Marine banned from daughter’s school over Islam homework

[mralstoner]

Any white-washing and disneyfication is apparent in the answers - not the questions - and you can't blame the school for that without establishing those answers as a comprehensive representation of what it teaches.

Wow, that's a very generous interpretation of events. But there is in fact bias in the questions e.g. why no questions about Muhammad's gruesome deeds? Because it's Disneyland. And a few of the answers (Mohammed's forgiveness of the Meccans, jihad means struggle, and the treatment of minorities) are only partially true and whitewash the whole gruesome truth. This shows they have in fact been brainwashed by the teachers. The questions generally lean towards (a) Mohammed was a kind and forgiving man and (b) Islam means peace and tolerance. It's obvious.

The exception might be the women question, we don't know, but it won't be the full ugly truth that women are in "bulk" in hell because they disobey their husbands, and that Mohammed was cool with wife beating, and raping slave women on the same day as killing their husbands.

And common sense tells you that virtually no school in the Western world would countenance frank views about Islam. They would run a millions miles from that topic.

And lastly, why exactly was the father "banned"? How did he "object" to this homework assignment?

He was allegedly acting in a "threatening" manner. But who cares, the point is about Islam, not the parent.
