Report on Biased Textbooks Goes to 500 Superintendents

January 4, 2012 By 42 Comments

The Christian Action Network has sent 500 school superintendents a report showing that many textbooks are biased against Israel and the West while whitewashing radical Islam. The report, authored by Citizens for National Security, examines 200 quotes from 30 textbooks used in Florida.

“[Students] aren’t being taught about the theological motivations behind radical Islam,” said Martin Mawyer, President of the Christian Action Network.

“The impression students are given is that terrorists are misguided fighters against Western imperialism and aggression, who are only wrong in their approach. It was amazing how many times the word ‘Palestine’ was used, making it sound like Israel was built on top of a conquered country,” he said.

The report lists several quotes from textbooks teaching students that the 9/11 attacks were a response to U.S. foreign policy. For example, one book says, “What were the sources of Muslim anger?…bin Laden declared that the attacks were a response to the ‘humiliation and disgrace’ that have afflicted the Islamic world for over eighty years.”

Another teaches that Bin Laden was motivated by the “military presence of the sacred soil of the Arabian peninsula and its support for Israel’s hostility to Palestinian nationalism.” The ideology of radical Islam is not discussed. While Bin Laden’s statements about the West’s foreign policies are mentioned, quotes about his ideology are not. For example, Raymond Ibrahim in “The Al-Qaeda Reader” brings to light this quote from Osama Bin Laden:

“In fact, Muslims are obligated to raid the lands of the infidels, occupy them, and exchange their systems of governance for an Islamic system, barring any practice that contradicts the sharia from being publicly voiced among the people, as was the case at the dawn of Islam.”

The texts also are also unfavorable to Israel. One textbook states, “Angered over the loss of their territory to Israel, some militant Palestinians responded with a policy of terrorist attacks.” In discussing the 1948 war, one textbook just says that “war soon broke out” without explaining that the Arabs invaded Israel with the objective of destroying it.

It then says, “By the end of the 1948 war, Israel controlled almost three fourths of Palestine, including land in the Negev Desert and half of Jerusalem. Jordan and Egypt divided the rest of Palestine between them.” Coupled together, it sounds if the war was one of conquest by Israel.

The report documents numerous instances where Islam is treated more favorably than Christianity. For example, one textbook states, “The Quran permitted fair, defensive war as jihad, or ‘struggle in the way of God,” and says that is how Islam expanded.  Another selected quote is that Jews and Christians “have historically enjoyed religious freedom in many Muslim societies.”

“[Islamic forces] rarely imposed their religion by force on the local population…By contrast, Christian monks motivated by missionary fervor, converted many of the peoples of central and eastern Europe,” is another textbook excerpt included in the report.

Some textbooks took a blatantly skeptical stance towards the historical accuracy of Judaism and Christianity.

    What then shall we do? We cannot not send our children to school. Most of us cannot afford private school. When my kids were young I'd attend School Committee meetings. I'd challenge them when they proposed guest speakers for sex Ed that were known to show how "fun" it could be to put a condom on with their teeth ( as the woman speaker demonstrated with a banana). When I challenged, I was accosted as not having any faith in our kids. The fact was just the opposite. I don't think they are farm animals that "will do it anyway" as most officials thought. I expect a certain level of decency and moral behavior from well taught children. "Well taught…" Therein lays the problem. It is upon us now. We must remain vigilant for the sake of our entire culture.

      When the apologists for our degraded culture defend teaching our children how to have sexual intercourse outside marriage with one another, and say that it's in our nature, I always think of C.S. Forester's character Charlie Allnut, who is on a steam launch with a missionary maiden, Rose Sayer, who tells her that it's in his nature to get drunk; she responds by telling him, "Nature, Mr. Allnut, is what we are put on earth to rise above." (The African Queen). One would think such a value would be enthusiastically embraced by our schoolteachers. Evidently not.

    Kudos to the Christian Action Network for exposing this. Western civilization is worth preserving.

  • Bamaguje

    Now we understand why Obama calls Major Nidal's Jihad massacre of 14 fellow Americans "workplace violence."

  • umustbkidding

    It's not just in religion. It's in civics that the text books lie to our children about the founding fathers and that we are a democracy not that we are a representative republic. Our civic book says that Jefferson is the only one who really wrote the constitution. Why? Because 26 of the 52 signers had Christian seminary degrees.

