An American Textbook


More Deception
Islamic 'jihad' means doing good works and Muslims fighting 'to protect themselves from Infidels especially Christians and Jews.

By de Andréa

Islamic "jihad" is an effort by Muslims to convince "others to take up worthy causes, such as funding medical research, and other charitable efforts" according to a middle school textbook used in California and other states.

It teaches even at its most violent, "jihad" is simply Muslims fighting "to protect themselves from those who would do them harm," says the "History Alive! The Medieval World and Beyond" book published by Teachers' Curriculum Institute.

If allowed to continue, and I have no reason to think otherwise, this brainwashing and propagandizing of our children in America, as well as the ongoing infiltration into our military and government, will lead to a predatory Islamic culture in America within the next 20 years. At that point, violent Islamic Jihad will be a daily experience in our streets, just as it is now in much of Europe. This coupled with the systematic destruction of our Constitution such as the hate speech laws and the disarming of U.S. Citizens leaving us at the mercy of the Islamic Jihadists we will soon be dominated by the Nation if Islam.

The picture is what American schools will look like if this propaganda is allowed to continue.

The following is what is going on all over America, pay very close attention to the deception and the infiltration of Islam into the text of U.S. School curriculum. This first wave of propaganda is to gain acceptance, once acceptance is achieved, the brainwashing of the ideologies of Islam will follow.

A parent whose child has been handed the text in a Sacramento district is accusing the publisher of a pro-Muslim bias to the point that Islamic theology has been incorporated into the public school curriculum.

"It makes an attempt to seem like an egalitarian world history book, but on closer inspection you find that seven (not all are titled so) of the chapters deal with Islam or Muslim subjects," wrote the parent, whose name is being withheld.

"The upsetting part is not only do they go into the history (which would be acceptable) but also the teaching of Islam," she said. "This book does not really go into Christianity or the teachings of Christ, nor does it address religious doctrine elsewhere to the degree it does Islam."

She said the book's one page referencing Jews "is only to convey that they were tortured by Christian Crusaders to get them to convert to ‘Christianity.’ (It fails to mention that the biggest persecutors of Jews throughout history and still today are Arab Muslims). It gives four other one-liner references to the Jews being blamed for the plagues and problems in the land.

"How can the writers of this text get away with this?" she asked. Bert Bower, founder of TCI, said not only did his company have experts review the book, but the state of California also reviewed it, and has approved it for use in public schools.

Note the brainwashing techniques:
He said the company tries to move history out from between the covers of a textbook and into students' minds, and that is how the book was developed.

"Keep in mind when looking at this particular book, scholars from all over California (reviewed it)," he said. "We have our own scholars who created the program; California scholars look at the program to make sure that it is accurate."

One of those experts who contributed to the text, according to the American Textbook Council, which released a scathing indictment of the project, is Ayad Al-Qazzaz.
"Al-Qazzaz is a Muslim apologist, a frequent speaker in Northern California school districts promoting Islam and Arab causes," the ATC review said. "Al-Qazzaz also co-wrote AWAIR's 'Arab World Notebook.’ AWAIR stands for Arab World and Islamic Resources, an opaque, proselytizing 'non-profit organization' that conducts teacher workshops and sells supplementary materials to schools."

The textbook council, an independent national research group set up in 1989 to review history and social studies texts in public schools, quoted directly from the book to provide evidence of its bias.

The Deception
The word jihad means, "to strive or struggle (just as Hitler’s “Mine Kampf” which means “My Struggle” in the conquest of the world) Jihad represents the human struggle to overcome difficulties and do things that would be pleasing to Allah. Muslims strive to respond positively to personal difficulties as well as worldly challenges. For instance, they might work to become better people, reform society, or correct injustice.

Jihad has always been an important Islamic concept. One hadith, (or account of Muhammad), tells about the prophet's return from a battle. He declared that he and his men had carried out the "lesser jihad," the external struggle against oppression. The "greater jihad," he said, was the fight against evil within oneself. Examples of the greater jihad include working hard for a goal, (world domination) giving up a bad habit, getting an education or obeying your parents when you may not want to.

Another hadith says that Muslims should fulfill jihad with the heart, tongue, and hand. Muslims use the heart in their struggle to resist evil. (Evil is classified as anything that is not Islamic) The tongue may convince others to take up worthy causes, such as funding medical research. Hands may perform good works and correct wrongs.

Sometimes, however, jihad becomes a physical struggle. The Quran tells Muslims to fight to protect themselves from those who would do them harm or to right a terrible wrong.(meaning revenge) Early Muslims considered their efforts to protect their territory and extend their rule over other regions to be a form of jihad. However, the Quran forbade Muslims to force others to convert to Islam. (An outright lie) So, non-Muslims who came under Muslim rule were allowed to practice their faiths."(Another lie)

The council, in describing the text as a book written by "dictation from Islamic sources," said such passages "should put speculation to rest about what California's seventh-grade students may learn about Islam. At the very least, the passages are incomplete. More precisely, they are dishonest and deceptive"

Such passages fail to explain "the essentially religious nature of the subject," the council said. "It ignores any challenge to international security and western-style law. The treatment is lyrical and loaded, echoing the language and deception recommended by Islamist consultants.” It fails for example, to identify Islam as a theocracy.

The Sacramento parent said she became suspicious because of the school's decision to send a copy of the book home with her son and he started describing how it would teach students to write in Arabic an how Islam is a teaching of peace..

A review left her even more worried. "I was disturbed because the greatest portion of this book is about Islam. It goes into the doctrine of Islam in detail, and does not reflect the truth," she said. "There are 35 chapters. Out of those, I counted at least seven [that focus] on Islam."

