Fox News On Arabic Culture School: ‘Al Qaeda Is Coming Soon To A Classroom Near You’
Fox News On Arabic Culture School: ‘Al Qaeda Is Coming Soon To A Classroom Near You’
Yesterday, Fox News’ Hannity & Colmes did a segment asking if the Khalil Gibran International Academy, the first New York City public school “dedicated to the study of the Arabic language and culture,” is “a breeding ground for radicals.”
As Fox rolled footage of the 9/11 attacks, Sean Hannity asked if the New York Board of Education was “blurring the line between the separation of church and state” by using “tax dollars to fund an all Muslim school. ” After displaying banners with “Islam 101?” and “Funding Fatwa?,” Alan Colmes introduced the segment by saying, “Coming soon to a classroom near you, Al Qaeda!” Watch it:
In reality, the school is open to “students of all racial and ethnic background,” not just Muslims, and its curriculum is “not religion-based.” According to the New York Board of Education, the academy will offer “a standard college preparatory curriculum, with separate Arabic language instruction,” and special emphasis on the “the history and contributions of the Arab people.”
Hannity also suggested that instruction of reading and writing should precede lessons in Arabic culture and history. “Once we teach kids to read, write and math then we can expand out?” But like the more than 60 other dual-language New York public schools, which “focus on cultures as diverse as Creole and Chinese and Russian,” the Khalil Gibran International Academy will teach Arabic culture while simultaneously preparing students for the “rigorous New York State Regents Examinations.” As the National Association for Bilingual Education points out, “English-speaking students who learn a second language routinely do better in school and get better jobs.”
And if the above segment is any indication, then the school’s mission, to “embrace of New York City’s growing Arab population and of internationalism,” and dispel “the stereotypes” of Arab Americans, is all too relevant.

A Muslamoid training camp coming to your neck of the woods. As the lefties claim, it’s good for diversity.
July 26th, 2007 at 6:24 pmNothing like training the Islamofascist at home. Then we can have another civil war too.
July 26th, 2007 at 6:25 pmGood.
FOX should inform the American people about the Arab agenda.

Nice work, fellas!
July 26th, 2007 at 6:25 pmWow…. this happened a few days ago when Colmes read off the prompter that Biden’s strategy was “cut and run” and like this, followed it up with “Well I wouldn’t call it that.”
July 26th, 2007 at 6:26 pmHell,
#3,
you too, nice work!
July 26th, 2007 at 6:26 pmNow that’s a smart idea. Discourage a school that will be teaching people the language of the people we are supposed to hate. That way we will never be able to talk to them and since we won’t be able to talk to them, we won’t ever be able to problem solve. That will leave no alternatives other than war. It’s the Republican way.
July 26th, 2007 at 6:26 pmI don’t think some of the commenters click the links to get the whole picture…
July 26th, 2007 at 6:27 pmThe camps are here in San Diego; I do not think it is correct. But, In fact I am in favor of public schools being in standard uniforms. I know most here will be against it ( remember, I am aware of our rights), but I think it will go a long ways to discipline and less gang problems.
July 26th, 2007 at 6:27 pmThis is wrong. They will exclude non-arab speeking students. That is racist.
I thought you “progressives” were all about seperation of church and state?
July 26th, 2007 at 6:27 pmA brand new nation of Arab supremacy, fostered by lefty cruds.
According the left, we shouldn’t be in the middle of a civil war in Iraq. Instead, we should be channelling our energy to dealing with the one they’re seeking to create here.
July 26th, 2007 at 6:28 pmBTW - Khalil Gibran is an excellent author.

Plllease. What a foolish arguement. Offer arabic as an alternative to spanish in a regular public school if this is yopur concern.
July 26th, 2007 at 6:31 pmCan’t really deny the school though, since a number of other cultures receive similar funding. I actually think, that if someone wants their child in a specific cultural type school it should be private, and not publicly funded. Just my thoughts.

No, it is not rascist. But it will indoctrinate non-Arabs with pro-Muslim propaganda!
As if there wasn’t enough of that already coming from the Left!!!
July 26th, 2007 at 6:33 pmOops…
racist, not rascist
July 26th, 2007 at 6:33 pm#8- I know. It’s like #1, 2, & 3 didn’t even read it. And, I think when we finally have competent leadership (after ‘08), they’ll utilize a few, good, red-blooded Americans that can read and write the language of those that want to harm us all.
July 26th, 2007 at 6:34 pmHow many of the “fanatic right” know who Khalil Gibran was? It is obvious that Sean “drop-out”Hannity doesn’t.
I don’t know which is worse, the insanity or the ignorance.
July 26th, 2007 at 6:34 pmWhere does it say they will exclude non-Arabic “speeking” students?
Gee, Hannity, much of reading, writing and math we inherited from Arab culture, they’re not necessarily all that separate. But you wouldn’t know that because apparently you’re an idiot, as are some of these other trolls commenting here.

July 26th, 2007 at 6:36 pmNotice they changed the common spelling of Kahlil Gibran, author of “The Prophet”, to the more Muslim-y “Khalil”, as in, “Khalil Sheikh Muhammad?”
July 26th, 2007 at 6:36 pmAs God is my witness, Fox “News” has NO SHAME.

The same could be asked of the “leftards”. But you know what, it does not matter who Khalil Gibran was. What matters is these schools divert funding away from an already deficient system. They also create division. I agree with krazny the should be private.

Hey Troll, try reading the whole story before you spout off your big mouth. You may (note I say may) be taken a little more seriously if you do. Here’s the part you missed:
Please tell me where that says they will exclude non-arab speaking students. The school is actually to teach students how to speak the language.