    Then there is the global warming indoctrination.

    I believe all of this is done so that our children will be willing slaves.

    I truly wonder if there is anything that our government can do that will cause us to respond. Look at what our Senate passed a week ago and Obama signed into law. s 1867. This president now can use the US military instead of the National Guard and detain without charging any one they want. All they have to do is say that the perp was belligerent to the US government – not it's people mind you. You become an enemy of the state.

    The silence in the press and the Republican party is deafening. Gotta go tea party.

    • tagalog

      And then there's the inconvenient fact that Jefferson actually wrote much of the Declaration of Independence (which mentions the Creator about three times), while Madison is the one usually credited with the lion's share of the input into the Constitution. So our teachers' scholarship leaves a bit to be desired. Ah, those halcyon days at teachers' college.

    The Christian Action Network has sent 500 school superintendents a report showing that many textbooks are biased against Israel and the West while whitewashing radical Islam.

    If the report is labeling MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX ISLAM as being radical Islam, then the report itself is also tainted and biased as well, as I hate to rain on this incompetent writer's unhinged parade again for the umpteenth time, but the existence of radical Islam, extremist Islam, moderate Islam or whatever is a false PC multicultural myth. In fact, it is the same kind of PC multicultural myth that inevitably led to the two greatest strategic blunders ever in American history in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    “[Students] aren’t being taught about the theological motivations behind radical Islam,” said Martin Mawyer, President of the Christian Action Network.

    I can't endorse lame crap like this. I also denounce the report as being propaganda intended to blind our children via the false ideology of PC multiculturalism. Indeed, it should be opposed by all!

    “The impression students are given is that terrorists are misguided fighters against Western imperialism and aggression, who are only wrong in their approach.

    Two wrongs never make a right. If you brainwash kids into believing in the fantasy that Islam is a so-called Religion of Peace™ being hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists and radicals, that is just as self-destructive as blaming Western imperialism. Indeed, just like the existence of Western imperialism is a false PC multicultural myth, the existence of radical, extremist, and moderate Islam is also a false PC multicultural myth. Again, there is only MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX ISLAM, and any other incarnations are non-existent false PC multicultural myths.

    What were the sources of Muslim anger?

    There was no anger. ALL MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX MUSLIMS, per the dictates of the sixth and most important pillar of Islam, are obligated to fight jihad in the cause of Allah against non-Muslim unbelievers to make Islam supreme.

    Indeed, the sixth and most important pillar of Islam doesn't make it an obligatory duty for only so-called “radical Muslims” to fight jihad in the cause of Allah, and the sixth and most important pillar of Islam doesn't make it an obligatory duty for only so-called “extremist Muslims” to fight jihad in the cause of Allah, and the sixth and most important pillar of Islam doesn't make it an obligatory duty for only so-called “Islamist Muslims” to fight jihad in the cause of Allah, while at the same time giving an exemption and free pass for so-called “moderate Muslims” to fight jihad in the cause of Allah. Instead, the sixth and most important pillar of Islam makes it an obligatory duty for ALL MUSLIMS ON EARTH to fight jihad in the cause of Allah against non-Muslim unbelievers to make Islam supreme. No exceptions.

    Hence, ALL MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX MUSLIMS ON EARTH are jihadists. A tiny minority of them are violent jihadists, while the vast overwhelming majority of them are non-violent stealth and deceptive jihadists, and the the few that are not jihadists are not Muslims at all, but instead blasphemous apostates that per the dictates of Islam must be executed.

    Thus, the 9/11 violent jihad attacks were MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX MUSLIMS fulfilling their holy obligation, per the sixth and most important pillar of Islam, to fight jihad in the cause of Allah against non-Muslim unbelievers to make Islam supreme.

    The ideology of radical Islam is not discussed.

    Good…because radical Islam doesn't exist, since its existence is a false PC multicultural myth of the kind that led to the two greatest strategic blunders ever in American history in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    “In fact, Muslims are obligated to raid the lands of the infidels, occupy them, and exchange their systems of governance for an Islamic system, barring any practice that contradicts the sharia from being publicly voiced among the people, as was the case at the dawn of Islam.”

