16. HM’s Q: Do the textbooks endorse aspects of the Islamic faith as fact? HM’s A: No. When the textbooks discuss aspects of any religion or faith, the editors have qualified their statements by citing them as true only to followers of that particular faith: BC Comment: This is a flat out lie. Some statements do include, “Muslims believe” and are listed below, but many do not, as listed after HM’s quotes below. I actually counted how much text was dedicated to Jesus and Muhammad’s claims, along with words disclaimers: Jesus Christ as Lord: 116 words (10 disclaimers, i.e., Christians believe) Muhammad as Prophet: 998 words (9 disclaimers, i.e., Muslims believe) This is LESS disclaimers with almost 10 times the text! (Actually I had to count ANYTHING that hinted Jesus was anything more than a teacher, it never even states outright that “Christians believe Jesus is Lord.” (from 6th Grade Text Review) HM’s A: “The first verses of the Qur’an, believed by Muslims to be the written record of God’s words…” (“Across the Centuries,” Chapter 3, page 58) BC Comment: FINISH the sentence, “were revealed to him at that time.” LOOK at that sentence! What is it actually stating the Muslims believe and what is it stating as fact? It is stating that the Quran is believed to be the written record of God’s words, true, but it states AS FACT that they were revealed to him at that time. “The first verses of the Quran, believed by Muslims to be the written record of God’s words, were revealed to him at that time.” This is CLEVERLY written but really LOOK at what is being said. The few times HM does throw in a “Muslims believe” is often done like this in duplistic ways. HM’s A: “Muhammad is believed by his followers to have had a vision of Gabriel…. BC Comment: HM omitted “The angel told him to recite in the name of God.” HM’s A: Followers of Muhammad believe the angel then told Muhammad the first of many messages from God… Muhammad’s followers believe that in another vision….” (“Across the Centuries,” Chapter 3, page 58). BC Comment: As you can see, much is written about the beliefs. Then the closing paragraph states, “These revelations confirmed both Muhammad’s belief in monotheism, and his role as the last messenger in a long line of prophets sent by God.” Sheesh! All wrapped up with validation? In addition, the section is listed under the heading, “The Life of the Prophet.” Interesting that Jesus never receives that kind of acclaim or validation. Jesus, the “popular teacher with ideas” while Muhammad is heralded as a prophet again and again. This is unbelievable. HM’s A: “Muslims believe that the founding and settling of Mecca is related to the story of Abraham… According to Islamic teachings, Abraham and Ishmael built a cube-shaped shine called a Ka’bah… Islam teaches that Abraham was commanded to build the Ka’bah as a house of worship…” (“Across the Centuries,” Chapter 3, page 57). BC Comment: That’s nice. HM has no problems noting that Muslims believe a building was built and that Mecca is related to the story of Abraham. I wish they were that cautious about Islamic beliefs regarding Muhammad’s supposed visions. Following are statements without disclaimers anywhere near them, and I challenge HM to show me where if they deny it:
