Can a caliphate school keep teaching on Virginia’s public land? Congressional candidate voted yes. Update: Take a poll!
It’s a private school that gets its money from Saudi Arabia, so they can teach whatever they want, right? And if they’re not state-supported, they’re free to use Saudi textbooks that teach stuff like this:
The authors of a 12th-grade text on Quranic interpretation state that apostates (those who convert from Islam), adulterers and people who murder Muslims can be permissibly killed.
…More generally, the panel found that the academy textbooks hold the view that the Muslim world was strong when united under a single caliph, the Arabic language and the Sunni creed, and that Muslims have grown weak because of foreign influence and internal divisions.
Well, there’s a wrinkle: it’s a private school, but it’s leasing its land from Fairfax County, Virginia. A month ago Fairfax County’s Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to renew the school’s lease.
I italicized “unanimously” because that means the Chairman of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors must have voted for it, and he’s already on my list. His name is Gerry Connolly and as I noted the other day, he wants to keep Fairfax County a welcoming sanctuary for illegal aliens.
And he’s running for Congress, as a Democrat.
Connolly won his primary on Tuesday, and he’ll face Republican Keith Fimian in the general election. I expect the sterling judgment Connolly showed in approving the lease of public land to Wahhabi High will be an issue in the campaign.

If he gets called on it, Connolly can always try saying “Hey, it could be worse. Look at Britain!”
____________________
UPDATE: LGF links to an MSNBC poll asking whether you think the school should be closed, the textbooks should be amended, or it should be left open because “one way to teach tolerance is to show tolerance”.
Right now common sense is prevailing–in the poll, if not in Northern Virginia–but you can click through and help make it a landslide.

See-Dubya Said:
This is utter insanity.
Actually, it’s liberalism, at least in its modern form.
This is entirely unacceptable, plain and simple.
I doubt that it will come up. If it does this Dem will just twist it and spin it into a republican being against private schools and the MSM will report only that.
A county approved “anti-American” school. Glad I moved from that county. The insanity continues….
since they let this happen, is it un-Christian to hope that the Board of Supervisors are the first ones to get their heads hacked off or bombed before the “youths” (European term for Islamic extremists) come gunning for the rest of us ?
Cue the “Merry Go ‘Round Broke Down” music because America is getting to be a Looney Tunes cartoon.
A month ago Fairfax County’s Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to renew the school’s lease.
Of course it should be okay. How else are we going to destroy the great satan from within?
What it does cause me to wonder about … is how this would impact B. Hussein Obama. If he grew up as a Muslim (as per his book, not my accusation) and “converted” to black liberation theology after he met MO, does that make him an apostate that would be covered under this decree by the religion of peace?
Or perhaps he is viewed as a true muslim who is using the tactics of deceit encouraged by islamic radicals in order to subvert our culture even further and advance the causes of sharia law within our nation’s courts and society?
Far fetched? Just wondering because of what he said in his book and the many claims that he speaks arabic fluently … at least as far as being able to quote verses of the koran.
Ahhhhhh, the points to ponder this election cycle.
It is amazing to me how ignorant many can be. If you are not a muslim, you are an infidel. Infidels deserve to die. The muslim who sends you to hell early, gets bonus points.
Wartip #8: I’ve said all along that Obama is in fact still a Muslim - if he were not, then why is there not a fatwah on his head?
Remember, one of the “approved islamic tactics” is to masquerade as something else in order to win their war.
For those inclined to have a Biblical worldview, this should not be surprising since satan masquerades as an angel of light, so will his servants. (II Cor 11: 14,15)
There’s a high probability it gets worse when Wahhabi High grads receive affirmative action admissions and scholarships to universities, squeezing out better qualified Americans.
Screw diversity.
Why did they do it? I can think of 2 million plus reasons…
The fact that the Republican candidate probably won’t bring it up during the campaign is the most insane part. As long as we keep our mouths zipped and hands tied what else can we expect to happen…?
Republican candidates need to grow a spine and start calling the dems out on this stuff. Until they do, brace yourselves for the downward spiral!
conservativesRus #10:
You are correct on that islamic tactic, but I’d have to disagree on your comment about Obama. It would require quite a vast conspiracy among all muslims to help conceal and protect an Obama muslim identity.
A better theory, imho, is that muslims support Obama simply because he, whether intentionally or ignorantly, would further their cause to strengthen islam’s presence in the West.
