OUTRAGE: School Kids in Texas Forced To Learn About Islam From CAIR
This via WND:
Public school students at Friendswood Junior High in the Houston area have been roped into Islamic training by representatives from the Council on American-Islamic Relations during class time…
Parents were never notified and only found out from their kids after the fact. The principal unilaterally decided that children in Friendswood need to learn about Islam from an organization that the FBI named as co-conspirators in a recent terrorism trial.
The parent reported the presentation was 30 to 40 minutes long and handled by two Muslim women from CAIR’s Houston office. CAIR, as WND has reported, is spinoff of the defunct Islamic Association for Palestine, launched by Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook and former university professor Sami al-Arian, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to provide services to Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
Kids were forced to learn the “five pillars of Islam”, how to pray 5 times a day, and of course the most important lesson of all, “There is one God, his name is Allah”.
It is beyond belief that Principal Robin Lowe, would allow two thugs from CAIR on school grounds to brainwash kids about Islam.
I find this entire episode particularly offensive since it took place in my town, only a few blocks from my home. I’m told that parents are organizing as we speak to hold protests, and I hope we can all come together to see this broad fired.

Could it be that the principle honestly did not know that the CAIR was a suspect group? The name sounds harmless enough, so perhaps the principle did not think anything of it.
I have no objection to learning about basic Muslim beliefs, and in fact when I was in Catholic school we also learned the 5 pillars of Islam, as well as many other details about Islam. I am doubting that the children were being catechized or evangelized in any way, as I can’t imagine that many teachers or prinicples in this country would even consider that.
in a day and age where you can’t have a Christmas Tree in a public classroom because it might offend a person of a non Christian faith,no student should be forced to attend an assembly where any religion is discussed,unless all religions are included. Just imagine the outrage that would have erupted if Baptist,or a Jew,or any other religion asked for time to have a captive audience of children to discuss their faith…
Carl,
Your absolutely right. Notice the stony silence from the ACLU on this whole thing.
If two pastors would have come to this school to teach the kids about Jesus, the ACLU would be trying to close down the school.
But since it wasn’t Christianity being discussed it’s okay with them.
WorldNutDaily. Clearly a bastion of credibility.
When you can’t argue against the article, argue against the source. Clearly a bastion of credibility.
Uh huh.
Kids are more apt to believe something when it’s presented in this type of format, i.e. a live presentation. This is ‘like’ preaching to them…
Folks, first of all, if you are going to be taken seriously please learn to spell the word “principal” correctly. Secondly, this principal is one of the best in her field and FJH, its students and the town have lost a great deal with her departure.
I also, am a long-time Friendswood resident and Ms. Lowe was my boss for two years. I count myself lucky to have had her guidance and wish her luck at her new position in HISD.
Lowe was a failed leader and FISD is much better off without her. If we wanted radical Muslims from CAIR talking to our kids we would have said so.
