Saudi textbooks: Still teaching hatred

By Alliance Alert

Nina Shea & Bonnie Alldredge writing at National Review Online: "Saudi textbooks teach, along with many other noxious lessons, that Jews and Christians are 'enemies,' and they dogmatically instruct that various groups of 'unbelievers' ? apostates (which includes Muslim moderates who reject Saudi Wahhabi doctrine), polytheists (which includes Shiites), and Jews ? should be killed. Under the Saudi Education Ministry?s method of rote learning, these teachings amount to indoctrination, starting in first grade and continuing through high school, where militant jihad on behalf of 'truth' is taught as a sacred duty. These textbooks are used not only in Saudi Arabia but in Saudi-funded schools around the world."
