Like most blogs, Stop the Madrassa is not responsible for content of comments. We do ask that you respect the views of others and in general, respect this online community as a place to work together to protect our public schools from Islamist curricula - to support separation of church (mosque) and state - and to demand accountability from our elected and appointed officials.
We'll be contacting everyone who has volunteered (and that's a LOT of people).
Keep checking back - we've got new initiatives coming up...

As a devout Catholic, I need to remind everyone that this Country is founded on Judeo-Christian Values. There is no room for any form of education concerning Islam. The root of it diametrically opposes the constitution of this country and all those who don’t abide by Islam. These people have done nothing to make us embrace them. As a Father of 3 I’m concerned and outraged that it has even become a consideration! If there is anything that I can do personally or professionally to protect our land from these predators, please sign me up. What the muslims need to know is one thing, JESUS SAVES. I can’t say the same for allah or mohammed…………………….
In the interest of promoting peace and understanding, why dont the sponsors of the ‘Madrassa’ promote the opening of a Catholic School in Saudi Arabia. This would signal real interest in promoting peace and understanding since there are no (zero, 0) Catholic School or Church in Saudi Arabia.
We Americans know and have learned a lot about Islam since 9/11. It is time the arabs come to know and learn about Christianity.
A few generations ago my immigrant relatives arrived here in this great country; America. They were proud to be Americans – they learned our language and pledged their allegiance to our flag “..one nation under God” they spoke with great pride. This is tantamount to destroying us from the inside out; I am all for diversity – but this is not about diversity – it’s about indoctination of our children. WAKE UP AMERICA! Pray for our country & our troops.
only if heads are not covered and christian and Jewish laws are taught other wise no tax dollars should be spent on this type of school, unless tax dollars go to christian and Jewish and other schools if arabs want schools let it be with there own money, I go to NY for shopping trips and site seeing with my family I WONT BE GOING TO the big apple, I live in Detroit next to Dearborn that is full of arabs only thing missing is sand . I’AM AMERICAN/MEXICAN
I would like to thank you whole heartedly for what you are doing and for your persistance. With pleasure I watched Sara’s interview with Fox and was impressed how composed and leveled she came off, especially in comparison to her opponent.
I firmly believe in diversity and came to to this country 18 years ago not in search of gold, but in search of freedom. I found it here. I hope the Arabic children can also come to this country and be exposed to the same freedom and variety of choices that I so greatly appreciate. Unfortunately, the school that is being porposed does not seem to follow this American tradition. I have hard time beliveing that a person wearing religious attires can run a secular educational establishement. This school under the pretense of diversity will segregate immigrant kids further. I am amazed that Mayor Bloomberg, who has always been a true advocate of the right and strict quality control when it comes to education is willing to play this game. Whether this school will be a “breeding ground for terrorists” or not, I can not say. But this school will deprive children of Arabic immigrans the chance to integrate, learn English and potentially become Americans, even if they have US passports. I am against this school just as I am against Russian kids getting instruction in Russian, against Chinese kids learning math in Mandarin, and against Hispanic children refusing to read English.
For sake of children who will be sent to this school I hope you will succeed in your struggle!
When will America wake up and understand what the Muslim communities and leaders are trying to do?! The Muslim leaders in the US and most European and Arab countries are yet to denounce what the militants have been doing (terrorism everywhere by Muslim fundamentalists). Do we need to nurture the teachings of such extreme? Do need to segregate Arab speaking children and teach them Fundamental Islam under the guise of whatever?
America: please wake up and stop this nonsense before the time comes when we say why did we allow these kinds of schools, madrassas or exclusive Islamic teaching.
Yes, I concur, but what is the vehicle for us to get the word out without being accused of being shouted-down, called racist islamaphobes? We need to ban together! Enough cultural relativism, all world views are NOT equal, not as tolerant. The US’s tolerance will undermine us in the end, until our freedoms have ceased!
We have a public school system in place. It is in place for the purpose of educating students in basic skills so that they can be functional people in our society.
This purposed school is a religious school. It has no place in the public school system. It’s purpose is to indocrinate students in the Islamic religion and viewpoint. It should be a private school and it has no place in the public school system.
How dare our public officials allow such a blatant disregard for separation of church and state? Why should my tax dollars go to fund such religious studies? When will Hindu, Buddhist, Jain,Sikh,and any other religious group get their free illegal education?
At very least, a temporary hold should be placed on the opening of this school until all of the valid questions posed have been satisfactorally answered.
There is a delebrate campaign underfoot: with the flying Imams seeking to silence ‘John Doe’ activist citizen voices through CAIR, the ‘footbaths’ required now at some American universities, the now separate school with secret curriculum envisioned in NY. Who else gets a separate school funded by American taxpayers?!!
The extremists have worked hard to sway people to their radical, false positions on university campuses. Only leftist thought is given free range at most of our leading universities now, with more conservative views and voices attacked. Is that democratic free speech on campus? It’s a travesty. Our unversities and most media outlets have become an abetting voice for those who would harm us.
The extremists have recruited the most dangerous or disenfranchised among us, already in prisons, gang members or other. Fanatic Muslim cabdrivers won’t pick you up in NY, if you carry a bottle of wine or small dog! Where are our rights?! Until we tie money and substantial aid to halting the propaganda machines tied to governments’ controlled media and within their schools–all spewing out daily messages of hate against ‘infidel’ Westerns, Jews and others–we will keep growing new generations of haters. The Richard Rodgers song, “You Have to Be Carefully Taught” (to hate), is timely. No child of any nation starts out hating. They are carefully groomed into doing so.
The extremists have been repopulating huge regions; Europe is going extremist as we complacently watch. We may be next! We are placating ourselves into oblivion. We’ve learned nothing from Chamberlain’s ‘placating’ of Hitler, which just allowed him more time to grow like a cancer. He was develping nuclear weapons; the US was lucky to develop them first. This time, the terrorists may get their hands on existing technology… The stakes have never been higher.
These extremists have killed more Muslims than any other group in a host of countries. They behead innocent civilians and post it on the Internet. They have no respect for women, children or the rule of law. They are merciless. They rewrite history (no Holocaust took place). They only respect might/force. You can’t reason with them utilizing rational Western thinking. The Koran allows them to lie to ‘infidels’; they’re supposed to do so to obtain their ultimate goal–world domination/submission. Yet, the Democratics are constantly touting trying ‘diplomacy’ with Iran, etc.! We seem stupid, hopelessly naive, fat physically and intellectually!
I can only echo ‘Tom D’, ‘Peter of L.V.’, ‘Chris Ortiz’, and ‘Barbara Zimmerman’. I share the sentiments of ALL and have something in common with EACH.
Please contact the American Center for Law and Justice!!! Their legal helpline: 757-226-2489
