Before you get excited, this public school is pushing Islam. Now you are probably not surprised
The assignment was a fill in the blanks style worksheet on the Islamic faith. The question “Fox & Friends” highlighted, and the one the mother was most angered by asked, “Most Muslims’ _ _ _ Than the Average Christian’s.” The correct response to that question read, “Most Muslims’ Faith Is Stronger Than the Average Christian’s.” according to the mom, “My child had to fill in Faith is Stronger, that’s not a fact. It isn’t some kind of … scientific fact they’re teaching my child. This is opinion!”
The school never warned the parents that it would be teaching Islam, especially not in such a biased way; as a fact rather than a general overview of it as one of many world religions.
Other controversial questions on the assignment under the heading of “Peaceful Islam vs. Radical Fundamentalist Islam” include the following:
“Islam, at heart is a peaceful religion.” (Sounds like President Obama on ISIS, doesn’t it?) “These fundamentalists represent a small percentage of the population of Islam, so we must be careful not to label or assume” (Even if so-called moderate Muslims do nothing to resist their fundamentalist brethren.)
“Jihad: a holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty; a personal struggle in devotion to Islam especially involving spiritual discipline.” (Jihad in Arabic means “struggle” or “resisting.”
However, when tied to “holy war,” it becomes controversial even in the Muslim world. According to the Dictionary of Islam[3] and Islamic historian Bernard Lewis, in the large majority of cases jihad has a military meaning … the concept of jihad will always include armed struggle against wrong doers.”) “Nowhere in the Quran does it say you will go to paradise if you martyr yourself with a suicide bomb” (True. It never explicitly says “suicide bomb.” What it does say is that if you martyr yourself in a holy war against the infidels you will go to paradise and receive the 70 virgins.) - See more at: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tianna-dimartino/2014/11/17/fox-friends-high-school-teaches-muslims-faith-stronger-christians#sthash.ncAzGZwi.dpuf
