Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic State schools ban math, music, philosophy, history, French and geography as incompatible with Islam

Oct 29, 2015 2:53 pm By Robert Spencer

They are following in the illustrious footsteps of the caliph Umar, who is supposed to have said when ordering the ancient, fabled library of Alexandria to be burned: “If the books agree with the Qur’an, they are superfluous. If they disagree with it, they are heretical.”

“One former elementary teacher from A-Raqqa tells of a colleague who earned 30 lashes for deviating from the Islamic State narrative. ‘He had drawn a map of Syria and written on it the names of neighboring states,’ said Abu Abdullah. ‘According to the Islamic State, there are no other states besides theirs,’ he said.” That’s an interesting illustration of how the Islamic State is attempting to overturn the order of the world. According to the UN and the elected heads of the various governments of the world, all states exist except the Islamic State: the UN is full of states covering almost all the world’s land mass, and the single largest territory whose government it does not accept as legitimate is that of the Islamic State. Meanwhile, the Islamic State says just the opposite: that all the governments of the UN, all that nattering hive of hatred and self-righteousness and post-modern Beyond-All-Thatness, is illegitimate, and only their state, even more hateful and even more self-righteous but not Beyond All That at all, is the true government for the world.

Whichever side wins, free people are in for a rough ride.

Islamic State curriculum

“Every child left behind in the Islamic State’s new elementary schools,” Syria Direct, October 27, 2015 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):

AMMAN: The Islamic State opened elementary schools in the eastern Deir e-Zor countryside on Monday, imposing strict regulations dictating what students wear, how teachers teach and to what grade girls are permitted to study, local teachers and opposition media reported.

Under penalty of fines or arrests, parents in the east Deir e-Zor town of Mayadin, for example, must send their children to IS-run schools in a “Pakistani style” uniform of long-sleeved shirts and trousers, reported the local media campaign Deir e-Zor is Being Slaughtered Silently on Monday.

Mayadin teachers are supposed to be paid a monthly wage of 35 IS dinars, made of silver, and girls are only taught to the fourth grade, according to the Deir e-Zor is Being Slaughtered Silently report.

“I’m not quite sure what 35 IS silver dinars will get you, but I’ll tell you nobody’s laid eyes on one of those coins as of yet,” Abu Mujahid a-Shami, the head of the Deir e-Zor is Being Slaughtered Silently Campaign told Syria Direct on Tuesday.

Classes are segregated by gender, beginning in the first grade, reported pro-opposition Step News Agency Monday.

One former elementary teacher from A-Raqqa tells of a colleague who earned 30 lashes for deviating from the Islamic State narrative. “He had drawn a map of Syria and written on it the names of neighboring states,” said Abu Abdullah. “According to the Islamic State, there are no other states besides theirs,” he said.

In early 2014, the Islamic State shut down schools in Deir e-Zor and A-Raqqa, including private schools, citing the corrupting influence of Baathist curricula.

Math, music, philosophy, history, French and geography were all banned.

The schools were reopened briefly, but quickly closed again for a redesign of the curricula. “The main reason given was that the education they were giving in Syrian governmental schools was incompatible with Islam and inspired apostasy,” said Abu Abdullah….

    They banned math? Boy, Barack is gonna be pissed about this. First he bet bigtime on Islam entrepreneurialism in his famous apology speech in Cairo. Then he saw the magic unfold with the Arab Spring until the tiny minority of extremists kept popping up all over the place. But he needs to have a strong STEM curriculum as the basis to turning the Morocco-to-Pak crescent into the next Silicon Valley. Ouch.

    Maybe now he’ll step up efforts to degrade and destroy the New Caliphate. It’s about his legacy.

The mission of NASA to empower Moslem self-image is perhaps the most fantastic one yet.

