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

West Virginia middle school instructs children to write out their submission to Allah

May 18, 2018 10:29 am By Robert Spencer

We see this again and again: schoolchildren have to make the Islamic profession of faith, or affirm Islam as fact, in public schools. Then when administrators are confronted, they claim it was all just an educational exercise, not proselytizing. But we never, ever see Judaism or Christianity or Hinduism or Buddhism taught as fact in public schools, or schoolchildren being forced to make professions of faith in those religions. For some reason this form of educational exercise is only ever used regarding Islam. Now, why is that?

“Christian Parent Furious After School Instructs Children To Write Out Their Submission To Allah,” by Joshua Gill, Daily Caller News Foundation, May 17, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):

A West Virginia school has come under fire for instructing junior high students to write the Islamic profession of faith ostensibly to practice calligraphy.

Rich Penkoski, a Christian parent and founder of online ministry Warriors for Christ, raised alarms over a packet on Islam his daughter’s seventh grade social studies teacher issued to students, according to Christian Post. The packet, edited from the full version of a world religions workbook, instructed students to practice writing the Shahada, or Islamic profession of faith, in Arabic calligraphy — an assignment that, if left undone, would result in detention, according to Penkoski’s daughter.

The Shahada states: “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”

Penkoski called Mountain Ridge Middle School Principal Ron Branch and objected to the packet, saying it disturbed him and had misinformation about the history of calligraphy.

“I saw the assignment of writing the Shahada in Arabic. Their excuse was calligraphy,” Penkoski told The Christian Post. “I was like, ‘Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!’ First of all, calligraphy was invented in China 3,000 years prior to Muhammad. The fact that they were trying to get my daughter to write that disturbed me.”

“I said, ‘That is not happening. My daughter is not doing that.’ My daughter told me that if she didn’t do the assignment, then she was going to get a [detention] slip,” Penkoski added….

There were two different calligraphy assignments — one involving the Shahada and another instructing students to practice writing English letters in calligraphy, Branch told Christian Post. Hinson “told the students that they could do these activities if they wanted,” Branch claimed.

“The teacher has told her class several times that this is a study of world religions and that she is not trying to advocate for any religion over another. She has told her class that if they had questions about religious beliefs, that those conversations should take place with their parents,” Branch added.

Penkoski claimed the teacher sent students home with the same packet the day after he lodged a complaint — this time, with certain sections crossed out but still including the Shahada assignment. Penkoksi called the principal again and confronted Hinson over the phone.

“I said, ‘This is not OK in asking my kid to write down the Shahada.’ The teacher happened to walk-in and said she made it an option and that the kids didn’t have to do it. My daughter conflicted that story and said, ‘No, that is not what was said.’ What was said was, ‘Do the assignment; and if you want to learn more about the Quran, ask your parents,’” Penkoski told Christian Post.

Each religion studied in the class, including Christianity and Judaism, received “equitable treatment,” Branch also told Christian Post. He said the class spent a week and a half on Christianity and Judaism — other religions took one week — and discussed each religion’s beliefs, history and practices. During the section on Christianity, “Jesus was taught,” Branch claimed.

“The students read the chapter in our textbook that discusses Christianity’s belief that Jesus is the Son of God, and salvation. They also discussed the Sermon on the Mount, the Last Supper and Jesus’ Betrayal, the Trinity, and the Lord’s Prayer, among other topics,” Branch said.

Penkoski and his daughter, Brielle, contested Branch’s claims. The Lord’s Prayer was not taught, and very little time was spent teaching about Jesus, they told Christian Post. “We did [the unit on Christianity] over a week and two days. We watched two different videos. We didn’t finish them. They taught a little bit about Moses and the Ten Commandments, Peter and Paul,” Brielle explained. “We learned about the Israelites and how they are being persecuted by the Romans. We were told about the Jews and told a little bit about Jesus.”

Penkoski also shared with Christian Post the packets on Christianity and Judaism passed out in class and allegedly modified from the original full version. While the packet on Islam contained verses from the Koran, the packets for those religions did not contain scripture and did not encourage students to write prayers or faith statements, he said.

“Notice no Bible verses, no reciting the Ten Commandments or the Lord’s Prayer,” he said.

“[There’s] no practicing writing in Hebrew as compared to the Islamic packet,” he added….

    Where are these “religious studies packets” for social studies coming from? Did the school board authorize them? Are they from a textbook publisher? Is the teacher Muslim? A liberal? Why are public schools teaching religion? Where is the ACLU?

