#1 Oh, the disrespect!

Maybe Bash can tell us how many different meanings there are for taquiya and kufr. Most of what would follow that lesson would be redundant, as it sums up all the lies and hatred of the RoP, spit.

#2 "Muslims always say "Prophet Muhammad," Pharoan
said.

"Omitting the word prophet is disrespectful," he
said."

Omitting the word "false" before "prophet" is inaccurate. Omitting the word "rockspider" is optional.

#4 "Jihad" does not mean a Muslim should go out and kill the poor, he said.

Unless the poor are infidel or Shia.

#5 "~~Muslim~~ Teachers should ask themselves, 'Am I teaching fact or opinion?'"

#6 Well, if this annoys the muzzies, then the Baltimore Catechism is really going to put their panties in a wad.

#7 Some of the featured lectures should include; Head chopping 101, Clitorectomy - for fun and profit, Safe goat sex, Bronze age technology, How to take advantage of Western guilt, Hitler my Hero, Rosie O'Donnel and your 71 other virgins, Muhammed - savage pedophile warlord or false prophet?

I'm tired of Muslim victimization in all facets. Grow the fuck up, join the 21st century and stop trying to jam yourselves down the civilized worlds throat.

#9 I would like to see the entire AMERICAN-Muslim community condeming suicide bombing, the murderous aspect of jihad, and any type of violence perpetrated by Muslims in any place of the world very OPENLY, STRONGLY.

"Jihad" does not mean a Muslim should go out and kill the poor, he said.

Yet, oddly, it DOES include emptying an automatic rifle into a child strapped into a car seat.

#11 Everything the School Board hands out belittles Jesus Christ because they refer to the date only as 2006. Christians always say "In they Year of Our Lord 2006". Documents and assignments ommitting this phrase are disrespectful.

#12 Suicide is forbidden. The taking of innocent lives is forbidden. Yet the curriculum would have students believing otherwise,

Watching the daily news would have students believe otherwise.

#14 Time to look a bit deeper at "Bash Pharoan"...

"Pharoan disagrees. He said the resource sheet on Islam belittles the prophet Muhammad by referring to him only as "Muhammad."

Muslims always say "Prophet Muhammad," Pharoan said.

"Omitting the word prophet is disrespectful," he said."

When the shoe is on the other foot, and Muslims are causing deep offence to (eg) holocaust survivors, Bash plays it down, and doesn't see a big deal about it ...

Local Leaders React To Holocaust Conference

[...]

However, president of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee Dr. Bash Pharoan said he believes it's an attempt at propaganda by Ahmadinejad.

"I don't really see the big deal about it. Iranians, anyone else has the right to make a conference about any topic. Truthfully, I don't think Jewish Americans (or) Israelis have to fear anything. The facts speak for themselves," Pharoan said.

Hypocrite!

#15 Amusingly, describing Islam in dry academic terms will really get their panties in a bunch.

For example, "Mohammed, whose name has about 30 accepted spellings, is always referred to as "The Prophet Mohammed" by Muslims, and "The Prophet Mohammed, Praise Be Upon Him", in print, sometimes abbreviated as "The Prophet Mohammed (PBOH). Muslims trace their ethnic roots to the early Hebrews, known today as Jewish people, though they dislike Jews intensely."

#16 "Islamic teachings explicitly forbid coercing others to adopt the Islamic religion. Suicide is forbidden. The taking of innocent lives is forbidden. Yet the curriculum would have students believing otherwise," Pharoan said.

Sorry Pharoan, but reality (not to mention 1400-odd years of history of continuous violent Jihad and conversions by the sword) calls you a liar.

How about we teach about the 1400 years of Jihad and how the 'middle east' was converted to Islam by the sword? About how the Crusades were a defensive measure?

#17 #13 They keep pushing. A little bit here, a little bit more over there. Are we going to push back? My guess is "no", not until it gets a LOT worse.

Lucky guess!

Bashar Pharoan, MD, PA, whose philosophy is "doing unto others what you would want done unto you"
has been campaigning for the Muslim holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha to be included in the Baltimore County Public Schools calendar.

Dr. Bash Pharoan is asking for just two days a year. In his decade-long campaign to have key Muslim holidays included in the Baltimore County Public Schools calendar, the dispute boils down to a question of two school days annually.

That's the controversy on its surface - but for Dr. Pharoan, the wound goes much deeper, reflecting what he calls a national prejudice against his faith. "It's clear cut that Muslim - Americans really face a wave or religious discrimination," he said. "I really feel this is religious discrimination."

#18 More on Bash Pharoan:

Images offensive to Muslims are debated

by Matthew Hay Brown

March 14, 2006

Baltimore Sun
Charles Mitchell sat before a full-color blowup of the most notorious of the newspaper cartoons that have roiled the Islamic world - the one that shows the Prophet Muhammad wearing a turban in the shape of a bomb - and said that how it makes Muslims feel was beside the point.

[...]

But Bash Pharoan called the image unnecessarily hurtful.

"It indicates that all Muslims are terrorists, or potentially could be terrorists," said Pharoan, president of the Baltimore County Muslim Council. "It means that the Prophet Muhammad teaches terrorism. If you look at the face, it's an ugly face. ... It really gives the impression that Arabs or Muslims are ugly people, and that they do ugly things."
------------------------------------------------

"Ugly things", like seek to destroy Israel, blow up trains, planes and nightclubs, shoot teachers?

If the David Jones tea towel fits....

#19 Public schools close for Christmas because the great majority of the students are Christian, and will take the holiday off, regardless... and the winter break has to occur sometime in midwinter anyway. Those schools with relatively high percentages of Jewish students learn that significant numbers of their students will be absent for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, and don't give important tests or key lessons on those days. *shrug* In the trailing daughters' schools the Jewish kids have always been a small minority, so we warn the teachers up front when they'll be absent and get the work ahead of time. That's how it works.

#20 Wow, the Baltimore Catechism I had not seen that in, um, a long time Sister Mary Chokehold.
I started to read it and the words were like listening to an old song... I'm back in the Wayback machine Sherman.

#21 I got an idea. We'll refer to the "Prophet Mohammed" if Muslims refer to "Our Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God". How's that?

#22 If you read the rest of the article posted by Whiskettes4Hillali in #17, you get to what's really irritating the boil on Bash's butt. It's not so much that he wants the holiday, it's that those damn Jooooooos have their holidays on the school calendar. Can't have that!

#23 I agree with this joker. The explanation given of Muhamhead does not suffice. All school districts should have a curriculum depicting exactly what this crimianl was and did. A child molesting thug and barbarian who used every means of treachery to accomplish his stealing and unthinkable tortures. A drug addict who came up with tales which could only have occurred in a drug induced stupor. A desert bedouin thief. The absolute lowest form of humanity on the ladder of life. A usurper and cult master who has deformed the lives of millions and millions of simpletons over the millenia. The cancer of the Muzzie cult should be made very well known to the children who will find their adult lives twisted and bent in the effort to throw the barbarism on the trash pile of history.

#25 Is Bash a shortened form of Bashir? It seems that being offended these days requires a remedy to make up for the offending. I propose Bashir leave the USA as a solution to make everyone happy. (Hopefully, he will also be humilliated as the door hits him in the ass.)

#27 None of this has much to do with the overall problem. Islam wants to convert or kill, in that order, all non-Muslims in the world, and practically nobody with any power has the balls to do anything about it. Happy New Year.
