#1 âWe have to know more on whatâs going on in Islam

Agreed.

"which is no threat to western society,â

Oh, well, nice try, buster! We've already learned about taqiyya, according to first part of the sentence.

#4 Any chance they'll include a review of the textbooks the EU provided to the Palestinians? www.MEMRI.org translated the new textbooks not long ago, and "vicious" doesn't begin to describe them.

#5 Similarly, a number of participants have urged Muslim and Arab countries to clear their schoolbooks of âexaggerated fearsâ of the Other. Ashmawiâs study found that textbooks in Arab countries say, for example, that Moguls could have vanished all of the Muslim civilization if they were not defeated in Al-Quds. âThis is unjustified exaggeration that should be removed also,â she maintained.

Well, the Morguls did manage to kill off an increadibly large fraction of the civilian populations of what Moslem countries they did conquer. I'm not sure this is an exageration.

#6 Europe should review its schoolbooks on Islam as a good start for introducing the true image of the Muslimsâ religion, European experts recommended on Sunday, December 12.

Sounds like something the Paleos could use, but in their case, it's the stuff about everything else BUT Islam that needs to be checked for accuracy. Especially the writings about Jews, in particular.