A weak leader like Obama would result in more legal attacks against and imprisonment for “islamophobics,” while protecting the rights and special privileges for the muslim minority.
What these “useful idiots”, like this Connolly, fail to see is what is down the road for them if or when the Muslims they enable with votes such as this one come to power.
Either he’s going to convert to Islam, pay the jizyah and live as an untermensch, or he’s going to get his head sliced off.
We’re doomed.
I sure feel sorry for the few legal American citizens unable to flee Fairfax County, VA. You have a potential Congress critter selling you out while giving aid and comfort to illegal invaders and if that isn’t bad enough he is leasing public land to members of the Religion of Pieces. Where the heck is the ACLU clamoring about separation of church and state? Oh! That’s right they only go after Christians and Jews. The Republican candidate has two major talking points that should make it impossible in a just society for Connolly to win this election, but from what I have observed in this country over the last couple decade’s justice is only allowed for those that would betray this country and all it stands for.
Why does none of this cause me any surprise?
This is just another example of letting the enemy into our homes and letting them destroy things from the inside.
This country is being converted to Muslim every day and the lemmings, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, are too blind, stupid or both to see it. You can bet your bottom dollar Barack Hussein Obama will be voted in by thse fools who want “change.”
They’ll get “change”, but not the change they wanted and they’ll rue their votes for the rest of their lives. The sad part is that those of us who will vote against B. Hussein will suffer as well.
see-dub, it’s not just the private schools that are teaching this trash. Public schools are also indoctrinating their students.
Yet another example of white Liberal guilt complex at work. Sell out your country to those who would destroy it. And for what ? I wish puss boys like Connolly would just move to the Middle East and see what totalitarian rule REALLY gets ya. And take our troll/pothead LGM with him. I’m sure these two losers would have lots to talk, no, take that back, BITCH about.
What I found interesting was the WaPos ‘endorsement of Conolly -it strick me as a ‘hold your nose and vote for him’ endorsement. I do not see the Republican candiate as being very strong or visible. Rep. Davis chose a bad time to retire.
And didn’t some Democrats in DC recently vow to kill school choice because they don’t want taxpayer dollars going to private (read: Christian) schools?
Yep. But - given the other thread - it will be interesting to see how Michelle Obama and all the liberal, feminist women out there fair under shari’a law.
Quite frankly, they’ll get exactly what they deserve.
Well we do want only the best Wahhabi High grads to impose the Sharia don’t we? I mean how ugly would it be if we had ignorant Wahhabist imposing Sharia?
And perhaps Gerry Connolly can get 36 or 18 virgins.
Have a nice Jihad
Death to America
Wash your neck one last time
County sponsored suicide…brilliant!
*sigh* But I guess it doesn’t shock me that a Demoncrat running for Congress would be the one behind the scenes letting this insanity happen.
I sure am excited to see all those 12th graders who are learning that it is okay to murder adulterers and those who leave Islam aren’t you? /sarc
Don’t forget homosexuals, Christians, Jews, and other non-Muslims.
It would be interesting to see how these lessons fit within the sex-ed curriculum of most public schools. Something tells me it’ll be haram to teach kids how to put a condom on a banana, or about oral sex…
Indeed, where is Rusty when you need him to shout out about children not learning about sex ed? He should volunteer at that school so they can all be properly educated, that should go over like a ton of bricks (being thrown at him by the students but who’s keeping track).
Can we check and see how many home loans this man has defaulted on. He is running for Congress so that tells you he is already ‘crooked’.
they’re free to use Saudi textbooks that teach stuff like this:
And so is everyone else. MM didn’t say whether they actually use them, or whether it’s just the possibility that has her fuming this morning.
More questions: “that gets its money from Saudi Arabia” — that gets all it’s money from Saudi Arabia i.e. doesn’t charge tuition? Or that has maybe gotten some money sometime in the past?
Think how MM could describe an orthodox Jewish high school that get’s it’s money from the Zionist occupying entity and is free to use textbooks that say that the Torah prescribes death as the punishment for adultery (it does, but Rabbis have been walking back from this for thousands of years). The Jews were a mighty people under King David but because weak because they did what was displeasing to G-d. But a mighty general (Messiah) will unify the Jews again and lead them in a great war that will establish them as the mightiest of nations.
Reading, writing and arithmetic are incrementally being replaced with acceptance, tolerance and other such pc madness. They are not getting their mitts on my little ones.
