Dr. Pipes asks:

The school is in huge demand, with a waiting list of 1,500. … TIZA has improved the reading and math performance of its mostly low-income students. That's commendable, but should Minnesota taxpayers be funding an Islamic public school?

NO. Plain and simple. The ends do not justify the means (although Islam teaches the opposite for the purposes of spreading itself).

Seriously, folks, if this were a Christian school, the ACLU would be filling up the Hennpin County courtroom schedule for the next month.
