NYC: Taxpayer-Funded Children's Museum to Hold Muslim Program

"Thousands of years of cultural heritage that has come from the Muslim world." Will the Children's Museum of Manhattan have exhibits on the hundreds of millions of victims of over a millennium of jihadi wars, land appropriations, cultural annihilations and enslavements? Will it have video on the over 18,000 Islamic jihad attacks since 911, each one done with the imprimatur of a Muslim cleric? Will it showcase the ongoing jihad against the Jews and Christians and Hindus and Sikhs?

And "Muslims in America"? I look forward to seeing the profiles of the 9/11 hijackers, explaining how they were motivated to kill by the quran. That could be right next to the study center dedicated to expunging the quran of its violent teachings. There should also be exhibits dedicated to Muslim Major Nidal Malik Hasan, showing how Islam drove him to murder 13 people at Fort Hood and led another Muslim, "moderate" Naser Abdo, to try to imitate him. There should also be exhibits all about Khalid Aldawsari, the jihad murder plotter in Lubbock, Texas; Muhammad Hussain, the jihad bomb plotter in Baltimore; Mohamed Mohamud, the jihad Christmas tree lighting ceremony bomb plotter in Portland; Faisal Shahzad, the failed Times Square jihad car bomber; Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, the Little Rock, Arkansas jihad murderer; Naveed Haq, the cold-blooded jihad killer at the Jewish Community Center in Seattle; Mohammed Reza Taheri-Azar, the jihad attempted murderer in Chapel Hill, North Carolina; Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Christmas balls bomber in the airplane over Detroit; and all the rest.

There could be more exhibits dedicated to the stealth jihad -- to exposing, for example, grifter Gamal, radical Rauf and Daisy the Con, and their sinister and deceptive Ground Zero Mosque project, and all the  Islamic supremacist initiatives to assert Islamic law over American law all over the country.

And it could also explain why security is so tight at synagogues right now.

All this could serve as a warning to non-Muslims to be resolute in defense of freedom against jihad.

But you and I know this exhibit will showcase none of that. Instead, it will be another Hamas-tied CAIR attempt to portray Muslims as the victims of "Islamophobia." At the taxpayers' expense.

Manhattan Children's Museum Gets Funding For "Muslim Worlds" Exhibit WNYC August 11, 2011

Whirling dervishes, mosaics and 1,001 tales will soon be coming to the Upper West Side, thanks to a $40,000 grant from the National Endowment of the Humanities. The Children's Museum of Manhattan says its future exhibition new "Muslim Worlds" is the first show of its kind in the U.S. geared toward a family audience.

The New York City, taxpayer-funded Children's Museum of New York is planning a major exhibition titled, "Muslim Worlds" which is scheduled to begin a long-term engagement in 2014.   

According to information provided by the controversial Council on American-Islamic Relations, "Muslim Worlds" will have hands-on exhibits, performances and other events geared toward getting children involved with the thousands of years of cultural heritage that has come from the Muslim world.

 

Besides hosting individual visitors, the Children's Museum will extend invitations for school groups including those from public schools.

 

Although the museum promises to "bring to life the similarities and differences of Muslim cultures," John Jay College Sociology Professor Mucahit Bilici said that exhibits like this operate on the assumption that Muslim people are separate from American society.

Visitors to the Children's Museum of Manhattan dance as part of a festival celebrating Muslim culture."I would say that the major problem with this project is that it treats Muslims as exclusively external people -- as foreigners," he said. "I'm sure that a significant percentage of their audience, like the kids who will visit that exhibition, will be Muslim. I wish that they would be aware of this and that they would frame it in a much more inclusive way."

Cyrus McGoldrick, the civil rights manager of the New York Council on American Islamic Relations, argues that the exhibit will do good things for the Muslim community. He said a lot of the civil rights violations that he investigates happen to Muslim kids who are mocked by their peers at school.

The Children's Museum of Manhattan says its future exhibition new "Muslim Worlds" is the first show of its kind in the U.S. geared toward a family audience.

But many detractors believe this is an example of liberal-left hypocrisy.

"Imagine a group of Methodists or Anabaptists holding an exhibition in a government-funded facility? Does anyone believe the politicians and the ACLU would allow such a show to be held in a city-financed facility with audiences being brought in by public school teachers? How long would that last?" asks political strategist and consultant Mike Baker.

"Tolerance is one thing," says former NYPD Officer Edie Aquina, "but why are we bending over backwards for the sake of political correctness. This group CAIR, for example, has repeatedly attacked the NYPD for trying to protect New Yorkers and Americans from radical Islamic terrorists. Will this Muslim World exhibition feature the role of Islam in the slaughter of 3,000 people on 9-11? Or the hate speech directed at Jews?"

Contact the Children's Museum of Manhattan here. Politely ask them to drop this program or at very least make it balanced by bringing in Copts, Pakistani Christians, South Sudanese, and other victims of jihad.