    • Evelyn Warren says

      May 18, 2018 at 2:15 pm

      Personally, I have never seen the ACLU come out to defend Christians. They worry about Atheists being offended by Christianity. They worry about Muslims being offended by Christianity. I am surprised that they don’t worry about Christians being offended by Christianity. Maybe they just haven’t considered that yet.

          I am an Atheist. Christianity does not offend me. What offends me is a religion which has at its core tenet wanting me dead. As far as I am aware there is only one religion which not only condones, but requires murder. Islam. It offends me greatly.

      GET INVOLVED EITH YOUR SCHOOLS…TALK TO AND QUESTION YOUR CHILDREN..FIND OUT IF THE SCHOOL IS PACKED WITH LIBERAL LEFTIST TEACHERS ….GET INFORMED…GET INVOLVED..
      QUESTION EVERYTHING….There are too many liberal leftard children from our local leftist schools that are already in our colleges today waiting to make an impact on society we don’t need more so… GET INVOLVED!

        There is a lot of leftist teacher out there. No matter what grade level. Some do show their bias side and if your child is a free thinker they are made to feel uncomfortable with their thoughts and view that are different than others. I know last year that happen with my kids. My elementary kids, my junior high kid, and even my high school kids. I’m very involve with my kids and when they came home and told me their story. I was not having it. I went to their schools and let them know where I stood in this matter. They nearly shit their pants because they didn’t expect any parents to make such a big stink about it. Politics should not be taught in school because it’s too bias. Either way you look at it. The Constitution should but I don’t see them making an important subject out of it. It’s sad. It’s really sad. If your kids goes to a public school. Parents really need to get involve. Get to know the teachers, staff, principals, and maintenance person even. That way you have a good idea what your kids will be surrounded with while they are at school.

      Islam is such a heinously false, deceitful, downright *evil* ideology, that it requires *careful* study to understand *how* and *why* it’s false ideology. Just calling it names proves nothing. Islam is SO FALSE that *everything* one says about it is false by association, including this comment.

      UNDERSTANDING is the KEY! Interestingly, it helped *focus* my Christian understanding, regarding principles of “turn the other cheek,” (along with) “resist not evil” and “love thine enemy.” But this post is about ISLAM, not so much Christianity, and the accompanying Sharia Creep that’s taking over schools. First, they kicked God OUT, so they could let Satan IN, and that’s appearing in the form of Islam.

    [1] The handout says, “Calligraphy — the art of writing — is sacred to Muslims.” Says who? Please quote the sura or hadith that says this. The claim that pretty-writing of Arabic or Chinese characters is “sacred” sounds like anti-Islamic idolatry.

    [2] The criticism that this calligraphy promotes Islam can be deflected by simply changing the calligraphy-practice slogan from the Shahada to something else, such as (written in Arabic): “Polytheism is superior to monotheism because Diversity Is Our Strength.”

    • revereridesagain says

      May 18, 2018 at 5:32 pm

      [1] “Sacred to Muslims”? So is halal slaughter. Ask the “calligraphy-is-sacred” fans if they want to start teaching the kids how to bleed un-stunned animals to death.

      [2] Great suggestions, Mark! And they can find hundreds more just as subversive to their dhimmi-leftist agenda.

    Parents send their kids off to school with instructions to do what the teacher tells them to do, listen to the principal, do their school work, etc.

    The kids are given the idea that the teachers and principal know more than the parents. Don’t disagree, don’t argue, just listen, learn, and do what they are told. Teachers and principals have a whole lot of power over the kids…and by extension, the parents.

    Now, the idea is to indoctrinate the kids…as early as possible…with the idea that islam is supreme, that it is better than other religions, esp Christianity and Judaism. And they aren’t just told this, they are made to write it. In writing it, or saying it, they become…in the eyes of moslims…moslims.

    The way someone becomes moslim is to recite the evil phrase about the disgusting raper of children, mass murderer and to proclaim that he was a prophet. This is the aim of having the kids do these exercises.
    And with that, comes the fact that the kids now believe that islam is a good thing…After all, didn’t the teacher tell them so? The teacher gave them the assignment, the paper stating such and ordered them to do the work or be punished.

    One parent…out of how many…objected and was lied to. How many other parents objected? How many even knew about the assignment? How many of the kids questioned the assignment?
    It’s the goal of moslims and their collaborators to get everyone to bow to their beast. If they get the kids to do so, the kids will bring pressure on the parents. But even if they do not, they may be enticed to go further than the school assignment.

    moslims are being allowed to take over…in schools, in government, in pd’s, hospitals,…universities, etc.

