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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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...

By comparison, close to 15% of christians, when polled, agree with the goals of "Christian Dominionists."

You say one thing and then contradict it with another. Just like here. This is called being a bit delusional.

Troll: "Yes and the status quo is classic enlightenment liberalism, not the crap you “progressives†push."
No, you're wrong about that. Edmund Burke was not a firm believer in the views of The Enlightenment. He believed that there should be a small set of elite running things and that the masses were too stupid to know what was best for them. The Father of the modern neocon movement, Leo Strauss, believed that "special gentlemen" should be running things and that these special men should tell "noble lies" to the masses to achieve the proper ends. This is the opposite of how the founders of our country believed things should happen.

This is what liberalism is, rather than the twisted caricatures posted by the trolls.
Shifting the definition of liberalism and conservatism is one thing that "conservatives" do when it's obvious their belief system is bankrupt. "You're not real liberals!" in order to discredit what is, in fact, a straight line from the Age of Reason to modern progressives. "You're not a real conservative!" they whine to someone like Bush, when they've spent the last six years telling everyone what an incredible conservative he is -- except now he's obviously a huge disaster in office.

So that leaves your post in "truth" to say:
But I also know a real threat (Islam) from a bogeyman (Chistianity) you fools are so blinded by your petty fears you are jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
And the first paragraph is simply crap, and does not represent anything real.

Thanks for coughing up another pathetic attempt to distort the record. The "left" excoriated the Bush administration for distorting the findings of the intelligence community for "screwing up" the WMD estimates.

And these would be who, exactly? Because in his lifetime, Muhammed's battles were primarily political in nature. You're probably thinking of the expansionist period after his death, but since you get your information about the history of the Middle East from comic books, you might not get the distinction.
Tell me again which books about the history of the Middle East you've read? Which books about the rise of Islam?
Humans fight wars of conquest and kill one another, yes. Stating this fact does not make me an "apologist" for anyone. It's only in the Manichean black/white good/bad comic book world you share with Bush that it does.

I know another private who really only enjoyed driving Bradley Fighting Vehicles because it gave him the opportunity to run things over. He took out curbs, concrete barriers, corners of buildings, stands in the market, and his favorite target: dogs. Occasionally, the brave ones would chase the Bradleys, barking at them like they bark at trash trucks in America--providing him with the perfect opportunity to suddenly swerve and catch a leg or a tail in the vehicle's tracks. He kept a tally of his kills in a little green notebook that sat on the dashboard of the driver's hatch. One particular day, he killed three dogs. He slowed the Bradley down to lure the first kill in, and, as the diesel engine grew quieter, the dog walked close enough for him to jerk the machine hard to the right and snag its leg under the tracks. The leg caught, and he dragged the dog for a little while, until it disengaged and lay twitching in the road. A roar of laughter broke out over the radio. Another notch for the book. The second kill was a straight shot: A dog that was lying in the street and bathing in the sun didn't have enough time to get up and run away from the speeding Bradley. Its front half was completely severed from its rear, which was twitching wildly, and its head was still raised and smiling at the sun as if nothing had happened at all.
I didn't see the third kill, but I heard about it over the radio. Everyone was laughing, nearly rolling with laughter. I approached the private after the mission and asked him about it.
July 26th, 2007 at 8:22 pm"So, you killed a few dogs today," I said skeptically.
"Hell yeah, I did. It's like hunting in Iraq!" he said, shaking with laughter.
"Did you run over dogs before the war, back in Indiana?" I asked him.
"No," he replied, and looked at me curiously. Almost as if the question itself was in poor taste.

Comment by Troll
You mean "who is" the idiot?
The fact that I lack a degree in religion, especially from a religious institution, does not preclude me from having read anything and, judging from the dribble you're now producing, having read far more than you have on the subject that wasn't propaganda from fundamentalist Christians.
So, credentials would be 40 years of reading on comparative religion and history, among other fields.
Whenever you get done trying to demonstrate that yours is bigger than mine, perhaps you could simply address actual issues. And by this I don't mean whining away about your grotesque political fantasies.

I can well believe that you do not see anything, because you choose not to look. Perhaps you believe that seizing all power into the Executive branch is a good thing. But if you think Jesus would approve of the behavior of Bush and Cheney and their lying, corrupt cohorts, your Jesus is clearly not the Jesus of the New Testament.

