Maryland students will have to read about Islamic Teachings

FOXNews.com - Report: Maryland Textbooks on Islamic Teachings Dumbed Down - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News


Pretty ridiculous if you ask me. Either religion should be kept out of school, or there should be a class that covers the general DOCTRINE of each religious belief, including the major sects of each religion.

Example....

Christianity:

Roman Catholicism
Eastern Orthodoxy
Protestantism (can be broad)
Mormons (some would argue if they are Christian or not)
Jehova's Witness (see Mormons)

'cultural reorchestration'. I love it. Soon, kids will equate Moe with Santy Clause and thnk 'jihad' is like Christmas.

I hate all this religious bullshit, but the attitude seems to be that Christian propaganda is fine, Islamic isn't. Why is that?

Yes. I see nothing wrong with gaining a comprehensive understanding of all the world's major traditional religions, or throwing them all out of public school, and making religious education an individual Family responsibilty.

It's very sad to see folks who agressively oppose teaching the History of Christianity in Islamic Nations, and Vice Versa in Religiously free nations or predominantly Christian nations.

It's sad because the aggressive opposition only exposes their lack of faith in their own religion. On both sides, their' faith is so fragile, they feel threatened by comprehensive learning.

Is the problem that Islam is being taught or that the textbooks are providing a watered down definition of "Jihad"?

Also, what class is this?
