... students in the oceanfront Boston suburb of Revere, Mass. are taking the time to learn all about Islam — in the most embarrassingly shallow and cheerleading way imaginable.
Part of the textbook prints the Muslim Call to Prayer, according to Boston NBC affiliate WHDH.
“I bear witness that there is no God but Allah,” it says.
The textbook portion also reverently celebrates Muhammad’s life.
“Muhammad never expected to change world,” the admiring, rah-rah textbook reads.
“Muhammad later tended sheep on the dry hills like many young Arabians,” the text explains. “Later he became a successful merchant and married a wealthy widow. However, he felt as though something was missing in his life, so he went on a retreat.”
The founder of Islam was “upset about the cruelty of his people,” the text also optimistically explains. They “killed baby girls.” They “treated their slaves unkindly.” And “Muhammad had a strong sense of right and wrong.”

You sound a lot like an angry Christian defending the world from Islam. I see nothing biased in those questions, and your sources for the other stories are absurd. this is the story that your Daily Caller hit piece was based on. Notice the difference?

REVERE, Mass. (WHDH) - Some parents in Revere were angry when they learned students were being taught about Islam and the Muslim religion.
"No religion should be taught at school. In their paper it says Allah is their only God. That's insulting to me as a Christian who believes in just Jesus only," said Anthony Giannino.
A section of the textbook describing the beliefs of Muslims says, "I bear witness that there is no God but Allah."
Giannino immediately pulled his son out of the classroom.
"We don't believe in Allah. I don't believe in my son learning about this here," he said. "If my son was from another country and came here, he would have been catered to. But where he's not being catered to, they give him an F."
The superintendent of Revere Public Schools wrote the parents a letter explaining that it is simply part of the history in that section of the curriculum, and stated, "I want to be very clear that no religion is taught with the purpose of converting students to that religion..."
Other parents said they had no issue with the assignment.
"What is Muslim about, what is Christianity about. That's what I teach at home. Everybody should respect everybody else's religion," said Idalia Garcia.
"When you're talking about a specific region in the world, there's going to be traditions and there's gonna be religions that children should learn about," said Ovidio Raffa.
But some parents said they did not want their kids learning anything about Islam.
"They should also say to you, 'in history, your son is going to learn about Islam,' send out a letter," said Giannino, who also said he was starting a petition and had plenty of supporters.
