British Schools Drop Holocaust and Crusades

A quote from the Daily Mail, 2 April 2007

Schools are dropping the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, a Governmentbacked study has revealed.

It found some teachers are reluctant to cover the atrocity for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial. There is also resistance to tackling the 11th century Crusades – where Christians fought Muslim armies for control of Jerusalem – because lessons often contradict what is taught in local mosques.

Amsterdamsky: "More Jewish supremist propaganda."

 

So you are unconcerned that history is being revised to suit Muslim sensibilities?

 

Amsterdamsky: "The real issue here is addressing the Israeli-Pali conflict/land grab which was probably being taught from the traditional perspective of the jews being complete and total victims."

 

One cannot choose which histories to revise and which not to, nor can one eliminate bias.

 

Amsterdamsky: "This probably doesn't sell well to muslim immigrants."

 

Does the British education system exist to "sell" itself to Muslim immigrants?

 

Amsterdamsky: "While I admit this is mostly true in regards to europe what came after when these european refugees then founded/stole Palistinian land that they claim was the "Promised Land" and ruthlessly ethnically cleansed the entire region and set up an apartheidlike system complete with border walls all because of their Holy Book (that of course they wrote themselves) and their imaginary g-d said it was OK, just and rightous."

 

The Jews were no worse than the Palestinians; the difference was that the Palestinians lost and thus were not able to conduct ethnic cleansing to the same degree as the Jews did. Although the flood of European Jewry to the Palestinian Mandate lent Israel an air of illegitimacy (i.e. that Palestinian land was being appropriated by Europeans on behalf of Europeans for European reasons), Israel is the ancestral homeland of world Jewry and Jews have always dwelt there even in small numbers. The Israeli state should have been constructed along Lebanese lines (with regard to power-sharing, representation, etc.), however, after the experience of the Shoah, it is unlikely that the Zionists wanted to be at anyone's mercy. Nor were the Palestinians particularly compromising.

More Jewish supremist

More Jewish supremist propaganda.  The real issue here is addressing the Israeli-Pali conflict/land grab which was probably being taught from the traditional perspective of the jews being complete and total victims.  This probably doesn't sell well to muslim immigrants. While I admit this is mostly true in regards to europe what came after when these european refugees then founded/stole Palistinian land that they claim was the "Promised Land" and ruthlessly ethnically cleansed the entire region and set up an apartheidlike system complete with border walls all because of their Holy Book (that of course they wrote themselves) and their imaginary g-d said it was OK, just and rightous.

In Response

Although at first glance this news is horrifying, one cannot remove it from the context of some schools and some teachers. There is no totalitarian force at work here attempting to revise the past; rather what is occurring in the United Kingdom, England in particular, is "grassroots" segregation. Unlike the United States, however, this is "equal and separate;" why should the public education system and educators face legal challenges and all sorts of harassment and political activism on the part of communities entirely consisting of Muslims?

 

Multiculturalism is pursued when assimilationism is perceived to be impossible; unfortunately, it only postpones the inevitable cultural collision.

What puzzles me is.....

.....the majority of our Jewish cousins continue to be politcally liberal and support politically liberal/leftist people, when these same people are constantly throwing them under the PC bus!.....Especially when it pertains to anything Islam......To all of you Jewish members of the blog, can you explain your logic regarding this????.....Also, what is taught in the Mosques are lies 100 percent of the time....Lies that promote hatred.......The schools won't teach the truth, then I guess it's up to the parents....At least the non-muslim parents anyway!.....Just another nail in the UK/EU PC coffin!......

 

 

Truth

So the good-for-nothing violent muslims gained the sensoring power in Europe. Truth is discarded in favor of apeasement toward the troublesome minority.

What happened to Western civilization's ideals?

Almost 2000 years ago, Jesus was killed because he spoke the truth. Now again governments and people in positions of power prefer lies to truth. How sad.
