The freedom of faith guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights rests on the Judeo-Christian concept that all individuals have the right to choose and follow any faith, or none at all.

But Islam essentially contradicts this Judeo-Christian principle. All people, it holds, are born Muslim. Converts actually “revert.” By its very nature, this belief denies faith as a personal choice—and minimizes freedom of will. ¹ Learning Islam from a righteous teacher, Muslims avow, compels one to accept the faith, or suffer serious consequences.

Researchers at New York's American Textbook Council issued a report in 2003 alleging that the Orange County-based Council on Islamic Education exists largely to turn public-school textbooks into evangelical tools. Praise from editors at top textbook publishers adorns CIE's website, which also includes downloadable booklets designated for publishers' use. "Strategies and Structures for Presenting World History" draws heavily on Qu'ranic passages, and asserts: "It is Allah who has laid his creation open for observation and study for His glorification. ... Muhammad frequently ended his remarks with the exhortation to those present to convey it to others." Not such a far cry from prayer in the schools, really. Dawa in public schools is what Islam calls the outreach program.

 

If the overarching theme is that Islam has been hijacked by radicals, that is fine- but the bottom line has to be something along the lines of this: we stand ready to help all moderate Muslims to reclaim their religion and place in the world, but our patience is not boundless. Either you fix it, or we will. This mess is not our fault, but we will not stand by, wringing our hands, as it becomes worse.

The battle for hearts and minds is being fought in the United States every bit as aggressively as it is being fought abroad. Our excellent education system and freedom of thought, not to mention stingy school budgets and lack of choice in public education, are being used against us. It is time for "We the People" to TAKE ACTION and reclaim control of what is being taught to our children.
