This poetgirl on Instagram says some off the wall shit.
Some of these old bitches have totally lost their mind and just spread misinformation.
This is more than mildly infuriating for me but I wasn't quite sure where else to post this lol.

Muslims have a long and proud history of serving this country with honor and distinction for centuries.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslims_in_the_United_States_military
The first country to recognize the US was Morocco, an overwhelmingly Muslim nation then, and before then, and now. And for that long-lasting support, real Americans suggest they don't belong here.
It wasn't ...France, who was there fighting with us for that independence?
I get what you're saying, but it was Morocco in June of 1777, while France took their sweet time (February of 1778). I only know this because it was stressed to us when I went to Morocco to train with their military (or have them train with us). It went poorly.
Yes. I have served with some.
Also, let's not forget the interpreters we had that risked their lives to help us. Many we worked to bring back to the states. They are amazing people and I would choose any interpreter that I ever worked with over my own mom. My mom was horrible btw.
The current administration is certainly forgetting those folks.
Yes. Sadly I know all about this and it hits pretty close to home for me.
They are pissing off a bunch of operators and such and that's never a good thing.
Why would anyone help the US after seeing this shit? Nothing seems to matter to these anonymous, masked goons: whether they have legal protections, whether they were approved by the previous administration, whether they helped us in a warzone, whether they're a citizen!? Their hatred of brown people extends to our fucking allies showing up for court as part of the legal process (immigrating the "right way"). Doesn't matter, they'll still arrest you at the courthouse.
And it won't stop there. Soon it'll be anyone LGBTQ+, then all Democrats, then...
Personally I do think it should be required to post some amount of Islamic concepts. Among the many ways we are too provincial is seeing everything through the eyes of a single religion family. Even our friends and neighbors seem alien when we aren’t even aware there are other religions.
Let’s require at least some comparative religion study, perhaps in social studies and history. The major religions have had a huge impact on the development of our societies and we should all be more familiar with beliefs held in common or u destined where they’re actually different (and not just the Fix News version)
They should learn about Christianity and Islam in their history textbooks. That's fucking it.
Why should that be it? Throw in Deism to understand the attitude of the US founders, then round out most of the population with Islam, Hindu, Jainism, and probably many more. You have to cover Judaism because of its influence on Christianity. And of course agnostics and atheism to round out the beliefs. You’ll never hit all the possibilities but perhaps it would be ok to cover families of beliefs, such as if native belief systems are similar (I have no idea and that’s a shame)
I meant that's the only place it should be learned about, and not plastered on the wall. I'd gladly shove all the other fairy tales in there too
Actual inter-religious comparative theology is probably even better for developing skeptical critical thinkers than not teaching people about religion at all. I would love to see schools adopt that sort of coursework.
We've had a marked drop in literacy and math skills in the last decade. We need to shore up those core skills before adding in any kind of social comparisons. The lack of understanding of nuance and context in text has directly led us to where we are in this country.
Exactly.
Most states do require some comparative religion in high school history. I’ve taught it.
Confucianism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and the Abrahamic faiths were in the curriculum. What was really fascinating was having a high schooler that had no idea what Christianity was. I live in the Bible Belt!
But yeah, understanding things like the Five Pillars of Islam humanizes Muslims. Understanding why a classmate isn’t eating all day, knowing that Muslims are required to donate some to charity if they can…
I think even some of the quasi Christian groups should be covered, but that’s a lot dicier. I don’t know if JW kids’ parents would want them to learn about the Great Disappointment, or Mormon families would approve of discussing Jo Smith’s child brides… (much less that official Mormon theology was that Native Americans would turn white if converted, or the best outcome for black folks was being a servant in the afterlife)
