Some school districts have allowed and even demanded that courses in Islam be taught. It was reported that Osama Bin Lauden (sp) rejoiced that since the attack there has been a growth of Islam in America. Apparently a justification for the attacks themselves. This mentality has led to the liberal media to back off of anything resembling a critique of Islam, ie. not many dared to print the Danish cartoons in their publications. Even Clinton decried the cartoons while in Pakistan calling for the prosecution of the publishers. Meanwhile Christian bashing is popular with the very same media. Go figure!
