Anti-dhimmitude. Many other Islamic schools will have to be closed if this is the criterion: the teaching of “jihad and intolerance toward other religions.” By Greg Simmons for FoxNews (thanks to Threat of Islam):
WASHINGTON “” A congressionally mandated panel that promotes religious freedom is recommending the Bush administration close a Virginia-based Islamic school run by the Saudi government if school officials don’t comply with demands to turn over textbooks that may include lessons on jihad and intolerance toward other religions.
“Significant concerns remain about whether what is being taught at the (school) promotes religious intolerance and may adversely affect the interests of the United States,” said a report released Thursday by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.
Saudi embassy officials say the books long ago were cleaned up and made available to commission members, but the commissioners never bothered to go to The Islamic Saudi Academy in Northern Virginia, just outside Washington, D.C., to check them out for themselves.