I would be curious to know if these people have any issues with public land/leases and the boy scouts as they do in Philadelphia
Oh crap, I see the Bong Hit Kid is up and about.
just 1 question.
please compare the amount of honor killings perpetrated in the last…well, i’ll even go long on this…10 years, as compared to stonings by jews on adulterers.
Deciding that a doctrine that is 2000+ years old and doesnt fit with society, law, or really promote anyone to be more morally minded isn’t really backpeddling. The philosophy has changed with the times.
Fundamental Islam, however…yeah, not so much.
I’ll wait for those numbers (and the statement that teaching people its OK to murder others for the sake their religion is something BLATANTLY wrong) from you.
and that’s 15 times.
sorry, was in a hurry to finish.
question is: how do those numbers compare? And how do you think we should address the issue of hate filled books like these?
The Saudi Academy has been there forever, and it schools many very wealthy Arab children. I wonder how much they have given to Connolly’s campaign.
Gerry Connolly is a Boston born and raised liberal who moved to Fairfax County, a very wealthy county thanks to REPUBLICAN leadership during the 1980s.
It is always the same. Republicans build up the County, causing many liberals from the New England to move there. Immigrants from around the world move to take advantage of the economic boom. Then they vote like they always have. . .liberal, which has caused all their problems from they came from.
I live in Fairfax County. The supervisor of my district is Pat Herrity who ran as a conservative Republican. And he voting to renew the lease?! This is craziness.
Please contact him to tell him what you think: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/springfield/bio.htm
I don’t see any Jews stoning people for adultery in this day and age… do you lgm?
I could link you thousands of articles of Muslims stoning people or hanging people or lopping off their heads for: adultery, leaving Islam, being Christian in an Islamic run country, being homosexual, or being a Jew in an Islamic run country.
And Muslims continue to do this on a near daily basis. Your argument was your usual weak attempt at a moral equivalence that isn’t there. It’s an apples to oranges example and you are smart enough to know that but chose to spin it your way so you can pawn this off as an overblown story. Maybe when your being stoned to death for being Jewish and not coverting to Islam you might have a different take on it.
I see abstractmind was on the case well ahead of me
didnt mean to steal your thunder boss, sorry
Hehe, no thunder to steal, just pointing out the obvious like you with lgm’s weak argument.
LGM
project much?
Zionist occupying entity = Israel.. right? and they helped Bush bring down the towers.. Right…..
Point out to any other school that has such free reign with it’s curriculum (go ahead, post it.. I’m sure you can find one and give the .edu website.. ) as a wahabbi high school.
I said before.. you are worse than a pigeon on a statue.. you come in, squat, drop and leave without proving anything.
you prove yourself to be a moron by saying that Karl Rove masterminded the rigging of elections by getting minorities in the getto to vote on a Wednesday instead of the Tuesday..
and to top if off, this was posted by See-W… not MM.. read closer.. no wonder why you ‘teach’ gym rather than English..
lgm, go pound sand.
AlaskanGrizzly and Abstractmind..
thanks for being a faster typist..
I had to re-edit it quite a bit in order for the post NOT to be deleted..
Pieces of America are being carved off…and consumed by the enemies of America.
If I remember my history…I think we had a Civil War a couple years ago….because parts of the country overwhelmingly decided to seceed from the Union and make their own rules… are we going to relive that bitter part of history?? camps.
hehe…well, i’m used to having to dumb it down, because i teach children
pointing out the obvious sometimes is all part of it 
lgm, you are a piece of work and should get your head out of your rear end. Some of the fanatical teachings of this so called religion of peace is so far in the dark ages it is ridiculous and has no place in our society. The question presented to you was how many jews have been stoned for adultery? Why just last month a teenage girl was killed by her brother for being “too western” and prior to that her father beat her repeatedly for not being a good muslim. Do you condone this? sure sounds like it.
Just moved to VA (south of Richmond, not Fairfax) so I had to correct that for you
Say, does anyone have a photo of a troll wearing a burqa ? Ya know what I’m thinkin’…………
Bishop says collapse of Christianity is wrecking British society - and Islam
is filling the void.
It is just a matter of time.
Would we allow a school to seize upon some old testament doctrine like “an eye for an eye” and teach that abortion doctors can be killed because they kill? Even if such a school were entirely supported by foreign money?
Most states have laws against encouraging or inducing others to commit felonies. They should be talking about closing down these schools, not merely evicting them from public land.