You mean to say that the Bible is not historically accurate? Daryll isn't going to like that PiPPy.
But help me remember, PiPPy, what the followers of Jesus (we're speaking of historical fact here) did when they entered Jerusalem during the First Crusade, in God's name, PiPPy. It seems to me it was a little more drastic than forcing people to convert. Something about . . . oh, yeah, that's it. Something about murdering virtually the entire population of the city, including Muslims, Jews and heretical Christians.
Oh, that doesn't count?

July 26th, 2007 at 9:13 pmNow that you have taken sex out, no way. I’m back to Catholicism.
I said redacted, not removed.
We have sex all the time, though my system requires that you fornicate on a bed of thistles and poison ivy.
BTW, you cant leave, you signed a contract.

Yeah Daryll, you keep dreaming on. You haven't been awake since you were a little boy. Discussing anything with you is like talking to the walking dead. And that is why I would not waste my time doing it.
Frankly, you are not a troll. You are not awake enough to be one. Now roll over and try not to get bedsores. Not turning over every once in a while will do that for you.
July 26th, 2007 at 9:14 pmO Lord…
You are so big…
So absolutely HUGE.
Gosh, we’re all really impressed down here, I can tell you….
So forgive us, O Lord, for this, our dreadful toadying, and barefaced flattery.
But You are so strong and, well, just so super.
Amen.

July 26th, 2007 at 9:15 pmDon't grill or toast your flock
Don't put us on the barbecue
Or simmer us in stock
Don't braise or bake or boil us
Or stir-fry us in a wok
Oh please don't lightly poach us
Or baste us with hot fat
Don't fricassee or roast us
Or boil us in a vat
And please don't stick thy servants Lord
In a Rotiss-o-mat
Don’t worry, I’m awake, sanctified, holy ghost filled and water baptized.

Comment by Daryll
You don't even know your own Bible, do you? Leviticus isn't a book of parables, it's a book of laws handed down to Moses by God. You've been more than happy to quote Leviticus when looking for a condemnation of homosexuals, yet feel free to ignore that very same book when the laws are inconvenient. The very essence of hypocrisy.
And Jesus does have a good bit to say about hypocrites, Daryll. You should read those parts in the New Testament.

Man created god in his own image. Not the other way around. From that view your whole education was one big waste of time. And from the way you present yourself here and the reason for it, it was just that. A big waste of time.

Typical of you out of touch folks with no sense of humor or understanding of satire. But then "religious" hypocrits have no sense of humor 'cause they aren't allowed to by their "religion". Oh, I'm wrong about that. You can chuckle at the jokes in the Readers Digest. But not too loudly, hear?

As I replied earlier, I'm not the one with the Goth problem. I just despise punks in general. Try to keep track of who you annoy. You may find it's more satisfying.
Oh, about that "homo" crack (no pun intended) that's one of my problems with Christianity. If you actually read about Jesus you will notice a few things. He is one of the few Biblical characters who never begot anything. He dressed in robes and sandals. He hung out with hookers and never got laid. He "loved" all twelve of his disciples. And his "homo hating" dad allowed him to be tortured to death. Connect the dots.

Look, when your basic communication language consists of unintelligible sounds like these:
heYooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO!
and this
heyoooooooooooooooooooo00000000000000
there definitely is a problem. But we have formed a study group and have begun to research the meanings. We are looking for funding under the "faith based initiative" program pushed by Prez. bush. We expect the money to arrive very soon.
In some cases we believe that these sounds represent a form of primitive religious song or preyer. All the trolls here seem to understand these sounds and seem to communicate with each other using them.
Stay tuned for further developments.

