CAIR-NY URGES SUPPORT FOR NY PUBLIC ARABIC LANGUAGE SCHOOL - (NEW YORK, NY, 8/19/07) –
The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NY) today called upon Muslim New Yorkers and other people of conscience to participate in a peaceful demonstration in support of the Khalil Gibran International Academy (KGIA), an Arabic language school scheduled to open this fall in Brooklyn.
CAIR took time out of its very busy day fighting terror ties to Hamas and unindicted co-conspirator status to stage a pro-madrassa rally last night at NYC Department of Education headquarters downtown at (Boss) Tweed Hall attended by the usual suspects and leftarded Jewicidals.
The Babylonian Talmud (Pesachim 49b) states that Jewish ignoramuses are greater anti-Semites than gentiles. The Zohar (Exodus 7b) declares that in the “end of days,” certain wicked Jews will become the allies of Israel’s enemies. (Prof Eidelberg)
Oh yeah, how they love to trot out that loon Rabbi Feinberg (he is the one screaming at me in this video at a NY anti-CAIR fundraiser back in May.)

Urban Infidel was there. Have a look.
In response to this, Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) said the school's children could be "indoctrinated" and warned in a statement that "establishment of an Arab school is a misguided and dangerous idea." He wrote a letter to Schools Chancellor Joel Klein to protest the school's opening.
He released the following statement:
"[Almontaser] said that 'intifada' means to 'shake off.' We know that 'intifada' means the killing of innocent men, women and children. And now, the sponsors and organizational endorsers of the school advance a boycott of Israel and divestment. Is this what we want taught in our public schools? Is this how we want New York children to be indoctrinated?
"Instead of enriching our students' grasp of diverse cultures, will this school become a morass of polarization and justification of terror tactics? Establishment of an Arab school is a misguided and dangerous idea. I am calling on you, as Chancellor, to abolish this school before it becomes firmly entrenched. At first I embraced the idea (of a school which teaches the Arabic language) albeit, somewhat less than enthusiastically, but nevertheless, I felt the country needed skilled students steeped in Arab language and culture.
"All signs point to this concept as being a precarious mistake, especially with its radical endorsements. Do we want a school to teach its students that Hamas militants are freedom fighters, and that Israel is an apartheid state? This school is ill-advised. It will not, as suggested, be a hope for peace; it is a blueprint for anti-Israel and anti-U.S. extremism. As per their website mideastjustice.org, Adalah-NY 'supports boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel.' The school should not be opened for the September term."
Help fight the Islamization of this nation's public schools with these three initiatives.
UPDATE: I discussed it at length with Robert Spencer on my radio show today. Needless to say he thinks it's a very bad idea. Listen here.
