Minn Madrassah Won't Raise American Flag

The imam will not  raise the flag. Back story here. His allegiance is to Allah. Bad dah bing, bad dah boom.

Minnesota Madrassa director "doesn't know how to work the flagpole." No, really, that's what he says!

State law requires the school to fly an American flag during school hours, however no flag flies outside of TIZA Academy. Zaman told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS he didn¢t know how to work the flagpole.

Obama won't pledge allegiance either.

This is a Charter School, so is a public school subject to all the same rules as any other.

During the Clinton Administration, rules were established concerning prayer in school. The intention was to protect Christian prayer. Under the First Amendment, the government cannot establish or block any religion practiced in a non-disruptive manner.

The Madrassah is Islamic, though the director says it is not, that the students just happen to be Muslim and must pray at about 1:30 p.m. everyday.

Why don't Christians and Jews do the same and stand up for their rights?

The claim that the headmaster doesn't know how to operate the flagpole should be reason enough to shutdown the school. It's clear the staff are too damned stupid to be teaching anyone anything.

Mr. Zaman may indeed lack the skills at raising and lowering the flag but I certainly hope that raising and lowering a zipper is also not a skill the poor man hasn't mastered.

The Minnesota taxpayer-funded madrassah is getting some coverage in the msm. But not enough to shut it down. That's what needs to be done, of course.
