| EFL A top textbook consultant shaping classroom education on Islam in American public schools recently worked for a school funded and controlled by the Saudi government, which propagates a rigidly anti-Western strain of Islam, a WorldNetDaily investigation reveals. The consultant, Susan L. Douglass, has also praised Pakistan’s madrassa schools as "proud symbols of learning," even after the U.S. government blamed them for fueling the rise of the Taliban and al-Qaida. Douglass, routinely described as a "scholar" or "historian," has edited manuscripts of world history textbooks used by middle and high school students across the country. She’s also advised state education boards on curriculum standards dealing with world religion, and has helped train thousands of public school teachers on Islamic instruction. |

| #2 We are not going to make progress in the WoT in this country until we publically announce that the Saudis are the biggest financiers of world terrorism and are our biggest enemy. The Saudi financing of mosques and prison outreach is an integral part of this process. I hope that Bush quits spouting the moderate Muslim RoP line, especially after he has been played for a sucker by them. |
