#1 "They have got to give them skills. They have got to teach them to read and write," Powell said. "They have got to teach them science and math and all the other things that are necessary for societies to be successful in the 21st century."

None of that is required to wear a suicide belt. Get with the program Mr.Powell. Been scoping out this site for a few days, gotta say it's fun to read. Keep up the great rants.

#2 In some of these schools, children are being taught to hate, thereby hurting peace efforts in the region and also not helping their own societies, Powell said.

"We have been talking not only to the Saudis but to other Middle Eastern leaders and Muslim leaders around the world, and made it clear to them that Islam is a great religion," Powell said in an interview with WPHT Radio in Philadelphia.

"But they also have to be educating their youngsters not just in the tenets of Islam and the Islamic religion, but they have to educate their youngsters for the demands of the 21st century," Powell said.

One question: what difference does it make to include other subject matter besides Islamic doctrine if those teachers inspiring hate towards non-Muslims keep on preaching it anyway? The only result of Powell's little suggestion would simply be high-tech jihadis, a very unsettling prospect.

#4 Could we send officials from our teachers' unions to help help adjust the curriculum away from constant blind hatred and anti-Americanism? ... No, that might make things worse. What about every third cashier at a Wal-Mart superstore?
