Pipes: What Are Islamic Schools Teaching?

Daniel Pipes writes in FrontPage (thanks to all who sent this in) about the Ottawa Islamic school scandal and similar incidents.

“Shocked” is how Aisha Sherazi, principal of the Abraar Islamic school in Ottawa, described the reaction of the school’s administration and board on learning last week that two of its teachers had incited hatred of Jews.

And “shocked” was how Mumtaz Akhtar, president of the Muslim-Community Council of Ottawa-Gatineau, described his own reaction to the front-page news about the Abraar school.

But they may have been the only two persons on the planet to be “shocked” to learn that teachers at an Islamic school are promoting anti-Semitism or other aspects of the Islamist agenda. The fact is, inquiries into Islamic schools repeatedly discover just such a radical Islamic outlook. Some examples:

• New York City: An investigation by the New York Daily News in 2003 found that books used in the city’s Muslim schools “are rife with inaccuracies, sweeping condemnations of Jews and Christians, and triumphalist declarations of Islam’s supremacy.”
• Los Angeles: The Omar Ibn Khattab Foundation donated 300 Korans (titled The Meaning of the Holy Quran) to the city school district in 2001 that within months had to be pulled from school libraries because of its antisemitic commentaries. One footnote reads: “The Jews in their arrogance claimed that all wisdom and all knowledge of Allah was enclosed in their hearts…Their claim was not only arrogance but blasphemy.”
• Ajax, Ontario, 50 kilometers east of Toronto: The Institute of Islamic Learning is a Canadian emulation of the extremist Deobandi madrassahs of Pakistan. It focuses exclusively on religious topics, has students memorize the Koran, demands total segregation from the Canadian milieu, and requires complete gender separation. Former students complained about the school’s cult-like devotion to its head, Abdul Majid Khan, and complained that it “twisted religion and used it to its own benefit.”

Read it all. Many links in the original.

Yeh, they are shocked, next liar stand up.

Outside of Mein Kampf, the Qur'an is the most widely read (and sadly respected by the likes of Bush, The Pope and Christian leaders) anti semitic diatribe
on this planet.

Islam may condemn Jews and Christians, but will let them live in dhimmitude, that option is not available to us nasty secularists (which the likes of infants like Gary love to hate) and pagans.

We are afforded two choices either convert or die.

Giaour, you just love to be Wrong, don't you? Eh, you shall be ignored from here forward. And the anti-Western goals you favor shall continue to fail. We shall Not become the USSA.

If Aisha Sherazi, principal of the Abraar Islamic school in Ottawa and Mumtaz Akhtar, president of the Muslim-Community Council of Ottawa-Gatineau are shocked over such a letter that was written by 2 young students .... then how shocked should they be over these commands stright from their own god?...

004.101 When ye travel through the earth , there is no blame on you if ye shorten your prayers, for fear the Unbelievers May attack you: For the Unbelievers are unto you open enemies.

004.092 Never should a believer kill a believer [But the 'unbelievers' - they are commanded to slay. That includes ALL who believe in the Son of God} 009.030 ]

009.004 (But the treaties are) not dissolved with those Pagans with whom ye have entered into alliance and who have not subsequently failed you in aught, nor aided any one against you. So fulfil your engagements with them to the end of their term.

009.005 But when the forbidden months are past [when the 'treaties' expire} then fight and slay the Pagans ''''wherever'''' ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war.

047.004 Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers in fight, smite at their necks. -- [Cut their throats!]

If those commands from the Koran do not break Canadian laws - then what does?

Asking all Muslims -- Aren't you shocked at such viciousnous? Is that the kind of person you want to be?

Your god said something - and you'd be wise to ponder it carefully:

008:048 Remember Satan made their sinful acts seem alluring to them, and said: "No one among men can overcome you this day, while I am near to you": But when the two forces came in sight of each other, he turned on his heels, and said: "Lo! I am clear of you; lo! I see what ye see not; Lo! I fear Allah: for Allah is strict in punishment."

Asking ALL Muslims -- Is it a sinful act -- to behead another?

If you say yes - then you call your own allah a liar.

If you say no - then what are you doing in Canada?

