Daniel (and Kathy) Just Don't Get It

Obviously there is no point for a back and forth, but I just realized that Mr. Piipes didn't get the POINT of my post. I was trying to say that Family Security Matters.com was perverting this article by linking to it with "Teaching Terror."

This article simply identifies attempts to teach and spread Islam in public schools. Islam does NOT equal terror. Family Security Matters should be ashamed. As for the arguments that this is a subversion of public schools, as I said, Christians have been prothletizing in public schools since America was founded. There is a line (and often Christians cross it), but simple things, like donating books on your own religion to the public school library, HARDLY equates teaching terror. Kathy's attacks on me as undeserving of American citizenship is just silly. I'm sure if she re-read them she'd be embrassed for herself.
