In this day in America the Left and Secular Humanists will do their utmost to prevent Christian worship, prayer and symbolism out of Public Schools for the oft misperception of the term “Separation of Church and State.” That term is not found in the original U.S. Constitution nor in any Amendment to the Constitution and especially it is not found in the first ten Amendments known as the Bill of Rights.
As you can probably deduce, I highly disagree with the Left’s extreme incursion in Public Schools and Public Institutions. I agree religion should not be promoted as Establishing a State Religion which is the only intent of the First Amendment; however to completely eradicate religion and especially the religion in which America has its heritage from is ridiculous. The Founding Fathers NEVER had any intent of preventing the principles and morals out of publicly funded institutions, they simply objected to establish any particular Christian Denomination as the State Church and they wanted Americans to have the freedom to believe as they see fit whether they were religious or atheistic or what ever.
Now that is my introductory rant on what I think the Left and Secular Humanism has done in attacking the efficacy of Christianity in Public Institutions.
Now let us get to the point. The Left and Secular Humanism is so intent on multiculturalism and anti-Christianity that they dispose of their own concepts of “Separation of Church and State” when it comes to funding a religion in Public Institutions foreign to America’s heritage. This is particularly true of the religiously politically correct moniker of the religion known as Islam (I prefer the 19th century moniker for it is closer to the truth – Mohammedanism).
Mohammedanism is being taught in Public Schools to the extent that students are made to practice Mohammedan rituals in the name of multiculturalism. For example: the observing the Mohammedan religious holy days of Ramadan again under the guise of understanding and accepting another multicultural way of living. I don’t have a problem with understanding another culture, especially the Mohammedan culture. Americans need to understand the nature of how Mohammedanism grew into a significantly large religion and how intolerance forbids the free thought non-Mohammedan beliefs in Mohammedan culture.
HOWEVER teaching students rituals is like promoting its faith. This is the very thing the Left and Secular Humanism does not allow Christianity to do in Public Schools under their belief of the Separation of Church and State.
It gets worse! Now American tax payer money is actually paying for Arabic Culture schools for foreign children of Arabic descent or immigration complete with speaking in Arabic and Mohammedan prayer moments and a curriculum financed by Saudi interests which include the Wahhabi Sunni school of thought which is the radical Islam of Mohammedan terrorists like al Qaeda, the Taliban and Hamas – all listed terrorist organizations by the U.S. State Department.
The most controversial school of this nature is in New York – the Khalil Gibran International Academy (KGIA). Daniel Pipes points out that teaching Arabic culture is a good thing; however the way Arabic curriculum is scheduled to be taught is in a way that glorifies Pan-Arab nationalism or in my interpretation – glorifies Mohammedanism as the supremacist religion of the planet and denigrates other cultures. Alicia Colon writing as a critic of the curriculum that the pro-KGIA people have accused critics of KGIA as being hate mongers and bigots. The pro-KGIA people point especially to Stop The Madrassa as a preeminent hate group however when Colon investigated the website she found nothing comparable to hate. It is a website critical of promoting Mohammedanism and skewing the academic truth on the American dime. In all this Colon wonders, “Where is the ACLU?” After all the ACLU is in the forefront organization keeping Christianity out Public Institutions and Public Schools is high on that ACLU list of persecution. Colon was also astounded that the pro-KGIA people were sending her HATE mail of the deviant quality that made anti-KGIA critics look like saints.
KGIA was so last year; however that Public Institution’s example is beginning to be set up in other parts of America.
The State of Minnesota is now funding the same kind of Arabic Public School and according to an Act For America e-newsletter I received recently may be even on a worse scale than the KGIA.
The Act For America e-newsletter points out that the Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (TIZA) is on the public dime for foreign Mohammedans too poor to attend the private Madrassa school in the same area yet are taught the same anti-American radical Islamic message.
And since I had to check a source, viz. the Stop The Madrassa blog; I have discovered that the blog has posted same article as Act For America did by Katherine Kersten of the Star Tribune (*Registration Required)which links Muslim American Society (MAS) with TIZA. Hello! The MAS has been linked to radical extremist terrorists and Islamists like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Have you heard of Keith Ellison? Ellison would be probably be an unnoticed Congressman in the House of Representatives representing Minnesota’s Fifth Congressional District from a local State Party that is associated with Democratic Party EXCEPT for one thing: Ellison is a Mohammedan with ties to racist intolerant Islamist groups including the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas and the American Black racist group known as the Nation of Islam. (Whew what a sentence, spell check says the grammar is just fine. J)
Ellison’s constituents duly elected him into office with 56% of the electorate favoring him. Nevertheless his associations with dubious enemies of America should place him in a position to be censured and forced out of the House of Representatives.