    Notice above that unlike the unhinged writer of this lame a$$ article, who is determined to brainwash our children into the false ideology of PC multiculturalism, that Raymond Ibrahim never mislabels MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX ISLAM as being radical Islam.

    He denied that Hezbollah is a terrorist group, instead calling it a “resistance organization.”

    He is 100 percent right, terrorism is a Western manifestation only, while jihad, on the other hand, is an Islamic manifestation only. As terrorism and jihad are two very separate and mutually exclusive manifestations and indeed two entirely different and very distinct things altogether. As a matter of fact, Muslims never ever perpetrate terrorism under any circumstances whatsoever because it is a Western manifestation only, which means it is blasphemous and blasphemy in Islam is a capital offense.

    Instead, Muslims fight jihad, which can be both violent and non-violent in stark contrast to terrorism, which can only be violent, in the cause of Allah against non-Muslim unbelievers to make Islam supreme, also in stark contrast to terrorism, which can be for any number of political causes. In addition, jihad specifically targets non-Muslim unbelievers, either civilian non-combatants like in the Madrid Train Bombing or military combatants like US troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, while terrorism, on the other hand, indiscriminately targets civilian non-combatants.

    In addition, the term “resistance” is used by MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX MUSLIMS as code words for jihad. Hence, the terms “resistance movements or resistance organizations” refers to jihad movements or jihad organizations.

    He recently was a guest speaker in over a dozen high school classes in the area, addressing about 500 students.

    Nevertheless, if you and your acolyte buddies at Christian Action Network are successful in indoctrinating our children to believe the false ideology of PC multiculturalism is irrefutable, then MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX MUSLIMS will inevitably be indoctrinating our children in thousands of schools until Islam inevitably becomes supreme.

    Its education must be taken with the utmost seriousness.

    Which is why loons like this writer and the Christian Action Network must also be stopped from brainwashing our children into the false ideology of PC multiculturalism.

    Yep, these text books definitely need to be burned, but at the same time they don't need to be replaced with other text books that brainwash our children into the false ideology of PC multiculturalism, as this writer is advocating.

      O to mamma,

      Perhaps you should travel to the middle east and ask the Hamas, Hezballah and
      Muslim Brotherhood leaders what they mean when they say they wan
      t to destroy Israel, America and the west to make this a Muslim world for Allah. If you make it back, let us know.

      • ObamaYoMoma

        Take what back? Apparently, you misread my post. There is no one else on this site that is more familiar with respect to the jihad of conquest being waged by the Islamic world against the Jewish unbelievers in Israel than me. Not only that but Israel is by far not alone when it comes to being a victim of permanent and perpetual jihad, as non-Muslim unbelievers all around the world are also victims of permanent and perpetual jihads of conquest being waged against them as well.

        • Western Canadian

          ‘take what back?’ does not appear in his post. Perhaps you should learn to read?? No, wait, you would have to learn how to think first… hopeless, don’t bother.

    • Western Canadian

      Amazing. Such entrenched stupidity and pomposity…. Islam was practicing terrorism, on mo’s orders, before it was even in contact with the west. And the rest of this loons are just as sick and fantasy based…. He is beyond hope. Anyone with the mentality of a jihadist, cannot be reasoned with.

      • ObamaYoMoma

        Islam was practicing terrorism,

        Uhm….what do you call the stealth demographic conquest of Medina? Muslims never ever employ terrorism simply due to the fact that it is considered blasphemous under Islam.

        Dude…you are not worth responding to as you are a complete and utter neophyte.

    • gilbert

      terrorism or Jihad: sounds like symantics or the wordplay of lawyers. Or someone in a cave with a scimitar, cutting off the heads of their captors in front of a camera calling it nothing personal, just buisness (jihad). I wish I knew the answer and I wish We all could live together in peace…but not at the price of giving up my Christian beliefs or being told I have to decide or die. I would much rather be proactive and defend my way of life now without a sword or m16 in hand.

