Saudi Islamists and the UN team up to rewrite school textbooks

Foxnews reports:

The UN agency that promotes education wants a say in how future textbooks are written, and Saudi Arabia -- a nation whose own school books have been criticized for promoting hatred of Christians and Jews -- is helping to bankroll the effort. 

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is currently working with member states to revise its strategy for the publication of textbooks and learning materials. According to UNESCO's website, experts from 21 countries met in Paris last month at a meeting financed by a $29,000 Saudi donation and focused in part on "ways to ensure that content aimed at students systematically reflects cultural and religious diversity, and avoids gender stereotypes."

Critics warn that the funding will come at a price, and predict the Saudis will want input into what goes into rewritten textbooks.

"Saudi textbooks are extremely hateful and full of xenophobic texts," said Ali AlAhmed, author of the upcoming book "Saudi School Books: Objective Education or Extremist Indoctrination?" and director of the Gulf Institute in Washington, D.C.

According to AlAhmed, the Saudi funding "shows how xenophobic governments like [that of] the Saudis are able to buy influence." He said UNESCO was betraying its mandate to uphold "value and standards of education and tolerance" as he warned UNESCO and the UN system as a whole were "susceptible to financial buyouts from countries like Saudi Arabia."

Drawing from research in his upcoming book, which assessed Saudi school textbooks for the last academic year, AlAhmed gave examples of what Saudi children are taught. He said a guidebook says first-grade teachers should tell students that:

• "Adhering to Islam is the only path to enter heaven, and escape hellfire."
• "It is from Islam to love Muslims, and to hate the unbelievers and not to imitate them."
• "Examples of false religions [include] Judaism, Christianity."

AlAhmed says a ninth-grade book teaches that, "The Jews and the Christians are enemies of the believers. He says an 11th-grade book states, "The cursed are: The Christians and all those who have erred from the true path, and worshipped God with other than his orders."

While the Saudi Embassy press spokesperson in Washington D.C. failed to respond to a request for comment, a UNESCO official signaled that the financial support of members was welcomed.

After the Islamists failed to get enough votes to introduce global blasphemy laws, they are now trying to directly influence the young minds of Western children and the UN is legitimising the Islamists education system of hate.

..... After the Islamists failed to get enough votes to introduce global blasphemy laws, they are now trying to directly influence the young minds of Western children and the un gang is legitimising the Islamists system of the indoctrination of hate ....

And given that Australia's insidiously-increasingly Socialist-International-serving authoritarian-regulatory-bureaucracy-run "government" has already allied itself with Individual Liberty's every enemy, kowtows to and has effectively -- and for its central-planner-empowering ability to maximize dissent among Australians -- adapted islam as the state "religion" -- and has squandered Scores quite likely Hundreds of Millions of Dollars buying itself a seat among the murderous-islamist-dictator-dominated un-gang's inner circles?

How long before hundreds of already-indoctrination-inclined central-planning-promoting "educators" are fascistic-feral-gummint-sponsored off to Wahhabi Saudi madrassas to be brought up to speed on Australia's new skooling initiatives?

"Taught" fron textbooks derived from the Mein Kampf-like tenets of a manifestation of evil posing as a "religion," that in fourteen-hundred fanatical years of invading, colonizing, enslaving, raping, sexually-mutilating and mass-murdering deed and word has delivered on its promised destruction of Judeo-Christian/Western/Human Civilization's every advancement and every Liberty. And on its Mein Kampf's promised abject subjugation of every female and on the submission and/or effective emasculation and/or enslavement or murder of every Free Man!

God save us!
