We need to remember that on that day America was attacked by terrorists. The terrorists were <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Muslim\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Muslim\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Muslims<\/a> who believed that they were following the tenets of their religion. We need to keep in mind that the tenets of their religion call for the killing of infidels. Their religion also tells them that the only sure way to get to heaven (and their 72 virgins) is to be a martyr. Please keep this in mind as you read the following story.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.boston.com\/yourtown\/news\/concord\/2013\/09\/concord-carlisle_high_officials_apologize_for_muslim_poem_re.html\">Boston.com<\/a> is reporting today that the principal of <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Concord-Carlisle High School\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=42.4484138889,-71.3474472222&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=42.4484138889,-71.3474472222 (Concord-Carlisle%20High%20School)&amp;t=h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"geolocation\">Concord Carlisle High School<\/a> in <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Boston\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?ll=42.3580555556,-71.0636111111&amp;spn=0.1,0.1&amp;q=42.3580555556,-71.0636111111 (Boston)&amp;t=h\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"geolocation\">Boston<\/a> is apologizing for the fact that yesterday, the anniversary of the 911 attacks on America, a Muslim poem was recited over the intercom but the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Pledge of Allegiance\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pledge_of_Allegiance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Pledge of Allegiance<\/a> was not.<\/p>\n<p>The principal explained that the omission of the pledge was due to a miscommunication with the student who was scheduled to read the pledge. The Muslim poem was included in order to promote &#8220;cross-cultural understanding.&#8221; The poem dealt with a Muslim grandmother washing her feet in the sink at <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Sears\" href=\"http:\/\/sears.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"homepage\">Sears<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The thing about this that really bothers me is the picture that is being painted of a poor little old grandmother (I can totally relate) attempting to wash her feet in Sears. Why doesn&#8217;t she go to her home and wash her feet? What are her circumstances that she cannot plan her day to allow foot washing at home? Does the cross-cultural understanding also share the parts of the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Quran\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Quran\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Koran<\/a> that call for the killing of infidels? Does it also share the tenets of <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Islam\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Islam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Islam<\/a> that call for a war against democracy in order to replace it with <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Sharia\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sharia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Sharia Law<\/a>? If we are going to encourage cross-cultural understanding, let&#8217;s tell the whole story&#8211;not just the plight of someone&#8217;s sweet, innocent grandmother whose religion totally denies her civil rights. Would we have attempted cross-cultural understanding of the Nazis during World War II?<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none; float: right;\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=1118edaa-66dd-4d3b-8f47-aa2922e46df4\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we all know, yesterday was the anniversary of the September 11 attacks on America.