This is a ridiculous use of taxpayer’s $$!!! Surely this can be stopped in the courts! Thank you for standing up to this affront against Americans who love our country! Unbelievable that muslims would have the audacity to thumb their noses in the heart of NYC after 9-11!
We will NOT forget !
This is outrageous. I have long fought to prevent Christian influence in the public schools. I cannot believe now we also are having to fight Islam in the public schools. How can I help you in this fight? Name a sum that you can use.
Thank you for standing up against what is going wrong in this country… Have people just lost their minds??? The complacency of lazy Americans will bring down America… I say send all the illegals and Muslims home if they cannot assimilate… That would solve all these problems!!! Do not let them open this school with American tax payer money!!!
Wake up America and look around you. We are losing America as we speak. We have been too accepting of other cultures/religions and have lost America traditions and beliefs. Enough is Enough! Stand up and say No More…draw the line now! Does no one think it is suspicious that the principal of this school is affiliated with negative organizations and will not supply the appropriate people with documentation of the staff and curriculum? Remember…terrorists were able to slip into our avaition schools and learn how to fly so they could fly planes into a building on 9/11 so why wouldn’t they start their own schools and teach Anti-American hate. We are just opening the flood gates for further disasters…..WAKE UP!
Will Israel be included on maps in this school? I doubt it.
And will the Arab-Israeli conflict be taught in a fair, objective manner? Once again, I doubt it.
I am horrified. Our men and women are dying and sacricing their lives daily. I live in Texas but I am so appaled that words escape me. What has happened? Perhaps it is time to reinstitute a patriotic out rage and cut off funding for public schools and teach our children at home. New York City of all places! A big wake up call for all persons that really love this country.
thank you for standing up & voicing the danger !
We need to stand up and tell the truth where ever we live in the U.S. Let legislators know, let neighbors know – stay at it- persevere. This is going to be a long term struggle and no one is going to do it for us.
A Sign Of Things To Come?
By: Editorial Board
Wednesday, August 8, 2007
The report in the New York Post that burkha-clad Dhabah Almontaser (dubbed “Debbie” by the media), principal of the Khalil Gibran Academy – the soon-to-be-opened Arabic-themed public school – sees no problem with students wearing T-shirts with the imprint “Intifada NYC” confirmed the concerns many of us expressed when plans for the controversial school were announced earlier this year by Schools Chancellor Joel Klein.
Unfortunately, despite this very clear signal that navigation of the fine line needed for the operation of this public school cannot be entrusted to “Debbie,” the chancellor said he sees no issue raised here.
As the Post reported, an organization called Arab Women Active in Art and Media has taken to hawking the “Intifada NYC” shirts. As it turns out, the group shares office space with the Saba Association of American Yemenis and “Debbie” sits on Saba’s board and serves as a spokesperson.
Other sources claim to have uncovered a more direct link between “Debbie” and AWAAM, through interrelated organizations. This is all fruit for further investigation by the chancellor. What concerns us even more than her possible connection to the T-shirts is the attitude she brings to the table.
Asked about the shirts, “Debbie” had this to say:
The word [intifada] basically means “shaking off.” That is the root word if you look it up in Arabic… I understand it is developing a negative connotation due to the uprising in the Palestinian-Israeli areas. I don’t believe the intention is to have any of that kind of [violence] in New York City.
I think its pretty much an opportunity for girls to express that they are part of New York City society…and shaking off oppression.
Putting aside what she may have had in mind regarding “oppression” here in New York, “Debbie” reacted to the negative reaction to her comments about the meaning of “intifada” by offering the following clarification:
The word “intifada” is completely inappropriate as a T-shirt slogan. I regret suggesting otherwise. By minimizing the word’s historical associations, I implied that I condone violence and threats of violence. That view is anathema to me.”
As the Post succinctly put it, either “Debbie” “is a fool or she thinks New Yorkers are morons.” Actually, we suspect “Debbie” brings to her new assignment a certain mindset that is not all that remarkable given the context of her training and world outlook. This episode says as much about the ill-conceived project of having a public school dedicated to teaching Arab culture with courses taught in Arabic as it says about Ms. Almontaser personally.
Can we ignore the sad experience on the college and university level where departments dedicated to Arabic studies and culture over time morphed into hotbeds of anti-West radicalism?
Significantly, some early supporters of the Khalil Gibran School have undergone an epiphany. Jeff Wiesenfeld, a member of the board of the City University of New York, perhaps put it best: “I feel like a fool. I think Abe Foxman should feel like a fool. And certainly Joel Klein if he sponsors it will be a fool.”
This is America and our rules are based on fundamentally judeo-christian values. Islamic or Sharia Law is not and will never be accepted by Americans. You guys are all heroes for standing up to the Islamics who inch-by-inch are forcing their religion on us all.
I am very angry that our nation constantly attempts to make accomodations to those who would do us harm. This is no different from President Bush refusing to enforce border regulations.
Is there a way we can get an injunction to keep this school from opening??
The following is a letter from a pilot. This well spoken man,
who is a pilot with American Airlines, says what is in his heart,
beautifully. … Read, absorb and pass this on.
“YOU WORRY ME!”
By American Airlines Pilot – Captain John Maniscalco
I’ve been trying to say this since 9-11, but you worry me. I
wish you didn’t. I wish when I walked down the streets of this country
that I love, that your color and culture still blended with the
beautiful human landscape we enjoy in this country.
But you don’t blend in anymore. I notice you, and it worries
me. I notice you because I can’t help it anymore. People from your
homelands, professing to be Muslims, have been attacking and killing my
fellow citizens and our friends for more than 20 years now. I don’t
fully understand their grievances and hate, but I know that nothing can
justify the inhumanity of their attacks.
On September 11, nineteen ARAB-MUSLIMS hijacked four jetliners
in my country. They cut the throats of women in front of children and
brutally stabbed to death others. They took control of those planes and
crashed them into buildings killing thousands of proud fathers, loving
sons, wise grandparents, elegant daughters, best friends, favorite
coaches, fearless public servants, and children’s mothers.
The Palestinians Celebrated, the Iraqis were overjoyed as was
most of the Arab world. So, I notice you now. I don’t want to be
worried. I don’t want to be consumed by the same rage and hate and
prejudice that have destroyed the soul of these terrorists. But I need
your help. As a rational American, trying to protect my country and
family in an irrational and unsafe world, I must know how to tell the
difference between you, and the Arab/Muslim terrorist.
How do I differentiate between the true Arab / Muslim-Americans
and the Arab Muslim terrorists in our communities who are attending our
schools, enjoying our parks, and living in OUR communities under the
protection of OUR constitution, while they plot the next attack that
will slaughter these same good neighbors and children?
The events of September 11th changed the answer. It is not my
responsibility to determine which of you embraces our great country,
with ALL of its religions, with ALL of its different citizens, with all
of its faults. It is time for every Arab/Muslim in this country to
determine it for me.
I want to know, I demand to know, and I have a right to know,
whether or not you love America? Do you pledge allegiance to its flag?
Do you proudly display it in front of your house, or on your car? Do
you
