Texas Teaching 'Allah is the Almighty God' - CSCOPE Cirriculum Must be Stopped

Texas Teaching 'Allah is the Almighty God'

In the 70 percent of Texas public schools where a private curriculum has been installed, students are learning the “fact” that “Allah is the Almighty God,” charge critics of a new online curriculum that already is facing condemnation for its secrecy and restrictions on oversight.
The program, called CSCOPE, is a private venture operating under the umbrella of the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative, whose incorporation documents state its independence from the State Board of Education of the Texas Education Agency.
Other reports previously have raised alarm over the curriculum’s depiction of the Boston Tea Party as a terrorist act on par with the 9/11 attack.
According to documentation that has leaked out, the program describes the Boston Tea Party this way: “A local militia, believed to be a terrorist organization, attacked the property of private citizens today at our nation’s busiest port. Although no one was injured in the attack, a large quantity of merchandise, considered to be valuable to its owners and loathsome to the perpetrators, was destroyed. The terrorists, dressed in disguise and apparently intoxicated, were able to escape into the night with the help of local citizens who harbor these fugitives and conceal their identities from the authorities. It is believed that the terrorist attack was a response to the policies enacted by the occupying country’s government. Even stronger policies are anticipated by the local citizens.”
There also have been reports that the curriculum – contrary to recent Supreme Court rulings – says the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the right to bear arms, is limited to state-run organizations.
“The collective right’s advocates believed that the Second Amendment did not apply to individuals; rather it recognized the right of a state to arm its militia. It recognized limited individual rights only when it was exercised by members of a functioning, organized militia while actively participating in the militia’s activities.”
Now come concerns about what critics describe as a definitively pro-Islam bias.
The critics say the studies border on proselytizing.
In one scenario, students are asked to study the tenets of Islam, and critics say the materials provided exceed impartial review of another faith, extending into requirements of conversion and moral imperatives.
A computer presentation utilized as part of a study of Islam includes information on how to convert, as well as verses denigrating other faiths.
According to excerpts, under the heading, “Who Is Allah?,” students are told:
“Allah is the Almighty God.”
“Allah alone is the Creator. He alone deserves our devout love and worship.”
Muhammad is described as having become “disillusioned with the corruption in the city and the growing gap between the urban dwellers and the Bedouins (nomadic herders).”
But there is no mention of his documented sex activities with a child or his penchant for beheading entire indigenous people groups.
CSCOPE’s geography curriculum also is being scrutinized.
A high school question on a geography test asks, “Which of the following has been a benefit of globalization?” Possible answers are as follows: a) pandemics, b) increased standard of living, c) loss of local culture, and finally, d) widespread environmental impacts.
The only “correct” answer accepted in the context of the test is “an increased standard of living.”
WND recently reported the Texas State Board of Education was hearing concerns expressed by parents.
The debate carries national significance because of the influence Texas has on textbook and curriculum publishers as the only state that adopts uniform standards.
CSCOPE advocates say that the volume of information to which students now have access outside the classroom necessitates the move away from textbooks.
“If they’re sitting in a classroom with a textbook, that’s not the world anymore,” said Anne Poplin, Education Service Center Region 9 executive director.
“We’re moving to Bring Your Own Devices. It’s a disadvantage (for children) not to have access to their devices. It’s not a textbook-driven environment. If it is, they’re behind,” Poplin said.
An estimated 70 percent of Texas schools already are involved in the program.
But one of the concerns is that state law requires textbooks to be reviewed by the board of education, and parents are allowed to have access, since CSCOPE is considered a private venture it operates independently of state or local school board oversight.
The state attorney general’s office has ruled that CSCOPE is a government organization subject to requirements of transparency, but because of loopholes in the Texas Public Information Act and Senate Bill 6, passed in 2011, CSCOPE has thus far been able to keep its content from public review. Even parents are denied access.
Kimberly Thomas, a teacher in the Lubbock school district, calls CSCOPE a “joke,” identifying a ninth-grade lesson that asks students

The U.S. Must STOP Sending Money to Egypt and Libya IMMEDIATELY

Following yesterday's 9/11 anniversary Muslim Terrorist attacks on American Embassies in Egypt, the U.S. must immediately stop sending our American Tax Dollars to these countries, and ALL other countries who support terrorist.

Heck, we probably GAVE Libya the WEAPONS that KILLED OUR AMERICANS over there!

We cannot even pay for our own countries activities. Why are we funding these American Hating Country's activities?

Obama has been called out already for sympathizing with these murderers so I will not hold my breath waiting to see if he will do the right thing and stop sending OUR money to these countries.

