US Textbooks: “Muslims Discovered America”

Join the discussion...

Too small? Click here This is a satirical website. None of what you read here has anything to do with Islam, because Islam is a Religion of Peace. Everybody knows that good Muslims never do the things they do, (because Allah does it for them, Quran 8:12) and we know that only our misperceptions, ignorance and stereotyping of Islam makes Muslims chop off heads, kill and rape women and children, bomb subways, buses, nightclubs and fly jets into buildings. If it wasn't for the media and da Jooozzz, we wouldn't even know its happening. We welcome open, honest, thoughtful, and vigorous discussion in the comments threads, so do yourself a favour and don't accuse us of being 'haters' because we are loving, tolerant people. Don't curse us, don't threaten us with death or hellfire, and don't accuse us of being "just like the terrorists" because we don't do to Muslims what they do to us or to themselves. Yes, we know that only idiots oppose Islam and sensible people submit, but  you should know that we are ignorant bigots, hypocrites and Islamophobes, and we prefer to remain that way... But since you are forcing yourselves (and your abhorrent belief-system on us) we will defend ourselves, because we must. Avoid tu quoque and ad hominem attacks. Don't bother with circular reasoning either, we been there, done it.  If you annoy us, you will be banned and your posts summarily deleted. Try to add to the discussion, don't try to sell snake oil, don't try to cover us with Islamic shrouds of kitman and taqiyya, don't bother with da'awa, (we've heard it before) don't spam us with long pieces of cut & paste, write in English, try to tell the truth, (we know that's hard for you because you are all pathological liars) but the truth will set you free, try it! One more thing: don't think you can post here under multiple monikers. You will quickly be disappeared! The same goes for trufers and conspiracy kooks: you get one chance, one time. Blow it out of your ass if you must; put your stupidity on display. But you won't be back, trust me on that. Take a deep breath before you post, try to make some sense, do not just vent, do not make a fool of yourself and if you prove us wrong you can earn 10 Islamic dollars for your piggy bank. Deal?

Muslims discovered America? There seems to be a global pandemic of the “stupid” virus and Muslims are the ones spreading it.

M Rob October 6, 2010 at 6:14 pm

Muslims have contributed alot to society………murder, terrorism, pedophilia, honor killings, stonings, dismemberment, beheadings, etc. And lets not forget the 72 virgins!! These 7th century miscreants must have some serious IQ’s – LOL!!

All Muslims may not be incompatible with our Western democratic (and for that reason vulnerable) societies, but their Muslim law, holy book and the parts of their culture derived thereof certainly are, and they must be relentlessly confronted and debated on the public space about those until those toxic elements have been somehow extirpated. Otherwise, this smoldering fire will spread and consume us when it has gained enough momentum. The choice is ours. Individual cowardice is not an option.

Agree Jac – we need to grab our politicians by the balls!

Was George Washington a Muslim? Wright Bros.too? Hitler submitted in the 1920s and wrote My Jihad or Mein Kamph to prove. The same month he died his last sermon was that Nazis were closer to Islam than to France!

Arabs are doing what Muhannad told them to do right before he died.
Kill all Jews and make sure no religion was allowed to exist in Arabia but Islam.

ISLAM = NAZISM & COMMUNISM. ALLAH & MUHAMMED = HITLER & STALIN. THE KORAN = MEIN KAMPF & THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO.

If this is so, then it was muslims who were responsible for bringing in old world diseases to America that produced the horrible genocide of native americans, which muslims are so quick to attribute to
europeans.

The Muslim/moonbat alliance is writing the textbooks for public schools. Also in Australia, and where else?
Copied from “Australian Islamist Monitor”
Islamic Brainwashing in Our Schools Must STOP
Australian Curriculum Studies Association Incorporated booklet called “Learning from One Another – Bringing Muslim Perspectives into Australian Schools”.
There is simply not much else that can be said about this devious attempt to smuggle Islam and Shariah via the school-door into our political system and our way of life.
Brainwashing schoolchildren into a false belief that Islam is a religion of peace and far superior to any other religion must not continue.

Anne,
You and people like you have to start lobbying the government!!

Curtis Boswell October 8, 2010 at 9:57 am

I cannot believe, that a public school textbook, would be allowed to promote any one religion, over any other religion, in these United States. Laws have been on the books, since our great nation’s inception, separating Church and State. Textbooks are chosen by public school system’s that receive state funds for the purchase of those same textbooks. This gives the Federal Government some say in the content of those books… and if the ACLU (with it’s extremely pro-Jewish bent) thought these books were any sort of real threat to the separation rule, they would be lobbying like all hell, to have it shut down. If this textbook is a real textbook, I cannot see it being adopted by any public school system in the United States, for the simple reason that it promotes a religion…something that U.S. Schools are forbidden by Supreme Court edict from doing. Christians cannot pray, nor hold Bible worship classes in U.S. Public Schools. Texts cannot glorify God. So tell me, how in the world we are going to have an Islamic textbook, promoting Islamic justification for their extremely “peaceful” actions? I think Islam is a terribly closed minded, tunnel visioned and intolerant religion… I believe that radical muslims and their ideals are very dangerous for world progression. As long as there is one muslim alive somewhere, with the idea that all who believe differently from him/her must submit to Islam or die…? Our world is in danger. There is no room for intolerance, for slavery, for submission, or for hypocrisy…and Islam, whether radical or not, is rife with all of the aforementioned. I don’t mind religion…as in somone seeking something bigger and possibly better than themselves… People have sought spiritual answers since time began. No. I am against religious F A N A T A C I S M. Fanatics ruin spirituality for all of us. U. S. Law, separating church and state, is what keeps religious fanaticism in check, here in these United States. Thank God, for the foresight of our founding fathers.