    And when someone objects, they are lied to and accused of “racism” and a “phobia.’
    It’s bad and getting worse. But it won’t last forever. There is an end to it all.

    I live in West Virginia. My children attended WV public schools. I never thought a school in West Virginia, a state that is truly the heart of the Bible Belt, would try to indoctrinate our children. I was wrong. We just has a primary election for our county school board members. Now I encourage our voters not to focus on school board members, but to focus on encouraging our parents to pull their children out of these schools and homeschool them. Most of our households are Christian homes. We send our children to school for an education, not to be indoctrinated into Islam. Another fact is that I did not get this information from a West Virginia news source. I got it from your Jihad Watch reporting. Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention.

  11. RC Silk says

    May 18, 2018 at 3:08 pm

    The Shahada, accurately translated for *meaning*, breaks down as follows:
    THERE IS // “There is” is the same as “1=”
    NO GOD // “no god” is “0” (as “god”=1) so we get: There is no god “1=0”, which is false.
    BUT // is the separation of a head from its body, linguistically as well as the crossed swords of Islam.
    ALLAH AND MUHAMMAD // This is known as “SHIRK,” *THE MOST HEINOUS* sin in all of Islam. Shirk is equivalent to: multiple personality disorder, also known as demonic possession.
    IS HIS PROPHET // the same as “spokesperson.”

    In the 2nd pass, we see that “there is no god” (1=0) is blasphemy, to speak falsely of God, so the entire resolution of the Shahada is: “A demon blasphemes.”

    What’s most important is that EVERY MUSLIM on EARTH professes this blasphemy *without* realizing what it is they’re actually saying. This is the GREAT cloud of deception (Islamic “taqiyya”) being perpetrated upon the people of the planet.

    ANY ideology that depends upon deception in order to spread is NOTHING more than the spreading of deception.

    There was a school district a few years ago, I believe it was in Boston, where they took all the kids by bus, at taxpayers expense, to a local mosque. They separated the boys from the girls, and the boys were allowed to “pray” with the men on the floor. All of the students were to pretend being muslims for a week, I believe, and gave themselves muslim names. And no, I did not make a mistake in capitalization; I do not capitalize any thing to do with islam.

    • Lydia Church says

      May 18, 2018 at 10:09 pm

      You are like me then, I do that in the same way. Certain things I don’t capitalize and others I do in order to honor or not honor those things.

      I saw a school poster too the other day, some girl in a hijab and it listed various items about her, but the word ‘muslim’ was put with a box around it.

      I did not see that with any Christian students, in fact, that was the only poster out there.

      And at that school district, I’ll be willing to bet they did not do the same thing with Christianity!

      That’s where I do the opposite (Christianity instead of islam) wherever I have a hand in it… which sometimes… I DO!
      Heee-heee-heeee!

        All those things he mentioned are things a Christian cannot do, it would be renouncing your faith! A Christian cannot ‘pretend’ to be ‘a muslim’ for any amount of time, any more than they could pretend to be a satanist or a witch.

Islam promotes rape and murder for satan, or allah as you mohammedans prefer to call it, and there is everything wrong with that. Your Nazi cult hates women and all who refuse to bow to satan therefore islam should be banned in all civilized countries. If not for apostasy, islam would disappear from this earth.

    This is what children have to learn in public schools to learn about so called religions? And parents agree with that. was the father who protested the only one?

    Little by little they are brainwashing your children. Within 20 years “THE MOSLEM WORLD MUST BE

    Praise to the father that protested, I wished all the parents united with him, that’s the only way, UNITE !
    Silently, sinister, and secretly your children will be brainwashed and don’t say you were not warned !!!

    Allah is hate spreader , and Islamic text is doctrine of hate and enmity
    THE ISLAMIC TEXTS THAT CLEARLY INCITE HATRED TOWARDS NON-MUSLIMS ???”