Several Conservative Lawmakers have come out already demanding that these countries be stripped of funding immediately, Hopefully this picks up steam.

Obama Sympathizes With Muslim Murderers Who Attacked U.S. Embassy in Libya on 9/11 - Romney Condemns

President Obama has disgraced the office of the Presidency. His sympathetic reaction to the Muslims attacking our embassies and also his non-action to immediately secure and protect the embassies and demand justice are a slap in the face to all Americans on the anniversary of September 11, 2001. Did I also mention that we helped and supported these countries attain freedom from dictators? They hate us, why should we help them and send them money? Why should we remove one dictator just to replace him with terrorist Muslims who hate America?

On the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorists attacks, Muslims in Egypt and Libya attacked our U.S. Embassies killing 4 Americans, including U.S. Ambassador to Libya, John Christopher Stevens, who was killed in the Benghazi Libya attack. These Muslims were mad that Americans have freedom of speech and one American made a video trying to disprove Allah and Muhammad. This video hurt their feelings so the Muslims killed Americans.

In response, Mitt Romney strongly condemned the attacks with no strings attached or justification given for the attacks.

Obama though, when he said that the murders were wrong, seemed to sympathize with the Muslim terrorists and also justify their actions by going beyond just condemning the murders and also stating that it was also wrong to talk bad about the Muslim religion. Obama's U.S. Embassy even went as far as to CONDEMN Americans for instigating the attack by talking back about the Muslim religion.

First of all, Obama disrespected our constitutional right to freedom of speech. Second, he seemed to make it seem that he understood and sympathized with the Muslim murders because, well, the Muslims only murdered because they got their feelings hurt. I suppose Obama thinks that we should not have the freedom of speech if it hurts someone's feelings. Third, these are murderers! We should strongly condemn them and swiftly act to stop them and bring them to justice and let them know that this is not tolerated. Fourth, Obama is being hypocritical and favoring the Muslim religion. Obama says it is not nice to talk bad about the Muslim religion but Obama and his Democrat Party disrespect Christianity ALL the time. Also, these Muslims don't want to hear bad stuff about Allah of Muhammad but they turn around and talk trash about and disrespect Christianity. Why hasn't Obama condemned Muslims or Democrats using speech to talk bad about Christianity? It is a hypocritical double standard. This flawed ideology is spreading to America too. Atheists and Liberals are constantly complaining and filing lawsuits against Christians because the Atheists and liberals have hurt feelings over Christian businesses or Historical symbols like the 9/11 memorial cross left standing after the 9/11 terrorist attacks (which the atheists want torn down).


According to The Blaze, this is how the U.S. Embassy in Cairo Egypt responded:

How did the U.S. embassy respond? By apologizing to the rioters for hurting “their religious feelings“:

"The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims — as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others"

According to WSJ, Mitt Romney has made this Statement about the Attacks:

"America will not tolerate attacks against our citizens and against our embassies. We'll defend, also, our constitutional rights of speech and assembly and religion.'' "Apology for America's values is never the right course."


According to JSBRADIO, this was the Statement from President Barack Obama that has made so many people mad:

"I have directed my Administration to provide all necessary resources to support the security of our personnel in Libya, and to increase security at our diplomatic posts around the globe. While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants."

Is New York Times Protecting Muslim Terrorists & Vilifying Christians, Conservatives?

If a Muslim/Islamist terrorist commits, or plans to commit, an act of terror, you can count on the New York Times, and other liberal media outlets, to seemingly cover-up the fact that the terrorist is a Muslim. On the other hand, these same media outlets have no problem bashing Christians and Conservatives, even trying to link Christianity and the Tea Party to terrorism. This is not a single incident. I have noticed this shocking pattern over years of reports coming from these media outlets like the New York Times and even some Texas Newspapers like the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Even President Obama’s Administration has tried to protect Muslims from getting a bad name when they commit acts of terror.

See the following News Articles Below as Proof of this Pattern of Bias:

New York Times Headline: “Army Doctor Held in Ft. Hood Rampage” No mention of Nidal Hasan being a Muslim and yelling Allah before he started shooting… http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/06/us/06forthood.html

New York Times Headline: “Nigerian Indicted in Terrorist Plot” The underwear bomber is simply a Nigerian and not a Muslim terrorist… http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/07/us/07indict.html

New York Times Headline: “From Suburban Father to a Terrorist Suspect” This article is about the Times Square bomber who is a Muslim terrorist. There is no suspect at first. When a suspect is found, the headline refers to him as a "suburban father…” http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/05/nyregion/05profile.html?adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1311720053-Xt4EIYfc+Fd5DqCD/4sYtA

