Nope you quoted a right wing hater with a track record in this field. Its basically a slight variant on the OP. The school authorities have reacted with dignity to this shit and once again, unless you are a nutjob, its a non story.This past December a Virginia school geography class required 9th graders to learn Arabic calligraphy by writing out the Muslim statement of faith, “There is no god but Allah. Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”tilly and others seem to think that the shahada is like a harry potter incantation that will turn everyone muslim if they read it aloud.Yeah....that's not happening.You do a lot of slinking away from threads where you've made a jackass of yourself. You have proved that you are happy for us schools to get children reciting Islams conversion creed under the pretence that has anything to do with history, whilst they basically ignore the bible. They are forcing islam, not Islamic history, on children in public schools, and no matter how much you like that, there are many that don't and it is unconstitutional, as will be demonstrated.
or maybe it's more like a beetlejuice thing...
Students practice calligraphy by writing There is no god but Allah | Fox News
Parents told The Schilling Show that their children were not given the translation of what they were writing.
In other words, there were more than likely a few Christian teenagers in that room who had no idea they were writing, “There is no god but Allah.” But the school district doesn’t seem to think that’s a problem.
“The statement presented as an example of the calligraphy was not translated for students, nor were students asked to translate it, recite it or otherwise adopt or pronounce it as a personal belief,” the district stated.
They said it was all about the art — not about the theology.
“They were simply asked to attempt to artistically render written Arabic in order to understand its artistic complexity,” they stated.

This is a joke. You want to teach art or calligraphy you do not have to use these all important words of Muslim faith to teach it. Especially given how freaked out the secular liberals and ACLU get just hearing the word God or Jesus anywhere! To someone who does not care about God or who is not a Christian, this is no big deal. To someone who knows better, it is a big deal. Hence, the outrage.
Sixteen pages of this thread and you are now further back than where you started from. You have failed to prove anything at all other than your own stupidity.
16 weeks of your presence here and all I can detect from you is a loud mouthed buffoon who provides no evidence to back up all his inane assertions. Rather boring, IOW. I just proved another point in the last post. Just because you are in full denial of the evidence does not change the facts.
