Promoting Islam in the public schools

This posting is a followup to the October 27, 2004 posting Northern Virginiastan: "Muliticultural trainer" Afeefa Syeed responds.

The indefatigable Daniel Pipes has an article on Spreading Islam in American Public Schools which points to Islamic web sites that provide information on both covert and overt ways of proselytizing in the public schools. Among the ways suggested is explaining Ramadan to students. It makes Mrs. Syeed's claim that "proselytizing is not an objective of these presentations, and is not fundamental to our practice of the faith [Islam]" even more suspect.