New York Times Headline: “Soldier Arrested in Suspected Bomb Plot Had Series of Disputes With Army” Yep, apparently this Muslim Terrorist who was going to detonate a bomb outside of Fort Hood, TX only had a dispute with the Army. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/30/us/30awol.html?scp=1&sq=Naser%20Abdo&st=cse

Fort Worth Star-Telegram Headline: “Arlington Woman Sentenced to 10 Years in Federal Prison” So two Muslims are caught with bombs in Texas and are convicted and sentenced to prison, but the Fort Worth Star-Telegram makes no mention of them being Muslims. They only label the woman involved as an “Arlington Woman.” http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/09/texas-arlington-woman-sentenced-to-10-years-for-car-chase-pipe-bombs.html

Fort Worth Star-Telegram, in a 9/11 Editorial, called the 19 Islamic Jihadists who attacked America “19 Sinister Men.” Yep, they didn’t attack America because they were Islamic Jihadists. They did it because they were Sinister Men… http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/09/texas-arlington-woman-sentenced-to-10-years-for-car-chase-pipe-bombs.html

New York Times Columnist Has to Apologize for Comparing Tea Party Members to Terrorists – Yep, The Tea Party Rallies are always peaceful and have never created violence, but this New York Times Columnist compared the Tea Party to Terrorists… http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/06/opinion/the-tea-party-take-two.html?ref=joenocera

New York Times Headline: "As Horrors Emerge, Norway Charges Christian Extremist" http://www.nytimes.com/images/2011/07/24/nytfrontpage/scan.jpg

 

The New York Times does not like to let people know when a terrorist is a Muslim, but they had no problem labeling the lone, nutjob gunman, Anders Breivik, in the Norway massacre as a “Christian Extremist” even though he was not a Christian at all!

He actually denies being an actual Christian. Breivik stated in his Manifesto that "myself and many more like me do not necessarily have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God." He also stated in his Manifesto that "I'm not going to pretend I'm a very religious person as that would be a lie. I've always been very pragmatic and influenced by my secular surroundings and environment.”

The fact is, Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik's is not Christian but anti-Islam. His ideology is fuelled by a loathing of Muslims and 'Marxists', his writing spurred by conspiracy theories. He quotes all different people from different political spectrums. He even quotes Thomas Jefferson!

He was not a Christian but the New York Times was quick to label him as one on their front page before they even knew anything about him.

This is similar to when the New York Times Incorrectly Said that the Shooter in the US Rep Giffords Arizona Shooting, Jared Loughner, was Inspired by the Peaceful Republican Tea Party Movement, when in fact he was just a random, crazy nutjob, certainly not acting in the name of Jesus or the Conservative Republican Movement. He was actually found to be aligned more with the left-wing than the right-wing and he liked the Communist Manifesto.

Did Breivik or Loughner yell Jesus before they started shooting? I think not!

 

New York Times Editor Equates Christian Faith with Belief in Space Aliens - I would like the New York Times to compare the Muslim Faith to believing in Aliens.

The New York Times was Forced to Issue a Correction about the Lie the Told on Conservative Brandon Darby – Yep, the New York Times says Conservative Hero, Brandon Darby, was the one who encouraged a leftist terror plot to bomb the 2008 Republican National Convention. Darby had actually been working with the FBI and stopped the terror plot. Darby sued. The New York Times had to “correct their article” and remove the lie about Darby having encouraged the bomb plot. http://bigjournalism.com/retracto/2011/03/16/update-after-getting-sued-new-york-times-finally-issues-correction-on-brandon-darby-article/

Lawmakers Blast Obama Administration for Calling Fort Hood Massacre 'Workplace Violence' - That’s right, the Fort Hood Shooting had nothing to do with a Muslim who wanted to kill American’s. It had nothing to do with the government’s political correctness that prevented this M from getting fired even though the government was warned of this Doctor’s Muslim Extremism. According to the Obama Administration, this was just a simple case of “workplace violence.” http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/12/06/military-growing-terrorist-target-lawmakers-warn/?test=latestnews#ixzz1ftWoQVaQ

2011: NFL & SNL Criticize Tebow Christianity - 2010: NFL & Obama Support Abdullah’s Muslim Fasting & Faith

2011: Tim Tebow, Quarterback for the Denver Broncos, has been greatly criticized and even mocked by NFL players and the Media/SNL for openly practicing his Christian faith.

