Zaytuna College – America’s First Islamic College has opened in Berkeley, CA
In Berkley, CA, a new college has opened this summer with a motto, “Where Islam meets America.”
The male students of the college are heavily bearded and the female students wear headscarf. The language in the college is Arabic.
Although, American history, anthropology, philosophy, literature and political science will be taught, the most part of the curriculum will be devoted to learning Quran and Islam.

Cool. Do I have to be a muslim to join the university? Unfortunately, I am a Kafir
No, you don't have to be a Muslim. But you do have to know how to draw a whole bunch of worms on the board.
And the teacher looks scary. What's up with those black rings around Muslim's eyes?
i assume science is not on the curriculam..how will they handle topics such as flying mules,splitting moons and sun's drowning in murky waters?

Islam will be a pain in the ass for this whole world. The rot is there it seems there is no solution now.

They will also teach "good' muslims on proper way that mo ham head cleaned his ass after shitting.
They should also be having classes on how to control a flying donkey.
Just some of things on the ciricullum.

PICKTHAL: Allah promiseth you much booty that ye will capture, and hath given you this in advance, and hath withheld men's hands from you, that it may be a token for the believers, and that He may guide you on a right path.
SHAKIR: Allah promised you many acquisitions which you will take, then He hastened on this one for you and held back the hands of men from you, and that it may be a sign for the believers and that He may guide you on a right path.

fwd:
I am Muslim from the UK but have worked in Kuwait teaching for 9 years. Whilst many of the comments in the article are valid – some are clearly biased and inaccurate.
"Indians, Palestinians, Egyptians, Lebanese, etc.– go to public schools" is incorrect. Government schools are ONLY for Kuwaitis… ALL other nationalities go to private schools.
I left the UK after being spat at in the street for wearing a scarf and the final straw was when a man tried to run me off the road whilst I was driving. I decided to work in a Muslim country. I am happy to say I haven't faced anything of this level in Kuwait – in fact I have seen extraordinary things happen….these are a few of my encounters:
I once left my keys in my car in a shopping mall car park ,and returned to find a respectable middle-aged Kuwaiti man waiting with keys in hand next to my car – who politely handed them over, smiled and suggested that I should be more careful (very true!)
Once I lost my purse in a restaurant, and returned the next day to find it there fully intact with money and credit cards – having been handed in.
I got a puncture on the highway and within 2 minutes a Kuwaiti soldier stopped and changed my tyre.
On another occasion I was lost in a less desirable residential area in Kuwait when I had a puncture, a Syrian man stopped, took my wheel, got the tyre repaired and fitted it back – refusing any money for the garage, and was very polite and respectful.
There are many good people in Kuwait, but sadly it is the bad ones that get the publicity. I don't think I would have had the same results or assistance had these events occurred in my home city in the UK!
The lifestyle for expat teachers is good in many ways. Back home I would not have been able to afford on my teacher's salary to: eat out regularly at fancy restaurants, have a membership at a hotel beach club, travel to the far east so cheaply… Although there is no home-mail delivery system in Kuwait – you never have to experience the constant barrage of bills for utilities, tax etc. arriving daily on your doormat and the rat-race pace of life trying to get through your days juggling work, childcare, and doing all those tasks to keep your household running… instead your free-time is your own…and you can easily afford to find someone to care for your children if you need to go out, get affordable help with the housework, have assistance with bagging your groceries and taking it to the car if you want.
Teachers often report that they do not have rights and had bad experiences. In one less reputable school I worked in, they refused to pay my end of service indemnity and to clear my paperwork. I went to the Ministry and got my rights – my money and my papers. Interestingly many other teachers in the same situation did not go to the Ministry… and did not get their rights … claiming they were scared to report the issue.
I also notice that on so many articles on this web site indicate that the schools have made rules and regulations that are unacceptable e.g.Al-Bayan, "restriction of speech"…. this does not come from the school….. it comes from the Ministry of Education's standard contract that everyone should have… the school did not create this… it is the law in the country for all schools, for Kuwaiti and expat employees alike. Maybe ISR admin should check the facts/law before publishing teacher's rantings and unfairly ruining the reputation of schools!
here is a wonderful article i found by walter sieruk.
'The Greek philosopher Plato is one of the contributors to Western Civilization. He may shed some light into the subject of those people who are shackled in the chains and darkness of Islamic thought. In Plato’s REPUBLIC he gave an allegory of a cave where “the condition of men living in a sort of cavernous chamber…Here they have been from childhood, chained by leg and also by the neck, so that they cannot move and see only what is in front of them.” This can fit into what the Imams do in the mosques and how they brainwash the young people in the madrassa’s by always programming Islamic doctrine into their victims and not exposing them to other worldviews. Furthermore, even in Islamic tradition when Muslims have their newborn child the father whispers words of the Quran into the infants ear so that that Quran verses are the first thing the newborn person hears. This programming process takes place all their lives. These are some of the chains that keep them bound in a mosque [cave]. The chains do not let them reach out for dialectic reasoning and let them examine the evidence both for as well as against, or even question whether Muhammad was a true prophet of God or not, and if the Quran is a hoax or not. As the chains and darkness of the cave blinds and holds the prisoners back from reality, so Islamic propaganda holds back the cognition to reason with the question if Islam is true or not. They are forbidden from even thinking to question Islam. Furthermore, if a Muslim by some miracle wakes up to the truth about Islam, it would be like the man in Plato’s cave allegory who was released from his chains and taken outside to the real world. At first direct light would be painful and disorienting, it would take some time for him to understand what the truth is all about, he even might cling to the shadows and still for a time believe some of the illusions to be real. But he would finally come to know “what he had formerly seen was meaningless illusion.” And that was “what passed for wisdom in his former dewelling-place.”And that the other cave prisoners also needed to see the light [the truth] for he “was sorry for them.” and he would re-enter the cave just to rescue them. Nevertheless, the cave prisoners wouldn’t understand and “if they could lay hand on the man who was trying to set them free.” And if they could “they would kill him.” Likewise, when someone escapes from the shackles of Islam, those still in the darkness of this religion would not understand and if possible kill him for leaving Islam, and even more so if he were to try to enlighten them about the truth about Islam. For these people in Islam are chained to an empty imitation of truth and godliness.'
no matter what education or lifestyle muslims have they will always be dwelling in the shadows of a false reality

