My latest in PJ Media:
The Christian Science Monitor did its bit Friday for the left’s propaganda barrage, reminding us all that America is a benighted, sinister land full of racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia, such that only Old Joe and his henchmen can save us. The Monitor painted a picture of an innocent World Cultures and Geography class in a New Jersey public school teaching about Islam and getting accused by racist redneck yahoos of proselytizing for Islam. As far as the Monitor is concerned, it’s a story of evil Trump followers hating the sainted Other; in reality, however, it reveals how Islamic indoctrination is becoming increasingly common and accepted in public schools.
At Chatham Middle School in New Jersey, students were shown “a five-minute video introduction to Islam that included statements like ‘Allah is the one God,’ The Quran is a ‘Perfect guide for Humanity,’ and ‘May God help us all find the true faith, Islam.’” Now just imagine what would have happened if a public school had been found to be teaching that “Jesus is the Son of God,” “the Bible is a perfect guide for humanity,” and “May God help us all find the true faith, Christianity.” But when it comes to the left’s favored religion, it’s a different situation altogether.
In January 2017, the Monitor notes, a parent, Libby Hilsenrath, “was reviewing her son’s schoolwork when she learned about the Islam-related unit.” When she saw this flagrant proselytizing, she “complained to the school district and [by now you can be sure that the Christian Science Monitor writer was literally shaking] appeared on Fox News to discuss her concerns.”
The result? Death threats, of course, fitting nicely into the left’s propaganda narrative of violent right-wingers menacing doe-eyed, peaceful, daisy-picking leftists. According to another parent, Melissa Cavallo, “the threats were serious enough to have police at the middle school and the district administration building.”
True to form for a leftist propaganda organ, the Monitor doesn’t consider the question of whether the Chatham Middle School material did actually proselytize for Islam and thus had no business in a public school. Instead, its story is all about the hatred, racism, xenophobia and Islamophobia supposedly displayed by those who raised concerns, and how important it is for children to learn about diversity – especially “those living in homogenous areas.”…
There is more. Read the rest here.

The name is interesting. The Wikipedia entry did not indicate support for Christianity. Whatever may have been its original mission, it seems that it is now monitoring Christianity, scientifically (methodically).

CSM has become ‘wokist’ and cultural-Marxist. It used to be scrupulously balanced and neutral.

CSM appears to have little relationship to either Christianity or Science. Science requires logic to prevail over leftist emotion.

To Wm Carr: why do you ‘assume’, when you can easily do some research … ?
Note: https://www.allsides.com/news-source/christian-science-monitor
The Christian Science Monitor has maintained its reputation within the news industry as a well-run, high quality news organization with minimal bias. Rather than narrowing its focus like much of current mainstream media, its primary aim is to provide fair and in-depth analyses from multiple perspectives, seeking to provide meaningful instead of sensational news.
In December of 2013, the AllSides community overwhelmingly agreed that the Christian Science Monitor has a Center media bias rating by more than a 3 to 1 ratio.

Sabri S. says
So true. Our faith is not a race. It encompasses ALL of humanity and Islam is the one true religion for all mankind. Islam has earned a prominent place in public schools, prisons, hospitals, universities and all subsequent public forums because the world is finally waking up. There is only one God – ALLAH!, and he is GREAT always. God is all powerful and has no partners or family members, especially a son who is falsely portrayed by Westerners as a european roman soldier or borgias descendant – depending on which scholar or talmud you choose to read. All races are equal under Islam. And only Islam offers a political, economic and family solution to its adherents – the “best of peoples”. The sooner Islam takes hold in America, the better.
Paul says
So true….Allah is the true pagan god amongst 360 Meccan idols and

Raja says
Sabri,
Sure “best of peoples” for following a man Mohd. (probably a real figure) who was planted by Satan in Arabia because the devil knows from the holy scriptures that the Arabian tribe would be most compatible to Mohd’s violent and destructive plans. The donkey of a man and his descendants were prophesied in the bible in
Genesis 16:12
“He will be a wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone’s hand will be against him; And he will live to the east of all his brothers.”
Just because the foolish Western leaders are clueless about this does not mean that Koran followers are best of people. By the way your co-coreligionists can only follow Zakir Naik and similar crooks who have no brains except conning expertise.
notnolib says
Sabri – It’s a gutter cult. Its followers are gutter cultists. The WORST of poeple. Your terror guide (the koran) was shat into the arabian sands by momo the pig-faced dog following carnal relations, then later a meal of his favorite pig, or “dad” as he called it. In fact, momhammed’s hollowed out shell is being used as a condom by demons in hell. This momo is the inventor of islam and allah the moon-god.
allahu’s snackbar!! The place for pork.
L R says
Sabri S…You just proved why Muslims like you should never be allowed into our western cultures.

