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

Federal judge sides with CAIR against parents, students, in favor of “Islamophobia” initiative in San Diego schools

Sep 28, 2018 11:19 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Once again, the “Islamophobia” canard is being wielded by CAIR as a means to attain special status to Muslims. This is being done in public school systems, but is as yet unrecognized by authorities for what it is.

A federal judge has sided with the Council on American-Islamic Relations and against students and parents in the San Diego school district in their fight against a program that provides special protections and considerations to Islam that are not provided to other religions….School officials voted in April 2017 to enter into a formal partnership with CAIR.

Over in Canada, CAIR’s sister organization, the National Council of Canadian Muslims (formerly CAIR-CAN), was doing the same thing. The Toronto District School Board created an Islamic Heritage Month guidebook with the help of the NCCM, to be used in its public schools. The Jewish organization B’nai Brith noted that the book promoted the “Islamophobia” narrative and defined “Islamophobia,” in part, as “fear, prejudice, hatred or dislike directed against Islam or Muslims, or towards Islamic politics or culture.” As B’nai Brith rightly said: “Fighting bigotry against Muslims can’t be pretext for tolerating human rights violations.” It is now common knowledge, or at least should be, that human rights violations (including FGM, honor killing, wife-beating, and the jihad murder of infidels) are religiously mandated and practiced in Sharia states, and are increasingly being imported into Western nations.

Even the judge admitted the school district’s plan was to “develop an anti-Islamophobia Initiative … to address Islamophobia and anti-Muslim bullying and the district’s decision in April 2017 to adopt implementing ‘action steps.’” The parents complained that the district was entangling itself with a religious organization to fight a “Muslim bullying crisis” that didn’t exist…

“Judge sides with CAIR against students, parents,” by Bob Unruh, World Net Daily, September 28, 2018:

A federal judge has sided with the Council on American-Islamic Relations and against students and parents in the San Diego school district in their fight against a program that provides special protections and considerations to Islam that are not provided to other religions.

Judge Cynthia Bashant this week refused to grant a preliminary injunction against the district’s pro-Islam activities, citing a wide range of factors. She concluded such issues are “matters which the courts ought to entrust very largely to the experienced officials who superintend our nation’s public schools.”

At issue is an agreement between the district and CAIR purportedly to combat bullying.

The school district has modified its deal with CAIR, which has been designated by the United Arab Emirates as a terror organization. The U.S. government has confirmed that CAIR is a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood, which advocates a worldwide Islamic caliphate with zero tolerance for other religions.

The Anti-Defamation League has condemned CAIR as a Muslim Brotherhood front group that continues “to partner with various anti-Israel groups that seek to isolate and demonize the Jewish state.”

Bashant earlier forbade references to those subjects in her courtroom as irrelevant.

School officials voted in April 2017 to enter into a formal partnership with CAIR. Books were purchased and distributed.

Then in the face of resistance from parents, the board modified its plan and established an “intercultural” committee, telling CAIR it still was a major partner in the work.

The parents raised questions about the district’s violations, through its anti-bullying, anti-Islamophobia effort, of the Establishment Clause of the Constitution and California state law. The plaintiffs pointed out there were almost no complaints of bullying of Muslim students. And there were many more complaints of bullying against other students, including Jewish students.

The case still will go to trial on the issues, but the decision this week means there are not the restrictions on school advocacy that the parents had requested pending the trial.

The judge claimed there was no evidence to support the parents’ contention the district gave Muslim students benefits not given to other students, despite the fact that the district doesn’t not have any “Christianophobia” or other outreach efforts.

“The judge was going to rule against us no matter what,” said Dan Piedra, chief of the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund, in an interview with the Investigative Project on Terrorism. “We are most likely going to appeal the decision to the ninth Circuit, and if we get a favorable panel, then we can get an injunction pending appeal. Her analysis about the Establishment Clause is clearly wrong.”

Even the judge admitted the school district’s plan was to “develop an anti-Islamophobia Initiative … to address Islamophobia and anti-Muslim bullying and the district’s decision in April 2017 to adopt implementing ‘action steps.’”

