly to practice calligraphy.”  Students are made to write out the Shahada, which states: “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”This is exactly what I warned about in my book, Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance, in the chapter “The Mosqueing of the Public Schools.”In order to convert to Islam, one says the shahada.  Saying the shahada makes you a Muslim.  The shahada is what is on the black flag of jihad.

No non-Muslim student should be forced to write or say the shahada without the qualifier “Muslims believe that…”  This is because it is a statement of faith.  If the school exercise is requiring students to write it, it should be clear from the wording of the exercise that this is Islamic faith, not the student’s faith.  That distinction has been glossed over in many, many school textbook presentations.

Story continues below advertisement

This is in West Virginia, not Baghdad.  And it’s a problem not just in West Virginia – it’s a national problem.

Rich Penkoski, the father of a Mountain Ridge student, contacted me and explained the situation further.  He sent me the packets the school gave out for the Jewish and the Christian lessons and commented:

Notice no bible verses, no reciting the 10 commandments or the Lord’s prayer.  No practicing writing in Hebrew (not even the 10 commandments) as compared to the Islamic packet.

There are no statements of faith, nothing asking the students to write it or practice in any of the Jewish or Christian rituals.

Furthermore the principal of Mountain Ridge Middle School Dr. Branch has used my words against me by saying the teacher did tell the students about the Lord’s prayer (my daughter as well as 1 other said this is false)[.]  He is using my arguments I made to him yesterday to protect the teacher.

The teacher today told the students the assignment was optional.  My daughter as well as other students were under the impression all the packet assignments were mandatory (the Jewish one and the Christian ones were mandatory).

I wrote to Dr. Branch to share with him the resource that Miss Hinson used and point out that the material she gave the students did not include all the faith aspects for Christianity.  The students received 2 pages for Christianity from this resource while all the Islamic sections were left intact.

Here’s the link for you to review.  You will notice all the faith elements were left out for Judaism and Christianity while the Islamic section was left the way it’s presented.

https://www.gvsd.org/cms/lib/PA01001045/Centricity/Domain/610/World%20Religions.pdf

So she decided to use the extra resources for Islam and the school is saying that’s not indoctrination or proselytizing?  The faith aspects and the same considerations were not given to the others as they were for Islam.  This actually further proves my point that Islam was afforded special privilege over the others.

The school is backtracking and being deceptive to try and weasel out of this.  The teacher today clarified things for the students but that still does not excuse the fact that they are teaching the Islamic faith and asking the kids to participate in Sharia.  Look at the Islamic packet again.  They are asking the kids to write the beginning of Surahs.  The teacher still has not corrected the error that calligraphy was started by the arabs.

They are doubling down and only after being called on it are they trying to backtrack.

Rich Penkoski is hardly the first to protest this egregious submission to the most vicious and brutal ideology on the face of the Earth.  In Volusia County, Florida, hundreds protested Islamic lessons in their  “World History” text, a Common Core-approved high school history textbook.

With an entire chapter dedicated to the virtues of Islam and not a single chapter for Christianity, the textbook had Floridians in a frenzy.  And who is the biggest pusher of Common Core besides leftist progressives?  The Islamic Society of North America, a Muslim Brotherhood front group, along with the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).  In Florida, CAIR is on the offensive (more here).

We have seen the increasing Islamization of the public-school curriculum.  History lessons in Islam are dawah – proselytizing for Islam.  Large public-school publishers have been bought by the Saudis.

In West Virginia, it gets even worse.  Rich Penkoski has alerted me to the latest development in the forced Islamization of his children’s school curriculum: after the Daily Caller and Geller Report exposed what was happening, Mountain Ridge administrators and teachers began messaging parents who were sharing the story, asking them to remove their posts.

What do they have to hide?  Apparently, a great deal.

Worse still, Penkoski is now being threatened by students who attend the school with his daughter.  (And who is behind them?  Unidentified “adult friends.”)

He sent this message to me:

A student in the school threatened to get her adult friends to come to my home and kill me by stabbing me in the chest and ripping my organs out.  They told my daughter “we are gonna get some people and kill your dad.”  This student, who is known to me but whom I cannot name because she is a minor, has given students our address and is encouraging them to come to my home over this whole thing.  Another student told my daughter that she and the first student and her adult friends are going to kill me and carve a satanic star in my chest and rip out my organs.