L.R., it’s the IDEOLOGY that leads to the arrogance. Muslims are humans who have the wrong information.

Mortimer, Sabri S. is a human with the wrong information who advocates beating women and murdering children.
mortimer says
Sabri, you need to learn about Islamic history and the brutal and sadistic history of jihad.
No, Sabri, Islam is not ‘universal’. Islam is a predatory, imperial IDEOLOGY of territorial conquest and a slave economy. Islam has not ‘earned’ anything … Islam usually STEALS what it wants, since it is based on military conquest (jihad) and enslavement of dirty kafirs.
The Christian Science system is a truly UNIVERSALIST FAITH and emphasizes love and healing for all. Islam is dualistic, rather than universal and condemns non-Muslims to servitude and deprivation.
Sabri, you do hate the KUFAAR ‘for the sake of Allah’ … do you not? and you are PROUD of hating them … are you not? Or have you left Islam?
gravenimage says
Mortimer, Sabri S. is fine with violence. The idea that he woudl think better of it if only he knew about the savagery of Islam is mistaken. He *lauds* this savagery.
And it is grimly obvious that Muslim surpremacist Sabri S. has not left Islam. He openly admits to hating Infidels. You cannot shame him.
john smith says
Sabri, there is no doubt in my mind that you are an exceptionally pious muslim. You have made no secret to the fact that you believe murder, such as in honour killings can be justified. This alone makes you a good muslim. In this post you deny that Jesus was the son of allah, which is true, because allah is really satan. Jesus is the son of the true God who’s name is Yahweh.
Our bible quite clearly tells us who the liar is and who the antichrist is in 1John2;22. There is only one religion that denies that Jesus is the son of God, and thats islam.
john smith says
P.S. Try telling the Jews, that all races are equal under islam.
Terry Gain says
Sabri S.
Thank you for this clear warning. Unfortunately too many people in power do not understand Islam as well as you do. And there is really no excuse for such ignorance. The doctrine and history of supremacism, conquest, backwardness, terrorism and irrationality is inarguable. Surah 4:34, by itself proves you are lying. If your Allah actually existed he would be not just capricious, but a misogynist. What an irrational conception of God. Especially for a female
But even though you are helping us defend against this vile conquest ideology you should stop lying. Lying is a sin. If you keep lying you could spend eternity in the same place as Muhammad.
Raja says
Terry, “if you keep lying you could spend eternity in the same place as Muhammad”
Is very true statement, because all liars will be cast out for eternity according to bible. Mohd being chief of liars will definitely be there. You can bet on that.
James Lincoln says
Sabri S.,
You neglected to mention – as a devout muslim – that you support honor killings…
gregbeetham says
Muslims worship Satan, you only have to take stock of the verses in the Koran to realize that and Muslims are the worst of creatures bar none.
Islam means stagnation; wherever it invaded there was no progress from that point forward.
Not only that Islam and Muhammad were a fabrication from the ground up, there is not one jot of divinity in it or the Prophet unless a working relationship with demons is divine.

What the the appalling Sabri S. means is that Muslims plan on violently imposing these vicious creed on us.
More:

…………………………
Islam is prominent in prisons because violent felons learn that Islam sacralizes what decent people consider crime–robbery, rape, and murder–so long as the victims are Infidels.
And the mess in schools is a combination of infiltrating Muslims and clueless leftist useful idiots.
And Sabri S. appears to believe that hospitals are in the business of inculcating creeds in patients, rather than treating them. I suppose this ignorance should not surprise. After all. Muslims regularly refuse to treat Infidels, and assault Infidel doctors and nurses. *Ugh*.

Sabri S. has made this luicrous claim before–that Jesus is actually Cesare Borgia. He appears to be ignorant of the fact that Jesus had been depicted for 1400 years before this.
Then, the Muslim claim that Christians consider Jesus to be the son of a Roman soldier is absurd. This is not a Christian belief at all.
Muslims are happy to murder Christians over these lies, though.

