Teach your children well. Rather amazing, is it not, that statements like these are made anywhere in the world, and people take them for granted and consider those who make them to be the victims of “Islamophobia.”
“Authorities seize schoolbook that praises Islamic radicalism,” Asia News, March 24, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Jakarta (AsiaNews/Agencies) – The Religious Affairs Ministry banned the distribution of an Islamic religious textbook for high school grades that contain radical religious notions.
Alarm bells were set off after controversial content was found in an exercise book for 11th graders in Jombang, East Java.
Indonesia’s Minister of Education and Culture Anies Rasyid Baswedan gave the order to pull all the copies of the textbook and announced an investigation into the case. The government’s quick response prevented it from being distributed to the country’s schools.
The textbook contained notions based on the radical Wahhabi school of thought (which is dominant in Saudi Arabia). Page 78, for example, says, “People who worship anything other than Allah are infidels and it is permitted to kill them.”
Moderate Muslim leaders slammed the textbook. Kamaruddin Amin, director general for Islamic education at the Ministry, said he was disturbed by the story. “Just imagine if the book had been distributed throughout Indonesia and had been read by 57 million children.”
According to Kamaruddin, the textbook’s authors (whose identity has not been revealed yet) do not understand the democratic identity that Indonesia has developed in recent decades. “The authors have to understand Indonesia’s diversity.”
Even Salahudin Wahid, an Islamic cleric, condemned the Wahhabi doctrine contained in textbooks. In his view, they contradict the values of Islam. “Killing people is not allowed,” he added.
According to Minister Baswedan, the inclusion of extremist material in textbooks is the result of a rushed job. “The quality of the book has been compromised. This should not have happened,” he said.
The fight against Islamic extremism is one of the biggest challenges the Indonesian government is currently facing. Not only are some Indonesians eagerly joining the Islamic State group, but domestic extremist groups have been battling government troops at home.
Faced with threats of extremist influence in communication media, Rudiantara, the minister of Communication and Information, also set up a task force to counter websites containing material glorifying Islamic radicalism.
The team will also include Islamic clerics, some from the Ulema Council.
That’ll fix it.
American says
These people (Moderate Muslims) must know that their religion is bogus, why do they continue with it? The Wahhabi guy just has to pull out his Qur’an and show “Look, it says so right here”. So, by definition, the “Moderate Muslim” is an apostate, for which the punishment is death. Islam has to be scrapped.
BC says
Both Fascism and communism had brain washing down to a T, but Islam could have given them lessons and it probably did. They are branded like calves with the Islam brand and hear nothing else throughout their lives. That is why Islam thrives by enslaving people’s minds.
abad says
Exactly. It rescues their self-perceived state of existential anxiety.
M S case says
muslim kids don’t have a chance to better themselves and get out of islam altogether so I can understand why they have killing on the brain. Taught this crap from the cradle to the grave and in isis the grave can come quicker The Koran is enough without adding other murder books..
Ephesian says
The trouble is,they actually believe it,they are brought up with this evilness,they know no other.And…I agree,just because you can point to a certain thing in a bookdoesn’t make it right.If I wrote a book,the basis of which was to go out and kill others not like you,I would be arrested.So,if the person who wrote(or recieved)the quran tells muslims to go out and kill,surely they can see the evilness of this? Surely they can see that all they are instructed to do is from satan himself?If not,then their darkness is truly dark,their souls lost for all eternity.
KrazyKafir says
So called moderates are important in the ummah, as they serve to soothe the gullible dhimmis while acting as carriers of the virulent ideology.
Huck Folder says
Exactly.
Where do ‘extremists’, ‘jihadists’, ‘radicals’, ‘salafists’, ‘wahhabists’ come from?
They don’t spring fully-formed from the womb.
They don’t come from the ranks of Christians/Jews/Buddhists…
THEY COME FROM THE RANKS OF THE ‘MODERATES’.
Shane says
Yes, people who think Islam can be reformed into a peaceful religion are deluding themselves. Islam was reformed into Whabbism, and it got much worse.
JamesonRocks says
As time goes by, I have come to believe that there is no radical islam and there is no moderate islam. There is only islam. But, of course, this would make me “islamophobic.”
AJ Liberphile says
I wish counterjihadists would learn to spell. It’s “islamofauxbic”.

Muslims who support violence against infidels are the true Muslims, while the Muslims who want to live in peace are perverting the Islam that Muhammad taught. Defintion of a peaceful Muslim – A Muslim who has run out of ammunition.
dumbledoresarmy says
You wrote – “Defintion of a peaceful Muslim – A Muslim who has run out of ammunition.”
Another version – “A peaceful Muslim = A Muslim who has yet to acquire ammunition”.
shrugger says
It’s not “Radical” islam. It’s “Literal” islam.
LSWCHP says
Imagine the worldwide uproar if a western country had got to the stage of distributing a school text book that said “People who worship Allah are Muslims and it is permitted to kill them”.
AJ Liberphile says
I’m actually coming round to the idea that we need to simply reverse engineer koran chapter 9 and treat Muslims as they would kuffar.
citycat says
It goes further back to the Islamic inception to conquer through fear
Islam would not exist he not for
“killing people”- the fear generator

