When you think of Nashville you think of country music, the Titans, the Opry... but there and in the area we find.
This very disturbing thing. Click on the link and listen.
If a seven year old speaking of her husband doesn't make your ears rotate forward, nothing will.
It makes sense when you think of it. Go to a small metro area eager to appear cosmopolitan and fearful of bad publicity and there set up your group. Based on what appears to be a lack of action by the Nashville metro authorities and the TBI, I would say it is working perfectly.

More replies to a Muslim from England.
The nice thing about having a blog is that you can indulge yourself in the "Why didn't I say that?" syndrome. You know, ten minutes after someone desperately needs to be squelched you think of the perfect answer.
Well, earlier today a Muslim from England wrote a lengthy paean on why Muslims need Muslim schools paid for by the racist English tax payer.... So that was my first miss.....
"Hey! Muslim is not a race. Get a dictionary!" But that was minor. Here's the capper.
My reply was factual....
What I should have included was.....
"In the early part of the 20th century Jews were discriminated against heavily in this country. Yet from this small group of students came some of brightest, most intelligent writers, poets, musicians, scientists known to mankind.
The Japanese, and other Asians, were treated shabbily at best, yet again we find them represented in the top echelon of science and culture.
You might stop and ask yourself why that is. But you won't because you know the answer, and you don't like the answer." Which is:
Learning is important to their culture.

British schooling and the British society is the home of institutional racism. The result is that Muslim children are unable to develop self-confidence and self-esteem, therefore, majority of them leave schools with low grades. Racism is deeply rooted in British society. Every native child is born with a gene or virus of racism, therefore, no law could change the attitudes of racism towards those who are different. It is not only the common man, even member of the royal family is involved in racism.
My reply was factual....
Good schooling begins in the home and continues in the home. You should spend less time making excuses and more time examining the home. There is no such thing as a racism gene or virus and I hope your comment was for drama’s sake only.

A self-identified Muslim explains why Muslim schools are needed
The following was submitted by someone, I assume, who lives in England. Evidently he does not understand that the school, and lawsuit, is located in the US state of Minnesota. Never the less, I found his comments interesting and have decided to make sure they get the attention they deserve by publishing them as a separate post, not as a comment.
His comments are in italics.

As long as they pay for it that is their right in the US. In England I believe such schools are tax payer funded.
Since they have moved to England under their own free will I would say that their culture should be an English culture. If they want a Islamic culture they should return to their Islam dominated country.
No. Studies have shown that the most effective, and quickest, method of teaching a new language is immersion. A common language, English, is required to have a functioning society.
No. If they want a Muslim culture they should move to a Muslim country,
If you do not want to be assimilated into your new country’s culture, why are you there?
I cannot speak with certainty about the Sydney situation and neither can you. On the face of it I would say that the residents didn’t want a Muslim school in their neighborhood, probably because they did not want an influx of Muslim inhabitants. You may consider that bigoted. That is your right. That was their right.

Muslims have become infamous for their ability to become insulted at the drop of a cartoon. See the riots and deaths over the famous Danish newspaper cartoons. My advice is to get over it or move to a Muslim dominated country.
BTW – Less you think me insensitive, remember in this country we have Red Necks, Hillbillies, Yankees, Coonassess, Valley Girls, Pollacks, Cowboys, Jocks, and a host of other names. Some of us make a career out of protesting such things.
I have no idea why the Queen did such a thing, Probably to pander to her “subjects” in India. I would say that being in India at all was a mistake, and so was the pandering.
Yes, I understand that you see the Muslim faith as too weak to succeed in an environment that allows the free expression of ideas. That is why many of your cultural activities, arranged marriages, stoning women, hanging gays, etc., are viewed as if they come from the 7th Century. They do.

