NPR ^ | Apr 20, 2017 | Tom Gjelten

...

The academy, which serves elementary and middle school grades, was established in 1999, "to cultivate and nurture a thriving American Muslim identity that balances religious, academic and cultural knowledge and imparts the importance of civic involvement and charitable work."

The school combines traditional classes with Islamic instruction. All students take Arabic, recite from the Quran, and are taught how to pray. Shad Imam, who has a daughter and a son enrolled here, says he and his wife were drawn to this school because of the way Islamic ideas are woven into the curriculum.

You’re either an American or a moslem. Anyone who believes in this cult of personality (it’s not a real religion) will never be loyal to the United States. The term moslem-American is an oxymoron. No such thing.

The headline inadvertently acknowledges the two are mutually exclusive.

No need to further discuss this muslim-American phenomenon — we have already decided to accept the barbarians in our midst, to our detriment and destruction. The muslim-Americans will just blend into the RAT party. Our nation cannot be saved as long as we accept our enemy in our society.

“American And Muslim Identity”
Two incompatible things. Can’t merge freedom with insane oppressive violent world-domination religious bull$hit.

They have Catholic Schools and Jewish Schools-—I suppose that this was inevitable.

Big difference. Our country was founded on Judeo-Christian values. The values taught by the satanic cult that calls itself islam are antithetical to said values.

Another sign of how America is kissing up to Islam, bigly.

islam is a metastasizing cancer, which unless cut-out, will infect the host to the point of death.

IOW, “How to not look like a crazed terrorist while secretly plotting the overthrow of American freedoms”, right?

So how long are the girls allowed to be absent for when their genitals are torn off with a dull blade?

The traditional method is a piece of broken glass and no anesthetic ... all easy to come by even in very poor countries.
