Texas public school students don burqas, learn that Muslim terrorists are freedom fighters - Yahoo! News

 

[zone]

Texas public schools have come under fire again. This time, a teacher allegedly encouraged high school girls to dress up in full-length Islamic burqas and then instructed the entire class that Muslim terrorists are actually freedom fighters.

soooo.....a muslim woman in a burqa is a terrorist?
WND strikes again.

Read the entire article zone. When they are talking about terrorists, they are not talking about the women in burqas.

The difference between terrorism and freedom fighters is literally a point of view...We call the revolutionaries freedom fighters and how do you think england saw them? Probably more like terrorists

Ok, I understand now what you meant.

And Nautilis, while I don't personally consider the Muslim Brotherhood Freedom Fighters, I do understand your point. A lot of times it's all a matter of POV.

Did you also notice in the article that the same group who is promoting the concept that the Muslim Brotherhood are Freedom Fighters are also supposedly promoting the concept that Christianity are just another cult that are cannibalistic, or at least the early Christians were?

Lol I'm sorry but there have just been some things other the years in Texas that have made me chuckle and shake my head.

If they are fighting for what they consider freedom. I guess they are freedom fighters in their own sight..

Was it done for religious reasons? Those terrorist acts they do ARE NOT for freedom, but for religion. They have said so themselves.

Plus, k12 is known to say stuff like this. They called the Pilgrims extremists and claimed that the Pilgrims knew for a fact that there were already inhabitants there and that we intentionally invaded on their land. Yes, I was taught that the first week of my History of America.


now I'm not saying that the Pilgrims didn't have their downfalls, or that they didn't mistreat the Indians. But they weren't extremists and going over to set up their kingdom as prophesied in Revelation. k12 is slightly messed up, I gotta say.

I don't think that this is always the case. Terrorists aren't always freedom fighters no matter what the point of view, and freedom fighters aren't always terrorists no matter what the point of view. However it is often the case that one can be the other by what position you are looking at it. I'm okay with calling some terrorists "freedom fighters", but I am not okay with saying they shouldn't be called terrorists.

Why the heck are they teaching about these things in K-12 anyway?

There is a picture I have stuck in my head. It is of a Palestinian boy screaming. He has gone to school and come home to watch his house being demolished. Anyone fighting against oppression like that is a freedom fighter in my books.

I have no problem with Hijabs and Burqas and the like. I have a lot of respect for the Muslim women on this campus. Not once have I ever felt tempted to lust after them. My eyes have never wandered.

They did know there were natives accross the pond. Reports came from Spain, and Spain was villified by the other European powers. They knew there were natives long before 1607.

See: Black Legend

But they weren't extremists and going over to set up their kingdom as prophesied in Revelation

Also see: City Upon a Hill.

Neither were the founding fathers acting in the interest of freedom, and a great many of them certainly weren't interested in God's Law.

Okay, guys. I'll show you the links that I was given for my first 2 weeks of American History. See for yourselves what they make Pilgrims and Christians in general out to be.

The First Great Awakening, Divining America, TeacherServe

Chances are that most students will simply look confused at this inquiry—although some Christians among them might suggest that divine providence inspired large numbers of people to embrace “true Christianity.” If that happens, you have a prime opportunity to point out that while such an explanation might well be persuasive from the standpoint of faith (that is, the perspective of a believer), historians (no matter what their personal religious convictions might be) strive to explain the IMMEDIATE causes of why things happened without reference to acts of God. (Otherwise they’d all be out of business, since the ULTIMATE cause of every historical event, from the standpoint of faith, is the will of God.)

Secular view of history. "GODS NOT INVOLVED IN IT!!!!11!1!!"

Interesting pages, I skimmed. Some of it is accurate, some of it would miss the broad side of a barn.

I was sooo ticked with the Great Awakening one, with good reason, too. What you quoted right there is what made me maddest and almost made me choose not do my schooling altogether. But Mom and the teachers helped me through it and encouraged me. Doing alot better, and haven't seen as much stuff like that, if any. But dang, they sure did pack it all in within the first week or two of school.
