U.S. Schools: There Is No God but Allah

By WND. A fight has erupted over the mandatory Islamic indoctrination imposed on students by a public school, including reciting the Islamic oath of allegiance called the shahada, which states, “There is no god but Allah.”

The Thomas More Law Center is representing Richard Penkoski in his dispute with Mountain Ridge Middle School in West Virginia. . .

Among the points of contention, on May 14, his seventh-grade daughter “brought home a packet of lessons and assignments which included the following: Write the shahada, the Islamic conversion creed, ‘There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah,” in Arabic as part of ‘calligraphy’ practice.” . . .

Penkoski, who hosts an online Christian ministry called Warriors for Christ, contacted the school when his daughter brought home the Islamic teachings, and he asked TMLC to look into the legal aspects.

He charged that it pushed far beyond what ordinarily would be expected in a class about world religions, because of the disparity with teachings about other religions. (Read more from “U.S. School: There Is No God but Allah” HERE)

NJ School District Under Fire for Allegedly Indoctrinating Children With Islam

By CBN News. A federal court is moving ahead with a lawsuit against a New Jersey School District accused of indoctrinating children with Islamic teachings.

District Court Judge Kevin McNulty denied a motion by the Chatham, New Jersey School District to dismiss a claim brought by Libby Hilsenrath. Hilsenrath says her son was forced to watch videos in his middle school World Cultures and Geography class that were meant to convert the students to Islam.

Kate Oliveri from the Thomas Moore Law Center applauded the judge’s decision to move forward with the case.

“This ruling comes as no surprise. The motion to dismiss was a further attempt by the school district to bully and silence Mrs. Hilsenrath. The school district ignored the legal standard and ignored the facts, attempting instead to fool the judge with a poor attempt at sophistry,” she said.

Hilsenrath says her son and his classmates were shown videos that went beyond informing the students about Islam, but actually called for conversions to the faith. (Read more from “NJ School District Under Fire for Allegedly Indoctrinating Children With Islam” HERE)
