Islamic Propaganda and Controlling the Narrative in Local Schools: Dallas TX

Written by John Bennett

America is engaged in a war at the local level of our society.  Most people do not realize we are engaged in a war, nor that we are losing.

This war will be won or lost in local town councils, the media, and school classrooms. 

In 2004, during the US vs The Holy Land Foundation trial – the largest terrorism financing trial ever successfully prosecuted in American history, Northern District of Texas (Dallas) 2008 – evidence was presented revealing the Muslim Brotherhood in America clearly states the way they intend to destroy the United States in their strategy for North America:

“The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means.  The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.  Without this level of understanding, we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet.  It is a Muslim’s destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny…”

Evidence exists demonstrating the Muslim Brotherhood is successful in pursuing its stated goal of overthrowing the U.S. government (and therefore the Texas government) and replacing it with an Islamic State.

A large majority of the muslim organizations across the United States, and especially in the Dallas-Fort Worth Texas area, are controlled by or aligned with the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood (MB).

The primary way the U.S. MB advances its agenda is through indoctrination and propaganda, especially at the local level.

In February 2020, teacher Tracey Bishkin gave a presentation about the “Israeli-Palestinian” conflict at Lake Highlands High School in which she called the Israeli Prime Minister a terrorist but not Yasar Arafat. UTT’s John Guandolo spoke with Ms. Bishkin afterwards about her understanding, or lack thereof, of Islam and their global movement. See that video here.

In the Dallas area (March 2020), the Richardson Independent School District (ISD) superintendent, Dr. Jeannie Stone, was given an award by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Dallas.

One of the keynote speakers at the symposium honoring Dr. Stone was Mona Kazim Shah, and according to the press release for the event:

“Dr. Mona Kazim Shah, a Journalist and Human Rights Activist, discussed how she tries to promote peace through her work.”

UTT is curious to know what Dr. Shah means by “peace.”

Certainly, she is aware “peace” in Islam does not mean the same as it does in the western world.  In Islam “peace” is only achieved after the entire world submits to Islam and is governed by sharia.  As a matter of fact, in 1993 the entire muslim world – via the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation), the largest voting block in the UN which represents 56 Islamic nation states, and “Palestine” – is party to the Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam which states the entire muslim world ONLY understands “human rights” through the lens of sharia. Therefore, the entire muslim world is on record saying “human rights in Islam is the imposition of sharia on the world.”

Sharia obliges muslims to wage jihad against all non-muslims until sharia is the law of the land on the entire earth, and jihad is defined in sharia as “warfare against non muslims.”

In fact, according to the most authoritative hadith in Islam, Bukhari, Islam’s prophet, and “beautiful standard of conduct” for all muslims to follow, Mohammad said “I have been commanded to fight until they testify that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammed is the messenger of Allah.”

The press release for the Ahmadiyya event also stated, “(Dr. Mona Kazim Shah) has started a program called Project Pakistan which helps to promote dialogue on various human rights issues. When asked why she does this if it puts her family at risk, she replied that it was so her daughters could grow up in a better world”.

Does Dr. Shah understand sharia? She is a doctor so I am sure she is intelligent enough to understand what Sharia commands, so if she wants to truly protect her daughters so they can grow up in a better world, then she should be promoting anti-sharia views, not views that call for subjugation of women, female genital mutilation of girls, or the allowance of 6 year old Muslim girls to marry 60 year old Muslim men, which is all lawful in Islam.

Not only is it appalling the public school system in Dallas is allowing and promoting Islamic propaganda, but why would a mother who professes to want to protect her daughters be personally promoting and supporting sharia that will subjugate her own children?

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Women’s Auxiliary presented the award to Superintendent of Richardson ISD, Dr. Jeannie Stone because, according to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Women, Stone has worked along with her peers to promote the “Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Policy” in her district.

This policy was established to “eliminate any bias, prejudice, or unlawful discrimination that may affect student achievement and learning experiences.” 

I had to scratch my head on this statement. If Dr. Jeannie Stone truly wants to promote  “Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Policy” in her district and “eliminate any bias, prejudice, or unlawful discrimination” then why would she allow barbaric sharia to be promoted and celebrated in her school district? 

This is the same school district – Richardson Independent School District – that hosted Hadeal Al-Shammary in November 2019, who gave a presentation to students – also at Lake Highlands High School – on the topic of “Hijab of the Body and Heart.”

On its face, the presentation title sounds benign.

America was built upon many different peoples coming together for a common cause and open discussion is welcome and should be encouraged.

However, since the leaders of Lake Highlands High School, the superintendent of the Richardson ISD, and the Texas State Board of Education seem to be unaware of Islam’s purpose and what it commands muslims to do, one can only come to the conclusion they have no idea they are exposing Texas children to a very aggressive and dangerous doctrine on the subjugation of women in Islam as it is commanded by Allah in sharia. 

Normative and universally accepted Islamic principles – taught in Islamic schools around the United States and in Dallas, Texas – state the purpose of Islam is to submit the entire world to “Allah’s divine law” through all means necessary, including violence.

Given the fact the largest terrorism financing trial in U.S. history took place in Dallas, Texas and the Muslim Brotherhood states their goal is to use “OUR hands, and the hands of the believers (all Muslims) to destroy us from within” then surely someone has to be very concerned about the frequent visits by sharia-adherent muslims and their advocates inside Dallas schools?

According to a message posted by an attendee of the Lake Highland High School meeting where Hadeal Al-Shammary gave her presentation, “Having attended this meeting at Lake Highlands HS yesterday afternoon, I listened intently to the speaker spend the majority of her allotted time explaining the 5 pillars of Islam, quoting from the Koran and playing the call to prayer, before proclaiming that wearing of the hijab was a choice and that by wearing it, she actually was safe from being raped by Muslim men. She used the hijab to proselytize for Islam. She confused a young Muslim girl in the audience who said she was forced to wear the hijab and was not allowed a choice. Never was there a mention of the practices of female genital mutilation, child marriage, the slaying of gays or the stoning of women who show an arm or travel without male family members. The teacher associated with this event gave extra credit to her World History class. When two in the audience asked these hard questions, their questions were not answered and after 5 minutes all of a sudden they were ‘out of time.’”

All of the concerns brought up by this attendee about Islam are valid concerns.

Where are the other Richardson ISD parents and taxpayers?

This is the same Richardson ISD and Lake Highlands High School which hosted a presentation on the “Israeli-Palestinian Conflict” by one of its teachers who had no knowledge of sharia, treaties in Islam, nor the Cairo Declaration, all of which guide muslims’ understanding of relations with non-muslims. See the related UTT article about this here.

If Lake Highlands High School and the Richardson ISD want to promote and propagandize for Islam’s barbaric sharia under the guise of the Junior World Affairs Council, shouldn’t time be alloted for UTT team members to speak to students about what ten (10) year old muslim children are taught about Islam in Dallas Islamic schools?