pray in your many daily prayers that Allah will bless this nation, that
He will protect and prosper it? Or do you pray that Allah will destroy
it in one of your Jihads? Are you thankful for the freedom that only
this nation affords? A freedom that was paid for by the blood of
hundreds of thousands of patriots who gave their lives for this
country?
Are you willing to preserve this freedom by also paying the ultimate
sacrifice? Do you love America?
If this is your commitment, then I need YOU to start letting ME
know about it.
Your Muslim leaders in this nation should be flooding the media
at this time with hard facts on your faith, and what hard actions you
are taking as a community and as a religion to protect the United
States
of America.
Please, no more benign overtures of regret for the death of the
innocent because I worry about who you regard as innocent. No more
benign overtures of condemnation for the unprovoked attacks because I
worry about what is unprovoked to you. I am not interested in any more
sympathy. I am only interested in action.
What will you do for America – our great country – at this time
of crisis, at this time of war?
I want to see Arab-Muslims waving the AMERICAN flag in the
streets. I want to hear you chanting “Allah Bless America ” I want to
see young Arab/Muslim men enlisting in the military. I want to see a
commitment of money, time, and emotion to the victims of this
butchering
and to this nation as a whole.
The FBI has a list of over 400 people they want to talk to
regarding the WTC attack. Many of these people live and socialize right
now in Muslim communities. You know them. You know where they are. Hand
them over to us, now! But I have seen little even approaching this sort
of action. Instead I have seen an already closed and
secretive community close even tighter. You have disappeared
from the streets. You have posted armed security guards at your
facilities. You have threatened lawsuits. You have screamed for
protection from reprisals. The very few Arab/Muslim representatives
that HAVE appeared in the media were defensive and equivocating.
They seemed more concerned with making sure that the United
States proves who was responsible before taking action. They seemed
more
concerned with protecting their fellow Muslims from violence directed
towards them in the United States and abroad than they did with
supporting our country and denouncing “leaders” like
Khadafi, Hussein, Farrakhan, and Arafat.
If the true teachings of Islam proclaim tolerance and peace and
love for all people, then I want chapter and verse from the Koran and
statements from popular Muslim leaders to back it up. What good is it
if
the teachings in the Koran are good, and pure, and true, when your
“leaders” are teaching fanatical interpretations, terrorism, and
intolerance?
It matters little how good Islam SHOULD BE if huge numbers of
the world’s Muslims interpret the teachings of Mohammed incorrectly and
adhere to a degenerative form of the religion. A form that has been
demonstrated
to us over and over again. A form whose structure is built upon
a foundation of violence, death, and suicide. A form whose members are
recruited from the prisons around the world. A form whose members (some
as young as five years old) are seen day after day, week in and week
out, year after a year, marching in the streets around the world,
burning effigies of our presidents, burning the American flag, shooting
weapons into the air. A form whose members convert from a peaceful
religion, only to take up arms against the great United States of
America, the
country of their birth. A form whose rules are so twisted, that
their traveling members refuse to show their faces at airport security
checkpoints, in the name of Islam.
We will NEVER allow the attacks of September 11, or any others
for that matter, to take away that which is so precious to us: Our
rights under the greatest constitution in the world.
I want to know where every Arab Muslim in this country stands
and I think it is my right and the right of every true citizen of this
country to demand it. A right paid for by the blood of thousands of my
brothers and sisters who died protecting the very constitution that is
protecting you and your family. I am pleading with you to let me know.
I want you here as my brother, my neighbor, my friend, as a
fellow American.
But there can be no gray areas or ambivalence regarding your
allegiance and it is up to YOU, to show ME, where YOU stand. Until
then. “YOU WORRY ME!”
THIS IS TOO GOOD TO JUST READ AND DELETE…. LET’S SATURATE THE
USA WITH THIS ONE
I would like COMPLETE disclosure of all details all the financing for this school.
1) George Soros $ — Is it from his Open Society Foundation which we know happily funds every radical leftist America-hating project in academia? How much money comes from Soros and to what EXACT purpose was it donated?
2) Bill and Melinda Gates $ – How much? Again, is it specifically to fund ARAB schools? Is it discretionary for other “muticultural projects” or is it only for Arab schools. Is the Gates foundation promoting Arab schools elsewhere in this country? In Seattle? Where else? WHY?
3) What are ALL other sources of money for this school. Is there any Saudi money? How much is taxpayer?
I’m new to this site, and perhaps there is a detailed accounting already. If not, Bloomberg and Klein should be required to reveal EVERYTHING about the private fundraising and public monies so that we the public can decide if our school system is being manipulated, hoodwinked, and subverted by our Muslim enemies.
As a teacher and a taxpayer, I can’t believe that this is being allowed! There is a reason why church is seperate from state. If the Board of Education is nieve enough to believe that a curriculum is going to be followed just as any other school, then they deserve what they get!
establishing this school is outrageous. all religious people
attend their own houses of worship to study their religion and learn languages of their own culture.
we are asked to take classes in understanding their diversity. do they take classes in order to be sensitive to our religions and culture. it is becoming a one-way street.
we must continue to separate church and state or we are doomed. myrna from scotch plains
In the interest of promoting peace and understanding, why dont the sponsors of the ‘Madrassa’ promote the opening of a Catholic School in Saudi Arabia. This would signal real interest in promoting peace and understanding since there are no (zero, 0) Catholic School or Church in Saudi Arabia.
We Americans know and have learned a lot about Islam since 9/11. It is time the arabs come to know and learn about Christianity.
As an American of Lebanese descent, and a CHRISTIAN, I am very troubled by the use of Khalil Gibran’s on a school that looks like it will be an islamic school. Not only was Gibran a CHRISTIAN Lebanese, but he believed deeply in freedom and secularism. The founders of the Brooklyn school are using Gibran as a front, and are free-riding his huge popularity with the American people. We need to stop them or at least force them to drop Gibran’s name. These people are a disgrace.
If you think Muslim/Islam people are interested in learning about Christianity, your punch is spiked. Read Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s “Infidel” and do not miss a word of it. Her father was a more progressive thinking man (tried to get some sort of a democracy going in Ethiopia & did not want his daughters to be circumcised) but in the end insisted on choosing a husband for Ali and the night before she was to wed a strange man gave her a father-daughter talk…….he said Allah does not condone suicide, however if a person were to die in the name of Allah , preserving Islam, Allah would not only forgive that person but immediately give him a special place in heaven………..I believe this was her father’s way of preparing her for the possibility of a future son becoming a suicide bomber, or such……..remember, this man was not as staunch as some in other ways ! Their belief system is so ingrained that it will take several generations of their people (circumcised and abused women in pologamy existances that can begin teaching their children otherwise) Women still raise the children and if they are too afraid and also too ignorant to see any other m.o., how in the world do you think they are going to change. They believe that Allah will punish them if they go against the Quran……..No telling how many generations this could take because not all women would want it to change. So there you have it, they will be raising their sons to hate infidels and their daughters to be one of many wives so that their men can multiply their race prolifically. And they have but ONE purpose………We Americans that have been fortunate enough to have been raised with common sense and moral values should feel obligated to carry it on to our children ~~ if we don’t those qualities will disappear forever. donnapotter