    There was an article by Ayn Rand called "The Comprachicos." "Los Comprachicos" were evil people who monstrously disfigured children to become performers and beggars – as in the recent movie "Slum Dog Millionaire." In the article, she compares what the Comprachicos did to the social pressure to conform put on toddlers and very young children in Progressive school classrooms. She argues that such pressure is cognitively maiming, making it difficult for all but the strongest to maintain their independence. Unlike the original Comprachicos, however, the scars from this "operation" are invisible, all on the inside. Today, this "operation" goes on at all levels of education. The many videos of organized President Obama adulation by teachers are a testament to what's happening. "To preserve one's mind intact through a modern college education is a test of courage and endurance, but the battle is worth it and the stakes are the highest possible to man: the survival of reason," – Ayn Rand

      Read on the "Occupy Song" that 8 year olds were forced to sing. The lyrics, which mirror the very same sentiments and slogans espoused by the Occupy movement, have critics up in arms. The highly politicized song, which many believe is intended to indoctrinate children, follows below:

      Some people have it all
      But they still don’t think they have enough
      They want more money
      A faster ride
      They’re not content
      Never satisfied
      Yes — they’re the 1 percent

      I used to be one of the 1 percent
      I worked all the time
      Never saw my family
      Couldn’t make life rhyme
      Then the bubble burst
      It really, really hurt
      I lost my money
      Lost my pride
      Lost my home
      Now I’m part of the 99

    There are choices:
    -get involved and you and other like-minded people take over the school boards.
    - homeschool your children. If you think it is a little beyond your abilities, look again. Get creative – maybe you can teach the math and science while your neighbor teaches some of the other topics. Who is to know? Look into it there must be a way around.

    Suprise , suprise , there's liberal bias in education.

    “What were the sources of Muslim anger?…bin Laden declared that the attacks were a response to the ‘humiliation and disgrace’ that have afflicted the Islamic world for over eighty years.”

    “Another teaches that Bin Laden was motivated by the ‘military presence of the sacred soil of the Arabian peninsula and its support for Israel’s hostility to Palestinian nationalism.’”

    Do these textbooks explore the idea that a “humiliated” and “disgraced” Muslim’s real gripe is with his own government that has its own foreign policy?

      My argument is, and will conuinte to be, that Islam itself is inherently ‘extremist’. A literal interpretation of the Quran (which, as the perfect word of Allah, does not allow for reformation or revision) calls for violence and intolerance towards all things non Muslim. Islam does not wish to be merely one religion of many, but (in accordance with its core teachings) explicitly seeks to be at the top of the food chain. Islam hold for itself the right to acquire recruits from any other religion but not the other way round. Islam may defend itself from other religions but other religions must not defend themselves against Islam. Any attempts to do so would be an insult to Islam, and therefore rigorous actions must be undertaken by Islam to stop this, be it Jihad or whatever necessary. I fight the ideology of Islam itself. My adversaries are not Muslims per se, as Muslims are the first and foremost victims of Islam’s radical, aggressive, and intolerant vision for the world.I hope you don’t delete this comment. I am very passionate about my views, and I know I am right–the preponderence of evidence supports my viewpoints. Censorship is not the answer–please hear me out on this blog! Thank you.

  • Brujo Blanco

    The liberals and Islamics have something in common and that is the rewriting of history. The other common element is their common hatred of all that is good with our country.

  • LindaRivera

    Hard working struggling taxpayers are paying taxes so America's children can be brainwashed, and taught filthy LIES in school? So that America's children can be taught to hate America, Israel, Judaism and Christianity and LOVE Islam.

    Surely, class action lawsuits can be brought all over America, against the school textbook manufacturers and the schools for teaching LIES and hate for America and our ally, Israel.

    This horrible evil that threatens to destroy America's children and America CANNOT be meekly accepted! Huge street demonstrations are urgently needed. Our survival as a nation is at stake.

    • aspacia

      Linda,

      K-12 teachers must take all comers, and we are hammered when too many fail. I am not liberal, nor much of a conservative, albeit a patriot. Teacher must be prevented from inserting politics into the classroom, and they should be fined for doing so. This is not teaching, it is indoctrination, and I ethically will not indulge in it.

      Most k-12 students would be expelled from private voucher schools, trust me. Actually, I wish expelled students were not allowed back in the same district, then perhaps their parents would discipline their offspring instead of enabling bad behavior.

