Accused Terrorist Drafted America�s Public School Guidelines
Jen Shroder, 01/08/04
Abdurahman Alamoudi, arrested and accused of helping Osama bin Laden and Hamas, helped develop "Religious Expression in Public School" introduced and incorporated by President Clinton in 1995.
School districts were pressured to incorporate these "Presidential Guidelines" which were originally drafted as "Religion In The Public Schools: A Joint Statement Of Current Law" issued by groups including the American Muslim Council, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the ACLU which holds the copyright. President Clinton presented his version as "issued by 35 religious groups," failing to disclose that these "religious groups" are all described by the ACLU as committed to separation of church and state.
Abdurahman Alamoudi, currently incarcerated for terrorist ties, met often with then President and Hillary Clinton and has been described as Hillary�s friend and advisor on Islamic affairs. Protected by Clinton�s Presidential Guidelines, funding for Islamic educational materials poured in from Saudi Arabia and Muslim nations. Houghton Mifflin textbooks became saturated with Muslim beliefs as the Council of Islamic Education (CIE) helped write the textbook (originally denied until the publisher's Editorial Director was caught bragging about it in print).

Jailed Terror Suspect Helped ACLU Draft Schools' Anti-Christian Rules

WASHINGTON � Abdurahman Alamoudi, an alleged senior terrorist operative, is behind bars on an 18-count indictment. But he can take satisfaction in the fact that a court in California has just given the green light to schools following ACLU�s religion-in-the-classroom guidelines, which he helped to formulate.
A federal judge judge has now upheld the constitutionality of an intensive three-week course in California government schools that requires children to choose a Muslim name, wear Islamic garb, memorize verses from the Koraan, pray to Allah, play �jihad games, and simulate worship activities related to the Five Pillars of Islam.�
The next step: likely an appeal to the notoriously left-wing 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which deems the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional.
But hasn't American Civil Liberties Union lectured us that religious instruction in school violates what it describes as �separation of church and state� (a phrase that appears nowhere in the U.S. Constitution)? Read on. That injunction seems to depend on which religion is involved.

Jailed Clintonista Terror Suspect Helped ACLU Draft Schools' Anti-Christian Rules
WASHINGTON � NewsMax.com has learned that a public interest law firm plans to file an appeal �probably within the next 20 days� to overturn a federal judge�s decision upholding as constitutional the Islamic indoctrination of children in California's government schools.
Such schoolroom activities as praying to Allah and simulating Islamic worship are not �devotional activities,� District Judge Phyllis Hamilton decreed in a highly publicized lawsuit brought by Christian pupils and parents at Excelsior Elementary School in Byron, Calif.
