The politically correct in Denmark are making a fuzz over a new scoolbook used in teaching about christianity.
First the 5th graders have to learn about the Beslan massacre. Next they have to read about 9/11. Both are described as muslim acts of terrorism. Then they learn a little about islam, before they once more learn about islamic terrorism.
A chapter in the book is named ‘Terrorism’, where only muslim terrorists are described.
The editor of Al-Arabiya is cited for: “Not all muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are muslim”.
The book also say: “Many ask themselves why the muslim countries are the least developed and most backward in the world?”.
The book is widely used in Danish schools, but criticism is rising.

This sounds like a good book for children to learn the truth about islam and terrorism. I hope more countries adopt this book.

Great book. Hope it's not going to be pulled for PC reasons.
Great! Kids should hear the facts. Why hide the truth?
I just looked up the publisher:
http://www.forlagmallingbeck.dk/
On the front page the notice, that the book is being recalled.
"In the light of the criticism from several teacher the publisher and the authors has chosen to face the consequences. The two book will be reworked a new." The schools can return the books.
Too bad. The truth is ill seen.
Wake up world! Stop the rise of muslim fundamentalism close all mosques in the west before it's too late. See the documentory on Fox "obsession" the truth about the muslim religion and their so-called houses of worship.
If you think everyone should see that documentory forward then link to all your address book
People wring their hands and say that there must be "better ways of finding solutions" than warfare. Of course there are. We have already found them. The nations and people of the West use them all the time. They are openness, tolerance, reason, respect for human rights the fundamental institutions of our civilisation. But no way of finding solutions is so effective that it can work when it isn't being used. And when a violent group defines itself by its comprehensive rejection of all the values on which problem-solving and the peaceful resolution of disputes depend, and embarks instead on a campaign of unlimited murder and destruction, it is morally wrong as well as factually inaccurate to represent this as a case of our needing "better ways of finding solutions". That is why we have to insist, by force if necessary, that everyone else in the world also respect, and enforce, the minimum standards of civilisation and human rights. Western standards.
One last thought. If I am right that there has been a moral failure in the West despite and in a way, because of the moral superiority of Western political culture over that of its enemies, then there is also a second irony. One may argue about the precise role of religion in the terrorists' mindset, but Mr Blair and Mr Bush, both of them religious believers who purport to derive their moral stances from their religions, are certainly not part of the problem: on the contrary, they are leading the solution. Mr Bush, speaking to an audience of children, addressed the question that everyone has asked: "Why would somebody hate so badly"? And he replied: "my answer is, there's evil in the world. But we can overcome evil. We're good." This is the simple truth a truth on which all our futures depend yet the moment Mr Bush uttered it, all the intellectuals in the Western world winced. Even those who, like myself, agreed with the proposition, winced, vicariously, because we recognised the intensity of the taboo that was being broken.
True - the book was withdrawn today.
I have tried to find out who forged the quote:
"Not all muslims are terrorists - but most terrorists are muslims"
this quote has been circulating in the media, who quoted the book as writing.
"Not all muslims are terrorists - but ALL terrorists are muslims"
either the book has the quote wrong OR MSM has misquoted to shut up the book.
I'll be back :-)
