A great, big “Thank You” and tip’o’the hat to a very good friend of
the Northeast Intelligence Network living in the great “North Star
State” ( L’étoile du Nord) of Minnesota for alerting us to the
following information. Folks, this is Islam in America. Pure,
atypical, run-of-the-mill, plain as day Islam.

First, the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune reports that the
Minnesota Department of Education is calling-out the Muslim Tarek ibn
Ziyad Academy (TiZA), a public charter school, accusing it of
“blurring...

The only reason I'd be concerned is that a public school, that gets public
funding, is teaching/promoting religion OF ANY TYPE (I don't single out
the religion of Islam as being any better/worse than other religions).

My kids' grade school in Woodbury held an annual Christmas band and

religion. It's about time someone else got to flout the law for their
own faith.

I just thank Dog someone from New Jersey was smart enough to tell us
about it. Otherwise we'd have to keep on reading Katherine Kersten. And
someday someone's gonna drop a house on her.

Yeah, the Jingle Bells medley was the point where they irrevocably crossed
the line.

The Muslim American Society is a front group for the Muslim
Brotherhood, out of which the genocidal terrorist group Hamas emerged.
The Minnesota chapter of the Muslim American Society has been the
source of local controversies involving the purported observance of
Sharia in public facilities such as taxis based at the Minneapolis-St.
Paul International Airport.

The Minnesota chapter of the Muslim American Society also houses a
Minnesota charter school in the Twin Cities suburb Inver Grover
Heights. The school is Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy -- named for the Muslim
general who conquered medieval Spain. As a charter school, Minnesota
taxpayers foot the bill for it.

TIZA is formally "sponsored" as a charter school by Islamic Relief
USA. Islamic Relief is a problematic organization. Its parent has been
identified by Israel as a supporter of Hamas. See Joe Kaufman's
disturbing "American Islamic Hamas relief." Kaufman describes Islamic
Relief USA as an extremist group.