2010: Two Muslim NFL players, Husain Abdullah and Hamza Abdullah, do not eat or drink for a month during the daylight on NFL practice and game days, and they take time out in the day to pray. Obama Invites these Muslim players to the White House, players and coaches support their fasting. One coach even fasted with them for a couple of days. SNL doesn’t dare criticize them or the Muslim faith and the Media has highlights their actions in a positive light.

NFL & SNL Allows Mocking and Criticism of Christianity but Would Never Allow Mocking of Muslim Faith

Tim Tebow has been one of the most sensational NFL players this season. He has won several games with last minute heroics. Tebow can sometimes be seen kneeling down on the sideline of a game to say a prayer. This has been called “Tebowing.” Although Tebow publically practices his faith and praises God, he is very humble and has never stated that God is on his side is the reason why the Broncos are winning. Tebow works hard in practice and in games to try to help his team win. Recently, Detroit Lions player Tony Scheffler and Stephen Tulluch kneeled in a game against the Broncos, clearly to mock the prayer that Tebow does. Former Broncos Quarterback Jake Plummer publically stated that he does not like that Tebow publically practices his faith. Saturday Night Live (SNL) recently did a show mocking Christianity and, specifically, Tim Tebow’s public expression of faith. SNL’s skit depicted a fake Jesus telling Tebow to stop openly practicing his faith and to read a football playbook instead of just relying on God to win games for him.

Muslim NFL players, Husain Abdullah and Hamza Abdullah, observe Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting and prayer, every year. They will not eat or drink at all during daylight hours for the entire month of Ramadan. This includes no drinking water during practices and games. Husain Abdullah openly says that Allah is always first before the NFL. He even says that Allah is his nourishment during the day when he does not eat or drink, and also that fasting helped him play better to get drafted. The NFL coaches and players went out of their way to support and encourage these two Muslims openly practicing their faith. The Minnesota Vikings had Husain Abdullah work with the team's nutritionist on a meal and hydration plan. Hamza Abdullah openly encouraged teammates, trainers and coaches to fast with him. Some players agreed to only drink water, and even head athletic trainer Eric Sugarman agreed to fast for a day or two. While Hamza was fasting, Cardinals cornerback Michael Adams told him that he seems like he is really at peace. The Abdullah brothers were even invited to Obama’s Iftar dinner at the White House to celebrate the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Double Standard – Attack on Christianity but Respect for Islam (and fear of violent attacks from Muslims)

What if Detroit Lions player Stephen Tulluch and Tony Scheffler mockingly bowed toward Mecca during a game against the two Muslims? What if fellow players told these Muslims to stop asking them to fast and that they would be better liked if they did not practice their faith. There would be apologies from the NFL and the Liberal Media would blast the players for mocking the Muslim religion.

What if SNL were to do a show where Mohammed told the Abdullah brothers that not drinking water during practice is silly and that Jesus is the real Son of God. What if SNL, whose studio is mere miles from where Muslims killed 3000 Americans, did a skit where these Muslim players were asked to read the football playbook more instead of the Koran, and to stay away from the terrorist playbooks that some Muslims followed when they attached America on 9/11. All Hell would break lose if that happened and Muslims terrorists might even attack the SNL studio like when the Muslim’s rioted when a Danish cartoon simply poked fun at Allah, killing many innocent people.

I do not believe in the Muslim faith. I do not care that these Muslim NFL players practice their faith. That is not my point. I believe that anyone is should be allowed to believe what they want. My point is that it is completely unacceptable for the NFL and the Media to allow the bashing of Tim Tebow for openly practicing his Christianity while at the same time they pander to the Muslim faith and would never allow anyone to be criticized for openly practicing Islam. Heck, SNL has never once poked fun at the Muslim faith at all ever since I can remember, but they sure have poked fun at Christianity.

What if President Obama invited Tim Tebow to the White House this Christmas specifically to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. There would be outrage and cries of Obama to keep church and state separated. It is completely ok though for Obama to celebrate Ramadan with Muslim NFL players. Heck, Obama even gave Osama Bin Laden a proper Muslim Sea Burial but refused to give a proclamation recognizing Easter.

There is a double standard and clear hypocrisy in America. In my opinion, there is even an all-out war against Christianity. Families of dead US Soldiers have to fight to say a prayer at the military burial of their hero sons and daughters. Texas Towns have to fight to be allowed to celebrate Christmas and have Nativity Scenes. The founding fathers of the United States of America are probably rolling in their graves right about now because they openly expressed their (mostly Christian) faith, even more than Tebow or Governor Rick Perry do!

One Last Point: Tim Tebow has never responded negatively to any of the criticisms hurled his way. He is always respectful, even when people are making fun of him. Tebow really does live what he believes and I respect him for it.
