Kesher Talk

Local Islamic centers' dystopia: Josh Kraushaar writes about an Islamic Education Center near him in Potomac, Maryland, concerned about the anti-American and anti-Israeli teachings.

Instead of bending over backwards, as the Sephardic Jews did in France to gain the acceptance of their Christian peers, it seems that Islamic groups are making every attempt to avoid being a part of America. It's not a matter of assimilation, which some view as abandoning religious practices and becoming entirely secular. It's about integration -- about not promising students with divine providence if they "struggle against the U.S." Is that so hard to ask?