      Allah is not reasonable and there are no laws of nature and so Allah is not bound by any. What use has Allah for mathematics? As for music, well, we’ve been told often enough what Allah will do on the last day to the man who sits listening to a songstress. Philosophy–BAD–might involve reason, and if it doesn’t it stlll involves things that aren’t in the Qur’an. French = language of the infidel. Geography involves scientific disciplines that run on (shock, horror!) reason. History involves study of the time of ignorance, before Islam, or, if later, it might involve the truth about the Muslim world. All these subjects are dangerous. Besides, they take time away from learning important things like Qur’an recitation, Halal cooking (for the girls), bomb manufacture (for the boys), Shari’a law and marksmanship.

        Brilliant. Allah is pure will. His will coincides with the will of the Caliph. There should be no confusion. In case of doubt between the two, the Caliph overrules Allah.

          In Islamic theology Allah is usually conceived as so almighty (despotic) that he obeys only himself, not any laws, not even those “laws” based on reason. Human reason is not considered independent but rather as a mere adjunct to the core Islamic texts and explaining how to submit to the demands in those texts. If you like history and theology, read Robert Reilly’s The Closing of the Muslim Mind.

A half-dozen countries burning in the flames of jihad, waves of moslems invading Europe, Iraq and Afghanistan collapsing into complete failures, Iran racing ahead on its nuclear bomb — and it is all HIS FAULT.

          The Abbasids moved their capital to Baghdad to be closer to Persia. Like the khalif Mahmud said, they have done without us for a thousand years, but we can not do withe out them for a day. His wife was Persian.

          The Golden Age was the age of the Abbasids who paid every translation from Greek its weight in gold. They did appreciate what the jahilliyah had contributed. They would have attained enlightenment but for two accidents. Their first press was used to print the quran and there were spelling errors in it. So the fuqaha (from fiqh, the ulama were the scientists from ilm or knowledge) incited riots, and declared presses from the devil. They were shelved. Then the Mongols sacked Baghdad and that was the end of it, the Turks took over, Mameluks, Seljuks, Ottoman–and the Arabs were back in the desert, and would have disappeared from the map where not because of the holly cities, the British and oil. This allows them to export stupidity to countries like Indonesia where some cleric recently went on public record saying it was better to have a corrupt leader than an honest infidel one, because corruption is a technical matter but taqwa a matter of the soul. Probably because of the popularity of Ahok, the Chinese Christian governor of Jakarta (who of course can not become President).

          The Turks were not really intellectuals, they were fighters and relied on conquered kafir for commerce and industry. The Ottomans then neglected Mideast and focused on conquering Europe but were halted by such anti migrant and Islamophobic right wing gangs like the Knights of Malta or the Winged Hussars… Andok\ like it goes with empires, conquer or collapse. The Ottoman reformers tried what they could to sway the Sultan/Khalif but they were frustrated by the clerics… Again and again it was proven that kaffah application of religion stands in the way of progress.

          Luckily for them the west is aware it owes them reparations for earlier racist policies like the massacre of Poitiers, the rape of Acquitania, the ethnic cleansing of Spain, the massacre of Wien,the sinking of migrant boats in Lepanto. So let’s see what they will dowith Europe after its peaceful takeover–will they carry on with the CERN, Airbus, the European space agency? However, the Europeans should prioritize a deal with the migrants that the natives pensions will be paid till the end.

        No, they did what they do best – thieved it and bragged they’d invented it. You should read Douglas Murray’s ebook “Islamophilia” – a real eye opener and amusing with all that – about the claims by “Islamic science.”

        And this article echoes what is taught in the madrassas in the UK, too, although they themselves say that it no longer is. However, see:

      They banned math? And do you know why? I suspect that the reason is that little sign universally used for additions: PLUS (+). Apparently, for Mohammedans, it must be glaring anathema, commonly associating itself (in their minds) with sign of a CROSS, a big non-no in “truly” Islamic world. So, here we go. No other countries exists for them, and simple plus sign must be forbidden, and along with it goes all the math. Maybe, just maybe, a sign of integration also associate itself with something “halal” under sharia (perhaps the “prophet” riding on Baraq to heaven?). You see.