    One great thing about Santorum, is that he realizes and addresses as a theme the fact that society and culture build the institutions that create wealth and security, in particular, sound families, and that weakening families are weakening the nation. Never before have I seen a major politician address it seriously. (Although, to his credit, Obama has made a few comments about this on a limited scale, mainly with respect to black families. Seems coming from a childhood where he longed for his absent dad, made him sensitive to what broken families do to kids).

    I don't see Romney dealing with this, except periodically as an aside.

    This matter of biased textbooks is related.

    A Pres Santorum would be aghast. Despite that education is a state matter i believe he'd make such bias a public matter. Would a Pres Romney? I don't think so. Despite that he's obviously a family man, I don't get the impression he's much of a social thinker. He'll say the right conservative things about family, and believe it too. But his mind is more on technocratic aspects of governance, not philosophical underpinnings. At least, that's my hunch.

  • http://libertyandculture.blogspot.com/ JasonPappas

    It's shocking. What's worse is that few parents are like you. As you point out, they don't look at the books or give the correct version.

    Parents don't confront the school system. I live in solid Republican territory and the school pushes propaganda without protest. It's clear that the next generation is going to have very different values if we don't stop this.

  • aspacia

    Did you complain to the school board? I would!

  • ObamaYoMoma

    Your humility overwhelms.

    Another emotional off topic rant. Did you CC your fellow cohort in Internet stalking before you posted it or right after you posted it? You can't control yourself moonbat! Nevertheless, at least I'm not blinded by PC multiculturalism. Thus, unlike faux conservatives like you, I'm not nearly mentally deficient enough to believe false PC multicultural myths like most Muslims are moderates.

  • ObamaYoMoma

    Another off topic personal attack. You are definitely a faux conservative with deep seated emotional issues.

  • ObamaYoMoma

    Hey Skipster…another one of your many errors…(you make an awful lot for someone who thinks he is infallible).

    Why are you so obsessed with attempting to coerce me into admitting that I'm wrong? Especially when it couldn't be anymore obvious that you are a leftwing flake without a clue. Not to mention that you are way out of your league.

    I NEVER, EVER wrote that "MOST Muslims are moderate" (I challenge you to prove that I have…but you can't, because you;re a loser).

    Well, I'm not going to waste time on you because frankly you aren't worth the effort as I don't have anything to prove to you or anyone else. Nevertheless, you told me on more than one occasion that you believed in moderate Muslims, but at the same time you also tentatively agreed with banning mass Muslim immigration because you claimed that we couldn't tell so-called radical Muslims from so-called moderate Muslims until after it was too late. Indicating at the same time that because you are blinded via PC multiculturalism, you are oblivious to non-violent stealth and deceptive jihad, since if isn't violent then it is not construed as being terrorism, and if it is not construed as being terrorism, then per the dictates of PC multiculturalism it is unopposed.

    In any event, the existence of moderate Muslims, exactly like the existence of radical Muslims, extremest Muslims, Islamist Muslims, etc., etc., etc., are false PC multicultural myths. There is only MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX MUSLIMS and MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX ISLAM.

    In addition, per the sixth and most important pillar of Islam, ALL MAINSTREAM ORTHODOX MUSLIMS ON EARTH are jihadists. A tiny minority of them are violent jihadists, while the vast overwhelming majority of them are non-violent stealth and deceptive jihadists, and the few that aren't jihadists are not Muslims at all, but instead blasphemous apostates that per the dictates of Islam that must be executed.

    I merely acknowledged the existence of what moderate Muslims….(which in no way implies that there is a moderate Islam).

    Not really….on more than one occasion you said that you believed most Muslims are moderate, but because there is no way to tell the difference between so-called radical Muslims and so-called moderate Muslims you reluctantly therefore supported banning mass Muslim immigration. Indeed, do you also support reversing mass Muslim immigration as well?

    Meanwhile, the 'Christian Action Network' is one of the few organizations anywhere in America trying to fight the whitewash of Islam in our schools,

    However, they are also trying to brainwash our children into the false ideology of PC multiculturalism and at the same time render them into becoming unhinged moonbats exactly like you and the idiot that wrote this article.

    It's part of your illness Skip…the inability to think in anything other than absolutes.

