This is the prime example of stupidity and ignorance that is sweeping this country. This is an over emotional response to learning. When did it not become ok just to learn about other religions, Since when does it represent that our country is being taken over by Muslims, just to talk about other cultures. Too many people are swept away by these blogs that act as news sources. They are not. They are not rigorous peer reviewed standards. Its an over emotional take on stuff that 20 years ago, wouldnt have mattered.
THEY METIKNNED ALLAHHHH IN MY KIDS CLASSROOOM!!!! FIREALL THEM SAND PEOPLE!
I get it. If they were teaching Islam, and not christianity and trying to indocronate these kids, that would be a big issue. They werent. Thats the issue. Is that many read these uniformed blogs, and just the headlines, and the assume the worst. Its amazing how emotional people have become.
I get the claims that Islam is a violent religion. No argument there. But every one of these 3 (one was repeated) was taken out of context.
Hunnington- The district’s seventh-grade social studies classes use a curriculum from the state that includes lessons on major world religions like Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism, the district said. They had a character, who was Islamic, saying he believed in Allah being the only god. Well, according to someone who is Muslim, they think that. Its not rocket science. Just like someone who is polytheistic, believes in many gods. Its not advocating religion, its having children study it. But according to others the mere mention is indoctrination, which is pure hysteria and emotion.
Tennessee- They were doing an assignment on Islam: They did this assignment where they wrote out the Five Pillars of Islam, including having the children learn and write the Shahada, which is the Islamic conversion creed," she explained. They werent indoctrinating children to Islam, merely teaching it. Yet HeismanWhitesRule thinks its making kids do this. It is not based in reality and is an over emotional response. They were righting out the 5 doctrines of Islam, which most people know. Prayer to Mecca, Visits to mecca, charity to poor, fasting, and then the 1st commandment. To learn a subject isnt to indoctrinate them and to attempt to insist that is the case is lazy thinking. Its ok to learn about things different than you. Different isnt bad.
Georgia- So if you actually read the article, which tries its best to make you scared: Georgia tries to mandate that students be able to “Compare and contrast the prominent religions in Southwest Asia (Middle East): Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. In Walton County, that manifested itself in a homework assignment one parent found objectionable: “Allah is the [blank] worshiped by Jews & Christians,” the document said. The child filled in the blank with “same God.” So the child is a dumb ass, and its middle school's fault? They arent teaching, but once again the whole over emotional reaction.
None of these articles show we are indoctrinating our children with Islam. Merely teaching a student about Islam does not equate to indoctrinating, not matter what reality you live in. If the state were, we would have a huge issue, but none seem to have it when Under God was in the pledge?
But this is the type of lazy thinking and mass hysteria that is constantly shown. People dont actually read the evidence of the cases, they dont take into account the facts, and then they emotionally react.