        It’s true. They have to hate crosses. Hating crosses is central to their whole culture. Gee. I almost want to buy some Christian crosses and hang them around the place, or even wear one!
        Prior to this year it just never occurred to me that Christian crosses really piss off all these carpet pilots. I say put up crosses everywhere.

        In fact, wearing ( or otherwise imaging ) a cross with the Rabbi Jesus is DOUBLY offensive to these rodents of unusual size. It’s actually blasphemy. Now I really want to celebrate Christmas. You know, express solidarity with the Christians and stuff. And I haven’t worn a cross since church choir in seventh grade.

      Bingo! Even worse, stupid doesn’t know its stupid unless the world tells it so.

      I have refrained from referring to Islam as stupid because the ideology is more of a warlord manual and besides, its language, Arabic is, because of the great intellectual strides of Islam, the language of art, literature, and science, isn’t it? No? How can it claim Supremacy when it has no intellectual accomplishments of any value for the last 900 years?

      However, ISIS, Daesh, is really promoting ignorance of anything beyond Islamic Doctrine and cannot be called anything but stupid. Big Daddy Baghdadi may be a “scholar” at reciting and explaining Islamic doctrine but he is stupid when it comes to reality. He is destroying the future for the children of Daesh, for whom there is a passing optimum time to learn. How does a leader justify ruining a society? This is like Jim Jones or David Koresh, amplified, with the same deathly outcome.

    “Math, music, philosophy, history, French and geography were all banned.”

    Banning math is disastrous for Muslims, as they will no longer be able to do the following:

    A. Use the fraction 1/2 when referring to the testimony of a woman, as compared to that of a man;

    B. Use the number 1 when referring to Allah;

    C. Use the term “polytheists” when referring to Christians;

    D. Defend the marriage of Muhammad to Aisha when she 9;

    E. Reference the 99 names of Allah;

    F. Refer to the QuranIc verses by chapter and verse numbers;

    G. Use a lunar calendar that relies on a 30-day progression;

    H. Count the number of wives they can have at one time; or

    I. Award a punishment of 1000 lashes to an offender.

    Banning music will certainly be deleterious to their production of atrocious propaganda videos.

    Yes, there are many more ramifications that could be cited; most significantly, however, is that young devotees will be prohibited from pretending to build a clock, a major component of which requires the builder to be able to count to 60 (12 for hours and 60 for seconds). Ahmed Muhammad will be so disappointed to learn that others will be denied the opportunity to follow in his footsteps.

      Allah did not know how to add integers in his Koran. When he told Muslims how to divide an estate, his total adds up to a sum greater than the amount of the estate. THE MONEY GREW LIKE ALLAH’S NOSE!

      Contradictions in the Koranic Inheritance Law

      (Koran 4:11)
      Allah directs you as regards your children’s
      (Inheritance): to the male a portion equal to
      that of two females: if only daughters, two or
      more, Their share is two-thirds of the inheritance;
      if only one, her, share is a half.
      For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to
      each, if the deceased left children; if no
      children, and the parents are the heirs, the
      mother has a third; if the deceased left brothers
      the mother has a sixth…

      (Koran 4:12)
      In what your wives leave, your share is a half,
      if they leave no child; but if they leave a child,
      ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and
      debts. In what ye leave, their share is a fourth,
      If ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child, they
      get an eighth; after payment.

      (Koran 4:176)
      …If it is a man that dies, leaving a sister
      but no child, she shall have half the inheritance:
      If a woman dies and leaves no child, her brother
      takes her inheritance: If there are two sisters,
      they shall have two-thirds of the inheritance.
      If there are brothers and sisters, the male takes
      twice the share of the female.

      Let us suppose that a man dies and leaves behind three daughters, two parents and his wife. According to the verses stated above the three daughters together will receive 2/3 of the share, the parents will receive 1/3 of the share and the wife will receive 1/8 of the share.