This is very scary.
If we do not do something to prevent this.
We are all going to be lost to islam.
And America will cease to exist as we know it
the core agenda of islamic intentions is definately scary but it won't ever be able to take over the world.the reason for this is because as ali sina once said something along the lines of 'the light of truth will eventually penetrate the dark lies of islam'.
and i'll tell you something else i realised the hardest thing to do is to actually get into the mind of a muslim and make him/her confront his/her own conscience.the reason for this is because as soon as a muslim even just gets a sense that maybe their faith is being put in to question they suddenly go whacko and start cursing or simply stop talking and keep a vow of silence.
and the other thing i realised is that yes maybe there are some muslims who manage to break off from those chains of islam after taking that big step of questioning islam but not enough to change the world.that is a difficult process.
the vast majority of muslims would either find a reason to distract from the questioning or to simply break contact.
but i found a formula that seemed to work very well and i hope to maybe put it up on here when i get it done.it's nothing spectacularly eventchanging but what i managed to do is make every muslim i talked to online to start talking with me without using foul language and without even ignoring me when things got tough.and of course i didn't make any of them reject islam but what i did do is i humbled their islamic ego.
so i didn't knock any barriers but i did do my part in weakening their walls.i made them feel ashamed that they couldn't find answers to the way i put forward my questions.
i hope to have a template of sorts to show what approach i took because i think it would be helpful for anyone fedup of being made to run in circles when trying to debate islam with muslims.
truth agent, trust me, the hardest thing is to actually talk to non-muslim appeaser, (my female friend despite knowing men can mary 4 women and women only get 1/2 inheritance, still told me islam respect women rights ….#@$$!@$) wherease muslim, may be they brainwashed. whats your million dollar question anyway if you don't mind sharing?
hi ibnsahr
you made a good point that there are also non muslim appeasers who are very hard to talk to because they do not fully know the history of muhammed.but they are not of concern.they may be ignorant but they are not muslims.and yes the other point you made is that the problem with non muslim appeasers is that they are ignorant at some level that's for sure..muslim themselves are brainwashed because they cannot be ignorant of their own religion.they simply choose to subconciously lock away the bad actions of muhammed in the locked rooms of their minds.
and don't be mistaken my approach to treat muslims with rrespect and manners in order for them to open up is a worthwhile effort.it is human nature for people to not open up to someone that may seem threatening.and also it is human nature that if you are in the presence of someone who shows you great human virtues like simple manners and courtesy it kind of throw the ball in their court and they are forced to react in a likeminded fashion,it has worked i've tried it.
sorry i must go i'll fill in more details later
Truth agent, thanks for reply.., im a bit disagree with you about the non-mulim as they are my main concern, the very people who accommodate and bent over backward over the demand from the muslims, the very people that couldn’t understand the terrorist and so called moderate muslim are reading the same verses from the same quran.
I agree with you treating the opponent with respect and manner, but it only apply to more educated ones who exposed to western value and used to with western society, yeah its good, we approach them with all sort of angle that suit their background, and most important we need well equip with islamic knowledge, anyway well done, keep up the good work and all the best
thanks for your reply ibnsahr…yes it is vital to equip oneself with islamic knowledge.as i was saying an open debate is not always easy with a muslim.firstly because islam is full of holes it is a natural reflex of a muslim to try to use distraction tactics.
this is the approach i use so far and it seems to be working ok.
i introduce myself as someone who kept being encouraged to learn about islam by muslms at a stall they had setup and proceeded to take their word for it and started to obtain knowledge about islam and upon learning it i discovered that some aspects made no sense and would like to get confrimation or more details.this shows i have a genuine interest and not out to mock islam.