    Ah…moral relativism. No wonder you are so mentally incompetent.

    With respect to the rest of your off topic nonsense, stick it up where the sun doesn't shine.

  • scum

    I got a box o' chill pills for you brothers if you need them. Wow. Remember, the so-called "Sixth Pillar" is controversial within Islam, a fact conveniently omitted by Obamayomama. And no, there isn't "just mainstream orthodox Islam." It was never that simple, that why we have the Sunni/Shia split. It's like saying there's "only mainstream Christianity," as if that would make any sense during the dark days of the Guy Fawkes conspiracy, which by the way would have been one of the most successful terrorist attacks of all time, had it not been foiled by a bit of luck.

  • ObamaYoMoma

    RESPONSE: Caught you in another lie Skippy, just like the Robert Spencer quote.

    I repeat…on more than one occasion you told me that you believe the preponderance of Muslims in the world are moderate Muslims, but that you still reluctantly support banning Muslim immigration because like you said there is no way to tell the difference between radical Muslims and moderate Muslims, which by the way is ludicrous, since neither incarnation exist except for in the dark recesses of your unhinged PC multicultural blinded mind.

    In addition, you intentionally dodged my question. Would you support reversing mass Muslim immigration?

    As for as the rest of your off topic personal attack goes, like I said shove it up where the sun doesn't shine.

  • ObamaYoMoma

    Remember, the so-called "Sixth Pillar" is controversial within Islam, a fact conveniently omitted by Obamayomama.

    It's only controversial with respect to people like Karen Armstrong and John Esposito, or in other words, with respect to Saudi bought and paid for professional Muslim apologists. Indeed, it is contained in The Noble Koran published in Saudi Arabia by the “King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Qur’an, Madinah, K.S.A.” You can’t get any more official than that. Not to mention that the Saudis already own 80 percent of all the mosques in the world and the distribution of The Noble Koran is by far the widest in the world. Indeed, a footnote on page 39 explains surah 2:190 where every Muslim on earth gets his marching orders to participate in holy fighting as it is clearly commanded that every Muslims fight jihad in the cause of Allah against non-Muslim unbelievers to make Islam supreme:

    “Al-Jihad (holy fighting) in Allah’s Cause (with full force of numbers and weaponry) is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars (on which it stands). Allah’s Word is made superior, (His Word being Lailaha illallah which means none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), and His Religion (Islam) is propagated. By abandoning Jihad (may Allah protect us from that) Islam is destroyed and the Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honour is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim, and he who tries to escape from this duty, or does not in his innermost heart wish to fulfil this duty, dies with one of the qualities of a hypocrite.”

    In case you still have doubts, then look up the sword verses of the Koran that because they are some of the very last verses issued by Muhammad shortly before he died, those sword verses, per the universally accepted Doctrine of Abrogation, abrogate, i.e., superseded and replace, any and all earlier issued verses of the Koran that they conflict with them.

    And no, there isn't "just mainstream orthodox Islam.

    I have a bridge I need to sell you.

    It was never that simple, that why we have the Sunni/Shia split.

    That is not what I'm talking about moonbat. I'm talking about there is no such thing as moderate Islam, extremist Islam, and radical Islam as all those things are false PC multicultural myths. Learn to read. Buy some glasses and stop wasting my time.

    It's like saying there's "only mainstream Christianity,"

    Only moonbats like you are mentally incompetent enough to morally equate Islam with Christianity as Islam is not a faith-based religion but instead a supremacist theo-political totalitarian ideology that masquerades as being a religion to dupe the gullible societies it intends to eventually subjugate into a very draconian form of Islamic totalitarianism via the eventual imposition of Sharia for the purpose of stealth demographic conquest to make Islam supreme.

    Nevertheless, I really know why you morally equate Christianity with Islam, it's because you are a bigot that takes every opportunity you can to bash Christianity.

    Moreover, Muslims never ever perpetrate terrorism, as in the Islamic world terrorism, which is a Western manifestation only, is considered blasphemous and therefore is a capital offense.

  • ObamaYoMoma

    Not yet until you get some more lies on the record first, then I'll look it up and expose you.

