Cleansing history books of jihad, just like Islam cleanses infidels where it becomes dominant. Hat tip Weasel Zippers via Trustees decline to change portrayal of Islam | textbook, district, material – News – The Orange County Register.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY- Schools in the Fountain Valley district will not change the way they portray Islamic history to 7th-graders.
After a long, contentious meeting Thursday night, a unanimous school board declined to go further with a proposal by Fountain Valley resident Steve Jackson that they provide supplemental material to the district’s 7th grade social science textbook. Jackson contends the textbook shows a “totally positive view of Islam at the expense of accuracy.”
Jackson had proposed the materials written by Textbook Alert to be used in conjunction with the state-approved textbook, Houghton-Mifflin Harcourts’ “World History: Medieval to Early Modern Times.” The material specifically addresses a 55-page section of the textbook regarding Islamic history.
Katherine H. Smith, a board member of the Anaheim Union District High School District, brought up a different issue Thursday night. She said she wanted to call attention to the Fountain Valley district’s leasing of space to the Institute On Religion and Civic Values, headed by Shabbir Mansuri.
Formerly known as the Council of Islamic Education, the organization works with educators, publishers and policymakers to provide perspective on world religions in educational material.
“I’m sure we don’t rent a room to any group in our school district and it was verified that we didn’t,” Smith said. “But if we did, I would insist that the Jews would have a room, that the Christians would have a room…and it would be better not to be so cozy with these people and to be separated from them.”
In its supplemental material, Textbook Alert suggests various corrections to the textbook to address what the group believes are inaccuracies regarding Muslims’ views on Christians and Jews to interpretations of jihad, or the Arabic word for “struggle.” Textbook Alert is an independent think tank with experience in reviewing text books, according to Director Sandra Alfonsi.
Excerpts from Textbook Alert’s proposed supplementary material to Houghton-Mifflin Harcourt’s 2006 textbook, World History: Medieval to Modern Times.
Textbook, Page 61: “Jews, Christians and Muslims also recognize many of the same prophets. Muhammad taught that prophets such as Abraham, Moses and Jesus had lived in earlier times.”
Textbook Alert: “Judaism and Christianity do not regard Abraham, Moses or Jesus as prophets.”
Textbook, Page 61: “Muhammad respected Jews and Christians as “people of the Book” because their holy books taught many of the same ideas that Muhammad taught.”
Textbook Alert: “The Qur’an refers to Christians and Jews as “apes”, “pigs”, “dogs” and “worse than cattle”. (Surahs [chapters 2:64; 5:59-60; 7:159-166; 7:176; 25:44.) This according to what Muslims regard as the word of Allah as revealed to Muhammad, is their belief about the true essence of Jews and Christians.”
Textbook, Page 83: “Muslims generally practice religious tolerance, or acceptance, with regard to people they conquered. In other words, the Muslims did not ban all religions other than Islam in their lands. Jews and Christians in particular kept many of their rights, since they shared some beliefs with Muslims.”
Textbook Alert: “…The alternatives offered to conquered Christians and Jews are conversion to Islam, or death; they enjoy ‘protection’ only as they endure humiliation and severely restricted religious and civil rights…”

Was that school board “bought off?” it sounds like it might
have been.
You will start to see this at all US schools.
it’s already in the major publishing house text books… but if you read in detail – the Islamists have infiltrated the organizations that review the content in the books which is part of the reason why there is revisionary and false history in them…not to mention the Saudi’s funding such revisionary history
How many people of ours do they have to kill before we WAKE UP?
This is not only stupid it’s dangerous.
It sounds like the leftards have California by the throat.
You’d all better wake up & smell the falafels before you find yourselves being forced to submit to sharia because of your own stupidity.
Saudi money is whitewashing history to make muslims appear less barbaric & more intelligent & successful than true history would depict.
They are using human rights commissions, CAIR, islamic lawfare, diversity commissions etc., etc., In other words they are using your freedoms against you.
When that doesn’t work they publish their own history books & spread around enough money to get them into the majority of grade schools. They also bribe the always needy universities in America with their wealth.
Do your research. Your children are being indoctrinated & lied to. What are you going to do about it.
The leftards don’t want to kill you. They want you to live on bended knees, lick their and the muslims arses, work till you collapse so they can enjoy spending like there’s no tomorrow like what the Wahhabi Terrorist stenching your WH and Madame Defarge Nancy Pelosi is doing, right now.
They want you to accept your femalefolk being raped, on the streets, unmolested, and hand your toddlers over to be raped and sodomised. Age of infant does not matter. Islam sanctions one month old babies ripe for sex.
And what better way than to inculcate islamisation on young minds to accept being raped, turned into sex slaves, genitally mutilated, and to kill one another to enjoy eternal erection and eternal fucking in their bordello called “heaven”.
And you Americans, allow it.
I can’t believe there are educated people who believe it’s perfectly OK to “change” history. They are criminals.
Keep fighting. Sue if necessary. The use of Lawfare is a two way street. Where is the Thomas Moore Law Center on this?
why aren’t there dozens of Thomas Moore Law Center-type organizations? there are hundreds of dhimmi/leftist lawyers lining up and doling out free legal services for Islamic terrorists and other known criminals – but seemingly few fighting for the Constitution and American citizens
Gah!
The West is committing suicide by allowing the poisoning of young minds so that those minds are receptive to dhimmitude.
Wonder how the American war on the Barbary pirates, who, by the way were and are muslims, is portrayed and how about the coming bicentennial of that war?