They then threatened to hang my 3-year-old and 1-year-old and kidnap my 14-year-old.

All this in school today because of the articles.

This is not a joke and needs to be investigated.  I have contacted the school’s principal, Dr. Branch, and I trust that he will take this matter seriously and deal with it appropriately.

Is the principal acting on this?  And do the police have any interest in this?  Or would that be “islamofauxbic”?

You can’t. Muslim countries have been literally pouring money into OUR education since the 1970’s. They are well entrenched. Under Obama, it became more obvious as he elevated Islam in Common Core. Common Core has not gone away. Some have renamed it but the BOOKS are still the same. They just go to the next edition of the book.

One thing that is sort of easy to do is to NOT vote for muslims in ANY election for ANY office. Then there are the muslim teachers. They “groom” much like pedophiles are always accused of grooming their targets. But the public schools administrators look the other way since they are being “fair” and “inclusive.” These teachers hold lunch-time sessions for impressionable kids where they portray mohammed the murderer an child molester as the maligned party. In cartoons, no less! Remember that part of “Pinochio” where all of the truant boys start turning into donkeys? That was the warning. It is happening now and it won’t have a happy ending.

In any country that is not Islamic, nice or nasty, Islamists are not your friends.
(and in Islamic countries, you had better be the right sort of Muslim!)
Their one aim is to replace you and everything that is your Cultural Heritage!
If you value your Identity, they are your mortal enemies! They despise you!
Cancer, just waiting to metastasize, is an excellent analogy!
For any Western (or non-Mozlem indigenous!) culture to survive, it must first be Legally declared, that the Tyrannical,
Theocratic Ideology, Islam/Mohammedanism, is not a RELIGION.
N.B, Neither is it a RACE!
Is YOUR Cultural Inheritance, of NO value, Not worth saving?
If they remain, they could be awarded, ‘DHIMMI’, status?

…the only comforting thing….if or when the Muslims take over….the first people they slaughter are the Dhimmis….because they rightly discern that if the Dhimmi would turn against their own people the likelihood that they will do the same to them in the future is enough to behead them…….

I wouldn’t mind if public schools and institutions of “higher learning” were to teach the truth about the damned, dumb, violent, vile, fascist, totalitarian, Jew hating death cult called islam instead of islamic propaganda.
As it is I’m tired of my tax dollars being extorted from me by a corrupt government to finance the islamization of the USA.

I think a big chunk of the money for this underhanded proselytizing is coming from that American loving good friend – Saudi Arabia – you know the one who sent those young men to help fly some airplanes one day. With most state wide governments so desperate for funds, like a junkie to free drugs they readily took the lifeline offered, no questions asked. ” But that’s not the honourable thing to do ” you might say and then just as quickly remind yourself ” Oh yeah, politicians “.
How wide open is the gate ? Using the laws and weaknesses to their advantage, they have walked right into all the core institutions, just like the Muslim Brotherhood papers said they would do as discovered during the ” Holy Land Foundation ” trial in the early 2000’s. But good ole’ Bobby Mueller sure used his power as then FBI head to show them a thing or two,… right ? Actually he kissed their asses so hard it flattened his face to this day. Was it ignorance, arrogance or part of a plan.
The official story is they attacked America on 9/11, they regularly denounced her as the Great Satan and proclaimed their desire to destroy her, and after finding bona fide evidence of a seditious plan to undermine her at every level, you send a handful of the guilty to jail and you do nothing to dismantle the network they established. As Pamela has pointed out, this encompasses all schools at every level in every state. How about a special counsel ask Mueller why he failed to take appropriate action against a proven enemy. Just like in Canada, the seeds of destruction have already been sown, but hey, Sunday football’s on, I gotta go.

Of course it is coming from Saudi Arabia, and the total embargo of those “educational” funds should be central to that country’s punishment for the Kashoggi murder and dismemberment.

Because of those ‘separation of church & state’ court rulings which took away “Do not murder,” I’m certain those pub. schools are not allowed to teach the tenets of the murderous religion.

The seeds of this hatred were planted long ago. Jesus foretold it and He and many of His followers were put to death as a result .A more recent exponent of the hatred was Bella Dodd who in the 30’s arranged for the infiltration of 1100 homosexuals and assorted deviants into catholic seminaries. The fruits of their labors have been a spectacular success for those who seek to destroy the church. They had such a profound influence on Vatican 2 and also the erroneous liberation theology which has at least in part influenced the wayward Pope Francis.