    Koran 40:35 “They [kafirs] who dispute the signs (verses) of Allah without authority having reached them are greatly hated by Allah and the believers (mohammden).” (Note: not just “hated”, but “greatly hated”.)
    If Allah hates, then a Muslim should hate, as well. This hate is not due to moral failings. No, a kafir is hated for the simple reason that the kafir does not think that Mohammed is a prophet. [If Mohammed is not a prophet, then the Koran is fiction, and Islam is meaningless.] In the Sira( Mohammed’slife/biography) we find that Islam destroys cultured, wise people of high moral standards because they do not believe Mohammed. It is not personal; it is simply Islam.
    Koran 60:4 “We have REJECTED you, and there has arisen between us and you ENMITY and HATRED, until you believe and worship Allaah alone.”
    Interpretation of K.60.4: “Indeed you have a good example in Ibraaheem and those with him, when they said to their people: We are free of you and all that you worship beside Allaah…” (free from the ‘disease’ of the dirty kafirs)
    Evidences:
    • Hate and persecution of Christians and other religious minorities in Islamic countries is unbearable.
    • muslims are racist to the bone,religious racism of the worst kind.
    • “Christian cannot eat in Muslim owned restaurant, schools, colleges, office buildings nor they can drink water in same glasses which is worst kind of hate on religion in Pakistan but this new trend of prohibition on use of toilets in schools is inexpressible in words.”
    whereever muslims appear in significant numbers everything turns bad.
    Majority muslim Indonesia is not easy for other beliefs.
    Indonesia: Remote Orang Rimba Tribe Forced to Convert to Islam
    The Islamic Defenders Front – a vigilante group whose leader is facing charges of inciting religious violence – helped facilitate the conversion.
    Ustad Reyhan, from the Islamic missionary group Hidayatullah, has stayed to make sure the new faith is practised.
    “For now we are focusing on the children. It’s easier to convert them – their mind isn’t filled with other things. With the older ones it’s harder,” he says….………..
    The surrounding majority Muslim population calls the Orang Rimba “Kubu”.
    “It means that they are very dirty, they are garbage, you can’t even look because it is so disgusting,” explains anthropologist Butet Manurung,
    https://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2017/11/19/tribe-forced-to-islam/
    Muslims believe that kafirs are the lowest of life forms, even lower than bugs. Muslims believe that kafirs are polluted and that touching them will force the Muslim to ritually bathe.
    The muslims came in with a supremist frame of mind and denigrated and “put downs” with power to the natives. That is in the koran that they practice.
    But village leader Muhammad Yusuf – Yuguk, to use his Orang Rimba name – was thinking about surviving in this life when he converted.
    “It was a very heavy and difficult decision, but we feel like we have no choice, if we want to move forward,” he says quietly.
    “So that our children can have the same opportunities as the outsiders, the people of the light, we had no other choice. We had to all convert to Islam.”
    Outsiders are the “people of the light”, because they live in open areas and are often in the sun, unlike the people of the jungle….……….
    “If you came before, you would have seen our forest. It was pristine, with huge trees,” says Yusuf.
    It sounds like that forest is being logged for the muslims profit.
    MFritz says Nov 20, 2017 at 8:55 pm
    Same thing they did in Algeria. Cash in the poor and unemployed of the young generations, indoctrinate and radicalise them and then incite “jihad” against the whole country

    It sure is. Just read the following:
    ISLAM HAS A DOCTRINE OF HATE: ‘AL BARAA’ = Islamic Apartheid, Shunning
    Al Bughoud = Hatred of Kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’ or Al Mu’adaat (hatred) is the opposite of Al Muwalaat (love of Muslims), it is:
    – To Hate
    – To keep distance from
    – To be enemy to
    – To desert
    – To decline to help
    – To disrespect
    – To put down
    – Not to ally with
    – Not to support

