Schoolhouse Shariah in California

Topics:

The Multiculturists are at it again in California, revising history and pushing an unbalanced religious agenda that favors Islam and minimizes Christianity and Judaism. And guess who helped build the California Education Department's framework for Islamic studies: The Islamist "scholars" with the Council on Islamic Education, or CIE, a Saudi-tied activist group:

[...] The lesson guidelines adopted by the bellwether state whitewash the violence and oppression of women codified in Islamic law, or Shariah. And they're loaded with revisionist history about the faith.

For example, the suggested framework glorifies Shariah as a liberal reform movement that "rejected" the mistreatment of women that existed in Arabia before Muhammad and his successors conquered the region, according to Accuracy in Academia. The guidelines claim that Islamic law established for the first time that men and women were entitled to equal "respect."

[...] California's course on world religions also omits Islam's long history of jihadist violence, while portraying Christianity as an intolerant and bloodthirsty faith.

Christianity isn't given equal time, either. It's covered in just two days â€" as opposed to up to two weeks for Islam â€" and doesn't involve kids in any role-playing activities like the Islam unit.

Students do get a healthy dose of skepticism about the Christian faith, including a biting history of its persecution of other people.

Islam, in contrast, gets a pass from critical review. Even jihad is presented as an "internal personal struggle to do one's best to resist temptation," not waging holy war.

Read it all here. Parents need to be aware that this crap could be headed to their children's school, and might already be there.