Hissy you have been misled the Arabs inherited much that you credit them with.
July 26th, 2007 at 6:44 pmThe trolls are even more stupid than I imagined. It’s the neocons and the trolls who maintain that we are locked into an epic war with Islam and, in particular, with Arabs. But if someone suggests that some Americans should actually be able to speak and understand Arabic, and they wet their pants. Even the stupidest person should realize that, even if you only want to interpret intercepted conversations or documents, there is an advantage in actually being able to understand the language.
But, no, this escapes the dummies, especially the trolls on TP.

July 26th, 2007 at 6:48 pmgummitch,
in order for the wingnuts to justify Iraq, and everything that has happened since 9/11, the conflict needs to be on the same level as WWII. It doesn’t matter, that they great and powerful enemy they fear is more of a paper tiger. It is justification for Iraq, and everything else. If it wasn’t an epic conflict, then they would not be able to justify the war.
July 26th, 2007 at 6:48 pmThis is wrong. They will exclude non-arab speeking students. That is racist.

First go back to school and learn how to spell in the English language. Second please explain how admitting Arabic speaking peoples is racist. Do you thing only Arabs speak Arabic? And please explain how that also touches on separation of church and state? When did the Arabic language become a religion? Are you trying to be this stupid or were you born with “the gift”.

July 26th, 2007 at 6:54 pmThere is a growing concern about 9/11 as to what the real facts are. Too many questions left unanswered… but for Faux to once again exploit this unfortunate event - to terrorize our population shows what scum they are. Who are the real terrorists? Who is it massacring innocent countries, changing the reasons as to why, tryi8ng to steal a countries resource? Next Iran…. Pakastan….

July 26th, 2007 at 6:56 pmI’ve been waiting for something like this to happen. The Christians who insist that there is no separation of church and state and assume that Christianity will be the religion of choice when those lines get blurred have a rude awakwning. I think it’s hysterical that Fox Noise is now screaming separation of church and state when their viewer base wants to tear that wall down.

But people like Bush makes it radical.
Acceptance of others will make the world a better place to live.
As a non-believer, I have visited Mosques and churches to understand this conflict.
The Iman in the Mosque taught understanding and mutual trust.
The Christian church taught about the mistrust of Islam and their violent ways.
I would rather trust a Muslim than a Christian to stand by me.

Ridiculous statement number 874,354.
This is not a christian nation. Separation of church and state makes for a stronger democracy and MORE religious freedom for all. There are no separate rules for Islam.
This is a private school. They can teach what they want, just like the christian schools.
If you don’t like it, don’t send your kids there.

July 26th, 2007 at 7:19 pmThe US invades Iraq builds a big Embassy and sends Christians to teach Christianity to the Middle East. Yet American Muslims can’t have a school that is open to everyone while they teach education and culture values. I wonder where their tax dollars go. The media and White House has done a great job in teaching racism. As long as there is oil to steal the US will continue to invade. Yes even here in the US if your not Christian your a criminal. As the GOP and White House has shown us the New America is only interested in stealing and lying. Americans have no representation but will be taxed.

July 26th, 2007 at 7:20 pmLibTeenie: “George Washington couldnt possibly have conceived that the liberalism he referred to would ever encompass what is supposedly liberal in today’s America.”
This is a standard argument today’s conservatives make when confronted with the shocking liberalism our country’s founders displayed in their words and actions. No, sorry, most of the Founders were believers in the philosophy of The Enlightenment. Washington was dead set against merging church and state. He had a healthy suspicion of organized religion. Although most people think of him as a Deist, there is a strong argument to be made that he was an athiest. He believed in the power of working people pooling their resources to create civil government and that government should serve the interests of the people, be completely transparent and “provide for the public welfare.” Although the British were routinely torturing Revolutionary soldiers and their supporters, Washington would allow no mistreatment of British prisoners. If he were to show up at a current Republican debate, he’d get booed off the stage.

Well, I wouldn’t go that far, CT. But the libs do seem to demonize Christianity, while embracing Islam.
Perhaps they feel that the BIG BAD USA has ruined so many Islamic lives, that they subconsciously overcompensate by apologizing to, and making excusses for, the Muslims… no matter what.

July 26th, 2007 at 7:24 pmKhalil Gibran was a good writer, with depth hard to find in many writers’ work. He wrote beautifully about humanity and love.
Khalil was also a painter, and a poet.
His books were translated to many languages.
Khalil depth in describing life, nature and love is unmatched. I read most of his books. It saddens me to see a writer of his caliber is used by Fox network for propaganda purpose.
This reminds me when the same network(Fox) attacked Senator Obama for his elementry ‘Madrasa’…(not explaining to viewers that any school, any school.. in Arabic language is called Madrasa). Hannity’s venom, hate and propaganda he used here is very clear,and obvious.
Khalil was a Christian Arab himself,born in Lebanon. His writing is Arabic is as sweet as it is in English…
July 26th, 2007 at 7:24 pmHe was a giant.

According to most polls conducted in Muslim countries less than 5% of all Muslims identify themselves as “islamacists” or those who want to establish a “world-wide Caliphate.”
By comparison, close to 15% of christians, when polled, agree with the goals of “Christian Dominionists.”

I hope you’re kidding. If you’re not kidding, you need to crack open a history book. Seriously, Washington is on record in writing for preventing his soldiers from mistreating British soldiers. The Redcoats routinely tortured and hung captured Revolutionaries. Washington told his men that they had to stand for something and not lower themselves to the level of King George’s murderous legions.
