More on the Islamic Saudi Academy

Fairfax County has decided to take a look at the materials being used at the Islamic Saudi Academy, alma mater of aspiring Presidential assassin Ahmed Abu Ali. Essay by J. Grant Swank, Jr:

 

Per Washington Times’ Julia Duin, hate is taught at the 23-year-old Islamic Saudi Academy, Alexandria, VA.The school has been under investigation before. Presently citizens are asking the State Department to close the school because it threatens other religions and could undo our Republic.“The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), which advises Congress, the State Department and the president on religious-freedom issues, has issued a 30-page document saying the Saudi Embassy, which operates the 933-student academy, is violating U.S. law.”

This is not hysteria on the part of USCIRF. It is cold logic, as anyone who has been following the history of this school’s instruction is aware, not to mention verses in the Koran that advocate killing all non-Muslims.

Those who seek to bar the publishing of these verses are a party to the atrocities instigated by extremist Muslims. It is akin to Germans who shied away from exposing Hitler setting up camp to extinguish Jews and Jewish sympathizers.

In other words, bald fact, no matter how unpleasant, must be put “out there.” Those who hope it simply “will go away” are integral to the threat.

“At issue are textbooks the USCIRF says contain ‘highly intolerant and discriminatory language, particularly against Jews, Christians and Shi’a Muslims.’ Its findings are based on a three-year study of Arabic-language textbooks, some of them from the Saudi Academy, by the Center for Religious Freedom in the District.

“The textbooks instructed students to ‘hate’ Jews, Christians, ‘polytheists’ and other ‘unbelievers,’ praised violent jihad as a ‘religious duty’ and to believe as fact the anti-Semitic forgeries known as ‘The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.’”

Now would it surprise anyone that the academy heads inform media that no such hate literature exists?

What knowledgeable persons know about extremist Islamics is that they believe Allah permits them to lie, considering deceit a virtue when it furthers Islam World Rule. Therefore, for academicians at the school to boast that texts and instructors’ lectures are void of hate is exactly what Allah would decree.

“Saudi officials said in response that the textbooks were being revamped and an official at the academy, who asked not to be named, said school textbooks were revised in 2006.

“The USCIRF was rebuffed when it asked the embassy this summer to see copies of the new textbooks, spokeswoman Judith Ingram said.

“’We’ve simply gotten nowhere with our requests,’ she added.”

Nowhere? What does that honestly say about academy officialdom? This is not rocket science. This is in-your-fact warning.

If fundamentalist Bob Jones University was accused of teaching hate, it would welcome outsiders to read every text on campus as well as attend every lecture in every lecture hall.

If evangelical Wheaton College were accused of instructing Christians to kill non-Christians, campus officials would hold press conferences, invite any personages to investigate curricula and sit in on any teaching forums throughout an entire school year.

Why then is the Islamic Academy not opening up its classes and texts to anyone? This school is located in America. It is using our soil to destroy our nation.

If that is not the case, then the academy must come forth with the evidence.

“The Saudi Academy is one of 20 international Saudi schools around the world. The Virginia academy’s main campus is on Richmond Highway in Alexandria and a west campus for young children is on Popes Head Road in Fairfax. Twenty-eight percent of its students are Saudi citizens.

“The USCIRF has long been critical of Saudi Arabia, and in 2004 it named the kingdom a ‘country of particular concern’ in terms of religious-freedom violations. As a result, the Saudi government promised the State Department it would allow greater religious tolerance within its borders. During a visit there this spring, USCIRF officials said they were stonewalled by the Saudis on several issues, including the content of current school textbooks.”

There is reason for suspicion. Anyone who sidelines that suspicion is part of the problem, furthering the plot to undermine America.

Excerpt from the Associated Press, October 29, 2007 ( http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5igZiBbZdKa9Gvx8uwXlsIOxoBQ5wD8SJA1AG0 ):

Fairfax County officials are reviewing Arabic-language textbooks at a private Islamic school following a federal panel’s recommendation that the school be shut down.

The county does not expect to find any problems with the textbooks at the Islamic Saudi Academy, but wants to study the issue “to put the matter to rest,” Fairfax County spokeswoman Merni Fitzgerald said Monday.

[...]

Fitzgerald said the county is not concerned about the books’ contents, but because it is the academy’s landlord it wants to investigate in light of the commission’s report.

“In order to put the issue to rest, these actions are being taken,” Fitzgerald said. “I’m sure there won’t be anything in there that people would find objectionable.”

Sounds as if Ms. Fitzgerald is “investigating” with a certain mindset.  How objective will this investigation be?

Isn’t it interesting that our insanely deluded opponents on the Far Left attack us, claiming that we’re promoting bad ideas for opposing the sort of thing as is happening at the ISA and the violent activities that are sure to ensue from such teaching, while, at the same time, they pretend to not have heard anything about it or have the nerve to say, “Well, who can blame them? See how we reacted after they killed thousands of innocents on 9/11? We should’ve just “Moved On” and left them alone…”?

The Far Left looks at the hatemongering and even atrocities coming from Islamists and excuses it all or weakly claims to “not support it”. But when we fiercely condemn such hatemongering, tortures and murders commited by Islamists against innocents whom they deliberately target (out of pure hatred, not out of “resistance” or “defence”, as is falsely claimed), the Far Left musters pure, unmitigated gall and calls US hatemongers?! Those brain-scrambled fools really annoy me, so I personally wouldn’t bother to give them an extra platform… they already have a platform in the MSM and their own blogs anyway. We don’t have to, nor should we ever, aid and abet those who aid and abet the enemy.

And Ms. Fitzgerald is prejudiced.

In favor of Islamists. Clearly, brainwashed by the PC indoctrination imposed upon her.