The problem is that no one cares about our future or the future of our country. People have been trained to believe they are powerless. This is insane and a destructive way of thinking.
I’m once again truly outraged yet not surprised to how these people turn everything around. The Islamic community is terribly anti-semetic. While I may not support Israel I believe the attacks , that Muslims in America support on Israel are pure evil. The Muslim groups will call everyone else racist meanwhile they are incredibly anti-semetic. Find me a public school in Brooklyn, that has no Jewish principals or staff.
As for Sen.Clinton, she does anything that seems to be fairly trendy. Although, she has not said anything as of now.
As a Christian, I find it personally offensive that the Islamic ‘culture’ is an acceptable way of packaging education, but Christian values and beliefs are barred from entering into the American educational process.
While we’re supposed to accept “Holiday parties” to replace Christmas celebrations, I guess we’ll soon also have to accept celebrations of Muhammed in our public schools, if NY is indicitive of trends in public education.
Let’s stamp out this fire before it gets out of hand.
This is an outrage, and is extremely offensive!!! There should NOT, and under no circumstance, should there ever be a Islamic school in our country. And I would think that 9/11 taught us exactly what the Islamic religion believes about our government and society.
What has happend to “Separation of Church from State”? The christian religion can NOT be taught in our public schools, and therefore the Islamic religion should NOT be taught in our schools as well. And with that, all of our schools should be reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, as it stands for the culture of our society. Anyone who doesn’t believe in our culture, government and society, should not be here – plain and simple. They are encouranged to leave & go back where they came from.
We Americans need to stand up and take back our Country, not just from the Islamics, but from all immigrants who come to our country and are trying to change our way of government. Enough is Enough!
I commend your fine work and effort. The hypocrisy of the Islamic community is disgusting. They play the role of perpetual victim all the while using our laws against us. Europe and North America has willingly subjugated itself to the intimidation and threats of the Islamic world. They cry foul about human rights that they enjoy here that citizens in there own countries (especially Christians and Jews) do not. Keep up the good work.
Most people who study or keep up the news know what Intifada truly means. I do not know what translation method or system they were using.
The article below is just another example of how intifada is used daily in groups like Hamas, Fatah, and the PLO
Also, Al-Jazzera (English) has said that this group, Stop the Madrassa, started as a pro-war group which is a lie. It just goes to show you that we must defend our culture from these people.
My stomach twists from reading all this. I am scared. I don’t want Islamic schools in my great country. To believe that anti-Americanism and anti-semitism is not being taught or will not be taught in this school is to be totally ignorant. We already know that these teachings are occuring right here and now in their mosques in America. These people hate us, plain and simple. Obviously this school has something to hide. If they didn’t, they would have revealed their coursework. The American Airlines pilot is correct in what he said. I have felt the same way – why don’t these people living here show their support for our country? Instead, they come here and rape it. People need to be aware of what is going on in public education. Not only this specific situation but also about what is already being published in the text books. I had the opportunity to do editing of proposed new coursework for grades 9-12 that was (may still be) published by one of the largest educational publishers in this country. I was enraged to see the author of the materials pushing his liberal political views in the curriculum books. The teachings were downright anti-American and the author lives in this country. I will not state his name nor the name of the company but the author has produced materials for this publisher in the past. I raised my concerns to the manager. She was going to push the issue up the management ladder. She said that she really didn’t think anybody before me ever questioned the content of the materials. I was dumbfounded. My sister, who has children, told me this sort of thing exists in our country’s public education materials and because of it she refuses to send her child to public schools (in Denver). Trust me, I will be checking that author’s website to see if he is still boasting about his upcoming teaching book. My sister’s son is in his last year at West Point (army officer academy). He majored in Arabic. In the future, it will be interesting to find out what he gets exposed to when dealing with these people. He will be putting his life on the line for all of us, just as all our soldier freedom fighters do. Please, everybody, must take a stand against this religion. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. There is no doubt that their teachings are anti-American, in fact anti-anything that isn’t Islam or Islamic in practice. History repeats itself; read about the Ottoman Empire. This is the goal of the Muslims; to spread Islam across the world. Everybody must wake up, and everybody must stand up to the liberals in our country who are making it very very easy for this religion (which is also Muslim politics) to take over from within our own borders.
It was good that your reacted against the threat of companies to stop advertising at shows which are anti-islamist. Please make the mail adesses of the presidents, CEs of such comapanies public and we will all write to them.
Great website! I will return as I continue my research. I’ve been frustrated by the casual disinterest in this topic – and the multifaceted threat of Islam. My response is to weave the threat into works of fiction. After all, Americans will spend more time entertaining than educating themselves. Maybe we can reach a few more through that medium.
I added you to my blogroll and have included a link to your site on a blog posting I wrote regarding threat that Madrassah schools represent to civilization.
It sounds like our leaders don’t really understand the danger of Islam. I read an article the other day by Amil Imani called The Trojan Horse. it is exactly what Islam is.
Trying to dominate and take over little by little but we should never forget that their goal is to dominate the world.
Islam should be declared illegal like communism was.
It is infiltrating our judicial system too.
look at this petition http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/judgefields/
American dollars should not be paying for Islamic schools.
Somehow the word has to get out about what is happening in our schools. We need to have “eyes in the back of our heads” to watch what is taking place. Islamic teachings are being infiltrated into every walk of American life……this is the way they think they can take over.
I was appalled by the use of the Koran for a swearing in ceremony by one of our elected officials. Obviously his allegiance is not to the United States but to Allah……..
What is wrong with this country lately. I think they are asleep at the helm.
hi
i would like to propose that you consider the Lebanese Curiculum for teaching arabic.
Due to the countries diverse population(christians and muslims) the government decided to create a curriculum that teaches arabic language and arabic culture(with concentration on Lebanese culture) without any religious or political bias. these textbooks are used in the majority of arabic christian schools in lebanon and canada and they teach many ideals such as democracy, freedom of speech, liberty, and others.
if you need more details dont hesitate to contact me