      Do the math once again: 2/3 + 1/3 + 1/8 = 9/8 = 1.125. The distribution of the property adds up to more than the available property! How can this distribution be possible? Once again Mohammed displays his inability to add. Well, if a person can’t add integers then it is unprobable that he would know how to add fractions.

      Another example: A man dies and leaves behind his mother, his wife and two sisters. According to what Mohammed has stated in Koran 4:11-12 and 4:176 the mother will receive 1/3 of the property, the wife will receive 1/4 of the property and the sisters will receive 2/3 of the property.

      Let us add up the fractions again: 1/3 + 2/3 + 1/4 = 5/4 = 1.25 and once again it adds up to more than the available property.

      • Cecilia Ellis says

        Oct 30, 2015 at 4:25 am

    The printing press reached Muslim lands in 1492. However, printing was banned by Islamic authorities because they believed the Koran would be dishonored by appearing out of a machine. As a result, Arabs did not acquire the printing press until the late 18th century.
    All scientific reasoning came to an end in the 13th century because the religious zealots’ compilation of the ahadis and the rise of scholars like Al-Ghazali. As a consequence, Muslims contributed almost nothing to scientific progress and human civilization since the dawn of the 13th century.
    Almost all of the so-called “science” in the so-called “Golden Age” which muzzies love to brag about were influenced by Greek, Babylonian or Indian contributions to philosophy and science. For example, the muzzies love boasting about their Arabic numerals – which were in fact Hindu numerals from India icluding the all-important concept of zero (=0).
    As a confirmation of original thought and research in the muzzie world; as of 2015, only twelve Nobel Prize winners have been Muslims. More than half of the twelve Muslim Nobel laureates were awarded the prize in the 21st century. Seven of the twelve winners have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize which is basically a stupid political hot potato. Nobel Prizes have been awarded to over 850 individuals, of whom at least 22% (without peace prize over 24%) were Jews from around the world.
    And now they want to ban music, geography, math, history and French? Just shows how backwardness and ignorance has not died down among muzzies since that weird paedophile roamed this beautiful planet 1400 years ago.
    Let them try to ban this – I will defend it with my life.

I can state that I tried to get my nice Muslim neighbor originally from Uzbekistan (but here in the US for 15 years) to listen to 1 song (“Tonight, Tonight”) from the Broadway show, later movie “West Side Story but she declined and said “No music”.And a Muslim friend of my Muslim neighbor told me she used to listen to Beethoven, but has something better now. I asked her what was better than Beethoven’s music, and she said: “The Quran”. ?

        It is referred to as the “Symphony of a Thousand” because that is the number of performers that Mahler envisioned, although I have heard it live only four times and the greatest number has been 789 in a performance in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

        This is a recording of the Proms in 2002, by the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. All between the ages of 14 and 18! Including a children’s double choir. Such a performance by young people, it is superb. Probably better by far that any of the other performances I have heard.

        Alles Vergängliche (the finale of the Symphony)
        Chorus mysticus

        All that passes away
        Is only a likeness;
        The inadequacy of earth
        Here finds fulfilment;
        The ineffable
        Here is accomplished;
        The eternal feminine
        leads us up.

        And Muzzies want to ban music? They don’t know what they are missing.

    How did they invent algebra if math is not allowed?
    And how can they decide what lands are yet to be overtaken for their false religion if they don’t use geography?

    It’s all just a bunch of barbarism and nonsense to further the lies of satan the devil.

    • George S. says

      Oct 29, 2015 at 5:25 pm

      Yes. And how do they figure out how to build mozques so that they will point towards Mecca when praying? That needs Geography and Math!

    • George S. says

      Oct 29, 2015 at 5:50 pm

      They didn’t invent algebra. Algebra was originally a Greek discipline and ‘Arabic’ numbers were actually Indian. Indians invented algebra, calling it bija-ganita.
      Like all those so-called inventions of the so-called Golden Age, they were all borrowed from existing or pre-existing civilisations. Islam has contributed NOTHING to this world from the 13th century to the present – nothing.

