THE HAGUE, 09/04/08 - A primary school in Amsterdam wished to provide its pupils with an understanding for other cultures. But during a visit to a mosque, the children were told they were dogs.

With a view to developing understanding and respect for other cultures among children, primary school De Horizon regularly organises outings to various religious organisations. The chairman of the El Mouchidine mosque told the children from group 7 (aged 10) and their chaperones however that non-Muslims are dogs.

In a letter to the children’s parents, the school expresses its regret at the incident: “We are shocked that during the guided tour, the mosque’s chairman told the children and chaperoning parents that non believers were dogs. We consider this statement as unacceptable since we allow our children to partake in this project to develop respect for freedom of religious choice”.

In the meantime, the school’s management has addressed the mosque on the undesirable behaviour of the chairman. Both parties will say nothing further on the matter. “We will resolve the matter amongst ourselves and I have no inclination whatsoever to discuss the matter with the media”, as newspaper De Telegraaf quoted the school’s spokesperson Mariet ten Berge. “We have been to the mosque before and it always went well”.

Angry parents had sent the letter on to De Telegraaf but were reportedly rapped on the knuckles by the school’s management. “The school wishes to play this down. That is precisely the problem”, as one mother commented.

How can anyone who has been paying attention for the past decade be at all surprised by the words coming from this islamic supremecist mindset. This type of thinking is all too common among moslem “scholars.”

That the school would issue an apology on behalf of the merchants of hate bespeaks an appalling lack of self-respect.

U.S. military commander Gen. David Petraeus reported a slight increase in suicide-vest attacks in Iraq. He said the suicide vests were being handed to women, regarded as being more capable of reaching their targets than car bombs.

Good grief.

Time to take a short break from Primary politics…….

Some time ago at the old Nuke’s News website, n2l posted a piece called Infidelophobia™ In the Words of the koran

This post has been a popular one according to the stat counter, and continues to receive a number of hits each day. As a matter of fact, the old website still outdraws the new one. But that’s a story for another day.

The following comment was posted by an enlightened visitor….I thought I would share it with you…..

listen haterz,I’m a dedicated muslim n i dont believe in this bull. First off,, )-”When you meet your enemies who are polytheists [Christians], invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them … If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah’s help and fight them”,, christianity is a monotheism based religion not polytheism n this is talkin bout ploytheism. we dont spread Islam by the sword. A muslin can sleep at a christians but not eat because they eat pork which is not allowed in Islam n a muslim can eat a jew’s, because they eat kosher, but not sleep at a jew’s because they’re backstabbers according to the past in Islamic n judaism history of war. If u actually take the time 2 interpret the Qu’ran it makes alot of sense n answers all your questions. It’s the only religion that makes sense. next time noe ur history b4 u post anythin like this again

The only thing marriam left off the missive was the understood “or else” ending.

Thanks marriam. You’ve sure cleared up a lot for us.

Update: Martial Law declared

From Yahoo News (AP)-breaking news

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Gen. Pervez Musharraf declared a state of emergency on Saturday, ahead of a crucial Supreme Court ruling on his future as president, thrusting the country deeper into political turmoil as it struggles with spreading Islamic militancy.

The government blocked transmissions of private news channels in several cities and telephone services in the capital, Islamabad, were cut.

Seven Supreme Court judges immediately rejected the emergency, which suspended the current constitution. Police blocked entry to the Supreme Court building and later took the chief justice and other judges away in a convoy, witnesses said.

Opposition leader Benazir Bhutto flew from Dubai on Saturday and was sitting on a plane at Karachi airport, waiting to see if she would be arrested or deported, her spokesman Wajid Hasan said after speaking to the former prime minister by telephone from London.

“The chief of army staff has proclaimed a state of emergency and issued a provisional constitutional order,” a newscaster on state Pakistan TV said, adding that Musharraf would address the nation later Saturday.

I don’t know why anyone should be too concerned about this development, because Pakistan is dominated by Muslims, and Islam is the Religion of Peace™

These developments have NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING to do with Islam.
I’ve told you folks for years now, Islam is a peaceful religion. Anybody who doesn’t know this by now is just a neocon Bushie global warming denier.

You don’t have to believe me…..
Just ask the Islamic Rage Boy.

From MEMRI:

A fatwa issued in August 2007 by the secretary-general of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists in America (AMJA), Dr. Sheikh Salah Al-Sawy, states that marriage between a Muslim woman and a non-Muslim man is forbidden and invalid, and that children born of such a union are illegitimate.

… the fatwa was posted on the website www.islamonline.net

So is marriage a religious sacrament, or is it a function of government? If the latter, can we expect lawsuits from the ACLU?

Yeah, I doubt that, too.

Interesting that the fartwa doesn’t address non-muslm women and muslm men…..