  • ObamaYoMoma

    I did indeed write that I oppose Muslim immigration because there is no way to tell the difference between a moderate and an extremist, but I NEVER wrote that "MOST Muslims are moderate" as you so erroneously claim.

    Just admitting that you believe that a significant proportion of Muslims are moderates and a significant proportion of Muslims are extremists is proof positive that you are a loon incredibly blinded by PC multiculturalism. By the way, the “MOST” part was deliberate to bait you to address the issue. Thanks for taking my bait and addressing the issue and demonstrating at the same time that you are a neophyte and a loon when it comes to Islam.

    Yet, you want to Internet stalk me and bombard me with tons of off topic personal attacks to attempt to coerce me into admitting that I'm wrong about Islam when I'm not wrong. You are very hilarious and more than just a little unhinged to say the least. Anyway, thanks for publicly demonstrating it. I really appreciate it.

    Indeed, please describe what in your unhinged PC multicultural blinded mind constitutes so-called moderate Muslims and what constitutes extremist Muslims?

    This makes you WRONG Skippy.!!!.

    Yeah right! Just like clockwork there is that inevitable and extremely predictably absurd charge again. You are wrong! You just can't leave sleeping dogs lie. Are you going to hound, harass, and attempt to intimidate me via another Internet stalking and coordinated off topic personal attack campaign again in order to attempt to coerce me into admitting that I'm wrong. Don't hold your breath and seek mental help to attempt to control your unhinged and out of control emotions.

    and directly contradicts your ridiculous (and utterly egotistical) assertion that "I NEVER make a statement on ANY issue unless I'm ABSOLUTELY certain I am correct."

    Uhm…did you or did you not make the incredibly idiotic and stupid assertion that significant portions of the Islamic world consist of moderate Muslims and that significant portions consist of extremist Muslims per the dictates of PC multiculturalism? Therefore, as always I am right and you are obviously blinded to the hilt by PC multiculturalism, at the same time that you also falsely claim to be a conservative. Yeah right…you are about as conservative as GWB was conservative. Indeed, with conservatives like you and GWB, conservatives don't need enemies.

    Poor Skippy. I knew the day you made that statement that you were a very, very troubled individual.

    What statement? That you stupidly believe in the false PC multicultural myth whereby the Islamic world can be divided into two camps of moderate Muslims and extremist Muslims? Give me a break you moonbat!

    That's why I've been trying to help you ever since.

    Yeah right. Like launching Internet stalking campaigns and coordinated off topic personal attacks like an overly emotional adolescent and extremely delusional leftwing moonbat to attempt to hound, harass, and coerce me into admitting that I'm wrong when I'm not even remotely close to being wrong, and never mind the fact that I could care less that you are incredibly unhinged. Indeed, if you want to remain an unhinged loon for the remainder of your very miserable life forever, then by all means be my guess. More power to you. Halleluiah.

    The way I see it, if I humiliate you often enough, maybe it will occur to you that your are fallible like the rest of us…and then, you can begin to overcome your God-complex/NPD.

    Oh okay…so that is your unhinged motivation for Internet stalking me and launching myriads of unhinged off topic personal attacks to attempt to intimidate me. You want to humiliate me because I'm not dumb enough like you to become incredibly blinded by PC multiculturalism, which is a byproduct of leftism, by the way.

    Nevertheless, if you really want to humiliate me, why don't you try beating me at my own game instead, which you are entirely incapable of doing? Thus, your immense frustration is very understandable. Of course, normal people wouldn't unnecessarily subject themselves to this sort of unhinged brain damage.

    By the way, do all much more intelligent true conservatives than you also suffer from God Complex's as well? Look….do yourself a favor, seek mental help for your severe mental issues before you lose it altogether, if it isn't already too late.

    Poor Skippy. Makes a patently false assertion, that I once said that "MOST Muslims are moderates"…you're called out on this fallacy….and then you change your tune, claiming your assertion ISN'T false because I acknowledge that SOME Muslims are moderate.

    It's not false. Instead it was bait used to entice you to stop prevaricating and to get you to admit that you believe that the Islamic world consist of so-called moderate Muslims and so-called extremist Muslims, per the dictates of PC multiculturalism, which is a totally false leftwing political ideology and a very destructive form of cultural communism. Anyway, thanks for being gullible enough to swallow my bait. It saved me a lot of time.

