California School’s Blatant Recruitment to Islam
First there was the textbook, full of emotional descriptions of
Muhammad’s experience with Allah, presented as fact, along with
participation exercises.
Then there is Islam: A Simulation, and nobody believes
children are actually told to "become Muslim," take a Muslim name,
recite prayers of worship to Allah, fast for Ramadan, etc.
The courts have ruled that these practices are all acceptable, that
children don’t actually believe they are Muslim, even though they are
mandated to walk through it and voice the words by heart. They dismiss
the textbook because three pages back, someone somewhere referred to
"what Muslims believe," thus all the factual intent about Muhammad and
Allah is acceptable.
Enter the videotape, The Story of Islam, apparently adopted
by California’s Department of Education. Public schools claim it is
and the DOE will not respond to multiple inquiries about it, including
four news sites posting the question.
The Story of Islam not only presents Muhammad’s experiences
with angels and Allah as fact, often with prayers to Allah in the
background accompanied by compelling music, but it also claims the
successful conquests of Islam came from divine intervention. It states
Muhammad "proved the truth" of messages. It boasts that Muslims adhere
to their rituals "more faithfully" than Christians. Arabians are
"transformed" by the word of God. Our children are taught, point
blank, Islam is a "divine religion."
Listen to a sample of the video, end of
voice clip
The video repeatedly congratulates Muhammad and Islamists for their
"bold expeditions" while they "expand Islam" by conquest. Forcing
people to Islam is described as EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS, attributable to
Allah, "capturing and recapturing the provinces which Islam was about
to take FOR GOOD." (The narrator said this very decisively.) But what
is truly astounding and indicative of today is this:
"The violence of the conquest has been forgotten...For several
centuries, the different faiths have mingled, bringing about the
peaceful relationships which are the only ones that can insure the
peace of the world."
Don’t miss this. "The peaceful relationships (conquered nations
that have accepted Islam) which are the only ones that can insure the
peace of the world." We have been warned about this for years by those
who study Islam. The "peace" of Islam can only be attained when all
the world is Islam.
Videotapes such as these, slipped into our public schools, have
been telling our kids for years what they are going to do: "Today the
youth of Islam is going to tackle the world with the same enthusiasm
which once urged their fathers onwards to conquer. A double enthusiasm
for freedom and faith."
The video has spread the message of Islam to classrooms all over
the nation. The narrator very slowly and deliberately said, "I bear
witness that there is no God but Allah and I bear witness that
Muhammad is the servant and apostle of Allah." He also spread the
offer for suicide bombers in classrooms all over America, "We shall
grant a reward without limit to whoever fights along God’s road,
whether he be killed or victorious." The video ends with very final
words, said in all seriousness and authority, "There is no divinity
but God and Muhammad is the prophet of God." Credits are then seen
while listening to the call to prayer to Allah.
These statements are deeply surrounded by dry FACTS about Islam,
the nations it conquered, how they built the mosques, all the
ingredients it takes to make an educational video to be taken
seriously. It is an excellent example of what our society is accepting
today. We are told Islam is "peaceful" while Christians and Jews are
being slaughtered in genocide proportions, Muslims are congratulating
themselves for the favor of Allah while our children are being
recruited in public schools and it is said people are flocking to
mosques in record numbers. We have hundreds of years of history to
prove that Islam is FAR from peaceful, but as the videotape said, the
conquests are forgotten. Our politicians are desperately trying to
rewrite the Muslim religion, but is ANYONE going to fall for that?
Two years ago
Dr. Dobson urged parents to get their kids out of public schools.
So has
Dr. Laura,
Joseph Farah and now the Southern Baptists and other evangelical
Christians have introduced
resolutions to follow suit. Roger Moran said,
"As the educational philosophy of public schools increasingly
mirrors the anti-Christian philosophy of our activist judges, the
time has come to proclaim with absolute clarity that 'render unto
Caesar' was never intended to include the hearts and minds of our
children."
My youngest son is now past these inductive lessons and his most
impressionable years. I am hoping to return to sharing the Gospel and
local ministries. The BlessedCause part of my life is prayerfully over
for me. I’ve done what I can (unless they show my son this video and
then the gloves are off). Parents, stand up for your children. Get
pro-active in public schools. Satan is after your children.