The demand for Muslim schools comes from parents who want their children a safe environment with an Islamic ethos.Parents see Muslim schools where children can develop their Islamic Identity where they won't feel stigmatised for being Muslims and they can feel confident about their faith.
Muslim schools are working to try to create a bridge between communities.
As long as they pay for it that is their right in the US. In England I believe such schools are tax payer funded.
There is a belief among ethnic minority parens that the British schooling does not adequatly address their cultural needs. Failing to meet this need could result in feeling resentment among a group who already feel excluded. Setting up Muslim school is a defensive response.
Since they have moved to England under their own free will I would say that their culture should be an English culture. If they want a Islamic culture they should return to their Islam dominated country.
State schools with monolingual teachers are not capable to teach English to bilingual Muslim children. Bilingual teachers are needed to teach English to such children along with their mother tongue. According to a number of studies, a child will not learn a second language if his first language is ignored.
No. Studies have shown that the most effective, and quickest, method of teaching a new language is immersion. A common language, English, is required to have a functioning society.
Bilingual Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods. Muslims have the right to educate their children in an environment that suits their culture.
No. If they want a Muslim culture they should move to a Muslim country,
This notion of "integration", actually means "assimilation", by which people generally really mean "be more like me". That is not multiculturalism
If you do not want to be assimilated into your new country’s culture, why are you there?
In Sydney, Muslims were refused to build a Muslim school, because of a protest by the residents. Yet a year later, permission was given for the building of a Catholic school and no protests from the residents. This clrearly shows the blatant hypocrisy, double standards and racism. Christians oppose Muslim schools in western countries yet build their own religious schools.

The father of a Pakistani office cadet who was called a "Paki" by Prince Harry has profoundly condemned his actions. He had felt proud when he met the Queen and the Prince of Wales at his son's passing out parade at Sandhurst in 2006 but now felt upset after learning about the Prince's comments.

Queen Victoria invited an Imam from India to teach her Urdu language. He was highly respected by the Queen but other members of the royal family had no respect for him. He was forced to go back to India. His protrait is still in one of the royal places.
I have no idea why the Queen did such a thing, Probably to pander to her “subjects” in India. I would say that being in India at all was a mistake, and so was the pandering.
There are hundreds of state schools where Muslim pupils are in majority. In my opinion, all such schools may be designated as Muslim community schools with bilingual Muslim teachers. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school.
Yes, I understand that you see the Muslim faith as too weak to succeed in an environment that allows the free expression of ideas. That is why many of your cultural activities, arranged marriages, stoning women, hanging gays, etc., are viewed as if they come from the 7th Century. They do.

Dumb and dumber
Referring to the mess off the coast of Somali....
"We don't want to go back there," said presidential historian Thomas Alan Schwartz, a professor at Vanderbilt University. "This may be one of those points where Obama is going to have to cash in some of his international chips and get the U.N. to go in there."

You know, a few more statements like this one from a Vanderbilt professor and we can take Vanderbilt off the "elite" university list.
"Hey Prof! Even us hillbillies know that Obamie aint got no chips! UN or otherwise!
ACLU sues Muslim charter school
You would think this would be big news, but I heard not a peek from our fearless TV press.
A new ACLU law suit alleges that the Islamic Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy, a Minnesota Charter school, violates the laws that prohibit public schools from promoting religion. As we understand it from the press coverage, the school practices thinly disguised subterfuges, to cover up the fact that they are indeed a Muslim school with required religious training and rituals.
Link
From the complaint.
1. This is an action to obtain declaratory and injunctive relief establishing: that the operation and public funding of the Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (“TIZA”) is unconstitutional as a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution; and of Article 1, Sec. 16 and of Article 13, Sec. 2 of the Minnesota Constitution; and that the leasing of space by Muslim organizations to TIZA and the resulting transfer of state funds intended for the support of charter schools to such Muslim organizations through excessive lease payments also violates the Establishment clauses and Minnesota Stat. §124D.10. The American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota supports and promotes the free exercise of religion, including exercise expressed through schools founded upon Muslim or other religious practices. This Complaint is based upon the use of public funds to support such practices.
The question is, why does the ACLU have to sue? Why doesn't the state of Minnesota do its job and shut them down?
Survey says??? They're lefties!!!!
Loose lips sinks ships
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Navy is moving a huge amphibious ship closer to the scene of the pirate hostage standoff off Somalia.
Defense officials say the USS Boxer will be nearby soon. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss sensitive ship movements.
The Boxer is the flag ship for a multination anti-piracy task force (and) has a crew of more than 1,000, a mobile hospital, missile launchers and about two dozen helicopters and attack planes
Link
What is this? This increases the possibility of harm to all our military and the hostage. Somebody needs to go to prison for a very long time. Start with the source and then follow with some AP folks.
This follows right in line with the New York Times releasing the fact that we were following "the money." And the huge expose that we were listening in on terrorists conversations.
But these people don't see themselves as "Americans," but, like the Chosen One, think that they are "citizens of the world."
BTW - If you fail to understand why being "natural born" is a requirement to be President, watch the actions of Obamie who spent the first 10 years of his life in a Muslim country.... no matter where he was born.... We have long known that the early years of a child's life are critical in his actions in later years.
