By the way, for those of you who think this is only happening in Minnesota, I suggest you start checking out similar activity in your own states.

If he keeps up with that crap he’s going to learn how to extract poles from where he don’t want them.

Has anyone considered that they may not have a flag?

I mean, maybe it got burned or something.

As much as Muslims lie, you think they would get better at it.

I think this one is obvious: Flying a flag that does not glorify Allah is blasphemous to Muslims. So is saluting one.

Hmmm, I wonder whether this applies to a certain candidate’s refusal to place his hand over his heart.

I think you forgot: 3) “Not wearing a lapel flag is even more patriotic than wearing one.”

Countdown to the next “Great American Armed Stand-off!”

Or maybe they are really that stupid, in which case, let `em be a madrassa. I think we`ll be able to take down anyone who comes out of there as a radical.

Ed, I want to have Real School Choice, where parents can move public monies from failing public schools to private schools, or from any public school to any school of their choice on a per student basis..

Maybe we should not over react in this situation, and set a precedent.

(The school board should look into these school and make sure that they are meeting the requirements yes… they should be putting up the flag yes.. however the religious component is where we may see a negative implications for School Choice in the future)

What i’m trying to say is for every muslim school 5000 Christian schools… it’s just the market.. >:}

Islam is the only religion(that I know of) that implies in its scriptures that it is ever permissable to lie. This concept is called Taqiyya . Examples:1) I do not know how to operate a flagpole. 2) We want to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes. Lunkinator on April 10, 2008 at 1:46 PM

As a counterpoint, Christianity and Judaism both indirectly endorse deceiving the enemy. There are numeruous accounts of people who are spoken of highly in scripture who deceived the enemies of the Jews, and of God. A couple of those examples: Ehud, from the book of Judges, and Rahab, from the book of Joshua Back in Nazi Germany, if you had hidden the Jews in your home, would it be ok to lie to the Nazis when they came looking for them? I agree with you in believing this madrassa should be taken off public funding, but I have no problem with lying to evil doers (the enemy) to protect those who need protection.

How bout we have a few Marines give em a crash course on flag raising? That’s probably something the students could benefit from as I’m sure they haven’t been taught what the flag is about.
There was also a woman killed in Murderapolis last Sunday taking two children to a Muslim Sunday school. She was hit in her car by a kid running from police. The police chase lasted about half a block. Who do you suppose the Somali ‘community’ is blaming for her death? (hint…it’s not the criminal driving the stolen car)

The ironic thing about lying is that the attempt to fool your listener often backfires.

Oh I’m sure, but I’d just LOVE to be able to explain the parts of the Code that would drive them nuts! For example, no flag or banner higher, no dragging on the ground……nd I’d wear my VFW jacket with a big honkin’ eagle, Globe and Anchor on the back.

I’m guessing they are getting all sorts of offers of assistance this afternoon! It’s never a good thing when your school is “featured” on the Drudge Report.

I live just a couple of miles from that mosque, er I mean school. I’ll raise it and give them a class on flag etiquette to boot.

Actually I believe it. Pulleys can be sooooo complicated.

If it doesn’t involve rocks, dung, or shattered bodies, he’s out of his depth.

Wait a minute. The savages, apparently, don’t know how to shave or bathe, or get out of the 6th century. Maybe he really doesn’t know how to work a flagpole?

I have things to think about.

The savages can’t operate a flagpole, but they can strap homemade bombs onto their children. I guess that it’s just a matter of where you choose to apply your abilities.

I got a brand new sawbuck that says Barack will hold a fundraiser here talking about how he wants to “change” education. Easy money?

The new education litmus test: knowing how to work a rope-and-pulley system!…

I love the exaggerations at Hot Air. This is from a story where a school in Minnesota doesn’t know how to raise and American flag on a pole.
Yesterday I linked to the Katherine Kersten column about the state-funded madrassa in Minnesota, Tarek ib…

Instead of suing Minn, how about creating a Christian or Jewish “relief” charity and see if the liberal nutjobs would allow that charity to open a charter school as well.

highhopes on April 10, 2008 at 1:12 PM

Great idea!