Comment by POTUS
This must be Top 40 radio, 'cause the hits just keep on comin'!!!!
July 26th, 2007 at 10:38 pmNow, let me get this straight.
We're short of Arabic-language and Arabic-culture speicialists throughout the federal government. The CIA. The FBI. The Green Zone over in Baghdad. Among the ranks of our soldiers who are fighting and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan.
One would think that a school opening in New York that admits all students, no matter what their "racial or ethnic background," would help us in our fight against radical Islamicists.
Some of the students graduating from this New York school, once they pass a security background check, will go into public service and might actually help thwart any terrorist attack against us, because they were able to read some intercepted communication between members of al Qaeda.
Only some reactionary idiots at Fixed Noise would think that training people in a language that could help stop a terrorist attack is bad. Meaning once again that these reactionary idiots at Fux News are actually advocating a course of action that endangers U.S. citizens and our national security.
When I served years ago in the U.S. Air Force Security Service, we had a special section out in California that was dedicated to training USAFSS personnel in foreign languages. Russian. Chinese. Arabic. To name just a few languages being learned. Because, you see, high schoolers might take Spanish, French, German or whatever, but hardly any ever learned these languages essential to our fighting the Cold War.
So, this NY school is a good idea. And as long as the school doesn't turn into a "madrassas," at which some radical Islamicists spout their hate-filled rant, then having this school training potential future defenders of our democracy, in the language and culture of the Islamicists out to destroy all things democratic, is definitely an essential weapon in our arsenal.
Which just makes me wonder how insane one really has to be to work at Fixed Noise?

July 27th, 2007 at 9:51 amFort Hamilton High School and Stuyvesant High School also teach Arabic.
So much for the language need not being met. Which was the arguement of many here.
The appointed principal has made some alarming comments and has been associated with radical groups and causes.
The advisory council is comprised of all religiously affiliated individuals.
There is cause for concern.
July 27th, 2007 at 9:57 am1: Khalil Gibran last I checked was a Christian in fact his father was a Maronite Catholic priest. So to hate this school you must hate Jesus.
2: Arabic is just a language that the US does not have enough citizens who are fluent in. There are Japanese immersion pulic highschools also in Virginia and MA. Do you also think this is a Buddist threat?
July 27th, 2007 at 2:57 pmApparently, Hannity (and a good many of the commenters) don't know the difference between an Arab and a Muslim. Read a book! In fact, the US government is offering plenty of money to university students for the study of Arabic, Pashto and other languages in the hope that, in the next war, we have more than 3 people who understand the language and culture. This is a useful program that is being sensationalized and distorted by the ignorant.
July 27th, 2007 at 3:51 pmSome of these sniffling prejudiced, biased comments are the same ones who would do away with black history curriculum as being used to start a civil war. I am no more afraid of Muslims being taught in America as I am Spanish, African. German or Whites.
If you've ever lived in NY then this is no big deal. Islamic fascism is not the curriculum, and you idiots posting the fear "Muslims are coming to get us" is as stupid as believing in the boogey man.
"Now the left is supporting terrorists here in our own country with public money"....OOOOHH. I mean really, no one is doing any of that stuff and your opinions are sophmoric. There are no Americans walking around saying they want to support or fund terrorists or doing or promoting anything to help kill Americans(in spite of the fact that Bush's policies are accomplishing this all on their own...It's not intentional..I hope)
July 27th, 2007 at 4:28 pmThe first comments I read here remind me of low lives sitting around looking for something to shoot at...but freedom in America includes tolerance of the mentally challenged with open mouths and keyboards. No real thought beyond fear, accusations and malice, who's egos have convinced them that their comments are insightful, especially after 3 or 4 beers.
Jesus Camp: How to make children schizophrenic and emotionally delusional through authoritative intimidation and fear based politics. Synonymous with Brainwashing, before a mind is old enough to see what is being done to it. "Extreme" indoctrination pushing away the need or ability to think for ones self. Jesus Camp run by Jesus Vamps.
Better that a milestone be tied around his neck and he be thrown into the sea....
"I want these children to be as faithful as the muslim children carrying machine guns when they are five who are willing to die for Christ like they are for Muhammad ". (Of course she meant willing to kill for as well as die for...)
Sorry guys, I'm just not that kind of King.
July 27th, 2007 at 4:46 pmWe are slowly securing Baghdad and other provinces. The surge is working. Daily terrorist attacks have decreased.
Comment by Daryll
I'm confused. It's possible that I don't understand, because I'm not an American... But it seems to me that the consensus of American opinion is:
People of Muslim background destroy an American landmark = Muslims are the terrorists.
America invades a Muslim country - that appears to have little (if any) connection with 9/11 - and entirely cripples their economic, political, and social structures = Muslims are still the terrorists.
There's something very absurd about the most powerful nation on earth suffering from a victim mentality - and carrying a massive chip on its shoulder to go with it.