Kaw,
A petition is on the “Australian Islamist Moniter’s” site to ban the LFOA book, It was initiated a few months ago.

And this :
Senate candidate Vickie Janson says she supports religious freedom but Muslims need to integrate, and should not insist on exclusive facilities such as prayer rooms and toilets.
She says the Federal Government is endorsing the Islamisation of the country.
Islamic Brainwashing in Our Schools Must STOP
Australian Curriculum Studies Association Incorporated booklet called “Learning from One Another – Bringing Muslim Perspectives into Australian Schools”.
“It’s something that we can see in these government funded brochures, we see a presentation of Islam in our schools that just defies historical reality. You’ve got to question why would we be teaching these things in our school anyway, why would we be insisting upon a Muslim perspetive.
The booklet refers to al-Qa’ida as “a famous name” synonymous with the traditionalist movement in Islam, with no reference to terrorism.
Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil

Anne, please lobby. It’s the only way to stop the spread of Islam creeping in the Australian. Don’t let Australia turn into France, UK, and Switzerland!! Please LOBBY against it. May you have success in your endeavors and the support from like minded people. RISE UP !!

Curtis Boswell-I couldn’t agree more!! Brilliant and very interesting!!

This is why everybody thinks Americans are stupid. Are you pointing the finger at us? When YOUR soldiers are the one raping OUR Women? Die in your rage you scum hypocrite people who can’t take responsibility. Why is it that dozens of women are being raped in America and the only rape being conducted in Muslim countries are by Kuffar and Criminals?

Asad July 13, 2011 at 10:52 pm

Your hate is a testimony to the truth of Islam.
**By the way hate as much as you can, it shows how WEAK and UNSUCCESSFUL you are because your hate is doing nothing to weaken the Muslims universally rather Your economy is being destroyed and corruption is rising. “We don’t want dawah” and you don’t even know the concept of Taqiyya.

Raoul Machal July 13, 2011 at 11:39 pm

Your stupidity is a testimony to the lies of Islam, ESAD.

“Cultural Racism”

Rewrite History, Change the School Books:

Islam prejudice rampant in Europe’s school books: study

(AFP) –

BERLIN — European school books present a distorted image of Islam and Muslims, using stereotypes that breed mistrust of the faith and its people, a five-country study published Thursday showed.

This slanted view reflects “cultural racism,” concluded Germany’s Georg Eckert Institute for textbook research, which analysed 27 volumes used in classrooms in Britain, France, Austria, Spain and Germany.

The report, which was presented at the foreign ministry in Berlin, was billed as the first of its kind in Europe.
“Islam is always presented as an outdated system of rules which has not changed since its golden age,” Susan Krohnert-Othman, the institute’s project director, told reporters.
The researchers concluded that Islam is frequently presented as a homogenous entity without reflecting its diversity in different parts of the world. The report did not find major differences between the five countries studied.
The textbooks used at the secondary school level frequently set an “antiquated Islam” against a “modern Europe” and depict them as in conflict with each other.
Krohnert-Othman said that such representations “cannot challenge populist Islamophobia” among pupils.
“Even modern European school books include oversimplified presentations of Islam and they stand in the way of a credible intercultural dialogue with the Muslim world,” said Germany’s minister of state for European affairs at the foreign ministry, Cornelia Pieper, after reading the study’s findings.
The researchers called on schools to present information on reforms advocated by Muslim clerics and intellectuals as well as the modernisation process within the religion.
And they said instruction on cultural diversity needed a major overhaul.
“Muslims must no longer be classified as a separate group consisting of non-European immigrants whose traditions prevent integration,” the researchers concluded.

Textbook Analysis Project Coming Soon!

We have received a lot of emails asking when our textbook analysis project will be completed.

If you’re not aware of this, 18 months ago we launched an in-depth analysis of thirty-eight 6th through 12th grade textbooks, to see how they treated the subject of Islam.

The research has been completed, and what we have found will shock you. The historical falsehoods, bias and other misrepresentations of Islam in these textbooks are egregious and persistent.

We are currently completing the writing and final edits to the report, which will document over 245 errors in these various textbooks.

Here’s a small sample of what we found.

“In Medina, Muhammad displayed impressive leadership skills. He fashioned an agreement that joined his own people with the Arabs and Jews of Medina as a single community. These groups accepted Muhammad as a political leader. As a religious leader, he drew many more converts, who found his message appealing.”
McDougal Littell/Houghton Mifflin, World History – Patterns of Interaction, 2007, p.265

This is patently false. The Jews of Medina rejected Muhammad as a prophet, and as a result he drove two of the Jewish tribes out of Medina and exterminated the third one.

“Shari’a law requires Muslim leaders to extend religious tolerance to Christians and Jews.”
McDougal Littell/Houghton Mifflin, World History – Patterns of Interaction, 2007, p.268

This is so preposterous, so lacking historical justification or support within sharia law, one wonders how it ever got into a textbook.

“The Eastward Expansion of Islam:

In the early eighth century, Islam became popular in the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent. …”

Glencoe/McGraw Hill, New York
World History, 2008, pp.285-286

“Became popular” sounds more like a description of a new dance than what happened to the Hindus of India. Tens of millions of Hindus were slaughtered during the many jihad campaigns launched against it.

Rather than release this report as we enter the holiday season, we have decided to hold off until early next year. At that time we will mail an Executive Summary to every state and local school board member in America—over 70,000 people.

We will then post the Executive Summary and the full report online for downloading, and we will send out national emails with talking points on how to approach your local school board about the findings in this report.

Stay tuned!