        Oct 29, 2015 at 6:35 pm

        I know they didn’t invent algebra….just that they claimed to have invented it. But if they are not allowed to do math, they could not have invented it, wouldn’t have been able to figure out there was a zero…or one and one equals two…or to count.
        They like to say how many moslims there are in the world…bragging on it…but how do they tell how many since it involves math?
        And money…how much to extort from their victims…all without math? And how does the moslim male know when he has the number of wives he is allowed by islam if he can’t use math?

        And calendars involve math….dates and times…how does a moslim know when it’s time to *prey* at his barracks, how does he know when it’s time to celebrate with the slaughtering of so many animals for their unholy days?

        There are a few things in which moslims are experts….rape, murder, lying and theft.

    No *history* is why the fool said to the Israel channel 2 that, *3,000 years ago or 30,000 years ago, Adam built” the barracks and *no Temple ever stood on the Temple Mount.*

    In islam, there is no history…so no historical accuracy is possible. With no history, one must live only in the present and have no past, can never learn anything from history and no historical person or place ever existed.
    You can’t make this stuff up….but moslims do it daily.

    And the numbers disagree as well, because they leave out math.

    As the Barenaked Ladies would put it:

    Our whole universe was in a hot dense state,
    Then nearly fourteen billion years ago expansion started. Wait…
    The Earth began to cool,
    The autotrophs began to drool,
    Neanderthals developed tools,
    We built a wall (we built the pyramids),
    Math, science, history, unraveling the mystery,
    That all ended with islam!

    So, basically it means that you’re not supposed to use any of your intellectual or creative faculties, but just brainwash yourself with a load of irrational, second-rate, cobbled-together, antediluvian, pseudo-spiritual, pseudo political, clapped-out ignorant drivel, and that’s supposed to make you into the ultimate, super- human master race that is heaven-sent to conquer all. Like, travel the universe with the plans from someone’s dad to make a soap-box cart, and throw away all the encyclopaedias. Well, I think we should send them all back to some appropriate little enclave in the Middle East, put a 20-foot high concrete wall plus barbed wire, trip wires and ditches round it, take away all the Western goodies that would have been invented with all this evil education, and then sit back and watch as they all degenerate together or/and decapitate/maim each other. So we’ll all be shot of them, and we wouldn’t have had to lift a finger, let alone fire a shot. By the way, why haven’t they banned art, unless that would mean they’d lose all their graphic porn? Why have they banned French, but not – say – English and Hebrew? I can understand keeping German, because then they could all read ‘Mein Kampf’ when they get fed up with the Qu’ran.

    Girls obviously do not need more than a 4th grade education if they are just going to be enslaved, wrapped in a tent and married off to grizzly old perverts to be raped and then divorced just by their say so.

    If Islam did not exist but then came as aliens from outer space the whole world would rise up to defeat them. What is our excuse?

    No music, no math, no philosophy – Allah don’t like any competition with his message of murder and hate.

    So the ruling elite will send their kids to western lands to get educated while they keep the uneducated masses in bondage.
    What a lovely idea and these idots are going along with it.
    So when do they throw their computers out and bad social media? Isn’t this how they organised in the first place?

    I feel badly for these kids who are being indoctrinated in a way as to make North Korea look like a place that you’d want to flee TO.

    Eventually, these winners would stop being able to be able to produce their own food absent external knowledge. It could make their barbaric civilisation self-limiting.

    Suggestion: bomb schools at 3 AM (i.e., when kids aren’t there). it’s better that they not go to school at all then have their heads filled with this filth.

    The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise by Dario Fernandez-Morera

    The Myth of Muslim Spain as a Model of Coexistence for Today by “esperanto”? Anyway, go to Antisharia.com.