We Americans know and have learned a lot about Islam since 9/11. It is time the arabs come to know and learn about Christianity.

A few generations ago my immigrant relatives arrived here in this great country; America. They were proud to be Americans – they learned our language and pledged their allegiance to our flag “..one nation under God” they spoke with great pride. This is tantamount to destroying us from the inside out; I am all for diversity – but this is not about diversity – it’s about indoctination of our children. WAKE UP AMERICA! Pray for our country & our troops.
July 26, 2007 at 2:10 am
only if heads are not covered and christian and Jewish laws are taught other wise no tax dollars should be spent on this type of school, unless tax dollars go to christian and Jewish and other schools if arabs want schools let it be with there own money, I go to NY for shopping trips and site seeing with my family I WONT BE GOING TO the big apple, I live in Detroit next to Dearborn that is full of arabs only thing missing is sand . I’AM AMERICAN/MEXICAN

Dear Stop the Madrassa,
I would like to thank you whole heartedly for what you are doing and for your persistance. With pleasure I watched Sara’s interview with Fox and was impressed how composed and leveled she came off, especially in comparison to her opponent.
I firmly believe in diversity and came to to this country 18 years ago not in search of gold, but in search of freedom. I found it here. I hope the Arabic children can also come to this country and be exposed to the same freedom and variety of choices that I so greatly appreciate. Unfortunately, the school that is being porposed does not seem to follow this American tradition. I have hard time beliveing that a person wearing religious attires can run a secular educational establishement. This school under the pretense of diversity will segregate immigrant kids further. I am amazed that Mayor Bloomberg, who has always been a true advocate of the right and strict quality control when it comes to education is willing to play this game. Whether this school will be a “breeding ground for terrorists” or not, I can not say. But this school will deprive children of Arabic immigrans the chance to integrate, learn English and potentially become Americans, even if they have US passports. I am against this school just as I am against Russian kids getting instruction in Russian, against Chinese kids learning math in Mandarin, and against Hispanic children refusing to read English.
For sake of children who will be sent to this school I hope you will succeed in your struggle!

When will America wake up and understand what the Muslim communities and leaders are trying to do?! The Muslim leaders in the US and most European and Arab countries are yet to denounce what the militants have been doing (terrorism everywhere by Muslim fundamentalists). Do we need to nurture the teachings of such extreme? Do need to segregate Arab speaking children and teach them Fundamental Islam under the guise of whatever?
America: please wake up and stop this nonsense before the time comes when we say why did we allow these kinds of schools, madrassas or exclusive Islamic teaching.
July 7, 2012 at 3:04 pm
Yes, I concur, but what is the vehicle for us to get the word out without being accused of being shouted-down, called racist islamaphobes? We need to ban together! Enough cultural relativism, all world views are NOT equal, not as tolerant. The US’s tolerance will undermine us in the end, until our freedoms have ceased!
July 27, 2007 at 12:07 pm
We have a public school system in place. It is in place for the purpose of educating students in basic skills so that they can be functional people in our society.
This purposed school is a religious school. It has no place in the public school system. It’s purpose is to indocrinate students in the Islamic religion and viewpoint. It should be a private school and it has no place in the public school system.
July 28, 2007 at 12:19 pm
How dare our public officials allow such a blatant disregard for separation of church and state? Why should my tax dollars go to fund such religious studies? When will Hindu, Buddhist, Jain,Sikh,and any other religious group get their free illegal education?
At very least, a temporary hold should be placed on the opening of this school until all of the valid questions posed have been satisfactorally answered.
July 30, 2007 at 11:53 am
There is a delebrate campaign underfoot: with the flying Imams seeking to silence ‘John Doe’ activist citizen voices through CAIR, the ‘footbaths’ required now at some American universities, the now separate school with secret curriculum envisioned in NY. Who else gets a separate school funded by American taxpayers?!!
The extremists have worked hard to sway people to their radical, false positions on university campuses. Only leftist thought is given free range at most of our leading universities now, with more conservative views and voices attacked. Is that democratic free speech on campus? It’s a travesty. Our unversities and most media outlets have become an abetting voice for those who would harm us.
The extremists have recruited the most dangerous or disenfranchised among us, already in prisons, gang members or other. Fanatic Muslim cabdrivers won’t pick you up in NY, if you carry a bottle of wine or small dog! Where are our rights?! Until we tie money and substantial aid to halting the propaganda machines tied to governments’ controlled media and within their schools–all spewing out daily messages of hate against ‘infidel’ Westerns, Jews and others–we will keep growing new generations of haters. The Richard Rodgers song, “You Have to Be Carefully Taught” (to hate), is timely. No child of any nation starts out hating. They are carefully groomed into doing so.
The extremists have been repopulating huge regions; Europe is going extremist as we complacently watch. We may be next! We are placating ourselves into oblivion. We’ve learned nothing from Chamberlain’s ‘placating’ of Hitler, which just allowed him more time to grow like a cancer. He was develping nuclear weapons; the US was lucky to develop them first. This time, the terrorists may get their hands on existing technology… The stakes have never been higher.
These extremists have killed more Muslims than any other group in a host of countries. They behead innocent civilians and post it on the Internet. They have no respect for women, children or the rule of law. They are merciless. They rewrite history (no Holocaust took place). They only respect might/force. You can’t reason with them utilizing rational Western thinking. The Koran allows them to lie to ‘infidels’; they’re supposed to do so to obtain their ultimate goal–world domination/submission. Yet, the Democratics are constantly touting trying ‘diplomacy’ with Iran, etc.! We seem stupid, hopelessly naive, fat physically and intellectually!

This is a ridiculous use of taxpayer’s $$!!! Surely this can be stopped in the courts! Thank you for standing up to this affront against Americans who love our country! Unbelievable that muslims would have the audacity to thumb their noses in the heart of NYC after 9-11!
We will NOT forget !
August 3, 2007 at 11:23 am
Is there an email subscription for notification of events we can attend in NYC to support your efforts?
August 6, 2007 at 11:58 pm
This is outrageous. I have long fought to prevent Christian influence in the public schools. I cannot believe now we also are having to fight Islam in the public schools. How can I help you in this fight? Name a sum that you can use.
August 7, 2007 at 10:09 am
Thank you for standing up against what is going wrong in this country… Have people just lost their minds??? The complacency of lazy Americans will bring down America… I say send all the illegals and Muslims home if they cannot assimilate… That would solve all these problems!!! Do not let them open this school with American tax payer money!!!

