There's a controversy unfolding in England right now about an Islamic school that admits that it uses textbooks that describe Jews as "apes" and Christians as "pigs." The principal, Dr Sumaya Alyusuf, is refusing to stop using the books.
The school is funded by the Saudi government.

This will not be the most subtle of diaries, because the gist of this situation is quite simple: this sort of "education" is unacceptable.
If the Saudis claim to be our allies, they need to stop funding schools that teach bigotry and that dehumanize non-Muslims.
The Muslim community should also speak out against "education" of this kind.
It makes it difficult to promote tolerance and peace if the next generation is having this kind of hate spewed at them.
I'd like to see Congress look into whether the Saudi government is in fact funding education of this kind--the Bush Administration is too close to the Saudis to be trusted on this.
