Radical
Islamic Schools Now Thriving
Throughout
America
Turkish Muslims, under the
leadership of
Fethullah Gulen, have established
over 85
madrassahs (Islamic schools)
throughout the United States to
further the
cause of radical Islam. The
madrassahs, set
up as “charter
schools,”
receive millions from U.S. taxpayers
and
serve to promote “education jihad”
by
radicalizing students
to promote a universal caliphate.
How
dangerous are the Gulen schools?
Consider
Tarek ibn Ziyad (TIZA) Academy in
Inner
Grove Heights, Minnesota – a charter
school with 300 students
– almost all Muslims. TIZA was
established
in 2003, and received $4.7 million
from
Minnesota taxpayers in 2008 –
2009. It
is named after Tarek ibn Ziyas, the
Muslim
warlord who conquered Spain.
Students at
TIZA pray Islamic prayers; the
cafeteria
serves halal food; and Islamic
studies are
held within the building every day.
The
entranceway is inscribed with
passages from
the Koran and the Hadith. Recently, a
TIZA teacher testified that one of
her
duties was taking the female
students to the
restroom in order to supervise their
ritual
washing before the Friday prayer
service.