    Allah ordered Muslims to have Baraa (to be cleansed) from the kufaar and from kufr and shirk.
    -Imam Abdul-Latif ibn Abdur-Rahman Rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed and act upon it, and yet not be hostile against the mushrikeen. So anyone who isn’t hostile against the mushrikeen, then it cannot be said that he acts upon Tawheed nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]
    -“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca. – https://islamfuture.wordpress.com/2009/08/20/al-wala-wal-bara-according-to-the-aqeedah-of-the-salaf-parts-123/
    –from Sufi scholar Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624): “The honour of Islam lies in insulting kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to humiliate them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain terrified and trembling. It is intended to hold them under contempt and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”
    -from ibn Taymiyya, “Book of Emaan”: “… true believers show animosity and hatred towards disbelievers and never support them.”
    -from Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”: “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as enemies and hate them because of their kufr, just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.”
    -from [Chap.iv] “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’” by Khalid El-Gharib: “… to show enmity to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger”.
    (Note: Muslims are to visibly demonstrate their enmity or hatred towards the kufaar)
    -from a lecture given by Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal (H.A.): “The implication of al-Baraa is that one HATES for the sake of Allah (SWT)…Al-Baraa means to recognize who your enemies are and to HATE them and EXTERMINATE them in their Endeavour to get rid of your Deen, al-Islam…Al-Baraa is to HATE the people who propagate Baatil (falsehood)—the Muslim should HATE them and (at least desire to) KILL them when the time comes.” (Mortimer)
    HATING KAFIRS is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.
    Love and Hate, Islamic Style (by Bill Warner, PhD)
    There is a concept in Islam called al-Walaa wal-Baraa. Walaa is basically allegiance or love (for Muslims). Baraa is enmity or hate (of kafirs). So the concept is to love Muslims and Islam and to hate kafirs and their civilization. Walaa and baraa are love and hate, Islamic style.
    Since Islam is based upon submission and duality, walaa and baraa are the perfect illustration of duality. To love believers and hate kafirs is pure dualism. But how important is walaa/baraa? A study of the Koran shows that its priorities are:
    • Allah is the only god
    • Mohammed is Allah’s prophet
    • walaa/baraa
    It is a core principle of Islamic political doctrine. The Koran devotes over half of its words to how foul and evil the kafirs are. There is not one good or sympathetic word for the kafirs. If you don’t believe Mohammed, then Allah hates you:
    The greatest Islamic sin is not mass murder, rape, theft or child molestation. No, becoming an apostate (one who leaves Islam to become a kafir) is the greatest evil in the sight of Allah. So if Abdullah leaves Islam to become a Christian (or an atheist), he is worse than Hitler. The hatred of an apostate is another example of baraa.
    But Ahmed, the professional engineer, at your work does not say he hates kafirs. In fact, he says that he loves America. But, if Ahmed is a real Muslim, then he follows the Koran and its says (in 14 different verses):

    Given that the koran ..

    1.CURSES Jews AND Christians{ koran 9:30}

    2.CURSES ALL Jews(and therefore those JEWISH prophets..Moses and Jesus] {koran 2 :65}

    3 Preaches hatred of non-muslims

    ..and given that its self-appointed, mass-murdering “prophet” muhammed admitted..

    “I have fabricated things AGAINST GOD and have imputed to him words which he has not spoken”
    al tabari 6:111

    It should be obvious that the idea seems to be to replace the Judeo-Christian God of Love{Judaism AND Christianity are founded on the 2 chief Love Commandments} with the islamic koranic antichristian antiJewish,misogynistic, god of hate and violence ,allah{who does NOT subscribe to the 2 chief laws:they are not found anywhere in islam!!)

    islam:the religion of antichrist
    islam;a house of cards built on a foundation of sand

    compare..

    Judaism and Christianity;Built on a rock solid foundation of the 10+2 commandment system.
    there are NO 2 chief commandments in islam:that explains all the hate.

    Marxism, Leftism, and Islam share the ideology that the only way to change the future is to forget about the past. This is why they never apologize, atone or repent for the evil that they do.

    How is a “Profession of Faith” different from a “Prayer”?…The Shahada Prayer has been relabeled to get it into the same public schools where prayers are prohibited. Public school teachers may not teach or lead students in prayer, but our Dept of Education can mandate having “The Shahada” to be unconstitutionally forced upon students nationwide simply by implementing clever semantics. Would anyone have ever believed circumventing the Constitution could be so easy.

      Anyone who recites or writes the Shehada is considered to be Muslim–even if they were tricked or coerced into it.

    This is very disturbing. They’re preparing children to surrender to their new Islamic overlords.

    This is dumb. These kids don’t know what it is to pledge allegiance to anything. Please stop freaking out. It means nothing.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 18, 2018 at 10:37 pm

      It is not that the kids will consider themselves to be Muslims–but Muslims will. And this is being done formally through the schools. *That* is worth “freaking out” over.

    An article in Wash. Post said that U.S. intelligence thinks that the leader of isis, baghdadi, is still alive and this is his plan:

    :The operative said Baghdadi — a university professor before becoming a terrorist — and other top leaders decided early on to prioritize the indoctrination of children and recruits, both inside Iraq and Syria and also abroad, through the Internet. ”

    “New clues bolster belief that ISIS leader is still alive — and busy with a chilling new mission “

    Teachers are the new American Communist. They allow bulling , name calling and I personally see so much abuse by students to other students. They are afraid of the parents and the less that comes out of school the better. When abuse (bullying) happens it is ignored. They are never punished nor are the parents notified. This is why there will continue to be mass shootings. Bullying is never OK. Communist teachers brainwashing our children is NEVER OK

    West Virginia middle school instructs children to write out their submission to Allah
    …………………….

    More sickening dhimmitude. One can only hope that these idiots did not know what they were having the children write.

    Glad so many of the parents stood up, though.
