NY PUBLIC SCHOOL MADRSSA: "MUSLIMS DISCOVERED AMERICA"

Yes the principal was an Islamist, yes Almontaser had not the qualifications or background to be a NYC public school principal but Almontaser is symptomatic of the problem. She is not the problem. An islamic public shcool is the problem.  An inaccurative Arab narrative is the problem. Indoctrinating young American minds with propaganda is the problem. The problem is a NY public school madrassa. Want a window into the curriculum which the DOE refuses to share with the public and parents (even though it is scheduled to open in just 16 days - what's to hide?) Listen to my show last week with Pamela Hall of the Stop the Madrassa coalition here and go to STOP THE MADRASSA  here;

"MUSLIMS DISCOVERED AMERICA"

“The Pre-Columbian Presence of Muslim-Africans in America is No Myth!”

[Below are excerpts - the original article is long, but we urge you to read it in entirety.]

“The misguided activist obviously thinks more of his own unlearned opinion than he does of the oral traditions, scholarly writings, and academic research of experts ranging from centuries ago in the ancient world, to the present. The truth is that there is such a constantly growing, extensive body of cultural, archaeological, anthropological, and linguistic evidence of Western and Northern African Muslim pre-Columbian American (and Caribbean) presence, that those who study the evidence and continue to deny the obvious, reveal themselves to be rooted in old, racist, European renditions of American history.

It is one thing to read about towering figures in the ancient Muslim world like Al-Idrisi, Al-Biruni, Al-Mas’udi and many, many others whose contributions laid the foundations of the modern sciences of history, geography, cartography, and sea navigation. It is another to actually study their work. Both Idrisi and Mas’udi wrote of Muslim African trans-Atlantic excursions to the Western world. Al-Idrisi did so around 956 C.E. Al-Mas’udi wrote in the 12th century. These accounts were written centuries before Columbus’ voyages!”

…..

“These references and more all point to what the non-expert activist dismissed as “wish-fulfillment”. On the contrary, ancient Arabic language maps, Native American tribes with African names and words clearly embedded in their languages, statues, diaries, artifacts, etc. destroy European imperialistic notions of history rooted in White Supremacy. One such notion is that African peoples’ history in America begins with slavery. ..These works compliment references in the writings of Christopher Columbus, Balboa, and other European explorers, to those very same Muslim African explorers (specifically The Mandinka -the people of Kunta Kinte, ancestor of Alex Haley, author of Roots, and The Autobiography of Malcolm X) who were already present in the Carribean and North America, before the bearers of the Cross arrived (e.g. Narrative of the Third Voyage, The Voyages of Christopher Columbus, Lionel Cecil Jane).

They were on the moon too. The back side of the moon has a big mosque with nuclear power plants supplying electricity and sending out Islam's message into the universe.

Moslems couldn't discover their collective sphincters with both hands tied behind their backs. While any intelligent person will dismiss these claims as the ridiculous lies they obviously are, we should also note that to many Moslems this will legitimize their claim on making America a Moslem nation and part of a world-wide Islamic Caliphate, since in their twisted minds they believe that they will simply be reclaiming what was once theirs.

To be fair, there is some evidence that Africans may have discovered North America before Europeans. It's just that those Africans in question were the Carthaginians and the discovery would have predated Islam by several hundred years if it in fact happened. This has about as much credence as the Islamic claims to astronomy.

I am sure this propaganda will be well dispersed among those that folow the false prophet and like believing in the false prophet they will beleive this also.

There's been such an emphasis on the teaching of the arabic language (which is a joke since there are so many dialects across muslim-majority inhabited lands). To me, the greater concern has always been the teaching of alternative muslim "history." What? Are we afraid they're going to pull an arafat -- say one thing in English and another in arabic? No, the indocrination of the muslim meme is the goal of priority and the real danger since young children (never mind airheaded adults) will adopt that as a baseline of all understanding about the world. Might I suggest the emphasis on the language is a well-thought-out strategy to divert attention from the more insidious teaching of muslim "history"?

Not surprising, this call to arms in the culture war.

In the 80s an "Afrocentric" history book made a splash, claiming African origins of Greek civilization - "Black Athena"

From Nat Turner to Marcus Garvey to Elijah Muhammad, the tragedy of African-American history has allowed incredibly fantastic mythologies of Black purpose and prowess to come about. This is another one - that this time is fueled by totalitarian Islamic b.s.

Firstly, these Islamists are nuts.

To be completely fair, no one 'discovered' America. It has been inhabited and traveled to by many civilizations for thousands of years before recorded time.

Man, even the KGB during the Cold War days could not come up with shit this nuts that Americans would buy into.....

However, given the fact that there's more than enough left-wing PC nutjobs out there dumb enough to swallow this... this could get some serious mileage in soi-disant "academic" circles.

Horse Crap ! Everyone knows that America was discovered by my Uncle Bernie who was sailing all around the world looking for the perfect Pastrami Sandwich