The LEFT hates Christianity so much they push Islam. Much of it is done in sheer ignorance. Out country is founded on Judeo Christian principles and they reject ALL of those principles. Either atheism or Islam is viewed as a replacement. Understand that liberals are very dumb people. Liberals have no substance.

Sorry to say but many Jews are anti-Christian – like the ACLU run by liberal godless Jews and now Muslims have infiltrated the ACLU. The ACLU is anti-American. Naturally Ms. Geller is not like that and I hope she is able to make inroads with more people and especially the Jewish people.

Wrong.. There are many organizations that will take the case for nothing. Not the ACLU which is a leftist shill for Islam. Try Jay Sekulow’s organization – contact the law firm of David Yerushalmi, if he won’t take the case he will guide you to someone who will. He has won several such cases . Ask for guidance from Pamela Geller- she is great and really knows her way around.

First….I am not wrong. You have no idea of my background and the battles I’ve fought for abused elderly…. I finally -after five years of working on it- MAY get justice for an abused and neglected elderly person in TN…..I contacted most of the organizations that “advocate” for the elderly….including the DOJ who could have cared less, State, Federal, and local officials.
All frauds…get public and private money to do their job…and then they don’t do their job…..

Now the elderly person is dead and the autopsy was horrific and the stuff of nightmares…all done to him by “family”…….that man was my Father.

So don’t lecture me about who does what for who…..it’s not always true. And when this case is over I will be writing a book about what is happening to the elderly in this country by telling my Dad’s story and who is responsible…..in my Dad’s case I have kept ALL court records of how I and other siblings tried to rescue him five years ago and the corruption that stopped us….even from even seeing him the last five years of his life. I will be publishing actual court records to support my book as factual and true.

While I highly respect Mr. Sekulow and wish Trump would dump Swamp Sissy Sessions and put Sekulow in there….they have much bigger fish to fry at this time in our history and a kind old man who was horribly abused for five years in a small town in TN…is not where they want to be spending their resources right now.

The other option for this family in WV is to TAKE THEIR KID(S) OUT OF PUBLIC INDOCTRINATION CAMPS! Homeschooling is the ONLY WAY you can insure your kids are not corrupted by the systems like the Millennials of today….I homeschooled and it worked out awesome!

Why don’t they teach the kids the truth, that Muslims travel to Mecca to kiss a black stone because sometime in the 5th century, the Kaaba was a place of worship for their evil deities (over 360) of Arabia’s pagan tribes, subsequently removed them from the unholy site to hide the true evil foundation of Satan’s followers.

Yes & no because there are parents who do not attend to their child’s religious instruction therefore leave the child open to being influenced by secular school educators. Western countries banned school prayers 50 years ago thereby spawning godless human beings devoid of faith and a moral compass, vulnerable to powerful spiritual forces filling in the void. All human beings seek to find purpose and meaning in life & when God is expelled then Satan arrives to take over. Thank God I completed junior school before they banned God.

Actually, Real Faith is not a religious matter, but a very human one. Faith is one of the primary things that separates humans from animals.

Real Faith is the Power behind True Objectivity, the act of knowing something for sure instead of just having a view or an opinion. True Objectivity is not a shared trait. One person cannot develop it on behalf of a collective. Each individual much personally develop his own.

That is why The Ten Commandments mostly begin with “Thou shalt” rather than “Ye shall”. Each must individually take responsibility for doing them, diligently and cheerfully, or they shall remain merely words etched into a heart of stone.

God was banned from schools 50 years ago so it’s not hard to work out who is taking over now…..s a t a n, but he will never be banned because people are easily fooled, after all, he is the Father of Lies and the Great Deceiver. All of this is outlined in Revelations, it’s comforting to know he will be defeated eventually, but end times are playing out now so more reason to instruct your children in God’s truth as the school system certainly won’t.

The public schools have been indoctrination centers for Socialist ideas for a while; but this exceeds that by a mile. It does not appear these students are given an opportunity to “Just Say No”; but are being force-fed the Islamic religion. I’m wondering what the religious practices are of those “teachers”; or if THEY are being forced to feed this to the children.