Well, except for that Arab surpremacy and calling Black Africans “raisin heads” and enslaving them–something that is going on to this day. And Sabri S. has never condemned this–but then, Why would he?
So this is what Muslims–the self-styled “best of peoples”–want for America–slavery and sex slavery, pedophilia, the abuse of women, persecution of Christians and other non-Muslims, mss murder, rape, assault, and “Honor Killing”.
Sabri S. has many times lauded Muslims for murdering their children, and for beating and raping Infidel women in the streets. *Ugh*.

nicholas – Till now I didn’t realize that the Christian Science Monitor had lost its mind. A pity they don’t remove the ‘Christian’ in their name. Just another crowd of complete fools.
The day the school the grandchildren in my custody attend starts teaching that: “The Quran is a ‘Perfect guide for Humanity,’ and ‘May God help us all find the true faith, Islam” is the day it gets a second rude awakening from me. When they tried their LGBTQ curriculum crap they got their first awakening, even in some cases terminated the curriculum.

mortimer says
Reply to Brenda: the *Christian Science* faith is, in fact, not Christian, but RADICAL-UNIVERSALIST. The founder of CS had a cherry-picking approach to religious texts.
*Christian Science*, in fact, denies all the essential tenets that make a church “Christian.”
*Christian Science* is, in fact, opposed to science and more attuned to mystical new-age spirituality.
Keith O says
The thought police are well and truly embedded in the school system and heaven help ANYONE who dares challenge the system.
An example of how the “system” works was when Jamie Oliver, the Pommy TV cook wanted to show schools in California how to provide good food for students.
He was arrested and threatened with imprisonment and deportation if he didn’t stop.
And these are the wonderful enlightened beings who are shaping the minds of your children.

SKA says
These same educators who claim to know enough about Mohammedanism to teach about it correctly are ignorant of the fact that according to Shari’ah the mere reciting of the Mohammedan confession of faith – the Shahadah – is sufficient to effect “conversion.” Therefore the school system is engaging in proselytization whether or not the instructors are aware of this. This is of course forbidden to the state school system under the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. If schools required students to learn and recite the Apostles Creed as part of a learning exercise no ACLU or CAIR lawyer would fail to denounce it as Christian proselytization.

Terry Gain says
When you can’t defend an ideology (because it truly is evil) then scream racism. If you don’t know, or pretend not to know, the difference between an ideology and a race then just go away, with a sexual connotation.
Walter Sieruk says
What an ignorant thing to say or put in print ., whoever that fool assertion doesn’t understand Islam at all .
This is because Islam is not a race, therefore to reiterated what was already declared before is that “Islam is a religious /political / Sharia law based system of total tyrannical mind control that has complete power and influence over the thoughts ,ideas , values and behavior over millions of people around the world,”
Therefore with this definition of Islam is fitting to make in clear that in the classical work of ancient Greek literature, by Plato, entitled THE APOLOGY OF SOCRATES it in written that Socrates had said that “An unexamined life is not worth living.” Likewise, in may also be said that “An unexamined religion is not worth believing in.” This is said about all religions. Yet to be specific, in this case, the topic is about the religion of Islam.
Furthermore, one man who was as a former a Muslim and had lived in one of the Islamic nations of the Middle East but now he is Christian and an American citizen had explained in a book he wrote that “Driving into depths of the word of reasoned thinking and research in Islamic societies has always been costly. Some Muslims who have done this have even been excluded from their social rights and even sentenced to death.” [1]

