Panel Finds Saudi-Run School In Virginia Promoting Violent Jihad
How many more of these types of illegal schools, like this one we told you about before, are operating in the United States?
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom is singling out a Saudi-run school in northern Virginia for teaching its students Islamic supremacism.
The bipartisan commission, which obtained copies of the Islamic Saudi Academy’s textbooks from a congressional office and other private sources after the State Department’s refusal to hand them over, released a summary of its findings yesterday. The move comes ahead of a deadline next month, agreed on by America and Saudi Arabia, for the school to revise its textbooks and delete references that “disparage Muslims or non-Muslims or that promote hatred toward other religions or religious groups.”
According to the commission’s report, however, the textbooks the academy is using this school year are exhorting Muslims to violence.
“The most problematic texts involve passages that are not directly from the Koran but rather contain the Saudi government’s particular interpretation of Koranic and other Islamic texts,” the report says.
Some examples cited include a 12th-grade textbook in Koranic interpretation that says it is “permissible to kill an apostate, an adulterer or someone who has murdered a believer intentionally.”
Such beliefs are hallmarks of the Salafi strain of Sunni Islam, which is Saudi Arabia’s state religion. The religious interpretation that says it is permissible to steal from or kill apostates is part of the philosophy of Takfir, which distinguishes between true believers and non-believers and permits the believer to violate domestic laws in order to defend the faith.
The textbooks in the 900-student, K-12 academy also contain bigotry against other religious faiths, the commission says. A textbook on administrative and social sciences, for example, says: “The cause of the discord: The Jews conspired against Islam and its people. A sly, wicked person who sinfully and deceitfully professed Islam infiltrated” the Muslims. The same textbook urges Sunni Muslims to shun Shiite Muslims.
A textbook on “Aspects of Muslim Political and Cultural History” has this to say about the Baha’i faith: “It is one of the destructive esoteric sects in the modern age. … It has become clear that Babism [the precursor to Baha’ism], Baha’ism, and Qadyanism [Ahmadism] represent wayward forces inside the Islamic world that seek to strike it from within and weaken it.”
The commission also says that when its members visited Saudi Arabia in 2007, the kingdom refused to make any of its textbooks available. Although the commission notes that Saudi Arabia’s textbooks have improved somewhat, it says far more needs to be done.
The commission has been clashing with the Islamic Saudi Academy, whose two campuses are owned or leased by the Saudi Embassy in Washington, for nearly a year.
Academy spokesmen have said in the past that they have complied with requests to revise their textbooks. But the commission says: “The books reviewed by the Commission in the winter of 2007-2008 show evidence of truncation, omission, cutting and pasting, and the use of correction tape or fluid to cover over text — but not sufficient revision to remove all objectionable material, as evidenced by the passages cited above. They appear to be Saudi Ministry of Education textbooks, with some alterations but with identical wording in many sections of the texts.”

June 12th, 2008 at 9:46 amHow is it that having a Bible study, saying a prayer or having a 10 Commandments plak is “unlawful” in most public schools, because it “promotes a religion”, and yet these Muslims can run a school committed to teaching violence and death in the name of their religion?? And apparently (from this article) the state department is complicit in trying to obstruct an investigation of the school?
This is turning into a very, very, bad news day for the right side of this country
June 12th, 2008 at 10:06 amAnd by the way, WTF is with the sparkly animated Muslima.com ad on this page
June 12th, 2008 at 10:07 amAs I understand it, these ads are placed by Google and not this blog site. Google is at fault here.
As per the article, get these freaks out of my country. They are not here for the American experience, they are here to harm us as time goes on. Why are we allowing this? An enemy is an enemy wherever they may be. Enemies are to be defeated. Get these people and their hosed up belief system out of my country!
June 12th, 2008 at 10:12 amYeah, I know Pat would never place an ad like that here. I already emailed him about this ad when I found it previously, and he told me that it is out of his control.
It has just become more animated and attractive to the eye since it first appeared here - just like the pukes are saying “in your face”. Seems like they are sneaking in everywhere…
June 12th, 2008 at 10:33 amThe Saudis are not our friends . They are basically accommodating to us in order to get what they want. These schools should be closed and the people running them imprisoned or deported for sedition. Stop this insanity… Wake up America.
Stop allowing these schools to be opened . Stop allowing the Saudis to own any property in the USA…
June 12th, 2008 at 11:04 amThis is the same jihadi factory that produced Ahmed Omar Abu Ali who was convicted of providing material support to AQ and plotting to wack Dubyah. This school has been propagating Wahhabi hate propaganda for eons, and the spineless dhimmi scum in Northern Virginiastan have just been letting them get way with it instead of shutting their asses down.

Owned and leased by the Saudi Embassy in Washington. I read that a certain percentage of Saudi Arabia’s oil revenue goes toward propagating Islam world wide. No wonder oil prices have increased.
June 23rd, 2008 at 4:54 pm…I repeat: No wonder oil prices are going up. Not enough schools in the U.S. are teaching Sharia law yet.
Bash Editorial INPUT…I have been following you around the boards, are you not paying attention? The ads are randomly generated by Google or Blogads based on the keywords of the topic of that pages post. If its about islam, then whatever FUCKING Islamic ad Google or Blogads has up the BOT (aka MACHINE) sticks it in there.
How fucking ignorant are you?
And to say Sharia law should be taught at all in America is to say “Fuck You” to Americans.
Get the fuck out of my site you ignorant monkey ass piece of shit.
You’re banned…aloha, bitch.
Have a ham fucking sandwich.
Speaking of Sharia law, there’s something fishy with the Muslima.com ad. Muslim women aren’t allowed to marry non-Muslim men or they can be “legally” killed. Who’s funding the ad? Are they trying to convert American men to Islam? What do they do with subscribers’ names and addresses?