August 7, 2007 at 12:13 pm
Wake up America and look around you. We are losing America as we speak. We have been too accepting of other cultures/religions and have lost America traditions and beliefs. Enough is Enough! Stand up and say No More…draw the line now! Does no one think it is suspicious that the principal of this school is affiliated with negative organizations and will not supply the appropriate people with documentation of the staff and curriculum? Remember…terrorists were able to slip into our avaition schools and learn how to fly so they could fly planes into a building on 9/11 so why wouldn’t they start their own schools and teach Anti-American hate. We are just opening the flood gates for further disasters…..WAKE UP!
August 7, 2007 at 4:48 pm
Will Israel be included on maps in this school? I doubt it.
And will the Arab-Israeli conflict be taught in a fair, objective manner? Once again, I doubt it.
August 8, 2007 at 1:33 pm
I am horrified. Our men and women are dying and sacricing their lives daily. I live in Texas but I am so appaled that words escape me. What has happened? Perhaps it is time to reinstitute a patriotic out rage and cut off funding for public schools and teach our children at home. New York City of all places! A big wake up call for all persons that really love this country.

We need to stand up and tell the truth where ever we live in the U.S. Let legislators know, let neighbors know – stay at it- persevere. This is going to be a long term struggle and no one is going to do it for us.

Editorial in the JEWISH PRESS (weekly newspaper)
A Sign Of Things To Come?
By: Editorial Board
Wednesday, August 8, 2007
The report in the New York Post that burkha-clad Dhabah Almontaser (dubbed “Debbie” by the media), principal of the Khalil Gibran Academy – the soon-to-be-opened Arabic-themed public school – sees no problem with students wearing T-shirts with the imprint “Intifada NYC” confirmed the concerns many of us expressed when plans for the controversial school were announced earlier this year by Schools Chancellor Joel Klein.
Unfortunately, despite this very clear signal that navigation of the fine line needed for the operation of this public school cannot be entrusted to “Debbie,” the chancellor said he sees no issue raised here.
As the Post reported, an organization called Arab Women Active in Art and Media has taken to hawking the “Intifada NYC” shirts. As it turns out, the group shares office space with the Saba Association of American Yemenis and “Debbie” sits on Saba’s board and serves as a spokesperson.
Other sources claim to have uncovered a more direct link between “Debbie” and AWAAM, through interrelated organizations. This is all fruit for further investigation by the chancellor. What concerns us even more than her possible connection to the T-shirts is the attitude she brings to the table.
Asked about the shirts, “Debbie” had this to say:
The word [intifada] basically means “shaking off.” That is the root word if you look it up in Arabic… I understand it is developing a negative connotation due to the uprising in the Palestinian-Israeli areas. I don’t believe the intention is to have any of that kind of [violence] in New York City.
I think its pretty much an opportunity for girls to express that they are part of New York City society…and shaking off oppression.
Putting aside what she may have had in mind regarding “oppression” here in New York, “Debbie” reacted to the negative reaction to her comments about the meaning of “intifada” by offering the following clarification:
The word “intifada” is completely inappropriate as a T-shirt slogan. I regret suggesting otherwise. By minimizing the word’s historical associations, I implied that I condone violence and threats of violence. That view is anathema to me.”
As the Post succinctly put it, either “Debbie” “is a fool or she thinks New Yorkers are morons.” Actually, we suspect “Debbie” brings to her new assignment a certain mindset that is not all that remarkable given the context of her training and world outlook. This episode says as much about the ill-conceived project of having a public school dedicated to teaching Arab culture with courses taught in Arabic as it says about Ms. Almontaser personally.
Can we ignore the sad experience on the college and university level where departments dedicated to Arabic studies and culture over time morphed into hotbeds of anti-West radicalism?
Significantly, some early supporters of the Khalil Gibran School have undergone an epiphany. Jeff Wiesenfeld, a member of the board of the City University of New York, perhaps put it best: “I feel like a fool. I think Abe Foxman should feel like a fool. And certainly Joel Klein if he sponsors it will be a fool.”
August 10, 2007 at 3:03 pm
This is America and our rules are based on fundamentally judeo-christian values. Islamic or Sharia Law is not and will never be accepted by Americans. You guys are all heroes for standing up to the Islamics who inch-by-inch are forcing their religion on us all.
August 10, 2007 at 5:54 pm
I am very angry that our nation constantly attempts to make accomodations to those who would do us harm. This is no different from President Bush refusing to enforce border regulations.
Is there a way we can get an injunction to keep this school from opening??
August 11, 2007 at 12:18 am
I would like to volunteer in any way possible to stop this madness. What can i do?
August 11, 2007 at 10:23 am
The following is a letter from a pilot. This well spoken man,
who is a pilot with American Airlines, says what is in his heart,
beautifully. … Read, absorb and pass this on.
“YOU WORRY ME!”
By American Airlines Pilot – Captain John Maniscalco
I’ve been trying to say this since 9-11, but you worry me. I
wish you didn’t. I wish when I walked down the streets of this country
that I love, that your color and culture still blended with the
beautiful human landscape we enjoy in this country.
But you don’t blend in anymore. I notice you, and it worries
me. I notice you because I can’t help it anymore. People from your
homelands, professing to be Muslims, have been attacking and killing my
fellow citizens and our friends for more than 20 years now. I don’t
fully understand their grievances and hate, but I know that nothing can
justify the inhumanity of their attacks.
On September 11, nineteen ARAB-MUSLIMS hijacked four jetliners
in my country. They cut the throats of women in front of children and
brutally stabbed to death others. They took control of those planes and
crashed them into buildings killing thousands of proud fathers, loving
sons, wise grandparents, elegant daughters, best friends, favorite
coaches, fearless public servants, and children’s mothers.
The Palestinians Celebrated, the Iraqis were overjoyed as was
most of the Arab world. So, I notice you now. I don’t want to be
worried. I don’t want to be consumed by the same rage and hate and
prejudice that have destroyed the soul of these terrorists. But I need
your help. As a rational American, trying to protect my country and
family in an irrational and unsafe world, I must know how to tell the
difference between you, and the Arab/Muslim terrorist.
How do I differentiate between the true Arab / Muslim-Americans
and the Arab Muslim terrorists in our communities who are attending our
schools, enjoying our parks, and living in OUR communities under the
protection of OUR constitution, while they plot the next attack that
will slaughter these same good neighbors and children?
The events of September 11th changed the answer. It is not my
responsibility to determine which of you embraces our great country,
with ALL of its religions, with ALL of its different citizens, with all
of its faults. It is time for every Arab/Muslim in this country to
determine it for me.
I want to know, I demand to know, and I have a right to know,
whether or not you love America? Do you pledge allegiance to its flag?
Do you proudly display it in front of your house, or on your car? Do
you
pray in your many daily prayers that Allah will bless this nation, that
He will protect and prosper it? Or do you pray that Allah will destroy
it in one of your Jihads? Are you thankful for the freedom that only
this nation affords? A freedom that was paid for by the blood of
hundreds of thousands of patriots who gave their lives for this
country?
Are you willing to preserve this freedom by also paying the ultimate
sacrifice? Do you love America?
If this is your commitment, then I need YOU to start letting ME
know about it.
Your Muslim leaders in this nation should be flooding the media
at this time with hard facts on your faith, and what hard actions you
are taking as a community and as a religion to protect the United
States
of America.
Please, no more benign overtures of regret for the death of the
innocent because I worry about who you regard as innocent. No more
benign overtures of condemnation for the unprovoked attacks because I
worry about what is unprovoked to you. I am not interested in any more
sympathy. I am only interested in action.
What will you do for America – our great country – at this time
of crisis, at this time of war?
I want to see Arab-Muslims waving the AMERICAN flag in the
streets. I want to hear you chanting “Allah Bless America ” I want to
see young Arab/Muslim men enlisting in the military. I want to see a
commitment of money, time, and emotion to the victims of this
butchering
and to this nation as a whole.
The FBI has a list of over 400 people they want to talk to
regarding the WTC attack. Many of these people live and socialize right
now in Muslim communities. You know them. You know where they are. Hand
them over to us, now! But I have seen little even approaching this sort
of action. Instead I have seen an already closed and
secretive community close even tighter. You have disappeared
from the streets. You have posted armed security guards at your
facilities. You have threatened lawsuits. You have screamed for
protection from reprisals. The very few Arab/Muslim representatives
that HAVE appeared in the media were defensive and equivocating.
They seemed more concerned with making sure that the United
States proves who was responsible before taking action. They seemed
more
concerned with protecting their fellow Muslims from violence directed
towards them in the United States and abroad than they did with
supporting our country and denouncing “leaders” like
Khadafi, Hussein, Farrakhan, and Arafat.
If the true teachings of Islam proclaim tolerance and peace and
love for all people, then I want chapter and verse from the Koran and
statements from popular Muslim leaders to back it up. What good is it
if
the teachings in the Koran are good, and pure, and true, when your
“leaders” are teaching fanatical interpretations, terrorism, and
intolerance?
It matters little how good Islam SHOULD BE if huge numbers of
the world’s Muslims interpret the teachings of Mohammed incorrectly and
adhere to a degenerative form of the religion. A form that has been
demonstrated
to us over and over again. A form whose structure is built upon
a foundation of violence, death, and suicide. A form whose members are
recruited from the prisons around the world. A form whose members (some
as young as five years old) are seen day after day, week in and week
out, year after a year, marching in the streets around the world,
burning effigies of our presidents, burning the American flag, shooting
weapons into the air. A form whose members convert from a peaceful
religion, only to take up arms against the great United States of
America, the
country of their birth. A form whose rules are so twisted, that
their traveling members refuse to show their faces at airport security
checkpoints, in the name of Islam.
We will NEVER allow the attacks of September 11, or any others
for that matter, to take away that which is so precious to us: Our
rights under the greatest constitution in the world.
I want to know where every Arab Muslim in this country stands
and I think it is my right and the right of every true citizen of this
country to demand it. A right paid for by the blood of thousands of my
brothers and sisters who died protecting the very constitution that is
protecting you and your family. I am pleading with you to let me know.
I want you here as my brother, my neighbor, my friend, as a
fellow American.
But there can be no gray areas or ambivalence regarding your
allegiance and it is up to YOU, to show ME, where YOU stand. Until
then. “YOU WORRY ME!”

