Mosque Shock: School Rocked by Field Trip Vid of Kids Bowing to Allah

I had the pleasure of visiting several mosques in Turkey while on a Mediterranean cruise. During these tours we were never encouraged to join in prayers. We were however able to view the beautiful architecture of the mosque but at no time did I feel that the reason we were being allowed to tour the mosque was to convert us. 

As a child I too went on field trips to houses of worship, including the Old North Church in Boston and Torah, the oldest Synagogue in America. While we were at the Synagogue all the boys wore yamchas out of respect and the girls put on shawls to cover their arms. But at no time during either field trip were we encouraged to pray.

Muslims, such as the one's at this mosque, are using Americans desire to be politically correct to proselytize and if we call foul we are labeled as bigots. Clearly this mosque orchestrated the field trip to influence these children's view of Islam. I hope the school will revisit its policy and do further research before allowing kids to attend these types of events. I don't have an issue with students learning about religion in schools nor do I have an issue with them visiting a a house of worship be it Christian, Jewish or Muslim to learn about history and religion's effect on history. 

However, it seems rather clear that this Mosque's connections to terrorism make it a bad choice for anyone to attend especially students.

Mosque Shock: School Rocked by Field Trip Vid of Kids Bowing to Allah

Americans for Peace and Tolerance released a video showing 6th graders from Wellesley, MA as they rise from prostrating themselves alongside Muslim men in a prayer to Allah while on a public school field trip to the largest mosque in the Northeast. Teachers did not intervene. Parents have not been told.

The video was taken inside the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center – Boston’s controversial Saudi-funded mega-mosque – during a Wellesley Middle School social studies trip to the mosque, ostensibly taken to learn about the history of Islam first-hand. Yet the video reveals that the students are being blatantly mis-educated about Islam. A mosque spokesperson is seen teaching the children that in Mohammed’s 7th century Arabia women were allowed to vote, while in America women only gained that right a hundred years ago. This seems to be an increasingly recurring theme in American schools – the denigration of western civilization and the glorification of Islamic history and values. In fact, just recently, the American Textbook Council revealed that the New York State high school regents exam whitewashes the atrocities that occurred during the imperialistic Islamic conquest of Christian Byzantium, Persia, the African continent, and the Indian subcontinent, even as it demonizes European colonialism in South America.
