Rick Perry For Islamic Curriculum In Texas Schools?

Was Rick Perry pushing for Islamic curriculum in the Texas public school systems? I don't know.

On a tip from a liberal on this site, I decided to FBI it. What I found was he has been accused of it, but has allegedly went through pains to wipe all evidence of his alleged pro Islam activity.

So who knows? What I will do is give you snips of what I found and a link to the sources.

You will have to make up your own mind.

Why did Texas school district remove Rick Perry’s Islamic curriculum?

Down the memory hole? What’s going on? via Jihad Watch, The Perry/Aga Khan curriculum: Ace folds, presents as the curriculum material that isn’t the curriculum at all

One very odd thing about the Aga Khan/Perry curriculum: since this whole brouhaha started, it has been taken offline. It is now available only in cached form here. Why was it taken down? Was the Perry camp embarrassed by the material that Pamela Geller published here, showing it to be a whitewash of Islamic teaching and history? Or was it taken down because it really is, as Ace says, so “biased against Muslims it will reinforce perceptions [Perry] is some kind of rootin’-tootin’ six-gun shooting cowboy yahoo”?

Is either option favorable to Perry? If it was taken down because it’s a dhimmi whitewash, Perry is tacitly admitting that our criticisms of him were right, and those evaluating Perry should be concerned about his naivete in dealing with the Aga Khan. If it was taken down because it was too honest about Islam and will thus hurt Perry with the dhimmi/Norquist faction of the GOP, Perry is again tacitly admitting that our criticisms of him were right: he is not able or willing to stand up to Norquist and his Islamic supremacist allies. So which is it? What are they hiding? And does it matter? Either way, the deep-sixing of the curriculum proves that we were right about Perry all along.

In this one, Pamela Geller even weighs in.

All traces of Perry/Aga Khan curriculum removed from web

In this post I included numerous links to the Rick Perry/Aga Khan Islamic curriculum for Texas public schools. The links were to the Google cache of the curriculum material, because several days ago, after we began calling attention to it, the curriculum was taken offline. Accordingly I wrote in that post:

Now that impression is compounded by the fact that even the cached links no longer work: the Perry/Aga Khan curriculum has been completely wiped from the web. Pamela Geller has screenshots here, however.

This guy needs no further convening. 

THE ISLAMIC CURRICULUM GOVERNOR PERRY AND TEXAS SCHOOLS SHOULD HAVE TAUGHT

No school, in or out of Texas, needs a grant or expert from a Muslim organization to inform students. The “Religion of Peace” is a wonderful example of resources only a click away. Here is the 10 units “curriculum” on the Myths of Islam which are dispelled with the most effective antidote—truth.

Muslims often complain of popular “misconceptions” about their religion in the West.

We took a hard look, however, and found that the most prevalent myths of Islam are the ones held by Muslims and Western apologists. The only glaring exception to this is the misconception that all Muslims are alike (they aren’t, of course), but even Muslims often believe this as well, as evidenced by the various contrary factions insisting that they are the true Muslims, while those who disagree with them are either infidels, hijackers, or hypocrites.

Don’t be fooled! Hear the myths, but know the truth.