I would like COMPLETE disclosure of all details all the financing for this school.
1) George Soros $ — Is it from his Open Society Foundation which we know happily funds every radical leftist America-hating project in academia? How much money comes from Soros and to what EXACT purpose was it donated?
2) Bill and Melinda Gates $ – How much? Again, is it specifically to fund ARAB schools? Is it discretionary for other “muticultural projects” or is it only for Arab schools. Is the Gates foundation promoting Arab schools elsewhere in this country? In Seattle? Where else? WHY?
3) What are ALL other sources of money for this school. Is there any Saudi money? How much is taxpayer?
I’m new to this site, and perhaps there is a detailed accounting already. If not, Bloomberg and Klein should be required to reveal EVERYTHING about the private fundraising and public monies so that we the public can decide if our school system is being manipulated, hoodwinked, and subverted by our Muslim enemies.
August 16, 2007 at 2:38 pm
As a teacher and a taxpayer, I can’t believe that this is being allowed! There is a reason why church is seperate from state. If the Board of Education is nieve enough to believe that a curriculum is going to be followed just as any other school, then they deserve what they get!
August 16, 2007 at 6:01 pm
establishing this school is outrageous. all religious people
attend their own houses of worship to study their religion and learn languages of their own culture.
we are asked to take classes in understanding their diversity. do they take classes in order to be sensitive to our religions and culture. it is becoming a one-way street.
we must continue to separate church and state or we are doomed. myrna from scotch plains