Will that happen? Undoubtedly the Democrats will not force Ellison out. Ellison’s Democratic Farmer Labor (DFL) Party caucuses with the Democratic Party. Indeed the Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi took Ellison with her on her treasonous visit to Syria.
Would the Republicans force Ellison’s resignation if they were still the Majority Party in the House? I believe it is unlikely due to the opiate of political correctness that has taken over America and more socialistic Western Democracies (yeah that would be the EU). Ruling elites in American government have simply lost their cajones to do what is good for America if it is not politically correct. This is a phenomenon that exists on both sides of the Two-Party aisle in America.
The blog Degree of Madness has patched together a post that should make every American wary of a Keith Ellison type person in the Legislative Branch of American government. Depending on the Committees Ellison serves on, he would have incredible access to classified information that if divulged to his alleged past associations could hamper the War on Terror. (Oh I forgot, the Democrats are beginning to deny there is a global War on Terror – it is all a figment of dead civilian’s minds.)
“In Congress, Keith serves on the Financial Services and Judiciary Committees. The Financial Services Committee provides oversight over the nation’s housing and financial services sector, while the Judiciary Committee oversees the country’s judiciary and legal system.” (Ellison.house.gov)
Friends this is a lot of power for a pal of Islamofascist organizations.
Okay I realize this post might be a little dated, however readers need to be made aware that Mohammedans in America are attempting to set apart the Law of the Land.
The Politically Correct are so concerned about Islamophobic Americans that they are willing to allow Mohammedans to enjoy their intolerant beliefs at the expense of non-Mohammedans. This issue has arisen in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) in which Mohammedan cab drivers refuse service to airport patrons that might violate their beliefs. Apparently a significant amount of cab drivers in the area are Mohammedan.
To uphold the ability of Mohammedans to discriminate against patrons that carry items that are legal is to allow a precedent of Mohammedan Sharia Law to be Superior to American Constitutional Law. This cannot happen!

Help Prevent Shari'a at Twin Cities Airport

We’ve had several posts about the Muslim cab drivers at Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, and their refusal to accept passengers carrying alcohol and blind people with guide dogs, at the urging of the Muslim Brotherhood front group calling itself the Muslim American Society. Daniel Pipes sent out an email to his list on this subject, because the Metropolitan Airports Commission is inviting the public’s input on the matter. The public hearing notice for the Airports Commission is here: Taxicab Ordinance #102: Public Hearing Notice.
And here’s Daniel Pipes’ email on the subject: More on Those Alcohol-shy Minnesota Taxi Drivers.
Dear Reader:
A further decision is due in the controversy over taxi drivers at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport who refuse to transport passengers visibly carrying alcohol. The Metropolitan Airports Commission, which has jurisdiction over the drivers, invites the public’s opinion; and I urge your involvement.
MAC has sent a notice (which I have posted in full on my website) that recounts developments since its decision in October 2006 to deny requests by drivers to distinguish between Shar’i-compliant and –noncompliant taxis. MAC writes:
For the past several months, the Metropolitan Airports Commission has worked with airport taxi industry representatives and with leaders from the Muslim American Society and the Somali Justice Advocacy League. The goal was to find a solution acceptable to everyone and transparent to the customer seeking airport taxi service. Unfortunately, those discussions have not resulted in a workable, voluntary, consensus-based solution. As a result, the Airports Commission is proposing stricter penalties for refusal of service: a 30-day suspension of a driver’s airport taxi license for the first instance, and license revocation for a second instance.
Bravo to MAC. It is important that the drivers be sent a strong signal that they must obey the regulations. Were they allowed to boycott travelers with alcohol, I pointed out in “Don’t Bring That Booze into My Taxi,” that would intrude Islamic law “into a mundane commercial transaction in Minnesota” and could lead to the transport system as a whole being divided “between those Islamically observant and those not so.”
I appealed to readers in October to urge MAC to impose penalties on those who insist on imposing Shar’i norms in Minnesota and to send a message that this practice is unacceptable. The barrage of e-mails and phone calls had the hoped-for effect. According to airport spokesman Patrick Hogan back then, “we’ve heard from Australia and England. It’s really touched a nerve among a lot of people. The backlash, frankly, has been overwhelming. People are overwhelmingly against any kind of cultural accommodation.”
Again now, I appeal to all those opposed to application of the Shari’a in the United States to make their views heard in Minnesota. You can do this in either of two ways.
In writing: MAC is asking for “input from the public” through Friday, March 2, 2007, before it makes a decision on the proposed increase in penalties. Written comments should be addressed to:
