Islam studies required in California district
Course has 7th-graders memorizing Koran verses, praying to Allah

worldnetdaily.com

In the wake of Sept. 11, an increasing number of California public school students must attend an intensive three-week course on Islam, reports ASSIST News Service.

The course mandates that seventh-graders learn the tenets of Islam, study the important figures of the faith, wear a robe, adopt a Muslim name and stage their own jihad. Adding to this apparent hypocrisy, reports ANS, students must memorize many verses in the Koran, are taught to pray "in the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful" and are instructed to chant, "Praise to Allah, Lord of Creation."

"Indians are very savvy re gold and silver. They buy low and pawn it high. "

I can't speak about silver. I can say there is a lot of under karating for gold in India. That is an ethics problem in my opinion.
