Creeping Sharia Atlanta, GA: Father upset over homework promoting polygamy, Islam

09/23/11 -- COBB COUNTY, Ga. -- A father's complaint that his daughter's homework promotes the Muslim faith could lead to a lesson change in Cobb County.

Channel 2's Tom Regan talked to the father who showed him where his daughter's homework which said there's nothing wrong with having multiple wives.

The assignment went home with seventh-graders at Campbell Middle School.

The school told Regan the assignment was used to compare the pros and cons of the school's dress policy.

But one parent said he thinks the material shows bias toward Islam and is completely inappropriate for the kids.

"Trying to relate this to school uniforms, the context they put it into, doesn't make much sense to me," parent Hal Medlin said.

Medlin showed Regan the assignment brought home by his 13-year-old daughter. The assignment consisted of a letter from Ahlima, a 20-year-old Muslim woman, and touts the advantage of a wearing a Burqa and finds the way western women dress to be "horribly immodest," according to the assignment.

The assignment shows Ahlima saying she doesn't mind if her future husband takes more wives. "I understand that some Westerners condemn our practice of polygamy, but I also know they are wrong," the assignment said.

"It's promoting or positively depicting their belief that polygamy is fine, if that's what they believe. But I don't know how you could possibly state that and not have any kind of disclaimer that this is what these people think, but not necessarily what all of us believe," Medlin said.

Another page of the assignment lists the seven conditions for women's dress in Islam, including:

-It cannot resemble the clothing of nonbelieving women -It must protect women from the lustful gaze of men

It also states, "Islam liberated woman over 1,400 years ago. Is it better to dress according to man or God?"

"It represents Islam in a positive manner. That doesn't offend me as much as the fact that it represents no other religions," Medlin said. "To me, this material is being used the way it's used is like tearing a page out of text book and saying here's the whole story."

On Friday afternoon, Regan got an email statement from a Cobb Schools saying the school district didn't create the materials, they were provided by the state. The representative went on to say, "The district will review the material in question and determine if it can be taught in a more balance way or if it should no longer be used." ----- Excerpt from WSBTV Channel 2 Atlanta, GA

This video is extremely misleading...

Islam doesn't call for polygamy...that's a huge misconception.

Islam says that a Muslim may have up to four wives IF they are all treated equally...

Now, how the hell could I possibly treat 4 women equally?! I'm not omnipotent, I can't be there & here at once...therefore, polygamy is not allowed.

You can't treat multiple women the same...Islam recognizes that, & orders us that if that is the case (which it always is), then polygamy is not allowed.

@IslamNotMuslims

What's misleading? mohammed the false prophet had 15 wives and several slaves. He noted in the Qur'an that men are allowed to have 4 wives. Nearly every islamic country allows for polygamy and slavery because of this.

No one asked you if you could handle your allotted 4 wives allowed per islamic doctrine. Playing on semantics that you can't afford them, or treat them "equally" is not a reasonable argument.

Point here is what islam allows, not you personally.

[IslamNotMuslims]

@YouCruising Wow - your ignorance is shining through real strong right now!

No one asked me if I could handle having 4 wives?!

Are you shitting me, or just yourself?

The Quran CLEARLY says that we are allowed to have up to 4 wives IF we can treat them equally ; if not, then we cannot.

This is not my personal opinion, as you're suggesting - this is from The Quran. I'm inclined to believe you won't look it up, but it's there, 4:3 in Quran.

Blaspheming Muhammad doesn't offend me, by the way...

[YouCruising]

@IslamNotMuslims

You again proved how ridiculous and ignorant the islamic faith is. Your attempts to look reasonable, or rational in your dialogue shows how foolish muslims are. I'm saying this with all due respect to you as I have nothing against muslims, just that satanic worship of islam.

Blasphemy: The act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God.

You still probably can't see how silly you look, can you? muslims look at mohammed as God.

Sheesh, so sad. God Bless!

Contact Ehtan Hildreth here: schoolwires.henry.k12.ga.us/15­1610116114253173/site/default.­asp.

Please contact Ethan Hildreth, the superintendent of the Henry County School District, where this material is being used, and explain to him politely that a curriculum that promotes polygamy and veiling of women is demeaning to women and contradicts American notions of the equality of rights of all people, as well as Judeo-Christian notions of the equality of dignity of all people.

Jesus. They're not even TRYING to be subtle with this crap anymore.

[SatanStartedIslam]

No religion in public schools! Right?

@IslamNotMuslims God is Jewish

@IslamNotMuslims Qur'an:8:12 "I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle."

Qur'an:8:57 "If you gain mastery over them in battle, inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them, so that they would learn a lesson and be warned."

[freedombase]

@YouCruising Very well said

[IslamNotMuslims]

@YouCruising Yeah - you're not shitting me, you're only shitting yourself!

Muslims don't look at Muhammad as God!!! Not even anywhere close!!!

How am I being ridiculous?! You're the one spewing falsities about Islam - you're saying that Islam is bad because it allows polygamy, while I cite The Quran & show you how it actually is NOT allowed.

There's absolutely nothing whatsoever "wrong" with Islam...in fact, the only "problem" is the so-called "Muslims" killing in the name of Islam.

Whatever

lambdakore,

Uh no, not the same. Environmentalism is not the equivalent of fundamentalist Islam. Environmentalism is needed even if you dont believe in global warming. I also liked Ferngully when I was little.
