Islamic textbooks instruct students to teach gays a lesson

Concerned with America’s public school system?

When your six-year-old brings home a textbook that specifies “hellfire” as the only correct response to the question “What happens to someone who does not believe in Islam?,” then you’ll know it’s gotten to the extreme level of Muslim weekend schools in England.

Pink News reports that according to a BBC Panorama investigation being screened tonight, a network of over 40 Islamic schools under the Saudi Students Clubs and Schools in the UK and Ireland are not only teaching homophobic and anti-Semitic views– they’re teaching the 5,000 enrolled students how to punish Jewish and gay “offenders.”

Sharia law classes for children follow Saudi textbooks that say “Zionists” are scheming to dominate the world, that convicted thieves should have their hands and feet cut off (complete with diagrams and descriptions of the procedure), and that the penalty for gay sex is execution, Pink News states.

2. Instructions on how to cut off hands and feet? Bush called it the religion of peace.

3. I've had freepers describe delight over those sorts of punishments

You'd be surprised at the number of Americans who think mutilation is a perfectly OK punishment for crime.

And I'd bet LOTS of christian schools teach that anyone not personally saved by Jesus faces eternal hellfire.

4. do those Christian schools offer different ways to kill gays?

5. Religious freedom! Religious freedom!

We must foster it in all ways as it is anti-American to not support all constitutional rights.

6. OK, we only meet 2 of the 3 criteria for gratuitous cruelty

I guess we are safe for now

(BTW, I *do* know that Dominionists of the Chalcedon Foundation type specify exactly how homosexuals are to be dispatched - by stoning to death as mandated by the Old Testament. So yes, there are significant, well financed, and influential groups that go that far)