naturally they say ask anything that concerns you.
so this is the question i put forward to them.
i ask them which is greater ?logic or no logic?
and obviously they will answer logic.
so i ask them is it logical to believe in a creature not smaller than a donkey but not bigger than a mule,with wings,a women's head and a peacocks tail.
this pretty much proves the falsity of islam in one sweep.because never has a muslim said that it is logical.but also never have they said that it is illogical.
now most usually the response a muslim would give to this question is to not answer at all but to rather begin to question my credentials.
in other words they look for bias.they ask perhaps i am a jew or an atheist.
the reply to this is always this.that i have christian parents but i have no faith in any manmade religions but also i believe in the probabilty in the existence of a god or a creator.the reason for this is because from henceforth i cannot be accused of being biased because i am a jew or a christian or an athiest.and i clarify with them that i am merely searching for the truth and if i see it i am open to conversion.
the funny thing about this is that although a muslim will proclaim a person of another belief to be biased negatively towards islam he will not see that he will naturally be biased in favour of islam,therefore anything he says will stem from bias and not from an open heart or an open mind.
of course once this is out of the way the muslim will continue to 'teach' me that i have been getting the wrong information and i need to talk to muslim scholars and imams.
to which i reply that i try my utmost to get all my information from islamic websites and books such as the hadith.and that so far all the muslims i have talked with have agreed that muhammed did fly on a flying creature with wings and after went to heaven where god told him about the 5 prayers and he even went hell and saw that the majority of the population in hell were women (when partucularly telling this part to muslim women the silence and tension is rather strong).
some muslims will from hereforth change the debate to other topics or start abuse.others will point out that not all hadiths are reliable,that there are weak hadiths indicating that some hadiths could be lies.
to this i reply if it were not for al sira and al miraj,and muhammed flying on a creature with wings he would not have been able to tell muslims about how many times they need to pray.so this stroy has to be regarded as truth.
and i add a little extra and let them know that when muhammed started telling this story to his fellow muslims when he came back no one believed him until his uncle or whoever said something like 'if my nephew says it happened,than it happened'.
and only than did the others take his word for it.
and i ask the muslim that is not the sign of a prophet..but rather a sign of a very smart man.at this stage the word smart is no longer considered a compliment to a muslim.
and after this there is perhaps more mumbling about not having the right information to which the reply is 'if all this is wrong than why is it in hadiths.if it is weak or false than why don't muslim scholars delete all these lies about their prophet?'
in addition to this i must also add this..i ask them 'did you know that although most of the time alot of stuff that muhammed saw was without the presence of witnesses,there was one time that someone other than muhammed saw the angel gabriel.'
and almost all muslims will say no they don't know.
and i will continue 'muhamed and ayesha his childbride were siting in the same room and muhammed says 'the angel gabriel is here and he says hello to you'
and i ask them do you know what she said and naturally almost all muslims will say no and a few genuinely didn't know;
and i tell them 'she said something along the lines of 'i don't see what you see but ok'
and conclude that this is another example of people just taking his word for it just like the flying crature with wings story.
if gabriel was right there,there is no reason why he couldn't say hello to her himself if he wanted to have his presence known.
this approach goes even further and moving onto the topics of ayeshas age and zenib his adopted sons wife and safia the teenager he married on the same day muhammeds soldiers killed her husband.but thus far a muslim will never be able to put muhammed in a good light.i even had a woman from saudi who i cornered into saying that if her 9 year iold daughter were to be married to muhammed she would say yes yes and yes again.to which i replied 'well little girls are getting married to old men nowadays because they say there is nothing wrong in it.do you think that is a good example he left us?