Text written by a Muslim propagandist
She said she looked at the publication's list of contributors, and found the name of Ayad Al-Qazzaz, whom she had herself for a class on Middle Eastern studies.” That was a big red flag for me," she said.

Read report by World Net Daily on the influence of Islamic "consultants" on public school texts in the United States, as well as how other schools have included the "Five Pillars of Islam" among their required courses.

The parent said she just wanted people to know of the agenda being taught. "After seeing Al-Qazzaz as one of the main contributors I began to put two and two together … about the extra book coming home only in this class and I questioned where this book's money source came from – I still do not know," she said. A clue about a place to start might be CAIR, the Counsel on American Islamic Relations, an “Islamic Terrorist Organization” operating and infiltrating in the United States.

"I am very troubled that in the name of tolerance and educating American children about the Muslim empire in history they get away with giving beginning Islamic teaching which may cause many to perhaps one day become Muslims," she said. "My son tells me that the students will even be using calligraphy to copy parts of the Quran in Arabic as an enrichment activity.” This parent doesn’t know how right on she is with her concerns.

A prime example of blind deception
The ATC's second excerpt from the book dealt with the definition and encouragement of Sharia law. "For example, the Quran teaches women to 'not display their beauty.' For this reason, Muslim women wear different forms of modest dress. Women cover their arms and legs. And also wear scarves over the hair, and the lower part of their face" the book said.

Christianity is addressed in chapters 3, 6, 31 and 32 of the book, including descriptions of the Crusades. The company's website shows an entire unit called, "The Rise of Islam," including chapters on the Arabian Peninsula, "The Prophet Muhammad," "The Teachings of Islam," "Contributions of Muslims to World Civilizations," and "From the Crusades to the Rise of New Muslim Empires."

The recommendations included that "students learn about the beliefs and practices of Islam" and "learn about the life of Muhammad and the rise, expansion and superiority of Muslim rule."

Promoters of the text say, “the textbook is the answer to the demands in today's society for a "multicultural" education, and whenever some historical subjects are taught, there is always controversy”.

Bower’s book, he said, "really gives students multiple perspectives." he also said he wasn't aware of any agenda held by any contributors to the book, including Al-Qazzaz. "I'll have to look into that," he said.

He said about one-third of California's districts use the book and so do thousands of other districts across the country.

Others may agree that students need to know about the world in which they live, but the TCI book is not the right one to teach them.

Reactions in other States
According to a report from William J. Bennetta at the Textbook League, officials in Scottsdale, Ariz., tested the book, and ultimately rejected it after parents rallied to complain. "Students who took a 7th-grade social students course … were subject to gross, prolonged indoctrination in Islam," he wrote.

He wrote: "Much of the indoctrination was delivered in a corrupt school text book titled 'History Alive! The Medieval World and Beyond,' produced by [TCI]," he said. "The writers of [the book], by relentlessly presenting Muslim religious tales and religious beliefs as matters of historical fact, have striven hard to induce students to embrace Islam."

He wrote that the indoctrination is "concentrated in chapters 8 and 9. This material consists overwhelmingly of Islamic religious propaganda. It includes blatant preaching as well as deceptive claims and extensive fraudulent narratives dealing with the beginnings of Islam, the life of Muhammad, and the inception of the Quran. These claims and narratives are disguised as accounts of history. They actually are restatements of Muslim fables and superstitions."

Bennetta also noted that the book exhibits contempt for Judaism and Christianity. "For example, in a passage in chapter 9, the TCI writers convey the lesson that a religious view held by Muslims is important, but views held by Jews and Christians are unworthy of consideration."

Further evidence of deception
Even the level of scholarly work is deficient, he continued. "They teach, in chapter 9, that if someone encounters some antiquated hearsay and jots it down, the hearsay becomes 'written evidence' of historical happenings."

In an Internet posting about the Scottsdale’s use of the text, Janie White, a parent in the district, reported the book included "fake history" along with "Islamic religious proselytizing and indoctrination techniques."

Officials with the Sacramento school district declined to respond to requests for comment about the book and its use.

Al-Qazzaz, who teaches at Cal State-Sacramento, has explained in other Internet postings "greater jihad" is to become better Muslims and "lesser jihad" is to fight against Islam's enemies. What he failed to mention, is that the Quran teaches that Islam is the enemy of everyone.

THE BOTTOM LINE: For those of you that have expressed doubt about the Infiltration and Jihad of America, I don’t know what it will take to cause your blind eyes to see, but the education or in this case the false teaching, propagandizing, and brainwashing of ones children is the easiest and most effective way of modifying a culture.

In the case of Islam, (a very patient people) the agenda is not to learn the ways of the West but to dominate the world with Islamic Sharia law. It matters little how long, or what it takes to achieve this agenda, after all they have been at it for almost 1400 years, as long as they continue the Jihad (the struggle just as Nazism’s Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf) to conquer the earth for their god, they believe Allah will look at them with favor.

The Taqiya or Taqiyyah the Islamic deception (true lies) doctrine found all through the Quran (although deceptively hidden) is what Islam is using on the West to deceive and alter the minds of Western culture into accepting Islamic Sharia law, to ultimately replace our entire Constitution and vision of America with the agenda of Islam.

The brainwashing of our children with Taqiya is a very powerful tool in the infiltration of cultural Jihad in the West. This has already proven to be successful throughout Europe.

The perspective on this is as if we would have promoted the teaching of Nazism in our schools during the 1920’s and 30’s before the war was over in the 40’s we would have embraced Nazism, moreover we would have exterminated our own Jews.

Parents with children in American public schools should either pull their kids out of these propaganda factories and put them in private schools, or home school them. If neither is possible then one should closely monitor the curriculum that is being taught to their children. If parents fail to do this, the future of ones children will be, problematic at best, at worst they will side with Islam in the Jihad of America; they may just turn out to be your worst enemy…