    Why Does the Muslim World lag in Science? By Aaron Segal

    The Myth of Islamic Science by Dr. N.S. Rajaram

    Muslims like to bring up Maimonides as the example of Interfaith harmony and Spain’s “Golden Age”; both total fabrications. They also like to compare The Koran with the Bible either citing similarities or differences depending on what story they’re telling. Maimonides hated Christ, “may his bones be ground to dust”, and Christianity; The difference between the three religions, other than the outright plagurism and fraud in the Koran, is that Christianity and Judaism don’t act on the so-called “violent verses”.

    The nation of Ishmael…persecute us severely and devise ways to harm us and to debase us…None has matched it in debasing and humiliating us. None has been able to reduce us as they have. We have done as our sages of blessed memory instructed us, bearing the lies and absurdities of Ishmael. We listen, but remain silent…In spite of all this, we are not spared from the ferocity of their wickedness and their outbursts at any time. On the contrary, the more we suffer and choose to conciliate them, the more they choose to act belligerently toward us. Maimonides, Epistle to the Jews of Yemen (1172)

    “While Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsees and Jews, along with several million adherents of an animistic religion, all coexisted in relative harmony, one religion that would not accept compromise stood out from the rest: Islam.” Mahatma Gandhi.

    Always “compare”. Compare Muhammad to Jesus, compare Sheikh Abdullah bin Humaid’s article on Jihad to Emmet Fox’s book Sermon on the Mount and compare the Koran to the Bible. And compare the religion that promotes itself as “the religion of peace” with the religion that doesn’t have to.

    And your education is sorely lacking if your haven’t read: The 4th Conference of the Academy of Islamic Research: Arab Theologians on Jews and Israel. Sept. 1968. Translated by D.F. Green/David G. Littman. I use Sheikh Humaid’s article on jihad, and it’s place as an “Introduction” in my Summarized Sahih Al Bukhari as “Exhibit A” when it comes to refuting the “religion of peace” claim. “The 4th Conference…” could easily be Exhibit B.

    The obscenity here is that they’re operating like they haven’t got a care in the world. Pretty soon we’ll totally capitulate by setting up embassies in Syria and sending ambassadors.

    Growing up surrounded by the Greatest Generation there is no way to describe how sick to my stomach I get thinking about our total abject failure in dealing with and exterminating this evil. It seems like every generation is afflicted with this “Aw, it ain’t so bad” when it comes to this progressive type of moral degeneracy and the symptoms of this society’s decline.

    Even those who religiously subscribe to Jihad Watch have no clue if they didn’t grow up in the fifties and early sixties. “Those things you just don’t do” and ideas of common decency are like a different universe comparing that time to this.

    Isn’t it lovely that John Kerry is putting his “faith” in the Middle East. Too bad that those who protect him do not understand what he means by that and that his “faith” will not be good for little boys or little girls, or women, or Christians, or Jews, or for him and his wealthy cronies.

    Well! All this renews my puzzlement about when Islam taiks over the West, who will repare the civilian aircraft (tho maybe few will fly)? And this also maiks an Austrailen prediction about Stages of Conquest that by the time of 70% of Muslim population, the main “infrastructures” like rodes & brides etc. will be khrumbelling…

    Seriously, we here probably all know the hideous non-productivity of the Muslim world–except for oil exports, less exports than Finland. Fewer books translated ever, vs. Spain’s in one year. Etc. I would VERY much like to explane this paralysis, almost 100% to the fine intellectual lack which seems to be Koranic Islam.

    …in fact, might Muslim minds be stunted by this reality-censorship even as American Blacks imported as work-animals, given inferior schools, might be similarly-stunted?

    And so, tuf questions for me to ponder BUT this article and comments help a lot….. TTFN

    [[ BTW my odd speling may be a firewall to allow only the ceptive to keap on reeding. Probably unwise, but “That’s the way the cookie bounces.” Well, as Pat Condell always ends with, Cheers!
