New York High School Exam Praises Islam and Attacks Christianity
Esposito is pro-Hamas, promotes Sharia in America, and thinks Muslim fundamentalist should be called “activists”.
Contrary to what some have advised, the United States should not in principle object to implementation of Islamic law or involvement of Islamic activists in government.
So New York schools are promoting the views of a man who thinks our government should include Sharia law and Muslim fundamentalists. Are parents in the Empire State aware of this fact?
The test gets worst. One source not only praises Islam but paints a picture of the spread of Islam being far superior to the works of Christianity throughout the world.
Wherever they went, the Moslems brought with them their love of art, beauty, and learning. From about the eighth to the eleventh century, their culture was superior in many ways to that of western Christendom. Some of the finest centers of Moslem life were established in Spain. In Cordova, the streets were solidly paved, while at the same time in Paris people waded ankle-deep in mud after a rain. Cordovan public lamps lighted roads for as far as ten miles; yet seven hundred years later there was still not a single public lamp in London!

Not only is this quote cheery picking subjects as a clear attack on Christianity, but the New York schools have specifically chosen a passage referring to Cordova, Spain which is also known as Cordoba, Spain. Of course, the Ground Zero mosque was originally going to be called the Cordoba House. And just read the question students must answer after reading that statement by Roselle:
According to Daniel Roselle, what are two ways Islam improved the lives of people in Spain?
That question is all positive and ignores atrocities by Muslims at the time. But when the tests tackles the mission work of Christianity it goes on the attack.