According to Minister Baswedan, the inclusion of extremist material in textbooks is the result of a rushed job. “The quality of the book has been compromised. This should not have happened,” he said.
………………………………..
I’ve worked in technical publishing, and I’ve seen the results of rush jobs—mostly uncorrected typos and a lack of fact checking.
But the accidental inclusion of material enjoining the faithful to kill unbelievers? Gotta admit, that’s a new one on me…
AJ Liberphile says
Indeed. I’ve spotted a lot of errors in API guides, microprocessor datasheets and configuration references, but never once had to edit out an accidently-inserted instruction to commit genocide.
gravenimage says
Yup. This is right down there with generic claims of “taken out of context” in attempts to whitewash Islam.
tilda says
There are two sources for texts used in Indonesian schools: government and commercial publishers. Either way, someone within a government department commissioned and approved or reviewed and approved the book for use in the schools. (Two types of schools in Indonesia — religious and general. The involvement of the Ministry of Religious Affairs suggests that the schools involved were probably religious schools.)
The renegade says
“People who worship anything other than Allah are infidels and it is permitted to kill them.”
So it’s official – Allah is actually a “thing” not God. So Muslims worship a “thing” called Allah.
This thing in my view is the evil satan incarnate who goes by the name “Allah”.
Allah in literal translation of Arabic means God.
These people don’t understand qualities of God to worship God.
How can they as well – how can a savage be taught civility if he chooses to be a savage and that is what appeals to his/her core nature when death/ destruction/ causing grief / misery is itself is the sole purpose of their nature or being.
Muslims who choose to follow Islam are walking towards the doors of death and destruction which is inevitable. They could have got away with it thousand/ hundreds of years ago when there was no television, media etc.
No they are getting away with murder because we are selfish and choose to look away and not face the danger that is threatening entire civilisations that is Muhammad’s Lie called Islam.
Evil rises when good people remain silent and do nothing and every year politicians and bankers keep loading up their coffers from oil money while rest of humanity I.e. 90 percent plus keep counting and cremating / burying the dead as a result of Islam’s action while apparently there is perpetual juhad that remains active or dormant as long as people with blind faith choose to follow the MUHAMMAD’s LIE and not their God given conscience and intelligence which separates a human from the rest of earth divergent species including the choice to be merciful……
What has a beginning has an end… Islam will end as brutally as it began through death and destruction…
Truth is God and God is truth and truth will ultimately prevail, but everything has a particular time and moment of occurrence.
Every LIE IS ULTIMATELY EXPOSED TO MAKE WAY FOR THE TRUTH.
Muhammad’s LIE will be exposed and defeated by TRUTH.

What is the surprise? right here in the USA they teach about Islam in public schools, they even have special trips to mosques. When a child brought a Bible to school to read on HER OWN FREE TIME, the teacher threw the Bible into the garbage.
The educational system in the US is pro Islam, anti Jewish and Christian. Satan really is doing one fine job of having his minions spreading his doctrine of evil.
Robert Spencer, could you bring back any articles of of anti Christian sentiments being displayed by our so called “leaders” of education? Like the instance mentioned above?
Screeminmeeme says
If the truth about Islam was taught in American classrooms, there would be an outcry from the Left about how the kids were being frightened by all the gory, violent facts.
sheik yer'mami says
We are paying for this. Australia pays Indonesia some $2 billion annually in jiziya for mosques and madrassas, in the hope that they teach a “moderate” Islam.
As you can see, there is no such thing.

No—I won’t comment further on the irony of the semi-literate “Brian Hoff” holding forth on the issue of typographical errors.
The idea that his mother works in supplying material to the US military is rather terrifying, though.
Let’s assume for the sake of argument that “Brian Hoff’s” somewhat implausible scenario is factual—this would have resulted from a simple typo where “brake” is misspelled as “bra”. This sort of thing can indeed happen when a manuscript is not properly proofread, especially if the misspelled word is itself a proper word.
Implying that including a line about slaughtering the unbelievers is just the same sort of errata is simply grotesque, and something only a pious Mohammedan would posit.

Australian priest and scholar Rev Dr Mark Durie has just written a very illuminating article about what he defines as Islam’s “warrant to kill”.
http://www.frontpagemag.com/2015/mark-durie/challenging-islams-warrant-to-kill/
It’s a keeper. And it explains why Australian PM Tony Abbott’s definition of Islamic State as a “death cult” doesn’t go anywhere *near* the actual, awful reality we are facing (and have been facing, all of us kuffar, for 1400 years and counting). Namely, that ISLAM AS SUCH, not just “Islamic State” is a death cult…and strictly speaking, not so much as ‘death cult’ a la Jim Jones (in which the adherents go off to some remote locality and off themselves) but a *murder* cult, a system of human sacrifice, whereby the only way the adherents can be absolutely sure of avoiding ‘hell’ or gaining ‘paradise’ is by…human-sacrificing an Infidel.
It’s *all about the killing*. It always has been. At the core of Islam is the licensing and sacralising of ritual murder of certain types of humans who are defined as Designated Prey. When Muslims have no actual kuffar handy to murder, or the available kuffar are too well defended, they fall back upon murdering each other…
We’re dealing with a human sacrifice cult, ladies and gentlemen.

“When Muslims have no actual kuffar handy to murder, or the available kuffar are too well defended, they fall back upon murdering each other…”
Yeah, just to prove to the world what REAL CHICKENS, i.e., PIGS, that they really are!
Touché! Spoken like a true kuffar – couldn’tve said it better!!!
RG says
@dumbledoresarmy.
It’s just beyond all rationality how ludicrous the teachings of islam really are! Just imagine if all the world religions awarded their adherents based upon how many ‘non-believers’ the “true believer” could murder in cold blood! GOD, islam is stupid!!!
