Is America's Legal System Islam's Best
Friend
Infiltration of Schools: Another
Tactic of Islamists
By Mark and Renee Taylor
In a society that has spawned government-funded public schools that
either preach or teach “understanding” and “tolerance” for white-washed
versions of Islam, gay marriage, illegal alien amnesty, promiscuous sex,
drug use and more, a teacher at Enloe High School in Wake County, North
Carolina, has been suspended and transferred to another school, even
though his students are protesting that move. His crime? Not the usual
“sex with a student” that has been so prevalent in today’s newscasts.
No, teacher Robert Escamilla invited Christian evangelist, Kamil Soloman,
head of Kamil International Ministries Organization, to speak to his
ninth grade class in February.
The mission of Kamil International Ministries (Kimo4Jesus.org) is as
follows: “Kamil International Ministries Organization is dedicated to
teaching the truth about Islam. We love Muslims but we believe that
Islam is not a Divine faith, Muhammad was not a prophet from God and the
Koran is not the Word of God. Our mission is to raise an awareness of
the danger of Islam among Christians and equip them to share Jesus with
Muslims. We will be glad to impart historical and factual information
about Islam.”
Soloman is no stranger to the dangers that face a Christian bold enough
to stand up to Islam. Having spent time in Egyptian prisons as a “threat
to Islam”, Soloman’s unwavering faith in the teachings of Jesus Christ
gave him the strength to survive torture in Egyptian prisons and, after
being released from prison and exiled from Egypt, Soloman came to the
United States, where he began teaching in churches about the potential
dangers of Islam.
KIMO’s website has many publications which, without apology, compare the
teachings of the Koran against the Bible. Soloman is keenly aware of the
radical Islamist enemy and its threat to Christianity worldwide.
However, it was the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) that
stepped in, forcing the Wake County school district to “punish”
Escamilla.
CAIR, recently named in a federal case as "unindicted co-conspirators"
in a criminal conspiracy to support Hamas, a designated terrorist group,
claims it was alerted to Soloman’s visit by the father of a Muslim
student at the school; he complained about a handout titled, “Do Not
Marry a Muslim Man”, which seems a reasonable conclusion if one is aware
of the treatment of women under Islam (see the film “Submission”).
According to CAIR’s website, the legal director of the Council on
American-Islamic Relations, Arsalan Iftikhar, has written a letter to
Dr. Adelphos Burns, the superintendent of the Wake County Public School
System that read in part:
"It is unconscionable for a teacher at any public school to abuse his or
her position of trust by forcing such hate-filled, inaccurate and
intolerant materials on students. One can only imagine what a Muslim
student in the class might have experienced and how students of other
faiths will now regard their Muslim classmates."
CAIR further demanded an apology to the students and disciplinary action
be taken against the teacher.
In contrast to this scenario, in October, 2004, “multicultural” trainer,
Afeefa Syeed, was brought into government-funded public schools, along
with third, fourth and fifth graders from a local Muslim academy in
Herndon, Virginia, to teach the lessons of Ramadan. According to the
Kansas City Star article on CAIR’s website, Syeed and the children
presented the call to prayer in Arabic, displayed prayer rugs and
offered tastes of dates. In countless other classrooms across the
country, similar efforts were made to educate students about the time of
fasting and spiritual reflection for adherents of the world's
second-largest religion.
What of the Christian or Jewish children in the Herndon (and all other)
schools? Why weren’t their own rituals of fasting or spiritual
reflection taught or compared or contrasted? Why is the teaching of
Islam favored in a government-funded school? And who decides that the
teaching of Islam, as delivered in American schools, is in accordance to
what Muslims themselves are taught by the Koran? Or that it is in
accordance with what is taught in madrassah schools the world over that
graduate millions of Muslim children, steeped in hatred and intolerance,
who believe Islam should conquer the world and that any American is the
devil incarnate? Is that taught in our schools? If schools are really
meant to prepare our kids for the real world, why does any school teach
a white-washed version of something that could be, and most probably is,
an existential threat to our kids and certainly to their way of life?
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the famous Somali refugee (and former Muslim) who
became a Dutch Parliamentarian and was partner to Theo Van Gogh -
murdered by an extremist Islamist - believes that Islam must be reformed
if it is ever to co-exist with modernity. Uncompromising in this view,
she is not at all alone in this belief. Yet it seems to be the agenda of
CAIR to infiltrate American schools with the idea that Islam itself is a
“religion of peace” while at the same time there is heavy debate and
wide disagreement on this, even among Muslims. That doesn’t stop CAIR,
however; they insist on enforcing totalitarian-like rules on others by
remaining determined to silence anyone who questions Islam. Silencing
free speech is not the American way.
Escamilla should not have been suspended nor transferred. He should not
have, in fact, received any punishment at all. By inviting Soloman to
speak to his class, like the administration at the Herndon schools, he
was educating his students to the truths about Islam and Christianity.
Christianity has been reformed; Islam has not. And because of that lack
of reformation, there remain 7th Century Islamist teachings in the Koran
still practiced today, strands of which have reached into the 21st
century and metastasized into a politicized version of a fundamentalist,
or radical, Islam that is fervently practiced today.
One must remember that radical Islam has declared war on the West, and
particularly against America and Americans. No matter how CAIR and other
apologists try to spin it, the reality is the Koran itself teaches that
Islam is not compatible with Christianity and those who do not submit to
Islam are to be subjugated or, ultimately, killed. Until such time as
there is reformation, this is what Muslims are exhorted to believe. In
fact, there has never been a time in history where Muslims and
Christians lived together peacefully and the events at Enloe High School
are just another example of that fact. No, Soloman was not imprisoned
this time for speaking out against Islam; but his free speech rights, in
the land of the free, were utterly trampled and denied him. In our
estimation, CAIR used manipulation and fear, its own brand of terrorism,
to force the school system to break the law and cower to CAIR’s demands.
According to an interview with WRAL, Escamilla stated that he has had
speakers in his classroom of various religions without reprisal. He
further points out that the school has exhibited a double standard with
regard to Christianity and Islam.
Just as homicide bombers terrorize communities in the Middle East and
terror cells plot mass murder in cities worldwide in order to destroy
the Western world, CAIR is using the American legal system and the
government-funded school system to deliver its own brand of free speech
terrorism to subdue that which they find distasteful.
We are being attacked on several fronts in this war; this is only
another tactic used by radical Islam to destroy our way of life.
