Can ANYONE even imagine what would happen if the US OK'd any of these statements in any of our books for students....?????

>>>>>>>A schoolbook for fifth graders instructs the students:

The religions which people follow on this earth are many, but the only true religion is the religion of Islam. As for the other religions, they are false as mentioned in the Koran (the Sura of Aal Umran Verse 85): "And whoever follows a religion that is not Islam, it will not be accepted from him and in the Hereafter he will be of the losers." The religion of Islam we know from the Koran and the Hadiths about the Prophet. The whole world should convert to Islam and leave its false religions lest their fate will be hell. As mentioned in the Koran (the Sura of Al-Nihal Verse 125): "[I swear] by Him who holds Muhammad's soul in his hand that not one Jew or Christian who had heard me and did not believe in the message that I was sent with shall die without being one of those whose fate is hell."

The students are then asked to respond "yes" or "no" to the question of whether the Islamic religion is the only road to heaven and whether other religions bestow eternal damnation on their adherents.

Incitement to violence against non-Muslims also appears in textbooks............
