Politically Correct Muslims

...A national security expert says Muslims are using politically correct ideas of religious freedom to put the United States in jeopardy. America has as many as six million Muslims living within its borders and its total number of mosques has risen dramatically, jumping from 962 in 1994 to more than 1,200 in the year 2000. Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy says many of these mosques are preaching jihad under the guise of religious freedom. "We have to get beyond these blinders, these politically correct misperceptions if we are to fight this enemy and prevail," he asserts. Gaffney says it is time to take a hard look at what is going on in many of these mosques.

...Last week the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in Eklund v. Byron Union School District, a case in which several parents and children represented by the Thomas More Law Center challenged the school district's practice of teaching 12-year-old students to "become Muslims." The Law Center contends the actions of the school in question crossed a constitutional line to begin indoctrinating students, impermissibly placing them in the position of being trainees in Islam. For three weeks, the students were placed in Islamic city groups, took Islamic names, wore identification tags that displayed their new Islamic name along with the Muslim star and crescent moon symbols. As part of the exercise, the children received materials instructing them to "Remember Allah always," completed the "Five Pillars" of Islamic faith, and also memorized and recited the basmala, an Islamic phrase from the Koran, which they also wrote out on banners to be hung in the classroom. A federal district court judge in San Francisco had previously determined that the school district had not violated the Constitution of the United States with these activities. But according to Thomas More Law Center chief counsel Richard Thompson, "There is a double standard at play in this case. If the students had done similar activities in a class on Christianity, a constitutional violation would surely have been found." If the district's practice is upheld on appeal, Thompson says all public schools should begin teaching classes on Christianity in the same manner as the Islam class was taught in this case.

...Middle East expert and political communications consultant Don Feder says recent attacks by Palestinian terrorists on Israeli citizens are just the latest pieces of evidence that the Land-for-Peace deal pushed by the Bush administration is pointless and that the Israeli pullout of Gaza and parts of the West Bank has had no positive impact on peace efforts. {I'm sorry, if Bush and et.al. had asked ANY evangelical Christian, we could have told him.....this is one of those, "well, DUH" moments.} According to Feder, placating thugs will never work. "Ultimately the Palestinians don't want Gaza," he says. "They don't want Ramala. They want Jerusalem; they want Tel Aviv; they want Haifa. Nothing else is going to satisfy them." Innocent blood will continue to be spilled in Israel, Feder insists, because Palestinian leaders like recent White House guest Mahmoud Abbas cannot control the terrorists. {From now on, when you read Mahmoud Abbas include Wolf in Sheep's clothing.....}
