More on TIZA


No, it has not gone away, the Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy is a Muslim public school, and yes, it is American taxpayer supported.

By de Andréa

You may remember my previous articles on this Issue; the last one involved a physical confrontation between the schools Islamic madrassa and a freelance independent op-ed writer like yours truly.

In the following article written by KATHERINE KERSTEN, Star Tribune, titled

“Storm brewing between state officials and Muslim school”
she includes some background but mostly what is currently going on at TIZA, trust me it is more of the same infiltration for the advancement of Islam’s agenda to change your country and your way of life.

She writes…

“Last week, Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (TiZA) and the Minnesota Department of Education appeared to reach an understanding in the controversy over whether Islam is being promoted at this public school.
But behind the scenes, a storm may be brewing.
TiZA officials have "taken a confrontational road" in discussions with the department, according to Deputy MDE Commissioner Chas Anderson, the department's No. 2 official.
Anderson says that the two sides have not yet reached an agreement on one key issue and that MDE will be closely monitoring TiZA's performance in future months.

TiZA is a K-8 charter public school in Inver Grove Heights Minnesota, financed by taxpayers. Its students have scored well on standardized tests. But like all public schools, it may not encourage or endorse religion, or favor one religion over another.
A number of facts raise questions about TiZA on this score. Its executive director, Asad Zaman, is an imam, or Muslim religious leader. The school shares a building with a mosque and the Minnesota chapter of the Muslim American Society, which the Chicago Tribune has described as the American branch of the Muslim Brotherhood -- "the world's most influential Islamic fundamentalist group.
" Most of TiZA's students are Muslim, many from low-income immigrant families. The school breaks daily for prayer, its cafeteria serves halal food (permissible under Islamic Sharia law), and Arabic is a required subject.
School buses do not leave until after-school Muslim Studies classes, which most students attend, have ended for the day.

Last spring, MDE opened an investigation after press reports raised questions about whether TiZA has been blurring the church/state line. The investigation focused on the school's 30-minute Friday communal prayer event, among other issues. The service -- led by adults -- has been conducted on school premises, and both students and teachers have attended.

In a report issued in May, the MDE concluded that TiZA's Friday prayer event violated the law and since then has been working with the school to make changes.

"We wanted TiZA to do Friday prayers the way all other public schools" handle similar activities -- "as release time, under state law," said Anderson. In a release-time arrangement, students move off-site for religious activities.

But TiZA said no, according to Anderson. Instead, the school will continue to hold Friday prayer on its premises. Students will lead prayer and staff will be present only "to ensure student safety," said Zaman in a letter to the MDE.

In a response to Zaman's letter, Anderson wrote complaining of what she called the "defensive tone" of the letter in which he set forth the school's intentions. "It is inaccurate for TiZA to imply that MDE's legal concerns regarding the school's operations ... were unfounded," she wrote, "and it is of utmost importance that TiZA take seriously its responsibility to comply with applicable state and federal laws."

TiZA now says it will shorten Friday prayers -- whose length has been a potential concern because of instructional time requirements -- though it has not said by how much.

MDE has agreed that TiZA's new arrangement on after-school bus transportation will bring the school into legal compliance on that issue. But the department is highly skeptical that TiZA's proposed arrangement for on-site, student-led Friday prayers will work.

We are "very troubled by it," said Anderson in an interview. "This may look good on paper. But how can you have an assembly with older students in charge of younger students?" she said. MDE plans to track the situation closely and conduct site visits.

Asked to respond to MDE's continuing concerns, the school issued a statement through spokesman Blois Olson saying: "TiZA Academy has reached agreement with the Department of Education ... and will continue to work with the department to ensure that we continue to be in compliance with all state and federal laws."

While TiZA and the department don't agree about the Friday prayer service -- even over whether they have an agreement on it -- there are other religious accommodations at the school that raise questions. In its May report, for example, MDE said that regularly scheduled daily prayers at TiZA appear to pass legal muster because they are "voluntary and student-led."

But imagine the reaction if prayer time -- reflecting only one faith -- were built into the schedule at, say, Stillwater Junior High.

Asked if other public schools would be allowed to accommodate religion the way that TiZA accommodates Islam, Anderson said: "We sought guidance, we want guidance" from federal sources and the Minnesota attorney general, "but no one will give us a black and white answer."

MDE says there are broader questions at issue. "This upcoming legislative session may be an appropriate forum" for "a serious discussion about the appropriateness of sectarian organizations sponsoring publicly-funded nonsectarian charter schools in the first place," said Anderson in a statement Monday.

For now, she added, "This is a gray area. School authorities at TiZA know it's a gray area, and they are walking right up to and over that line."

*************

THE BOTTOM LINE: Unlike me-- as a typical modern American journalist Katherine can not bleed over into opinion, or for that matter write the absolute truth. She is not only bound by the rules of journalism but the special rules of her employer. There is however a third area of concern especially when it comes to writing about Islam. And that is, one must not cross the line and really, really write the truth about Islam because you might unleash all the money in Saudi Arabia on the lawyers of America and anyone who even looks like a lawyer will want to get his hands on their share. The result, even if you are legally correct, is that you will likely find yourself and your family for generations to come, at the very least homeless, and in debt, or worse yet, you could suddenly be counted as one of the many growing number of missing persons in America. “Without A Trace”

This is what Katherine would write if she wasn’t intimidated by her employer or Islam, the enemy of this world.

