NO!! You Don't Say!?!?!?!

It's gobschmacked I am. Shock and awe.

Report: Troubling texts at Va. Islamic school

The books say it’s OK for Muslims to kill adulterers and converts

McLEAN, Va. - Textbooks at a private Islamic school in northern Virginia teach students that it is permissible for Muslims to kill adulterers and converts from Islam, according to a federal investigation released Wednesday.

Other passages in the school's textbooks state that "the Jews conspired against Islam and its people" and that Muslims are permitted to take the lives and property of those deemed "polytheists."

The passages were found in selected textbooks used during the 2007-08 school year by the Islamic Saudi Academy, which teaches 900 students in grades K-12 at two campuses in Alexandria and Fairfax and receives much of its funding from the Saudi government.

...The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, a panel formed by Congress, last year recommended that the school be closed amid concerns that it promotes violence and too closely mimics the conservative Saudi educational system.


I mean, get the f*ck out, even! The ingratitude of it all.

We need more understanding, subterfuge, submission, repression, virgins, burquas and bombers to go with that oily, ignorant bunch of seventh century misogynists. Imagine all the gas we'll conserve if we go to their schools HERE. Think green!!

"that it is permissible for Muslims to kill adulterers and converts from Islam,"

I hope Obama, for his sake, is paying close attention.

900 students? I think that's more than twice the size of the current student body at the little Roman Catholic college I went to *practically next door*--there goes the neighborhood.

Make no mistake: The Saudis are waging holy war on our own soil, in their own nefarious way, from within. And we are stupid, stupid, stupid, and suicidal to let it continue.
