Before I began to research Rick Perry's record, I perceived him to be nothing more than a garden variety southern Republican governor, probably conservative, certainly more conservative than his 2010 opponent Kay Bailey Hutchison. But the fact that he had such a spirited challenge from both sides in the GOP primary, both from the moderates AND the Conservatives, made me wonder just how conservative he really was. Just a bit of research revealed the gardasil mandate on preteen girls and their parents (and the cronysim associated with it), his full throated advocacy of open borders, including a pipeline for illegals dubbed the Trans-Texas corridor, his provision of in state tuition to the offspring of illegals, his doubling of the state budget during his tenure and his support in 2008 of the pro-choice social liberal Rudy Giuliani for President. I was not shocked to find he was not a conservative (After all, 49% of the Texas GOP voters, who are overwhelmingly conservative, voted in the primary not to renominate him.) What took me completely by surprise was his great affinity for Islam, the warm words which the Hamas front group CAIR has for him but most significantly of all, the Islamicization of the curriculum in the Texas public schools which the supposedly conservative Governor of Texas has quietly implemented.
Perry, you see, has a cozy relationship with the Aga Khan, the head of the Ismailis, a realtively small sect sect of Shia Islam that reportedly has 15 to 20 million followers. Perry and Khan have confected two cooperation agreements between the state of Texas and Ismaili institutions, the most significant of which is a program, now pervading every Texas public school, to proselytize and to desensitize, schoolchildren about Islam. Dubbed the "Muslim Histories and Culture Project", it really amounts to Islamic propaganda forced upon a captive audience...the malleable youngsters attending Texas public schools.
Up until a few days ago, the Texas school curriculum could be viewed on the SAN ANTONIO INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT's own website:
www.saisd.net/admin/curric/sstudies/mhcp/mhcproject.html
This link has now mysteriously disappeared. I wonder if that has anything to do with the following posting on Pam Gellar's Blog, which exposes the entire enterprise, and which thankfully saved the curriculum abstracts:
Before the link to the San Antonio Independent School District Website was disabled and the website scrubbed, Gellar and company had lifted the curriculum abstracts from it, which show:
"a) High praise for Gov. Perry's collaboration with the Aga Khan, leaving no question about Perry's complicity and active support; and b) A thorough whitewashing of the nature and history of Islam that ignores Islam's bloody history while simultaneously portraying the Crusades as a bloody assault on Islamic soil by Christians."
*******************************
The curriculum abstracts characterize the interaction of Islam and Christianity as follows:
"While Islam "spreads" and "extends," presumably in the same way that dew forms on flower petals, Crusaders "wrest political control of the Holy Land from Muslim rulers, damaging the positive relations that had previously existed." Nowhere is it mentioned that the Crusades were prompted by two crises: (1) the ruthless treatment of Christian pilgrims attempting to see Jerusalem, which was under Muslim control, and (2) Byzantine Emperor Alexius's plea for European knights to help him take back territory that had just been overrun by an invasion of Muslim Turks. "
***********************************************
Also lifted from the now scrubbed website was the following:
"A presentation of the Koran and Muhammad that can only be described as open proselytization for Islam in public schools.
An idealized portrayal of Cordoba's "multicultural" society that minimizes the oppression and political upheaval that took place under Muslim misrule, which largely brought on its own demise through infighting similar to what we see in the Islamic world today. A bizarrely twisted portrayal of the Islamic world that blames Islam's repression of women on Western Colonialism.
A naked advertisement for the Aga Khan and the Ismaili sect of Islam. This is particularly dangerous because the Ismailis are a sect of only about 20 - 30 million people -- approximately 2% of the entire Muslim population and therefore not representative of Islam as a whole. Also, while the Ismailis may portray themselves as relatively modern, they still have an anti-Western historical narrative that portrays the West as colonialist while ignoring Islam's own bloody form of colonialism. In making overtures to build bridges with one small Islamic sect, Gov. Perry has replaced the Western narrative of history with the narrative of 1.5 billion Muslims who see the West as the enemy. AND YES, THEY REALLY DO SEE THE WEST AS THE ENEMY, as this curriculum makes clear."
*******************************
After reading the teacher's abstracts of this Islamic proselytism, which can be seen by scrolling down the link, I was aghast. If any teacher in the public schools dared to even mention Christianity or Judaism, they would be fired. This curriculum mandates far more than a casual mention. It lionizes Islam, papers over its excesses and trashes Christianity, all at the same time. It is doing immense, yet very subtle, harm to the most vulnerable among us...school children. I daresay that most public school parents in Texas are unaware that their children are being brainwashed in such a fashion.
It turns out that Rick Perry, the godfather of the gardasil mandate for preteen girls also subscribes to another mandate... mandatory Islamic proselytization. Both mandates, it should be noted, require no parental consent. This brought to mind the old slogan Jesse Jackson used to use, "We want hope for brains not dope for veins." Apparently, Governor Perry's education platform was "Gardasil for veins; Islamopropaganda for brains". As the writer correctly observes:
If Barack Obama had imposed such a curriculum on schools we'd be calling for his impeachment. Therefore it is unconscionable to look the other way when it comes to Perry.