Leasing land in America to facilitate the teaching of hatred for America. It doesn’t get much dumber than this.
All we hear from MSM, when Wahhabi schools in SAUDI ARABIA are exposed for what they are is a bunch of OOOOOOSSs and AAAHHHs and HOW TERRIBLEs, Now we have one exposed in this country, and STRANGELY SILENT. Hell we are being MARCHED to the SLAUGHTER and WE are HELPING THEM… Why, soon we may even ELECT a MUSLIM POTUS. MUSLIM you ask??? What MUSLIM??? B. HUSSEIN I say. You heard “there is no such thing as an EX MARINE”. Well there is no such thing as an EX MUSLIM either… Let’s go LEMMINGS, just keep MARCHING….
Gerry Connolly: Scum-bag.
So this school is teaching that B.O. may permissably killed because he is an apostate? Will the ACLU defend such a person if they were to succeed? Should that individual be tried under Sharia Law (obvious to be found not-guilty)?
Were rolling down the slippery slope, where will it end?
Welcome to Beirut ahh I mean the United States where Catholics have to form their own militias to keep our churches from being bombed. Thank you politicians and academics for turning our country into a wasteland while you are fiddliing in Congress about how to split up the pork, oh right, pork is no longer allowed under Sharia law.
There’s no such thing as a true Republican in NoVA. If he or she is a Republican from that part of the state and is holding office as a Republican you can bet they are RINO’s. WaPo backed Conolly because he’s a socialist democrat, however detestable he might be, he’s not a Republican.
I’ve been saying for years that counties south of Fairfax and Prince William ought to secede and form a new state like West Virginia did.
Btw - I wonder if Fairfax would have leased to a Christian school? Most likely not.
I was over ready LFG, where i also at times post comments (much less lately since i’m here alot, but..) and found this on the end of their article:
Hey…at least its only 13% of people who want us to be nice to people who are mandated to kill us. And I’m willing to bet most of them are within a 10 mile radius of Berkley, CA.
RINO or not, I would rather have Tom Davis representing me in Congress than Connolly, which I see happening in November.
Thanks, Abstractmind…I added a link to the poll.
Yep. Nature abhors a vacuum. You eschew Christianity (or God in general) and you’re going to accept (willingly or by force) something else.
Usually far worse.
But, obviously, liberals have no problem with that because, hey, at least it’s not Christianity, right?
That comment reminds me of what my next door neighbor, now deceased, said to me shortly after we moved in: ‘Son, this (Fairfax Co.) is NOT Virginia. You’ve got to go past Fredricksburg for that.’
Voted. Hope they get many more to vote. I’m having a real problem with muslims today (gitmo) and now this.
L
Close it now
Does anyone know anything specific about this school? What is their actual curriculum? Where does their funding come from?
Or is enough just that they’re MOOOSLIM and AERAAAB?
obviously it’s enough for you to take them at their word, lgm..
I have to say that this article has surprised me a bit as I would have thought that phrasing cited by Michelle in her post would not be covered by first amendment protections.
Michelle/See-Dubya can you post more details including excerpts of the passages mentioned?
That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Yeah, they are going to get the books and not use them. That’s pretty funny, LGM, especially since we know if this were a Christian school you’d be fuming at the ACLU to start filing lawsuits.
Face it, the left is too scared of belligerent Muslim men to take them head-on, and that is secularism will take a huge blow this century.
If it was in the past, it wouldn’t be showing up in recent press articles even in your precious MSM.
We all know that you support radical Islam, LGM, but please stop will all the accusations against Mrs. Malkin. She’s doing her job.
Speaking of which, do you even have one of those?
The differences are as follows:
1) Jews don’t want to take over the world or subdue everyone else under Judaism. In fact, converting to Judaism is a chore in and of it self.
2) If you know of a case like this, then by all means share it. Because as far I as can tell, Islam is the only religion where violence is acceptable for it to spread.
Why does the state own this land? If it isn’t going to use if for lawful and necessary governmental purposes, it should sell it and refund the money to the taxpayers. If the school wants it, it can buy it. It’s only a conundrum because the land shouldn’t be controlled by the government in the first place.
LGM,
here ya go buddy.
This is the website of the school itself.
This is what the school teaches, as listed on their website.
I would point out a few things around their site.
First, scroll down the page on the second link. Everything is in a standard print size.
