kumar...I was trying to be polite...here's what the article said...(also see the ISA site itself... there is more info there!) I don't believe ANY other school in the US teaches ANYTHING of the sort in the US about ANY other country or religion....and I sure don't think this one should be teaching ANYTHING like this, ESPECIALLY on American soil!!! n they file into their Islamic studies class, where the textbooks tell them the Day of Judgment can't come until Jesus Christ returns to Earth, breaks the cross and converts everyone to Islam, and Muslims start attacking Jews.

kumar. When you started off your post you said...." <Especially if those schools taught that Islam was doomed...>".... Why don't you use the entire statement that the poster said. IMO there is absolutely nothing wrong with this statement ......." One just has to ask if Saudi would allow religious schools to teach in Saudi Arabia? Especially if those schools taught that Islam was doomed...and worse.".... Would it be too much to ask non-muslims to practice the same, and not use phrases like "Islam was doomed" ?"..... Would it be to much to ask of moslems to stop saying, and teaching little kids the following...." The 11th-grade textbook, for example, says one sign of the Day of Judgment will be that Muslims will fight and kill Jews, who will hide behind trees that say: "Oh Muslim, Oh servant of God, here is a Jew hiding behind me. Come here and kill him." Several students of different ages, all of whom asked not to be identified, said that in Islamic studies, they are taught that it is better to shun and even to dislike Christians, Jews and Shiite Muslims. Message 18450461 It is my understanding that this crap is taught in the USA and other civilized countries. Radical moslems have been using the politically correct nature of western countries as a weapon to spread their brand of islam. You said..." We all hope and expect the muslim community worldwide to teach more moderate principles in their schools.".... I assume from this that you agree that islam is teaching a lot of crap in western societies? I don't think we should all just HOPE that it will stop, All free sane people must insist that it STOP.
