| In 2005, after an
exhaustive reform of the
Saudi public school
curriculum, the Saudi
government announced,
“We have removed
materials that are
inciteful or intolerant
towards people of other
faiths.” Can you
guess which of the
following are still in
Saudi pubic school
textbooks? |
| A ) | (1st
grade) “Every
religion other than
Islam is false.” |
| B ) | (8th
grade) “The apes are
Jews, the people of the
Sabbath; while the swine
are the Christians, the
infidels of the communion
of Jesus.” |
| C ) | (9th
grade) “It is part
of God's wisdom that the
struggle between the
Muslim and the Jews
should continue until the
hour [of judgment].
Muslims will triumph
because they are
right.” |
| D ) | (12th
grade) “Jihad is the
path of God.” |
| E ) | All
of the above, and many more. |
| Hint: What is reasonable
to one person may appear intolerant to the
ape, the swine or the infidel. |
