In the UK, a Government backed study has unearthed a disturbing trend. Looks like teachers in the UK are ditching the teaching of the Holocaust and the Crusades in order to, get this point properly, “avoid offending Muslim students.”
Sometimes I think the English are a little challenged when it comes to grey matter between their ears. Maybe it’s got to do something with all the fog they have over there. This information comes from a news item on the Religion news Blog and can be found here.
I mean come on. Seriously. To stop teaching historical fact to avoid offending Muslim students is pushing the boundaries of political correctness. Just tonight at a BBQ, I was talking to a guy studying International Terrorism and he explained to me what is shared in a Mosque in a mainstream highly respected university in Australia.
In english, the teacher dude would talk about how the west is waging a new crusade against Islam and how Muslims around the world need to unite to fight this cause. This in down town Melbourne, Australia - in english.
I have another friend who was a Bosnian Muslim and converted to Christianity recently. I asked him why a Muslim would convert to Christianity and his answer gave me insight. He said, “I got sick and tired of going from one mosque to another where all they preached was how we are the victims of the West.” He wanted to know about God. He ended up listening to “Victim Mentality” preaching. He left, and found Jesus.
But what frustrates me more than anything in this story is that teachers don’t think twice before they teach evolution. They don’t give a flying monkey that this teaching completely contradicts the Bible (and modern science for that matter) and what many of their students are taught at Church.
And the simple reason they don’t care is that Christian students are unlikely to bomb their house if they teach other wise. Muslim student’s on the other hand, are another story.
To you liberals rolling your eyes by now, do me a favour and stop rolling them. I don’t have enough insurance to cover your medical expenses. I don’t preach ignorance. I don’t preach hate. I don’t preach at all. I call a spade a spade. And if I’m wrong, well that’s ok cause I’m just a lay guy.
Great post lay guy! What a world we live in.
We spent some time in two muslim nations in 05 and 06 and I tell you, I thank the Lord I was not born in one, especially not as a woman.
To be manipulated by the histrionic fits of Muslims whenever they perceive an injustice is done, is sheer stupidity.
But what do I know? I’m just a woman who loves Jesus.
Blessings to you, I enjoyed your blog!

Urban Legends has posted that this story is false. This too is political correctness as it omits a number of facts and minimises the significance of the story.
I totally agree. Political corectness is totally overboard. Everyone is so worried about doing something that will upset the minority that you actually cant do anything. So what, who cares, do what is best for you and your people and forget the minorities. And it is not just political correctness, it is everything. Donkey races where kids raced the donkeys at a fair for fun are banned in case a kid gets hurt but they have been doing it for years. One parent cant take 2 small kids to a public pool because it is deemed to dangerous come on now. Prisoners who have more rights and better treatment then the wardens stuff them they did wrong they need to suffer.
this world is becomming a joke and all this correctness is going to blow up in all our faces very soon