The parents complained that the district was entangling itself with a religious organization to fight a “Muslim bullying crisis” that didn’t exist…

    Once you create a new term like “islamophobia” for a certain demographic and declare them in need of special protection I guarantee you they will be the victims you say they are. Don’t you dare have a grumpy day with a muslim or honk your horn in anger, you’ll be one step away from becoming a greasy bigoted islamophobe. I know if I was part of a certain group “x” that was deemed to be victims of discrimination and bias I’m pretty sure I too would begin to feel like a victim: Gosh, that cashier sure was short with me, and that old lady sure did look at me funny, I so wish they weren’t so bigoted and hateful toward group “x.” We color our perceptions with our own expectations. A young boy might pull a head scarf on a little muslim girl cuz he thinks she’s cute, now he’s a muslim hater who probably has islamophobic parents; a high school footballer might get into an adolescent scuffle with a known muslim and now he’s a bigot that hates islam. And therein lay the problem in my opinion, it’s a matter of misperception due to hypersensitivity over things that are a normal part of growing up and attending school. But thanks to subversive groups like CAIR who only want to stir up trouble, they have successfully created a phantom injustice in every bad day muslims have. We don’t need any special f*cking rules and regulations on how to treat muslims, they need schooling on how to treat us. We are the ones losing our freedoms and security to muslim terror. Allah has pooped all over our peace and freedoms and our feckless leaders find it prudent to rub our noses in it. I find that despicable and worthy of our most steadfast determination to put it to an end.

      Many good points Japetto about their life expectations that lead to supremacy when they can be, and victims if they do not get their way.

      This reaffirmed the imam in the mosque at Friday prayers when koran Verse (3:110) is read and studied

      [Mohsin Khan translation]: You [true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad SAW and his Sunnah (legal ways, etc.)] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma’ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden), and you believe in Allah. And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them; among them are some who have faith, but most of them are Al-Fasiqun (disobedient to Allah – and rebellious against Allah’s Command).

      A complete system, enshrining and ensuring that muslims are supremacists .

      In another system Arayan blood was seen as supreme, and others were put down if they were considered in another category.

    I am guessing this is the 9th District?
    San Diego.
    Not surprised.
    Needs to be appealed.
    Just hope Kavanaugh gets confirmed.

      Indiana, agree.

      The long-term future of the United States depends upon the confirmation of a conservative judge to the US Supreme Court.

      The stakes could not be higher.

      • Terry Gain says

        Yes, which is why the Left will resort to any means to destroy Kavanaugh.

          Exactly. There never was a more obvious set-up. The Democrats have no conscience.

    • Carolyne says

      Sep 29, 2018 at 12:00 pm

      Yes, Kavanaugh is our last hope to retain the Constitution as the Founding Fathers intended. It is not a “Living document” which can change from time to time at the whim of the Courts, but there are specific ways in which it can be changed by the will of the people and not by left-wing judges The Democrats, for reasons of their own which include power and money and One World philosophy, have behaved as I never though a Senator of the United States would. Pure trash. An 85 year old woman who was elected by fruits and nuts in California, should not be allowed to stop the government from functioning for all of us. I think Schumer, another left wing nut elected by left wing nuts, is a disgrace to the title, “Senator.”

    School authorities teaching the glories of Islam…The only effective way to fight against this is private school or home school…Public school gets Federal funding based on student attendance…Home schooling hits them in the pocket book…Public schools are practice for prison life…Break their backs and home school…

    • Carolyne says

      Sep 29, 2018 at 3:48 pm

      Duh Swami , I agree that public schools are not as they should be and I believe the above ruling to be unconstitional. However, in my experience those who are home schooled are a little bit odd in their behavior and beliefs and can’t fit in to society successfully as they have been denied the camaradity and association of their peers. As for practice for prison life, that’s just silly.

        I take it that your “experience” is very minimal, and Im guessing that your a loyal union gubment school teacher. Lets take a trip over to the local high school and you can show me which students the homeschoolers should emulate. Please keep your lies in the echo chamber called the faculty lounge since you dont know what your stereotyping about.