August 23, 2007 at 10:23 am
As an American of Lebanese descent, and a CHRISTIAN, I am very troubled by the use of Khalil Gibran’s on a school that looks like it will be an islamic school. Not only was Gibran a CHRISTIAN Lebanese, but he believed deeply in freedom and secularism. The founders of the Brooklyn school are using Gibran as a front, and are free-riding his huge popularity with the American people. We need to stop them or at least force them to drop Gibran’s name. These people are a disgrace.
August 30, 2007 at 10:03 am
If you think Muslim/Islam people are interested in learning about Christianity, your punch is spiked. Read Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s “Infidel” and do not miss a word of it. Her father was a more progressive thinking man (tried to get some sort of a democracy going in Ethiopia & did not want his daughters to be circumcised) but in the end insisted on choosing a husband for Ali and the night before she was to wed a strange man gave her a father-daughter talk…….he said Allah does not condone suicide, however if a person were to die in the name of Allah , preserving Islam, Allah would not only forgive that person but immediately give him a special place in heaven………..I believe this was her father’s way of preparing her for the possibility of a future son becoming a suicide bomber, or such……..remember, this man was not as staunch as some in other ways ! Their belief system is so ingrained that it will take several generations of their people (circumcised and abused women in pologamy existances that can begin teaching their children otherwise) Women still raise the children and if they are too afraid and also too ignorant to see any other m.o., how in the world do you think they are going to change. They believe that Allah will punish them if they go against the Quran……..No telling how many generations this could take because not all women would want it to change. So there you have it, they will be raising their sons to hate infidels and their daughters to be one of many wives so that their men can multiply their race prolifically. And they have but ONE purpose………We Americans that have been fortunate enough to have been raised with common sense and moral values should feel obligated to carry it on to our children ~~ if we don’t those qualities will disappear forever. donnapotter
August 30, 2007 at 7:04 pm
The problem is that no one cares about our future or the future of our country. People have been trained to believe they are powerless. This is insane and a destructive way of thinking.
I’m once again truly outraged yet not surprised to how these people turn everything around. The Islamic community is terribly anti-semetic. While I may not support Israel I believe the attacks , that Muslims in America support on Israel are pure evil. The Muslim groups will call everyone else racist meanwhile they are incredibly anti-semetic. Find me a public school in Brooklyn, that has no Jewish principals or staff.
As for Sen.Clinton, she does anything that seems to be fairly trendy. Although, she has not said anything as of now.
September 4, 2007 at 2:58 pm
As a Christian, I find it personally offensive that the Islamic ‘culture’ is an acceptable way of packaging education, but Christian values and beliefs are barred from entering into the American educational process.
While we’re supposed to accept “Holiday parties” to replace Christmas celebrations, I guess we’ll soon also have to accept celebrations of Muhammed in our public schools, if NY is indicitive of trends in public education.
Let’s stamp out this fire before it gets out of hand.
September 4, 2007 at 3:09 pm
This is an outrage, and is extremely offensive!!! There should NOT, and under no circumstance, should there ever be a Islamic school in our country. And I would think that 9/11 taught us exactly what the Islamic religion believes about our government and society.
What has happend to “Separation of Church from State”? The christian religion can NOT be taught in our public schools, and therefore the Islamic religion should NOT be taught in our schools as well. And with that, all of our schools should be reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, as it stands for the culture of our society. Anyone who doesn’t believe in our culture, government and society, should not be here – plain and simple. They are encouranged to leave & go back where they came from.
We Americans need to stand up and take back our Country, not just from the Islamics, but from all immigrants who come to our country and are trying to change our way of government. Enough is Enough!
September 6, 2007 at 3:19 pm
I commend your fine work and effort. The hypocrisy of the Islamic community is disgusting. They play the role of perpetual victim all the while using our laws against us. Europe and North America has willingly subjugated itself to the intimidation and threats of the Islamic world. They cry foul about human rights that they enjoy here that citizens in there own countries (especially Christians and Jews) do not. Keep up the good work.

Most people who study or keep up the news know what Intifada truly means. I do not know what translation method or system they were using.
The article below is just another example of how intifada is used daily in groups like Hamas, Fatah, and the PLO

Also, Al-Jazzera (English) has said that this group, Stop the Madrassa, started as a pro-war group which is a lie. It just goes to show you that we must defend our culture from these people.
October 25, 2007 at 10:54 pm
My stomach twists from reading all this. I am scared. I don’t want Islamic schools in my great country. To believe that anti-Americanism and anti-semitism is not being taught or will not be taught in this school is to be totally ignorant. We already know that these teachings are occuring right here and now in their mosques in America. These people hate us, plain and simple. Obviously this school has something to hide. If they didn’t, they would have revealed their coursework. The American Airlines pilot is correct in what he said. I have felt the same way – why don’t these people living here show their support for our country? Instead, they come here and rape it. People need to be aware of what is going on in public education. Not only this specific situation but also about what is already being published in the text books. I had the opportunity to do editing of proposed new coursework for grades 9-12 that was (may still be) published by one of the largest educational publishers in this country. I was enraged to see the author of the materials pushing his liberal political views in the curriculum books. The teachings were downright anti-American and the author lives in this country. I will not state his name nor the name of the company but the author has produced materials for this publisher in the past. I raised my concerns to the manager. She was going to push the issue up the management ladder. She said that she really didn’t think anybody before me ever questioned the content of the materials. I was dumbfounded. My sister, who has children, told me this sort of thing exists in our country’s public education materials and because of it she refuses to send her child to public schools (in Denver). Trust me, I will be checking that author’s website to see if he is still boasting about his upcoming teaching book. My sister’s son is in his last year at West Point (army officer academy). He majored in Arabic. In the future, it will be interesting to find out what he gets exposed to when dealing with these people. He will be putting his life on the line for all of us, just as all our soldier freedom fighters do. Please, everybody, must take a stand against this religion. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. There is no doubt that their teachings are anti-American, in fact anti-anything that isn’t Islam or Islamic in practice. History repeats itself; read about the Ottoman Empire. This is the goal of the Muslims; to spread Islam across the world. Everybody must wake up, and everybody must stand up to the liberals in our country who are making it very very easy for this religion (which is also Muslim politics) to take over from within our own borders.

Great website! I will return as I continue my research. I’ve been frustrated by the casual disinterest in this topic – and the multifaceted threat of Islam. My response is to weave the threat into works of fiction. After all, Americans will spend more time entertaining than educating themselves. Maybe we can reach a few more through that medium.
I added you to my blogroll and have included a link to your site on a blog posting I wrote regarding threat that Madrassah schools represent to civilization.
Keep up the good work.

It sounds like our leaders don’t really understand the danger of Islam. I read an article the other day by Amil Imani called The Trojan Horse. it is exactly what Islam is.
Trying to dominate and take over little by little but we should never forget that their goal is to dominate the world.
Islam should be declared illegal like communism was.
It is infiltrating our judicial system too.
look at this petition

We must get together and fight this disease.

American dollars should not be paying for Islamic schools.
Somehow the word has to get out about what is happening in our schools. We need to have “eyes in the back of our heads” to watch what is taking place. Islamic teachings are being infiltrated into every walk of American life……this is the way they think they can take over.
I was appalled by the use of the Koran for a swearing in ceremony by one of our elected officials. Obviously his allegiance is not to the United States but to Allah……..
What is wrong with this country lately. I think they are asleep at the helm.

hi
i would like to propose that you consider the Lebanese Curiculum for teaching arabic.
Due to the countries diverse population(christians and muslims) the government decided to create a curriculum that teaches arabic language and arabic culture(with concentration on Lebanese culture) without any religious or political bias. these textbooks are used in the majority of arabic christian schools in lebanon and canada and they teach many ideals such as democracy, freedom of speech, liberty, and others.
if you need more details dont hesitate to contact me
