Blog Smith

Blog Smith is inspired by the myth of Hephaestus in the creation of blacksmith-like, forged materials: ideas. This blog analyzes topics that interest me: IT, politics, technology, history, education, music, and the history of religions.

Texas Board Members Six-page Resolution Against Islamization

RESOLUTION
WHEREAS pro-Islamic/anti-Christian bias has tainted some past Texas Social Studies
textbooks, such as:
• In one instance, devoting 120 student text lines to Christian beliefs, practices, and holy
writings but 248 (more than twice as many) to those of Islam; and dwelling for 27 student
text lines on Crusaders' massacre of Muslims at Jerusalem in 1099 yet censoring Muslims'
massacres of Christians there in 1244 and at Antioch in 1268, implying that Christian
brutality and Muslim loss of life are significant but Islamic cruelty and Christian deaths are
not (see documentation in Appendix I-A);
• In another instance, allotting 82 student text lines to Christian beliefs, practices, and holy
writings but 159 (almost twice as many) to those of Islam; describing Crusaders'
massacres of European Jews yet ignoring the Muslim Tamerlane's massacre of perhaps
90,000 co-religionists at Baghdad in 1401, and of perhaps 100,000 Indian POWs at Delhi
in 1398; thrice charging medieval Christians with sexism; and saying the Church "laid the
foundations for anti-Semitism" (see documentation in Appendix I-B);
• In a third instance, spending 139 student text lines on Christian beliefs, practices, and
holy writings but 176 on those of Islam; claiming Islam "brought untold wealth to
thousands and a better life to millions," while "because of [Europeans' Christian] religious
zeal ... many peoples died and many civilizations were destroyed;" and contrasting "the
Muslim concern for cleanliness" with Swedes in Russia who were "the filthiest of God's
creatures" (see documentation in Appendix I-C); and,
WHEREAS pro-Islamic/anti-Christian half-truths, selective disinformation, and false
editorial stereotypes still roil some Social Studies textbooks nationwide, evidenced by:
• Patterns of pejoratives towards Christians and superlatives toward Muslims, calling
Crusaders aggressors, "violent attackers," or "invaders" while euphemizing Muslim
conquest of Christian lands as "migrations" by "empire builders" (see documentation in
Appendix II);
• Politically-correct whitewashes of Islamic culture and stigmas on Christian civilization,
indicting Christianity for the same practices (e.g., sexism, slavery, persecution of out-
groups) that they treat non-judgmentally, minimize, sugarcoat, or censor in Islam (see
documentation in Appendix II);
• Sanitized definitions of "jihad" that exclude religious intolerance or military aggression
against non-Muslims – even though Islamic sources often include these among proper
meanings of the term – which undergirds worldwide Muslim terrorism (see documentation
in Appendix II); and,
WHEREAS more such discriminatory treatment of religion may occur as Middle
Easterners buy into the U.S. public school textbook oligopoly, as they are now doing (see
documentation in Appendix III); and
WHEREAS Texas' elected State Board of Education (SBOE) is a principal democratic
check and balance on otherwise often-unresponsive editors and -unaccountable authors,
making the SBOE the premiere venue for Texans' effective exercise of the constitutional
right of petition to redress curricular grievances; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED by the SBOE, that diverse reviewers have repeatedly documented gross
pro-Islamic/anti-Christian distortions in Social Studies texts; that Social Studies TEKS
cannot provide relief, because they tell what a course should cover, not all it should avoid;
that under Texas Education Code §28.002(h) and (i), the SBOE must enforce "the basic
democratic values of our state and national heritage;" that chronic partiality to one of the
world's great religions, and animus against another, flout democratic values and the letter
and spirit of this rule; and that Texas Administrative Code §66.66(c)(4) provides, "[N]o
instructional material may be adopted that contains content that clearly conflicts with the
stated purpose of the Texas Education Code, §28.002(h)" (emphasis added); and be it
further
RESOLVED, That the SBOE will look to reject future prejudicial Social Studies
submissions that continue to offend Texas law with respect to treatment of the world's
major religious groups by significant inequalities of coverage space-wise and/or by
demonizing or lionizing one or more of them over others, as in the above-cited instances.
WITNESS our signatures this twenty-fourth day of September, two thousand ten, in
Austin, Texas.