The best that can be said for Rick Perry in connection with the Perry/Khan curriculum is that he is very naive. In putting across these two odious mandates on public school children in Texas, gardasil and the euphemistically titled "Muslim Histories and Culture Project", Perry has demonstrated either a colossal lack of judgment or a hidden (and darker) agenda, either of which should disqualify him from consideration for the GOP nomination.
something inbetween perhaps but that still does not explain what he allowed to happen on the robo-calls. He wanted an Hispanic on the bench even though this contender was against ELECTING JUDGES to TX. SUPREME COURT. Preferred them to be appointed. You can count on Perry to fall on the side of the will of the people huh? A real Tea Partier/10 amendment sort of guy.
Okey Dokey
Go back to your nap.
Texas is 38% hispanic!
Yes indeed. And we need to remember Obama was awarded the Peace Prize for doing nothing at all. Awards are mostly political manuvering....they mean little as far as substance goes, with a few exceptions.
Rules!

“I find your remarks frightfully bigoted and ignorant, I am sorry to say.”
Which remarks might those be? Everything I said is the truth. I mean I can see where that might bother people who don’t want to see it, but the truth is out there...and I found it. Maybe you should too before you call me ignorant.
This is a quote from an Ismaili member:
“Though it may sound strange, the Karim Aga Khan himself has never lead the Ismaili Du’a (new or old), or joined the congregation in any of the Ismaili Jamatkhana. He has often attended the Sunni Mosques and recited the customary Islamic Salaah, behind Sunni Pesh Imams.”
Whereas, HIS followers are forced to prostrate themselves before him OR before a PICTURE of him. He runs a cult in which he is a divine entity, even above mohammad. Only allah is greater than he, and he is allah here on earth. It is a cult within a cult, but he, himself, is a PRACTICING sunni.
And before you ask, no I cannot post a link to the source material because it must be paid for.
Very well!
“Go back to your nap.”
Articulate and persuasive, well done.
Kind of like when I simply asked you to explain why the article was wrong in it's facts and context, as you claimed.
By God, we're all lost without you! Say us a prayer.
There you go again. Elections are won (or lost) by one vote at a time. Mine is no more important than yours or anyone else but if Perry supporters cannot respond to negative claims about his actions as Texas governor with more than terse brush-offs that smack of immaturity and arrogance, it is a sign that those actions are not really defensible to conservatives.
Look, just because someone writes something does not mean it is true. Especially if someone sets out to write a Perry hit-piece.
I hope you are sophisticated enough not to fall for that.
Look, just because you dismiss BC's alleged 'hit-piece' as false but offer no rebuttal, even sneering at a request for clarification, doesn't mean the issues raised are inconsequential or the facts presented were inaccurate or 'out of context'. However, with no explanation, your rejection of the piece has little merit. Being asked to explain why BC was wrong isn't an attack on your honor (or Perrys', for that matter) but just an honest request for more information about a candidate most non-Texans (like me) know little about. Why does that pose such a challenge?
I fear you overestimate my impact upon world events.
Hey, lot's of folks do. It's OK.
What? I simply requested that you explain your dismissal of BC's claims against Rick Perry. In a series of posts, you basically told me to get lost. O.K. I will. There are lots of other threads to pursue on FR. This exchange is getting tiresome., for both of us, I'm sure. I suspect that you'll want a 'last word' so feel free. I won't respond. Life is too short.
Cheers!
I've noticed that also. They're like baby ducks that have been imprinted by his charisma, and they WILL follow him. Logic and facts can not be heard. They don't see how they are being manipulated by the media and by that increasingly porcine con man, Karl Rove, who wants to be The Architect of yet another RINO presidency.
GREAT! want it be great to have someone like Perry pushing Hispanic pro-amnesty Repubs so we lose what’s left of our country. Wonderful....cannot wait to vote for an affirmative action president and see what he does with the Supreme Court!
I'm of the mind Perry knows well he's going to have to come clean on some of these things which are ,honestly, alarming people.
Texas as become a "safe haven" for Muslims and their population in the thousands now. That is disturbing IMO. I understand much of this with the Khan was business dealings...but Khan definately adheres to Islamic agendas of usbmission to Islam...in peaceful ways. One is to populate an area until the numbers require representation in governance. Again...disturbing to say the least.
So how will Perry address this if President. It doesn't sit well with me at all.
Perry is not Pro Mexico or what ever your hang up is.
All I said was Texas is %38 hispanic.
How the **** is Perry to govern if he doesn’t recognize that?
I tend to agree. At first I was excited about Perry. Now, not so much. Just another politician.
Just so you know you're dealing with someone very much in tune with all aspects of Islam....and their terrorist groups.
WTF are you jibbering about? Texas is no Mecca. Do you have any percentages to support your claims?
Oooh! Thousands out of 25 Million!
I work with two Hispanic activists in fighting illegal immigration.i believe he is excessive on this and damaging. There is more than picking a Hispanic...some of them are SEPARATISTS. That’s a problem! We could not get bills passed relating to public safety..MOST OF THEM will not back enforcement on immigration. Why are you having a hard time understanding how drop-dead serious this will get in shaping politics?
