U.S. Students Learn Hatred Saudi Style [on the Islamic Saudi Academy]

No, this is not an accusation, it is a fact. Muslims schools Saudis help finance and which use their textbooks spreading their poison in America such as the one they run in Alexandria, Virginia. That is the conclusion reached by the congressionally-formed, bipartisan US Commission on International Religious Freedom, after reviewing that school's textbooks. By the way, Fairfax county renewed the school operating licence LAST MONTH! The commission has recommended closing the school a year ago.

By the way, apostate Barack Obama should worry about their views of the appropriate treatment of apostates who after all had a Muslim childhood. After all, one of it's graduates has already joined Al Qaeda! which would certainly consider Obama an apostate. His name is Ahmed Abu Omar Ali. He was a valedictorian had plotted to kill Bush.

The Commission reports:

The most problematic texts involve passages that are not directly from the Koran but rather contain the Saudi government's particular interpretation of Koranic and other Islamic texts. Some passages clearly exhort the readers to commit acts of violence, as can be seen in the following two examples:
In a twelfth-grade Tafsir (Koranic interpretation) textbook, the authors state that it is permissible for a Muslim to kill an apostate (a convert from Islam), an adulterer, or someone who has murdered a believer intentionally: "He (praised is He) prohibits killing the soul that God has forbidden (to kill) unless for just cause…" Just cause is then defined in the text as "unbelief after belief, adultery, and killing an inviolable believer intentionally." (Tafsir, Arabic/Sharia, 123)

A twelfth-grade Tawhid (monotheism) textbook states that "[m]ajor polytheism makes blood and wealth permissible," which in Islamic legal terms means that a Muslim can take the life and property of someone believed to be guilty of this alleged transgression with impunity. (Tawhid, Arabic/Sharia, 15) Under the Saudi interpretation of Islam, "major polytheists" include Shi'a and Sufi Muslims, who visit the shrines of their saints to ask for intercession with God on their behalf, as well as Christians, Jews, Hindus, and Buddhists.

The overt exhortations to violence found in these passages make other statements that promote intolerance troubling even though they do not explicitly call for violent action. These other statements vilify adherents of the Ahmadi, Baha'i, and Jewish religions, as well as of Shi'a Islam. This is despite the fact that the Saudi government is obligated as a member of the United Nations and a state party to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and other relevant treaties to guarantee the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion.

Jews, of course, are singled out for special treatment. Believe it or not, they are blamed for the Sunni Shia schism.

A textbook on social science that the commission reviewed reads, "The cause of the discord: The Jews conspired against Islam and its people. A sly, wicked person who sinfully and deceitfully professed Islam infiltrated" the Muslim faith.
Dr. Andrew Bostom, an associate professor and researcher of medicine and author of The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism explained to WND this teaching.

According Bostom, one of Islam's oldest and most respected Sunni historians, al-Tabari (d. 923), taught that a renegade Yemenite Jew, Abdallah b. Saba, infiltrated the Muslim faith, propagated false teachings (Shia Islam) and launched the split between Sunnis and Shiites.

"That's (al-Tabari's) basic story line," said Bostom, "it's a Jew who is in fact responsible for adopting a heretical version of Islam, which became Shiism, and eventually the whole Shiite sect. It's all considered the invention of a renegade Jew."

So, what else is new?!

Not a thing. Not even our politically correct failure to do anything to combat this clear and present danger and close the school.

UPDATES:

Obama's brother believed him to be Muslim.

Nancy brings to my attention additional troublesome schools:

Here are some sites explaining an event by CAIR at Friendswood Jr. High in Friendswood, Texas. This is the area where I grew up. My Mom, who now lives next door to me in Bryan, keeps up with what's going on there.
There is a school in downtown Houston.

What if each of these schools use the Saudi textbooks you describe? Our Constitution allows freedom of religion, but to endorse terrorism, I believe crosses the line into treason. Why are we allowing this to happen?

Because we give them the benefit of the doubt. It has worked in the past. I wish I knew about the future.

UPDATE - Islamic Saudi Academy Director Arrested child abuse.