Independent.ie reported on July 28, 2009 that the Dubai royal family, through its
investment vehicle
Istithmar World Capital, was becoming "a major shareholder" in the Education Media
and Publishing
Group (EMPG), which controls Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Istithmar's website states:
EMPG is a combination of Houghton Mifflin Riverdeep and Harcourt Education, two of the most
successful and established educational book publishers in the United States, together forming
the
largest player in the K-12 publishing segment. Istithmar World made its first investment in the
senior equity raised for the transaction that combined Houghton Mifflin and Riverdeep Group in
December 2006, followed by an equity investment one year later for acquisition of Harcourt
Education.
In 2008, Istithmar World partnered with EMPG to create EMPGI, a JV [joint venture] to pursue
education opportunities in emerging markets. EMPGI aims to leverage on Istithmar World’s
knowledge and relationships in emerging markets.
AOL's Daily Finance added on November 30, 2009, that "EMPG ... partnered in 2008
with Istithmar
World Capital, a subsidiary of investment company DubaiWorld. The resulting $125
million joint venture,
EMPG International, was intended 'to bring the education publishing group's products
to developing
markets.' Istithmar ended up a major shareholder in EMPG last July ... taking a 45%
stake in the company
in tandem with several other holding companies."

Expanding the Manufactured Threat of Domestic Terrorism Beyond Islamism


FBI and ATF agents raid the home of activist Nick Kelly in Minneapolis.

FBI spokesman Steve Warfield told the Associated Press that six warrants in Minneapolis and two in Chicago were served about 7 a.m. Friday. Warfield said the FBI is seeking “evidence relating to activities concerning the material support of terrorism.”

“The search warrant for 1823 Riverside, the residence of activist Mick Kelly, sought information ‘regarding ability to pay for his own travel’ to Palestine and Columbia from 2000 to today. The warrant hyped potential documents indicating any contacts/facilitation with FARC, PFLP, and Hezbollah — what it called ‘FTOs’ or ‘foreign terrorist organizations’. It mentioned seeking information on the alleged ‘facilitation of other individuals in the US to travel to Colombia, Palestine and any other foreign location ins support of foreign terrorist organizations including but not limited to FARC, PFLP and Hezbollah,” reports IndyMedia in the Twin Cities.

Individuals targeted by the FBI appear to be members of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, a Marxist-Leninist group that continues to uphold Joseph Stalin as one of the “principal theorists” of Marxism-Leninism, along with Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Vladimir Lenin, and Mao Zedong. Stalin liquidated around 50 million people while Mao killed off more than 70 million.

The Freedom Road Socialist Organization was formed in 1985. It consolidated the remnants of the New Communist Movement of the 1970s. The New Communist Movement was part of the “New Left” that emerged from the Students for a Democratic Society in the 1960s. SDS was not only infiltrated and taken over by Marxist-Leninist groups, but also the FBI (see Max Elbaum, Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz, & Elizabeth Martinez, Rebels with a Cause).

Krauthammer on the `state of nature' in Iran


Charles Krauthammer, on Obama's response to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech to the U.N. General Assembly (hat tip - NRO):

So: After that speech, the U.S. delegation at the U.N. says that what the president of Iran had said was abhorrent and delusional. And then [the] State Department issues a statement, and it accuses him of being outrageous.

And yet an hour earlier, our president, on the same stage, same podium, reaches out his hand, opens the door to new negotiations with a man who apparently is abhorrent, delusional, and outrageous.

Now there's a real disconnect here.

Obama operates under the assumption that all Iran has to do is to show its sincerity, that it's meeting its obligations under the NPT. This is the way a law professor speaks about the duties and obligations of a citizen in a cozy civil society where all of us agree on the norms.

The international arena is a state of nature where there are no norms, especially for a regime like Iran's, a rogue regime. And it acts in its own interest to acquire its own -- and to augment its own -- power. To pretend, as Obama does, that this is only a question of obligations and duties, and to again stretch out a hand that's been spat on for 20 months is simply unbelievable. It betrays a misunderstanding of the nature of the international community that is not even a law professor's -- it's an adolescent's.

Video Shows Taliban Stoning Woman To Death In Pakistan (Warning: Graphic)

According to available info on this video, it was shot recently in Upper Orakzai in Northwest Pakistan by the Taliban. Yet, the account and the video are mercilessly edited and downplayed for the U.S. audience. The original video is much more graphic than the sanitized ABC version.

ABC's version of the stoning video was irresponsibly edited, and because the accompanying narrative was so wrong, so patently false and deliberately misleading -- the commentary from Gayle Lemmon, an apologist from the Council of Foreign Relations (a tool for the stealth jihad), makes these pathetic excuses to ABC's Brian Ross, who nods cluelessly:

"It's difficult to know where and when it was shot," says Gayle Lemmon, deputy director of the Women and Foreign Policy Program at the Council of Foreign Relations, in an interview with Ross, "It is consistent with videos that have been coming from Taliban-controlled areas since the '90s."

Lemmon says that when women "stray outside the line" in Taliban-controlled areas, they may "face severe punishment."

"Women are respected as carriers of the family honor," says Lemmon, "but they also pay the price."...
