|
WASHINGTON (BP)--An Islamic academy in Northern Virginia plans to revise before the new school year textbooks that reportedly advocate violence against non-Muslims and some Muslims, a school spokesman has said.
The Islamic Saudi Academy's head of Muslim teachings made the comment to the Cybercast News Service (CNS News) June 17, less than a week after a United States panel called for the reforms. The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) issued an eight-page report June 11 on the curriculum, citing some examples of passages it said promote violence and intolerance.