    By the way, according to you, please explain to us what exactly constitutes a so-called moderate Muslim and a so-called extremist Muslim, and also what portion of the Islamic world consist of so-called moderate Muslims relative to so-called extremist Muslims, according to you and your incredibly mentally deranged mind?

    This is identical to the Robert Spencer quote…where I suggested you share with Robert your bizarre theory that Saddam could save the world from Jihad…and you responded "where do you think I got the idea."

    Oh my lord, tell me he is not dragging up this absurd crap again. You just can't overcome your unhinged obsessions thanks to your leftwing proclivity to always emote! And what does any of it have to do with your insane belief that the Islamic world is comprised of so-called moderate Muslims and so-called extremist Muslims, per the dictates of PC multiculturalism?

    Okay…where did I get the idea? From a thread on Robert Spencer's website. The alleged quote is a figment of your overly active imagination, as I subsequently qualified where the discussion came from. Nevertheless, hindsight is 20/20. Thus, if the US administration in 1990/91 had green lighted Saddam's invasions of the Saudis and the Gulf States instead of ousting him out of Kuwait, the US could have in one fell swoop used Saddam as a convenient proxy to destroy the global jihad.

    Yet, like the unhinged moonbat you are, your unhinged position was and still is that Saddam with his 1950s vintage surplus military and untrained conscript Shi'a army, who all hated Saddam worse than Saddam's enemies, would inevitably have constituted an exponentially far greater threat to the world than the greater stealth global jihad at large. In other word, you are incredibly, incredibly, mentally incompetent.

    When I asked you to prove where Spencer ever postulated such a theory, you changed your tune and claimed you never said you got it from him.

    I didn't change my tune. I said that I got it from my participation in a thread on Robert Spencer's website that I had participated in a long time ago. You are the one that assumed I got it from Robert Spencer personally. Most people never assume. Nevertheless, other than feeding your unhinged obsession to attempt to humiliate me like you said, what does any of this brain damage have to do with the fact that you believe the Islamic world is comprised of so-called moderate Muslims and so-called extremist Muslims, per the dictates of PC multiculturalism? Seek mental help.

    See Skip, how you lie like a child when you get caught in your mistakes. Any normal person would just say, "so I was wrong, who cares" and the issue would be closed. But we both know that you're not normal. You're afflicted with a God-complex.

    The only thing I see is that you are still exceedingly obsessed, extremely irrational, and incredibly delusional as you always have been. Which is why you resort to Internet stalking campaigns along with bombarding me with coordinated off topic personal attacks in an effort to coerce and harass me into admitting I'm wrong when I'm not wrong and to feed your insane and unhinged obsession to humiliate me. It's one of the dangdest displays of mental illness I have ever personally witnessed firsthand.

    But golly Skip, I won't abandon you. We'll work through this together. I'll continue to show you your pronounced failures…and hopefully, you'll acknowledge that your human and prone to mistakes just like everyone else.

    Seek mental help please before is too late and you are too far gone.

    Instead of feeding your unhinged obsessions with off topic personal attacks, lets stick to the issues if you don't mind.

    For instance, do you support reversing mass Muslim immigration with all of its excess baggage?

    Since you naively believe like a loon that the Islamic world consist of so-called moderate Muslims and so-called extremist Muslims, what is your definition of a so-called moderate Muslim and what is your definition of a so-called extremist Muslim?

    Again, since you naively believe like a loon that the Islamic world consist of so-called moderate Muslims and so-called extremist Muslims, what proportion of the Islamic world consist of moderate Muslims and what proportion of the Islamic world consist of extremist Muslims.

    I have repeatedly asked these questions of you over and over again, but because you are severely mentally deranged you continually refuse to answer these questions at the same time you continually try to humiliate me in order to feed your unhinged and insatiable obsessions.

    "Textbooks should not be written favouring one group over the other."

    I disagree. They should be written to favor those who seek the good over evil, right over wrong, and success over failure. Having too much of an open mind got us into the situation we are in today: We gave evil, wrong, and failure a platform.

    ok, am i the only one, but when I try to google this book I get a blank page with the # symbol and nothing else. I would like to see this book for myself and have hit a roadblock.