Everything except their informative paragraph about English.
On their “About Us” page, referencing the first paragraph, bolding from me:
do that in any other school and watch the ACLU eat their lunch.
Unfortunately, there’s more, but my time is running out for the day.
You can read the website, read the news article from the AP (linked from the LGF above, and you’re welcome CW), and draw your own conclusion.
Well that was an exercise in futility.
abstractmind (#68). I followed the links you gave & found nothing bad about the school. Certainly nothing about training tots for murderous jihad. I also found this:
The bottom line is that nobody on this list, including MM, knows what’s in the textbooks in this school. If it came from the left, it would be called a hate driven fantasy.
As for orthodox Jewish education, everything I wrote is true. It’s all in Isaiah and Jeremiah. The Messiah is to be a great general who will subjugate the peoples “from the Nile to the Euphrates” (i.e. the known civilized world).
See, I told you so.
Since they teach that people who convert away from Islam are grounds to have them killed…and, since Obama’s father was Moslem, making Obama a Moslem by their law…and, since he left the religion and “converted” by their standards…that means they are teaching the children to kill a Presidental candidate, or even, possibly, a President. So, Fairfax County, you are endorsing teaching children to kill Obama. Nice going. How do you justify that?

Little girly man:
See anything wrong here?
lgm doesn’t respond to facts and investigations. Just his kooky theories and apples to oranges comparisons.
He also doesn’t respond to the tens of thousands of murders we can provide factual evidence for that were committed for the very reasons listed in those 12th grade textbooks.
But they have a disclaimer on their website saying they love everybody so that is enough for lgm and the rest of his ilk.
graysonret said (#72):
This nutball idea was printed in the Op/Ed section of the NYTimes (liberal propaganda?). Muslim scholars from around the world have said that Edwin Litwak doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
atheling said (#73):
Once again I question the accuracy of these reports, given their source and content. The State Department is trying to figure out what text is used in a school just across the river, so instead of picking up the phone or driving down, they make a fact finding trip to Saudi Arabia.
And you would have to know the context: any male child getting an orthodox Jewish education would learn that death is the punishment for adultery. But they also would learn (in a different class, on Talmud) that this is never enforced. If the Bushies were huffing and puffing, they would forget to report the second part.
Of course you do, you’re a consistent liar and spin-master. It goes against your agenda so of course you are going to question this government probe. If it was a government probe into Bush you would be praising it as gold.
The muslims are obviously being taught this is never enforced, I mean it’s not like we have thousands of people being stoned to death or beheaded or hung by Muslims for being gay or Christian or Jewish or leaving Islam. /sarc
Here is the list of books the State Department used in their findings. Read those textbooks for me lgm and let me know if you find the passages in question in those textbooks. kk thx.
Is there anything more obtuse than a leftard like little girly man?
Do you have rocks for brains, lgm?
You are not only a liar, but you are a thief. All liars are thieves, because they steal trust.

lgm,
i read your reply this morning.
You’re comparing a 2000+ year old text…to one thats CURRENTLY in print and is being passed to school children.
Dont you see a distinction?
If orthodox jews were teaching this in modern schools, that as this one are on state owned property, they’d be shut down and condemned by everyone. I dont see this being the case.
BTW, to refute something else you’ve said. Whether or not the man in question knows what he’s talking about or not, apostacy is a crime punishable by death in the Middle East.
Examples:
Here’s one from our own hostess’ site.
How about this?
And here’s another.
I could do this for hours.
So lgm…is this the type of ideology you support?
Surely it is illegal to teach children that it is ok to murder?
Apparently lobotomized girly man thinks so.
Atheling and AKGrizz..
Little girly man , low gray matter, Lobotomized girly man..
you can tackle lgm and hold him outside and tape his eyelids open toward the sky and scream in his ear that the sky is blue.. but he still would doubt you..
DaveC:
Yup, it’s called invincible ignorance.
The Saudis are NOT our friends. This Wahabi madrass should be shut down immediately.
What is wrong with this country when we allow hostile entities to operate within our own borders, call for ‘death to America’ and indoctrinate children for that purpose? You can bet your ass this curriculum is being re-enforced at home. Hello? Department of Homeland Security? FBI? Where the hell are you?
Attention, Hyland and the Islamothugs: This is my country, and I not only refuse to cede it to the likes of you, but I will fight tooth and nail to stop your campaign of Caliphication.
