This is a wise move, but is certain to be condemned as “Islamophobic.”
“Schools monitored for jihad recruitment,” ANSA, October 18, 2018:
(ANSA) – Rome, October 18 – Italian authorities said Thursday that they had started monitoring schools for the risk of jihadi recruitment.
According to anti-terror investigators, the young are among the “vulnerable individuals most exposed to the risks of radicalisation”….

Wise move. Very wise move. Better late than never. Almost every Muslim child in a secular school also goes to another school, a madrassa, in parallel. Yes, in the mainstream schools there is a “risk of radicalisation.” In the madrassas, on the other hand, they’ll find no “risk of radicalisation,” for the so-called radicalisation is nothing other than the inculcation of the Islamic doctrine in the very young, their hardwiring against all that is not Islam. That is the raison d’être of the madrassa. While these operate, the problem of jihad will never be solved.
Whether the madrassa children one day actually take up jihad or not, there are countless ways, through both acts and omissions, that jihad is furthered every single day in every city where Muslims live. For example, *everyone* who pays zakat finances jihad. While the various Islamic schools of jurisprudence might disagree over which things zakat may be spend on, they are unanimous that zakat must finance jihad. I think at least 25% of zakat donations (1 whole plus 2 partial to whole categories out of 8) goes to jihad. I don’t have time to check the proportions now. Feel free to correct me. Zakat is one of the obligatory “pillars” of Islam.
I was intrigued the other day to hear Imam Tawhidi, with whom I have strong disagreements, in answer to Tommy Robinson’s question, “Would you close down the madrassas?” reply without hesitation, “on Day One.” On that point, at least, we are in complete agreement.

Monitoring schools is fine but what about the mosques and all Islamic organizations like CAIR and all others associated with the Muslim Brotherhood as is CAIR?????

Intelligence services were siad to be in constant contact with various offices of security police DIGOS to receive information and complaints from school heads on possible “deviant” behaviour by students.
Within that short report:
1. “Jihad recruitment”. So far, so good. Honest, straight forward definition.
2. Anti-terror, radicalization. The accuracy and honesty end.

Italian authorities monitoring schools for jihad recruitment
…………….
Well, this is a good move.
J D S says
Yes it is, graven…but of course not enough…Every country should have a monitoring system for all school curriculum, books. and any literature that pushed Islam in any way and for nations basically founded on Christianity that should be allowed..but of course Muslims would raise such a stink if that was tried, that schools would have to be shut down…So Sad that WE have allowed Islamic ventures into what were once civilized societies.

You are right, J D S–this is not enough. That’s why I said it was a good move–not that it fixed this vast and ugly problem.

It is time to introduce materials from the REVISIONIST SCHOOL of Islamology which do not take for granted the ‘official story’ regarding the origins of Islam.
All schools should introduce young people to the Revisionist School and its luminary names: Wansborough, Patricia Crone, Ignaz Goldziher, Henri Lammens, Joseph Schacht, W. Montgomery Watt, Alfred Guillaume, Arthur Jeffery, Hans Jansen Andrew Rippin, Norman Calder, G. R. Hawting and Michael Cook, Ibn Warraq, and Fred Donner.
Last but not least, schools should mention Robert Spencer, who in his book “Did Muhammad Exist? An Inquiry Into Islam’s Obscure Origins”, advanced the thesis that Islam was a state-religion created by the Abbasids to justify the empire.
Children should be taught that the ‘official story’ of Islam is WITHOUT a provenance. This makes it impossible to define the source of Islam or of the Koran, thus making their validation impossible.
(Definition of PROVENANCE: The provenance of something is the verified place of origin or earliest known history of something; the history of ownership of a valued object or work of art or literature; provenance is the chronology of the ownership, custody or location of a historical object..)
Terry Gain says
How does the Muhammad did not exist theory explain the Meccan Koran?
gravenimage says
There is no independent historical proof outside the Islamic tests themselves that Muhammad existed, Terry. But–as you note–it certainly seems plausible that he–or some amalgamation–did.
Note that Robert Spencer’s book asks “Did Muhammad Exist?”–it does not state that he did not exist.

Radicalization is when someone decides to put into practice the dogmas and commands of this religion. “Moderation” is when someone is a member of the religion in name only, and doesn’t feel very deeply about his religion.

Italy knows the dangers of allowing barbarians to enter a Western country. The cult seeking world domination is spreading its deadly evil influence across the West and elsewhere. Beware.

I’d really like to see CCTV recordings monitoring ALL classrooms, and most especially at the colleges and universities. That footage should be made available using FOIA, for anyone who wants to check on what those “educators” are telling our children.
Along with that, “educators” need to be held accountable for their crimes against our children, our society and our Nation. They also need to be fired when they do something wrong, instead of “leave with pay” and other schemes they’ve got going.
These “educators” are THE reason our youth are so screwed up today. We can blame their parents, as well, for ALLOWING these “educators” to brainwash their children to embracing their own demise. Bring on the trials. I’d like to see them all punished together.
