WASHINGTON: Parents raise Hell over CAIR request to teach Islam in public schools


HAMAS-linked CAIR-The Council of America Islamic Relations says it presented the Puyallup School District with a request to brainwash young students with propaganda about Islam and the Muslim religion as a way to ease fears and ‘educate’ students.

KOMO NEWS CAIR also made a request to the Puyallup School District for special accommodations for Muslim children during Ramadan and other holidays.

Dozens of parents say if one organization is allowed to come into the classroom and teach their children about the Muslim religion, then all religions should be represented. At a town hall meeting on Tuesday night, the parents’ message was clear: they don’t want religion being taught in public schools. ”Muslims are welcome here, but if you’re going to be here, you get in line and become American first,” said parent Lisa Hedger.

Pierce County ACT! For America, an organization dedicated to concerned citizens and parents who feel CAIR has ulterior motives, says, ”For America’s sake, we don’t think that it’s fair that Islam gets a pass and the other religions don’t, but also because CAIR is a front for the Muslim brotherhood,”said group member Kerry Hooks. “We have a real problem with organizations with ties to terrorism that come into the public schools.”

VIDEO: Four Army Aviators Dead After Two Military Helicopters Crash in Washington State




RAINIER, Wash. – Four Army aviators were killed after two Army helicopters crashed in an aviation training area at Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington State, the base confirmed in a press release.

Two other people were injured. The names of the dead and injured have not been released pending notification of their families, per Defense Department policy.

It was not immediately clear whether the aircraft collided or crashed separately.

"We don't have details on what actually occurred," base spokesman J.C. Mathews said. "That will be part of the investigation."

The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopters were on a training mission, Mathews said.

The Kiowa Warrior is a single-engine, four-bladed aircraft used for armed reconnaissance, Mathews said. It's often called a scout helicopter.

The crash site is geographically closest to the civilian community of Rainier, which is south of Tacoma.

"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends and loved ones of the Soldiers involved in this tragic accident," said Major General Lloyd Miles, acting senior Army commander at JBLM and deputy commanding general of I Corps. "We will conduct a thorough investigation into this incident, and we will do everything in our power to support the families of the brave Soldiers who died this evening."

Joint Base Lewis-McChord is one of the largest bases in the country, with about 100,000 military and civilian personnel.