    It the school district show that the bulling of muslim student took place that mean the school district is free to take action to end it by the treaching of islam and it society values. The rest of your raceist argument mean nothing.

    • Lydia Church says

      Sep 28, 2018 at 7:12 pm

      Uh, noooo….. all they need to do if this did happen is expel the students who did it.
      And then… teach Christianity and have a Christianophobia diversity training for the whole district.
      If people lived by those values, then nothing like bullying would happen. There is plenty of bullying against Christians that takes place when you are a true Christian. Sadly that is hard to find in today’s high schools, at least public ones. islam should never be taught, especially not here, and its lack of values. The rest of your racist and islamic arguments mean nothing.

    • Carolyne says

      “Islam” and “Values” are two words which should never be used in the same sentence.

  6. Lydia Church says

    Sep 28, 2018 at 7:31 pm

    This is what I’m talking about.
    People win temporary victories… but eventually… the globalists do what they want under the guise of ‘democracy.’ Until it becomes tyranny. Then it’s over. That is why I keep saying it’s going to come down to each individual facing that fork in the road, to cave… or not to cave. Hopefully you stand strong in the moments of weakness, when faced with weighing your whole livelihood against your values. Like I said, I REFUSE to go along with this. If it ever comes to me, I will teach Christianity instead. I will never go to any meetings of ‘diversity,’ or any other concessions like that. Nothing. That is all they will ever get from me. Nothing. Just like Leah Sharibu in Nigeria. They get nothing from me. I don’t care if I lose my job or anything else over it, my life, whatever. I will NEVER be an accomplice with the evil religion of islam, or anything else like that which goes against my Christian values. Nothing.

    Which leads me to the point I wanted to make about the slow dismantling of our democracy. The same thing is happening with freedom of speech. Talk… talk… talk. But in the end, the walls are still closing in on freedom of speech, no matter how much talking is done about how that is wrong… but of course all their hands are tied because it’s a “private industry”. Sure. I don’t believe they are not in bed together, but that’s another scandal for another day under the file name ‘surveillance.’

    Then you have the recent Kavanaugh hearing. Where another important democratic process is on the chopping block, and it’s not Brett’s candidacy. It’s the whole process itself. Democratic values that folks have taken for granted for centuries, like due process in trials, innocent until PROVEN guilty, etc. are all axed in one fell swoop due to 3 crying women pointing a finger. It has turned into guilty until proven innocent. I know those things do happen but this has the word ‘scheme’ written all over it because they don’t want a conservative to tip the scales in that direction so they fight it fang and claw. So in the end, not only a good candidate, but also the whole process under democracy is thrown under the bus.

    One by one, they are all going ‘bye-bye’: freedom of speech, the press, assembly, religion, the right to bear arms (1st & 2nd amendments, bill of rights, etc.), now it’s due process and innocent until proven guilty, a fair trial.

    And thus, another mechanism of the democratic machine bites the dust…
    one part at a time. The days are numbered.

    Sharia law instead of constitutional law being used in yet another American courtroom. Used to satisfy the whims of the terrorist organization, CAIR. The number of these seditious cases are growing exponentially. We are becoming a muslim nation, just as Obama promised, little by little.

    If CAIR defines “Islamophobia,” in part, as “fear, prejudice, hatred or dislike directed against Islam or Muslims, or towards Islamic politics or culture.” Then why don’t we consistently make this clear in regular news reports? Why don’t we just substitute, “dislike of Islam” for “islamophobia”?

    Joe-Bob was accused of islamophobia. Islamophobia is defined by CAIR as any disliking of a Muslim, or of Islam or Islamic politics and culture, such as disliking sex with 9 year old girls, killing of homosexuals, and female genital mutilation. Authorities are looking for ways to punish Joe-Bob for his islamophobia using a taxpayer funded program dedicated to eliminating all dislike of Islam..

    What this school district is doing is instituting blasphemy laws which is against the 1st Amendment
    This dishonorable judge should put on a burque and move to the Middle East. Then she can kiss their axxxx every day and spread her legs so she can enjoy their attentions according to Islamic law.