Here are some of their features on Islam–a lot of dhimmitude here:
https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Topics/Islam
mortimer says
ISLAM IS A POLITICAL IDEOLOGY
Many leading Muslims and also non-Muslim scholars agree that Islam is highly IDEOLOGICAL.
-“Pakistan not only means freedom and independence, but the Muslim IDEOLOGY which has to be preserved as a precious gift and treasure and which, we hope others will share with us.” – Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Father of Pakistan (a declaration of expansionism)
-“In establishing and equipping the defense forces of the country, the focus shall be on maintaining IDEOLOGY and faith as the foundation and the measure.” -From the preface to the Iranian constitution, heading: An IDEOLOGICAL Army.
-“Islam is POLITICS or it is nothing!” – Ayatollah Khomeini.
-“Islam is not a race. It is an IDEOLOGY”, explained IBRAHIM HOOPER of CAIR
-A “very large part” of SHARIA requires “the COERCIVE POWER and authority of the STATE” for its enforcement. Consequently, while a state based on Islam has a legislature which the ruler must consult, its function “is really that of law-finding, not of law-making.” – Maulana Maududi, Islamic political expert
-The Saudi Sheikh Saleh Al-Lehadan, head of the Supreme Judiciary Council, told Al Watan daily, (March 25, 2008) “After GETTING RID of the Jews in our Arab land, we must turn to the Christians. They have three options: either they convert to Islam, or leave, or pay Jizia (protection taxes). Further, there is not such a thing as Shiites, Sufis, etc. There are only Sunnis. All these sects must renounce their pagan beliefs and return to Sunna, the right path of Islam.”
-Islam is a political IDEOLOGY. Islam divides the world into Muslims and unbelievers, kafirs. – Bill Warner, PhD, analyst of political Islam
-“Islam is at once a religion, a STATE and a SOCIETY—din wa dawla. Political power is thus entirely devoted to a religious mission. Islam is the MERGER of politics and religion.” – Fr Henri Boulad SJ, Syrian analyst of political Islam
– “Islam is a TOTALITARIAN IDEOLOGY that aims to control the religious, social and political life of mankind in all its aspects — the life of its followers without qualification, and the life of those who follow the so-called tolerated religions to a degree that prevents their activities from getting in the way of Islam in any manner. – Ibn Warraq, ex-Muslim author on political Islam
-Islam is LAW-ORIENTED, not theology-oriented, and Muslim society is IDEOLOGICAL in nature. – Samuel P. Schlorff
– British philosopher Anthony Flew discussed how Islam is an ideology: “I would never regard Islam with anything but HORROR and FEAR, because it is fundamentally committed to CONQUERING the world for Islam… it is, I think, best described in a Marxian way as the uniting and justifying IDEOLOGY of Arab IMPERIALISM.” – Philosopher Anthony Flew renowned for his work on the philosophy of religion
puraposta says
Thank you for those quotes. The real problem with the 5 minute video Intro to Islam depends upon what the teacher does with it. Take the quote from the film that… ‘The Quran is a ‘Perfect guide for Humanity,’ I’m sure we all could put an interesting lesson together on that topic!
gregbeetham says
The insidious infiltration by the cult of Satan continues.
Aussie Infidel says
Christian Science? Now that’s an oxymoron. Science is about the real world, while religion is supposed to be about the supernatural – whatever that is?
Pardon my sarcasm, but this seems like one crazy cult supporting another more sinister one.
Fred van de Bunt says
The judge said: “True, Video 1 is from the perspective of a believer, but a reasonable observer would understand that the video is not presented as representing the views of the teacher or the school; nor is there any indication that it was presented in a manner to suggest that students should accept the video-creator’s views as revealed religious truth. Although the video-creator can be perceived as believing those tenets, neither the lesson, Ms. Jakowski, nor even the video-creator invites or encourages the students to adopt those views.”
https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/new-jersey/njdce/2:2018cv00966/365028/82/
Now, teaching about world ideologies and cultures a video about nation socialism: “Hello kids, I am Adolf Hitler. We Nazi’s believe in the volksgemeinschaft, the people’s community, and being democratically chosen, the guys and I started to built the great idea in practice, uniting all the people together in our slick Nazi community, first in neighbouring countries, then further away. After WWI we lost important lands and industries to the winners, had to pay crazy debts, and were poor and unemployed. When me and the guys started building on the great and perfect national socialist idea, all this disappeared, kids. Nazism is really great, and wherever we come, peace and perfectness of live among humanity is reached.”
I suppose the judge could draw the same conclusion: “It is the view of the believer, mister Adolf, and Ms Jakowski, the teacher did not invite the kids to adopt the views from mister Adolf….”
The question is, are the teachings balanced, or can they be seen as propaganda?
L R says
If my kid was going to that school I would want the same time for all major religions.
As noted in article above regarding the testament of Christians. You show that too.
Raja says
This is not even newsworthy as “Christian Science is neither Christian nor science. Any how it is shocking to know that the world has lost its mental balance in discerning the so called religion Islam. Lots of modern day problems can be linked to Islam and its fanatics called Jihadis and its enablers.
OLD GUY says
What is amazing about the current racism claims of the left is, do you think if 67% or higher of the American population were BLACK over the past 100 years that we would be tearing down statues and changing the names of schools and buildings across the country to make them more WHITE. I think NOT.
The question should be are the Blacks represented in an equal number to their share of the population? If you just take a look at sports, advertising, entertainment and music the BLACK population is way over represented in accordance with their percentage of the American population. If we are so WHITE and we hate BLACKS so much why are we supporting these people with our dollars and the enthusiasm we show them for their hard WORK and TALENT?
As an old WHITE guy I would like to wish Tiger Woods well and a quick recovery my prayers are with him and his family.
Terry Gain says
No. Your question adresses results rather than barriers. The fact that female Asians are the highest income earners in the United States proves that allegations of systemic racism are false. Those who allege racism can’t point to any policy which is preventing black people from excelling. In fact there are policies in place like affirmative action which are designed to help blacks excel. False allegations of systemic racism will discourage blacks form making the culutural changes necessary to excel.