It is through intimidation and fear that Islam infiltrates and eventually controls its host nation. This is called “Cultural Jihad” it is the precursor for the violent militant Jihad that inevitably follows.

The struggle between TIZA and the Public School District of the Minnesota Department of Education has been going on for years now. And the truth is it hasn’t changed one bit.

The truth about TIZA is that it is a K-8 primary Islamic madrassa, which means it is a terrorist indoctrination school for children. At ages 5 or 6, it is the time one must begin the deceptive brainwashing of young future terrorists to support the coming militant Jihad in America.

TIZA is not the first or the only Islamic public school in the U.S. it is just the most in your face one of many such schools across this country. There are also hundreds of existing public schools in every State that have indoctrinating our kids to the agenda and philosophy of Islam, subtly and surreptitiously through the introduction of new deceptively and subtly perverted text books.

The problem here is, as always, we as people of the western culture have no cognitive understanding of Islam. Islam does not compromise, Muslims are taught that compromise, or benevolence is a weakness. Couple that with the Muslim belief of supremacy and you have been exposed to the results of the rigid agenda of Islam. They do not subjugate themselves to your rules; you are in subjection to their rules no matter what or where, period…. (Sharia Law)

The only solution to dealing with this issue is to just cut off their funds, period. No negotiations, no empty threats, or empty promises to comply, because they will not.

This will be an interesting issue to follow, because as TIZA goes, so will go the Nation. If TIZA is not completely shut down, then this will be the foundation of the not so future Islamic State of America.

Remember the philosophy of: The education of your children determines the future culture of your country. And today the direction of education is the oppressive theocracy of Islam.

“And then, all will be at peace, under the sword of Sharia.”

What simple thing can you do -- to help those unsung heroes that are fighting right now for your survival and the survival of your country? It’s easy, see below…

Act for America
If you haven’t already done so, then do yourself and your family a favor, educate yourselves about Islam and the Constitution… The quickest, easiest, and least expensive way to get started is by doing this; buy two books from a lady who isn’t afraid of Islam or telling the truth about what is going on in America, and who has devoted her life to saving your lives and your freedom.

Brigitte Gabriel lost her childhood and nearly lost her life to first -- the cultural, and then the subsequent violent Jihad of Lebanon in the 1970’s. She writes her riveting story in a book called “Because They Hate” it’s about growing up from ages 10 to 17, with bullets and rockets flying over her head. She lived in a hole in the ground, in the middle of a war zone of violent Islamic terror for seven years. Even her warm fuzzy so-call moderate Muslim neighbors turned on her and her family because Brigitte and her parents were Christians and this was, after all, the Islamic Jihad of Lebanon and they were the hated Kaffaar...

In her latest book “They Must Be Stopped” subtitled, Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It, you will have your eyes opened to the true agenda of all Muslims.

The following chapter titles will give you an idea of how dynamic and hard-hitting this book addresses the issues. "Purists Drink Their Islam Straight" "The Muslim Brotherhood Project for North America" "Reviving the Caliphate: One World Nation under Allah, Super-sizing the Muslim World" "The Subtle Islamization Agenda: Boiling the West Alive" "Madrassas in America and Abroad: Molding an Islamofascist Youth"

The same cultural Jihad that preceded the war or (violent Jihad) in the predominantly Christian Democratic Nation of Lebanon exists right now, right here; in America.

How do we stop it? You and your whole family can get started by joining with Brigitte and me, and join Act for America, click here to receive a free online subscription to her news letters, and then by reading her two books. Just click on the titles Because They Hate and They Must Be Stopped to order the books on line.

Once you have learned about the agenda of Islam unfolding right here in America in front of the blind eyes of our government and Homeland Security, as well as the Islamic indoctrination of our children in our public schools. Then you can intelligently contact your Federal, State, and local Representatives and tell them what you know. Trust me; you will know more than they do about the infiltration of cultural Jihad in America. Can’t happen here you say? Think again, it is already happening here and has already happened to America’s greatest Ally, Great Britain. The British people are already living under Sharia law. Parliamentary law is surreptitiously and incrementally disappearing and Great Britain has become The Great Islamic State of Britannia.

The alternative to this is, to continue in ignorance and enable Islam to surreptitiously and incrementally infiltrate our society just as they did in the more than a dozen other country’s in the world that are today existing under the bondage of Islamic terror and Sharia law.

Islam offers the Kaffaar three choices: One, covert to Islam, and two, to become a Slave of Islam, or three, you can choose a horrifying torturous death. I am offering you, (“the Kaffaar”) only one choice; the forth choice. And that is the choice to fight back…

I strongly suggest, for your sake and the sake of your children, that you click on the Forth Choice… Choose the fourth choice first…

Remember: These Colors Don’t Run…
