ANDREW BOSTOM: DIVERSITY PERVERSITY IN NY SCHOOLS WHITEWASHING ISLAM…….

Thanks Andy, this is an eye opener. The lengths that these apologizers for brutal Islam will go to rewrite history is utterly disgusting. Islam conquered all of the formerly Christian lands in the Levant and Maghreb and the under belly of Europe, including most of Spain until they were driven out, by the duel tactic of violent and soft jihad.
The former involved conquering others by the edge of the sword, while the latter involved the use of forced second class existence called dhimmitude. No matter how you slice it, Islam is an ideology that refuses to coexist with other peoples of different religions, peacefully, and as equals. Whenever, wherever Islam is in a dominant position and in ascendency, the agitation already existing between Muslims and “the others” increases.
But lets be clear here, there are those who still claim that the historical record shows Islam coexisting with non-Muslims in Islamic lands, and therefore proof of Islam’s benevolence. The TT on the other hand, points to the dual aims of the Islamic state, which is very much like the Finnish government’s handling of the state monopoly on alcohol. The Finnish state wants to keep the cash cow going, but also desires to control the population’s consumption of alcohol as well, through taxation. 
The Finnish government “allows” the sale of alcohol through outlets it monopolizes, then periodically uses taxation to limit the amount alcoholism. It paradoxically reaps the profits from the selling of alcohol, while trying to manage negative human behavior. It’s a balancing act the government has been doing for decades. 
Islam treats the non-believing dhimmi in much the same way. Though the ideology’s creed demands the faithful to convert the whole world, however, they need non-Muslim communities like a parasite needs a host. They control their dhimmis, allow them to exist, be successful to a point, while using them as a source for income for the state. If the dhimmi community (or an individual) is ever seen to threaten the relationship by rivaling the status of the Muslims, they’ll be dealt with accordingly. Both instances greatly resemble a parasitical symbiosis. KGS

‘Diversity’ Perversity: NY Schools Teaching Whitewashed Islamic History



New York Post report from August 24 by Yoav Gonen highlighted the selective Islamophilia readily apparent in reading extracts from the New York State High School “Global History and Geography” Regents examinations. Subsequently, my colleague Gilbert Sewall of the American Textbook Council kindly provided me with the teachers Rating Guide for these Regents exam sections.
The egregious bias in this exam, and its structured, requisite evaluation by teachers, is transparent and disturbing. Two examples of complementary “Official Historical Documents” which students are required to read and discuss — one pertaining to Islamic Spain, the otherReconquista Christian Spain — along with very specific teacher evaluation guidelines they must satisfy for the best grade, epitomize the naked indoctrination being promoted.
Students are given a so-called “document” containing an extract from a textbook (Daniel Roselle’s A World History: A Cultural Approach) which opens with this broad claim:
Wherever they went, the Moslems brought with them their love of art, beauty, and learning. From about the eighth to the eleventh century, their culture was superior in many ways to that of western Christendom.
They are to be “evaluated,” exclusively, according to the guideline reproduced below:
Award 1 credit (up to a maximum of 2 credits) for each different way Islam improved the lives of people in Spain according to Daniel Roselle.
This information alone makes plain the unacceptable bias in the Regents testing process. Medieval Christian Spain was brutally conquered by waves of jihad wars (pp. 56-60) beginning in the early 8th century, involving massacre, pillage, deportation, and mass enslavement. This included harem slavery for non-Muslim women, and to guard these harems, eunuch slavery — the aptly termed “hideous trade” (pp. 92-93) production of human geldings from enslaved non-Muslim men.
But the approach is ultimately much more sinister: it is nothing less than Islamic proselytizing on the one hand, versus the inculcation of cynicism, if not contempt, for Christianity, and Western Christian civilization on the other.
Muslim “enlightened” rule of Spain in the Medieval era is contrasted starkly by the unmitigated, ghastly depredations wrought by the Spanish Christian imperialist conquerors and their religious minions in South America centuries later.
Witness a complementary putative “document” on the Regents exam entitled “Common Procedures used by Friars in Converting Areas [to Christianity] in Spanish America,” based on Charles Gibson’s Spain in America. The “document” offers only these entirely negative bulleted statements:
• Idols, temples, and other material evidences of paganism destroyed
• Temporary churches built
• Permanent churches and monasteries built
• Christian buildings often constructed on sites of destroyed native temples in order to symbolize and emphasize the substitution of one religion by the other
• Indians supplied construction labor without receiving payment
• In a converted community, services and fiestas were regularly held in the church building
Once again, the students are to be “evaluated” on this basis alone, according to the guideline below which demands they regurgitate a purely destructive “narrative”:
Award 1 credit (up to a maximum of 2 credits) for each different change the friars introduced in Spanish America. Examples: destroying idols/temples; building permanent monasteries; constructing Christian buildings on sites of destroyed native temples; building temporary/permanent churches; holding services/fiestas in church buildings in a converted community; attempting to destroy paganism.
As for Islam’s own actual treatment of pagans, their places of worship, and religious icons during the “8th to 11th century” period about which the Regents “document” falsely claims: “wherever they went, the Moslems brought with them their love of art, beauty, and learning,” consider the following historical account by S.L. Srivastava. He describes one of the pious Muslim jihadist Mahmud of Ghazni’s (Ghazni being modern Afghanistan) nearly 20 bloody and devastating forays into India around present day Gujarat, during 1025 AD (p. 83):
Mahmud captured the place [Somanath] without much difficulty and ordered a general slaughter in which more than 50,000 persons are said to have perished. The idol of Somanath was broken into pieces which were sent to Ghazni, Mecca, and Medina and cast in streets and the staircases of chief mosques to be trodden by the Muslims going there for their prayers.
Adding grave insult to irony, while New York State public secondary school students are being indoctrinated to “appreciate” the moral and cultural superiority of Islamic civilization, Muslim students within the New York City area are being taught the opposite regarding Jews and Christians at Islamic educational centers. Raw Islamic Jew-hatred and anti-Christian statements are featured in these Islamic school curriculaopenly and unapologetically.
