Madrassas Should Be Model for America’s Schools
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 9 July 2012 | John Semmens

Posted on 07/09/2012 3:15:30 PM PDT by John Semmens

Representative Andre Carson (D-IN) suggests that public schools in America be reformed along lines to make them more like Islamic schools.

“In terms of effectiveness, the madrassas far exceed anything we’ve seen from the vast majority of this country’s public schools,” Carson argued. “The typical American public school student is an unmotivated drone with a sense of entitlement. Our graduates are too often indistinguishable from ignorant louts.”

“In contrast, the madrassa student is taught respect and obedience,” Carson asserted. “Its graduates are highly motivated to fight for change. Many are even willing to give their lives in this fight.”

As a final argument, Carson reminded everyone that “president Obama is a product of a madrassa education. His towering strength and undiluted commitment to fight for the transformation of this country is as strong an endorsement for the reform I am proposing as anyone could want.”

How much you want to bet this guy takes um-bridge at anything he considers to be Christian in school?

The same was true at the Hitler Youth encampments. We all know how that worked out.

Where did this guy serve his hard time?

Conversion to Islam in prisons is a big thing now.

And you thought prisons were just academies for the further hardening of criminal tendencies. Turns out they are also excellent adult-level madrassas.

Not only hardened criminals, but hardened jihadists as well.

This must be a parity, no one could be that deluded and get elected to office. The comparisons to Hitler Youth, and the khmer rouge abound. If this is no joke, this man must be replaced as soon as humanly possible.

Carson is the guy who said Tea Party members demonstrating in DC used the N word “15 times”.

A WW2 Vet told me that the US Navy taught him more in one year than Northwestern University taught him during all of his college career. FYI he's a DDS Norrthwestern grad.

What say military folks?

It's a satire.

Nevertheless, Carson should be replaced.

By golly, you're right. This is the first time that I've read a "Semi-News/Semi-Satire" article and did not catch on.

Either I'm losing my grip on reality or - more likely - the satire was very close to the truth.

Interesting conundrum for this dummie...how does he connect the so-called results of the madrassa education of the looter in chief with the approval of gay “marriage” and late-term abortion? Both of those are taboo in Islam.

Seems like the looter in chief forgot about those things from his Islam education, so maybe it is not so effective after all. Just like he does not have respect for anyone else, except if they are Muzzie kings.

WRONG

His grandmother who held the seat and died in office was functionally illiterate AND senile.

The good news is they've lumped all the Baraqqis into one district making a bunch of others locks for Rs.

They are, they are, with the exception that, instead of giving religious education (religion is taboo in public schools), they are giving sex education and exercises in “personal pride”.

Not satire, three earlier threads.

Muslim Congressman says U.S. schools should be modeled after madrassas

Muslim Congressman: U.S. Schools Should Be Modeled After Madrassas

America’s schools should be ‘modeled’ after ‘madrassas’ (Islamic schools).

“His grandmother who held the seat and died in office was functionally illiterate AND senile.”

Reflecting back on my 22 year residence in Indianapolis, I am now convinced that Julia Carson was the role model for Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee. The idiocy is breathtaking.

It’s a real embarrassment.
And Julia Junior will probably be in that seat for 40 years.
