A recent controversy has erupted over the discovery of a textbook that is unashamedly pro-Islam and anti-West within the Florida school system. The book in question is used in the Brevard County school system and is a textbook on world history. However, the version of history is definitely distorted.
I first came across this story on the Fox News website written by Todd Starnes (who does yeoman's work ferreting out the progressive left) but have since seen several local news stories about it. I live in central Florida and have found that this textbook is used statewide for three years. Until now, there has been no complaint. This is probably due to the fact that the book is used in AP courses, which most students do not take, and most parents do not pay any attention to what their children are learning in the school system.
It appears that the book discusses Christianity and Judaism very sparingly but devotes a whole chapter, consisting of 36 pages, to Islam. Lessons are given to students about the Koran and the five pillars of Islam, yet nothing on our Western beliefs. The disparity between how the various religions are represented is further illustrated in two examples. First is that the textbook says that Jesus proclaimed himself to be the Messiah while stating as fact that Mohammed is a prophet. Also the spread of Christianity and Islam are described quite differently. The spread of Christianity is described in blood-drenched terms such as "massacre" while Islamic expansion is described as being welcomed by the newly annexed.
Such double-dealing with historical facts just shows how the progressive left and the forces of sharia law are willing to go to promote their agenda. I can tell you that Islam brutally conquered many people and they were not "welcomed." Yes, Christianity has also dealt with forcible conversion too and such facts should not be ignored. It best serves us to be totally open and honest with historical facts and not sugar coat it one way or the other. While Christianity does have its share of bloodshed, many conversions happened peacefully through the devoted service of missionaries going out to live in pagan lands. Purposefully casting the entire spread of Christianity as blood-soaked savagery while Islam's expansion is shown as almost wholly peaceful is a despicable lie. Which is the point. Liberal progressives and their unholy alliance with those who push sharia law work best when they rewrite history. Just look at what children have been taught for the last few decades: that America is evil, capitalism is bad, Western religion is intolerant, and that socialism is a utopian reality. To see the fruits of such mis-education, just look at the young voters who lovingly voted for Obama and their belief system.
The Brevard County school district has just decided that it is too expensive to replace the books. They are spending $400,000 dollars to make a supplement to point out the dishonest bias and use it as a teaching tool. Naturally, the left is freaking out and proclaiming that the book isn't biased. The reason why Christianity isn't discussed is because, in their twisted minds, the whole book is filled with the magical, but invisible, positive portrayal of Christianity. Sheer madness.
One last side note. To those critics who will say that I know nothing about the spread of Islam or the true nature of Christianity's expansion, I can only say that they are wrong. I actually have a degree in Medieval History and have spent years studying the time period.
Another reason for the Separation of School and State.
Teaching of any form, semblance or iota of anything connected with Islam is a crime against humanity in my opinion. It is not a ‘religion’. It is a deep seeded insanity borne from Neanderthal sub humans who only seek to propagate their insanity to the entire population of the earth.
Progressive statist filth.

Don’t wait for Barry Lind to complain.
Barry lynn, that is.
“five pillars of Islam”
Death
Destruction
War on Woman
Pedophilia
Ignorance
I went into my porcelain Obama pResidential Library this morning and everything I did in there was better than anything that has ever come from Islam.
And who are the ones who recommended this book?
Name names and put the light on these roaches, otherwise they will continue to slip in these books when they think nobody is looking.
The indoctrination has been out in the “Open” for a decades. People just have to use “Common Sense”-—but they don’t have “time” to educate their children and they don’t have “time” to check out the “text” books which has been filled with operant conditioning for decades.
Parents don’t even have a problem with the sexualization (corruption) of their child’s normal sexual identity formation.
Sex Ed was put in in the 70’s-—designed by Cultural Marxists to destroy Christian Ethics in children-—and flip them for Atheism/occultism/paganism/Marxist/muslim “ethics”. Isn’t it funny how STD’s/abortion/morality went out the window with the advent of “Sex Ed” in our children. Innocence is essential to normal formation-—and it is being eliminated by schools and TV/Movies/porn. It will destroy morality in children.
Thanks, will ping the list tonight after work.
