Islamic Jihad in American schools

Our education system has also been infiltrated by Islamic Jihad:

A New Jersey middle school that caught flak last year for requiring students to watch videos on Islam was hit Tuesday with a federal complaint.

Represented by the Thomas More Law Center, parent Libby Hilsenrath says a teacher assigned her 12-year-old’s seventh-grade class at Chatham Middle School to watch two videos at home with proselytizing messages.

The first video, “Intro to Islam,” is set to a musical version of a poem that describes “Christians and Jews as ‘infidels’ and prais[es] Muhammad in gruesome detail for slaughtering them,” according to the complaint.

Calling it a “conversion video,” Hilsenrath says the 5-minute assignment was “replete with biased, chastising statements encouraging the students … to follow the Quran and become Muslim.”

“Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is the last & final Messenger of God,” one such unqualified message in the video states.

In addition to presenting the religious teachings of Islam as facts, Hilsenrath says the video includes a link where students can download “Qaseedah Burdah,” the song with references to killing infidels.

Hilsenrath notes that the second video, an explanation of the five pillars of Islam, is a cartoon where a Muslim child explains the tenants of Islam to his non-Muslim friend, then ends with both boys walking off to “learn how to pray.”

“Due to the fact that these doctrinal messages calling for conversion to Islam were included in video format with vivid images and text, they possess greater communicative impact and are more likely to be accepted by the students viewing them than information that is spoken in a classroom or even written in a book,” the complaint states.

A worksheet component of the assignment meanwhile focused on the shahada, what Hilsenrath calls “the Islamic conversion creed and prayer.”

“Clearly, seventh graders were given a sugarcoated, false depiction of Islam,” the Thomas More Law Center said in a statement. “They were not informed of the kidnappings, beheadings, slave-trading, massacres, and persecution of non-Muslims, nor of the repression of women — all done in the name of Islam.”

Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel of the law center, issued a statement as well. “After watching this video, I can’t imagine any reasonable person saying this is not Islamic indoctrination,” he said.

And...

But Hilsenrath says the school’s conduct betrays hostility toward Christians. When confronted about the curriculum in January 2017, according to the complaint, Chatham’s social studies department chair sent an email where he linked to what he called a “priceless” clip from TV’s “The West Wing.” In the scene, the president character mocks a fundamentalist Christian about various tenets of the Old Testament, such as its endorsement of slavery.

Kate Oliveri, an attorney at the Thomas More center, said the email would not be released at this time.

After her television appearance on the Fox News Channel, Hilsenrath claimed she was attacked in her community but swore to “fight against the Islamic indoctrination now taking place in Chatham,” according to a statement posted on the Thomas More Law Center website.

Ilana Freedman provides more history:

In 2005, President George Bush initiated a program to introduce into the public school system a detailed, ten lesson program, designed to be used in grades 5 through 12, called “Access Islam.” The program, which was developed by the U.S. Department of Education and expanded under the Obama administration, is a detailed, hands-on study program about Islam, its customs and prayers, and a sanitized version of its ideology. “Access Islam” is supported by federal funds and promoted and distributed by the National Public Broadcasting Service and Ohio State University, which both operate multiple websites on which they post the detailed lesson plans and teachers notes.

The lesson plans include worksheets and videos to help students not only learn about Islam, but perform the proclamation of Muslim faith and learn the 5 Pillars of Islam, including prayer, fasting, and zakat (or obligatory annual tax payment) . The fifth pillar, pilgrimage to Mecca, is the only one the children are, of course, not required to execute in this program. Through this program, however, the children learn how to perform a Muslim prayer, memorize verses from the Quran, dress in traditional Muslim clothing, learn the importance of the zakat tax (minus its obligatory use for jihad), and even try fasting to emulate the Muslim practice of abstaining from food and water from dawn to dusk during Ramadan.

On June 25, 1962, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the prayer, “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our Country,” when uttered in a public school setting, was contrary to U.S. Constitution because it violated their First Amendment rights, which prevented the  government from establishing and promoting religion. In 1963, the court also banned Bible reading in school.

According to Dennis Michael Lynch, the Christian Action Network (CAN) “has retained the law firm of Carroll, Ucker and Hemmer, LLC and they have contacted Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, as well as PaulaKerger (Public Broadcasting Service) and Michael Drake (Ohio State University), demanding that the “Access Islam” program be terminated because it is in violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which prohibits the use of public monies to promote religion.”

The Supreme Court rulings raise serious questions about how children can be forbidden to pray in school, even silent prayer, but a large ‘educational’ unit on Islam, which includes prayer, can be allowed. It speaks to the extraordinary success and the degree of influence that the Muslim Brotherhood has achieved in bringing Islam into the public schools – with government endorsement and funding – under the guise of ‘education’.

Could this be happening in South Dakota? Very possible:

Islam in America often uses a softer approach that has proven effective in spreading the faith, say those who delivered the Christian worldview message in Sioux Falls that Jaber was so eager to disrupt.

In Arabic, the Muslim form of evangelism or “invitation” is called “dawah,” says Shahram Hadian, a former Muslim turned Christian pastor who heads up Truth in Love Ministries near Spokane, Washington.

Americans will embrace Islam

As an example of dawah, Hadian points to a sermon delivered by a visiting preacher in Sioux Falls last August. Dr. Jihad Qaddour came to Sioux Falls to encourage local Muslims to share Islam with Americans. If done the right way, he sees America embracing Islam, not by force but by choice.

 

Instead of the bloodcurdling rant that flowed from Jaber, Americans heard Qaddour speaking in soft, melodious tones about “love” and “mercy.”

Hadian said dawah is often connected to the first pillar of Islam – inviting people to pray and confess the shahada: “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.”