And what of the voices of the leaders of Canada? Where are they?

We have "Leaders" in Canada?,I think you meant
"Followers" because they Govern by pols and
join the citizens that suit their cause.

The Liberal platforms were to kill the Free-trade deal,kill the GST(TAX),buy new choppers for our military(to replace the 40 year old SeaKings) ,oppose Gay marriage,lower gasoline taxes,join Norad's plan for BMD,and on and on.

They're now in favour of same gender marriage based on a "Human Rights" defence and
the other promises fell to the wayside for a more PC approach to winning the next election.
I guess Canada's stand on Human rights for Gays
to marry will mean that from now on we will only do trade with Countries that respect that Human right and stop oppressing homosexuals.

I believe in taking it one step at a time.

The first step I'm interested in - is for the leaders of Canada to give an answer on what to do about Islam's god's commands.

What difference does it make - concerning any other sins [of which we're ALL guilty] - if people are aloud to start beheading each other?

I want to know what the leaders of Canada plan on doing about it!

I want to see the Canadians demand an answer from them!

I want to see the Canadians CORNER CAIR for answers - not allowing them to evade the honest answers - as they constantly do.

I want to see the Canadian leaders on the HOT SEAT - as to whether CAIR is a legal body - taking council using Canadain Law!

Canadian Law condemns the Koran - and CAIR also!

Why are these Truths NOT BEING CONFRONTED???

Let it be known - that it is possible - that I am among the first [of many] to start making these demands!

Gary
this is not Jihad Watch[chistians/right wingers only]

Shiva~ I quite agree. I also look at what is happening in Sweden or Holland or Canada... and realize that the people giaour supports, brought about what is happening in those countries, also. 'Middle ground' does not mean 'total capitulation' of one side's ideals to the other. Nor does it mean 'equal by means of rendering everyone miserable.' Let's take God out of politics, fine- but not at the Expense of the culture that Created the West.

The Original culture and values, not the distortion ('christian' reconstructionism) that giaour appears to see wherever he sees Christians.

Gary
you dont have a clue

About 'christian' reconstruction? You are correct! A bullshit group like that doesn't stand a prayer in Hell of running any country, let alone the US. About as much chance as the 2007 tsunami will happen.

'The nation, as a whole, must use its collective resources to the fullest to ensure that the tenets of this 5000-yr old civilization are kept alive through suburban locals. In this context, I also have some other suggestions to ensure this heritage thrives untrammeled despite massive conspiracies being hatched by the Congress, secularists, Islamic terrorists and South Indians. '

Substitute 2000 years of Christianity and the continent of Europe (and then the US/Canada). Sure seems to make sense, rather than tear down Everything and begin from scratch. We saw how well that worked from 1792 to 1812 in France.

Have a safe evening, everyone.

The evidence mounts, showing us quite clearly what Islamic schools are teaching. Afterall, if mosques spew hatred and intolerance, why would Islamic schools be any different? Does anybody believe that they teach their little kiddies some fairy tale version of Islam, and only teach them the nasty version of Islam when they turn 18? From day one: hate, hate, hate.

This principal at the Abraar school is only shocked that they were discovered. By a newspaper that went snooping around. The hateful report was proudly displayed in a glass case, for all to see. If she didn't notice it, how come no other students did? Or parents? Was the glass case hidden in the janitor's cupboard? Now all the typical excuses you hear when Muslims are caught. If it's not "out of context" or "I was misunderstood", we've got this one claiming she doesn't know Arabic. But the pictures were rather sick and disturbing. The burning Star of David. The guns, the terrorist, the general look and feel of the illustration. Hint, hint.

Western countries stupidly think this is just anti-Israel stuff. Perfectly understandable, considering the trendiness and increasing acceptability of hating Israel. We don't see the big picture. The Israel thing is the perfect cover for their general hatred of and death-wish for Jews, and all others. When they finish with the Jews, they'll come after the rest of us.

Ala-sux, are you SURE there's still an international boundary in the vicinity of the Great Lakes? Why, it sounds like you're following a bunch of AMERICAN politicos up there. Then again, ours just follow the polls made by those who happen to be shouting the loudest--a little like the way the ancient Franks elected their kings.
