		<description>Well, I guess I didn&#039;t see this on here before for some reason. My apologies to Mrs. Malkin and see-dubya.

Just goes to show you that Christianity is the religion of peace, and Islam isn&#039;t. 

Yes, that was a paraphrase of Robert Spencer.</description>

		<description>@ “The American people are slow to wrath, but when their wrath is once kindled it burns like a consuming flame.”

Theodore Roosevelt


I&#039;m not interested in wrath.  I just want America to stand up for itself.  I want for us to tell Muslims that they are not a special case and that if they want to live in this country, they have to follow the same rules as everyone else. And, the penalties for failure to do so should be exactly the same as they would be for anyone else.</description>

		<description>Attacking the news crew might be able to be spindoctored as defensible (how many of us have looked on and wished Bolton, Chaney, or W had physically attacked certain media &quot;personalities&quot; aka moonbats, instead of continue the &quot;interview&quot;)(and it could be plausibly claimed that the school staff somehow believed that the clearly identified TV news media was somehow a physical danger to the students)(with the same skills of keeping a straight face while telling blatant lies that allows them to claim secular school funds while running a militant Muslim indoctrination center)

Taking the camera away is not so defensible. Either the crew was a perceived danger and the police were called to contain that danger while the staff took such minimum actions as were necessary to contain the danger until the police -who would have been already called- arrived at the scene to take control of the situation, or they were attacking for the sake of censoring a marked news crew and taking the equipment away for the express purpose of preventing the creation of an unfavorable story.

And the latter is not supposed to be legal in this country even if it is legal in the countries they devoutly wish to emulate here. 
Given the value of the camera, it should be classified as a felony. Depending on the manner of the confrontation maybe even illegal restraint of the news crew.

If the station does not push for those charges, it will happen again both to them and to other news crews across the country (media tends to get up on their high horse about defending the interpretations of law that allow them the most latitude to do their work, at least before Muslims became involved)

&lt;blockquote&gt;victor_yugo at LGF comments
    Okay, but let&#039;s say the department revokes their charter and orders the school shut down. How will they enforce it? Send in the cops? That won&#039;t go over very well, after the Texas FLDS fiasco.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Two large tools other than a questionable &quot;right&quot; to shut down the school are 1) remove public funding, and 2) remove accreditation.
With the first, it was stated earlier that they did not have enough money to keep running the Islamist indoctrination Center, so without tax dollars, it would either close or get money that would not be available to use in other indoctrination efforts.
Known as win/win.
With the second, the grades and transcripts are not automatically applied or even acknowledged as going towards secondary education. They would have to take, and successfully pass, the same tests a home-schooled kid would. That would make at least &lt;strong&gt;some&lt;/strong&gt; of the scholastic requirements get &lt;strong&gt;some&lt;/strong&gt; attention at the school (reports of Islamic School curriculum indicate a concentration of efforts in learning Islamic beliefs and Arab culture until the last couple of years of the primary school enrollment.)(anything that bites into that time is a good thing)

Not to mention that many employers treat graduation from unaccredited schools as nothing. So the Islamic Center graduate of an unaccredited school is treated the same as a highschool dropout.

We will see how much spine the Minnesota Media and State School systems have.</description>

		<description>Get used to it, the assault has not just begun, it is in full swing. Plato,  or one of them guys said  &quot;Democracy sows the seeds of its own destruction.&quot;  If B.  Hussein O.  is elected, borders will be eliminated and the entire military will be decimated.    He has already said that.    A perfect recipe for your &amp; my grandkids, and maybe my kids.</description>

The Twin Cities is the biggest collection of airheads in the Mid West. The Somalis are running wild here and no one will say anything (except my wife who&#039;s tired of their nonsense). Pretty soon we&#039;ll be banning beef and pork at all public markets so as not to offend anyone.</description>

		<description>This morning, I heard Laura Ingraham&#039;s interview with the Red Star Tribune columnist who tried to expose this school.  Apparently the Demoncrat legislator who supports the madrassa is trying to get the columnist fired!  I guess she can now go after the news crew.

Where is the ACLU indeed.  The MSA opened this school with the thin veil that this is not a religious school per se but a &quot;cultural&quot; one.  If tax dollars can&#039;t directly support a yeshiva or a Catholic school, then tax dollars shouldn&#039;t support a Muslim school either.  But the Muslims are starting to get concessions left and right that other religions don&#039;t get, thanks to the useless idiots who support them.

How about the Isabel &amp; Ferdinand Charter School, Home of the Crusaders, right across the street from the madrassa?  It&#039;s just a cultural institute, mind you...</description>