That’s why the planting of Islamic studies into U.S. public schools is so important to those seeking to normalize Islam and Islamic principles in the U.S.

• See WND’s recent report on “Access Islam,” a series of lesson plans created with grants from the U.S. Department of Education teaching students how to be good Muslims.
• See WND’s report on “The 5 Pillars,” a cartoon shown to middle schoolers in New Jersey that some call blatant Islamic proselytizing.

Qaddour, a native of Syria who is actively involved in outreach to Syrian refugees, was a founding member of the Islamic Society of Wichita, Kansas. He received his Ph.D in electrical engineering from Wichita State University in 1990 and is now a tenured professor at Illinois State University.

Dr. Jihad is also a known front man for the Muslim Brotherhood in America, and his organization maintains friendly connections in the U.S. State Department, reports the Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Watch.

He came to speak about dawah at the Muslims Community Center, the newest of three mosques in Sioux Falls, built with donations from an array of entities including Catholic Charities.

Qaddour said “America is the best society for dawah” and that Muslims should seek to “change this society” in accordance with the dictates of the Quran.

Like many small- to medium-sized cities in the U.S., Sioux Falls has seen an exploding Muslim population since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, D.C.

Sioux Falls is now home to between 4,000 and 5,000 Muslims, the vast majority of them imported from overseas through the federal government’s refugee resettlement program. The United Nations-selected refugees have been sent to Sioux Falls from Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Eritrea and Syria.

“Now it is 4,000. Next year it will be 8,000 [in Sioux Falls],” Qaddour boasted in making the point that Islam is growing “exponentially” across America.

“Your Marxists, Catholics, neo-evangelicals and Lutherans are helping bring them here,” observes Brannon Howse, who hosts a nationally syndicated Christian radio show called “Worldview Weekend.”

But others will be added to the ranks when Americans start responding to dawah and converting to Islam in large numbers, Qaddour said. The growth, fueled by immigration and dawah, will be “exponential,” he said.

The number of mosques will grow accordingly.

“Soon we will have one on every corner. This is reality,” Qaddour continued in his address to Sioux Falls Muslims. “First we have to have one idea. We want to change this society. It starts with an idea. Talk about Islam in a nice way. Be truthful, be helpful. ‘I love you for [your] humanity.’ They will come to Islam.

“Our message is mercy to all people,” he continued. “They hear on the news it’s terrorism but, no, we tell them it’s mercy.”

The objective of Islam through dawah outreach is clear, Qaddour said. “Rescue them from the hell fire.”

Hadian, a former Muslim from Iran who defected to Canada and later the U.S., said Qaddour is following the classic Muslim Brotherhood script for takeover of a Western society.

Hadian said the Brotherhood has one strategy for the “lower house,” in Western countries where its presence is still small, and another strategy once Islam becomes more established and is able to push its numbers up to about 10 percent of a country’s population. The preaching in the mosques changes once Islam shifts to the “upper house” and is strong enough to preach a message focused more on intolerance of other faiths.

“We talk about love and mercy and tolerance in the lower house, but we don’t tell them that ‘mercy’ means something else in the upper house, where we kill homosexuals, stone or flog adulterers, kill apostates – this is the way to show them mercy in the upper house,” Hadian said.

“The Muslim Brotherhood has said to name their houses of worship Islamic centers and Islamic community center, not mosques,” he said.

But dawah is how it starts, with talk of mercy, peace and tolerance for everyone.

“Europe is now moving to the upper house. This is where you rape them. It’s no longer sweet and romantic and about love and mercy and great Middle Eastern food,” Hadian said. “This plays well into the multicultural worldview.”

He said it’s exactly what Western liberals want to hear, and so that is what is preached by Muslims skilled in dawah.

Note Taneeza Islam and the iman form the Islamic Center of Sioux Falls lead the protest on April 9, 2017 where Shahram Hadian and Brandon Howse spoke:

“She’s connected to that mosque in Sioux Falls, and very politically active,” Hadian said.
And that mosque, the Islamic Center of Sioux Falls, is owned lock, stock and barrel by the North American Islamic Trust or NAIT, which has been linked to the extremist Muslim Brotherhood.

“She was there at a protest outside the hotel where I spoke in April, she was with the imam doing the prayers, they had all the interfaith people standing around them with their backs to the Muslims and their faces turned out while the Muslims were doing their prayers, that’s a great picture of how foolish these people are,” Hadian said of the April event.

On January 10, 2018 Taneeza Islam and her interfaith harlots Jihad arrived at South Dakota's legislative session. Yes, the dawah component of the Muslin Brotherhood's Jihadi agenda is in full force here in South Dakota. We need to look for it in our schools.

Actually, Israel is the great Satan and the United Snakes is the little Satan but we’ll all be dead soon anyway so whatevs.

Remember the stabbing that happened at the Mall of America on Nov.12, 2017? Well, Mahad Abdiaziz Adbiraham plead guilty and his statement isn't going to surprise you. It may surprise others, because the trusted Star Tribune didn't print it in their story. Why, I wonder?

His statement went like this...

“I understand that the two men I stabbed know and have explained the reason for my attack, and I am here reaffirming that it was indeed an act of Jihad in the way of Allah.”

Abdiraham also said in the statement that Americans will not be safe as long as “your country is at war with Islam.”

We will never bring our family to the Mall of America and will avoid the Twin Cities at all costs.

Who was it that questioned No-Go-Zones in MPLS? Who was it that questioned why not to trust the Star Tribune? Internet bullies at SDWC comment section, that's who. Journalists and media outlets have a responsibility to tell the truth, to tell the public what's really happening. Thankfully there are some who will do just that. Thanks, Steve.
