A demonstration to demand the investigation of the Islamic Saudi Academy in Fairfax County, which I’ve highlighted, indeed took place yesterday. Those criticizing the school, reports the Washington Post, claim it fosters religious bigotry and violence against non-Muslims. Specifically:
The Traditional Values Coalition, a church lobbying group [that coordinated the protest] … accuses the school of using textbooks that teach children to kill. A recent study by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom found that some of the school’s textbooks say it is permissible for Muslims to kill adulterers and converts from Islam. “These children are being taught to hate,” Andrea Lafferty, the coalition’s executive director, said in an interview after the protest, during which demonstrators waved signs saying “Honk to Stop Islamic Terrorism” and “This Saudi School Is Anti-Semitic and Anti-Christian.”
Honk, yes, but also investigate.
