Book Review: Book Vetted by Islamic Group
Summary: 1 Stars
You might want to read the Washington Times article on how certain public school history books are distorted by groups who get to decide what goes into them. In this particular case you have a muslim group with documented links to terrorist groups telling the publishers what to write concerning islam and other religions.
""Holt's World History," where one can read that Moses claimed to receive the Ten Commandments from God, but Muhammad simply "received" the Koran from God. In the textbook "Pearson's World Civilizations," the book instructs that Jesus of Nazareth is "believed by Christians to be the Messiah"- which would be a fine comparative religion study observation if the book didn't also disclose that Muhammad "received revelations from Allah."
...
"McDougal Littell's World Cultures and Geography," which relates that "Judaism is a story of exile" and that "Christians believe that Jesus was the promised Messiah," but that the Koran "is the collection of God's revelations to Muhammad." As "The Trouble with Textbooks" makes only too clear, one instance could perhaps be overlooked, but in fact there is a consistent, malicious practice that Islam - and only Islam - is repeatedly described in numerous prominent public school textbooks as historical truth. In those textbooks, Christianity and Judaism are equally consistently described as mere notions of their believers. "
