Islamic takeover continues: Muslim Public School in NY

Slowly, but surly the Islamic take over continues. Arabic Public Schools are on their way to Brooklyn! The Khalil Gibran International Academy for Arabic and Islamic Culture is a leftwing, Arab/Islamic school, otherwise known as a madrassa, and it is being funded by your tax dollars.

Your taxpayer dollars are being used to create and fund a school specifically for students of one particular religion. I guess it's OK so long as that religion is Islam. Just try that with a Christian school and see how far you get…but I digress, for there are far bigger fish to fry with this one.

If you read this column by Daniel Pipes about this disguised "madrassa" you will find out the major principal of the school is Dhabah Almontaser. She calls herself a "multi-cultural educator." At a 2005 fundraiser for The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), Almontaser received an award with Ghazi Khankan. During a rally Khankan shouted to the crowd "I bring you salaams and greetings from the Mujahideen of CAIR!" Now if you are a frequent reader of this blog you should know CAIR is an organization founded and at least somewhat staffed by people who are very open about their desire to see the United States under Islamic Law. Let me give you a refresher. Hamas founded CAIR. Yeah, the Islamic Terrorist Hamas. Yeppers, seems pretty multi-cultural to me.

Now, In case you didn’t know it, and you probably didn’t Almonstaser was a public school teacher when the 9/11 Islamic Terrorist attacks happened. When her students asked why Muslims and Arabs were behind the attacks she said that it was not really Arabs and Muslims who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks.

"I don't recognize the people who committed the attacks as either Arabs or Muslims," ...Those people who did it have stolen my identity as an Arab and have stolen my religion."
Fair enough ... but it doesn’t seem like her actions are with her words to me.

The American Arab Family Support Center (AAFSC) is the main organizer of the school. Their website used to read that they are trying to encourage and aid Arabs to use all kinds of taxpayer funded facilities and services to help them "reap the benefits of the American dream." Of course there is no evidence of that now.

Anyways, back to the madrassa. How would you like to take a class called "Hirabah-Not Jihad"? Here's a brief glance at your syllabus.

"The purpose of this activity is to acquaint students with the concept of jihad. The lesson discusses the distinction between jihad as a principle of social justice, and as a military institution entrusted to authorities in society. Students learn about the categories of illegitimate violence in society, namely rebellion and terrorism, brigandage and other forms of mayhem against the public. Students should be able to:

define jihad in its literal and applied meanings, as a principle and as an institution
describe legitimate conduct of war according to Islamic law

differentiate between rebellion, (baghy), and terrorism, (hirabah), according to Muslim jurists
explain how Muslim jurists characterize hirabah, and describe the basis for their judgment that it is a serious, punishable criminal act."

How delighted Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda must be to see this happening. New York City, the site of the worst Islamic terrorist attacks in our history and perhaps the history of the world, is bowing down to accommodate and perhaps groom future radicals. I suggest that New Yorkers and all Americans research Ms. Almonstaser’s hostile speeches and then do everything possible to put an end to this ill-conceived school.

The opening of this public madrassa makes about as much sense as it would have to open a German public school to explain the Third Reich during WWII. The idea would have been considered preposterous, yet this insane idea seems to have sneaked past us without any diligent investigation. Well, it didn’t sneak past this country boy. No… I saw smoke and looked for the fire.
