Jewish Woman Taking Over at Arabic-Language School
in response to reader comment: Why not hire someone fluent in Arabic who is not a practicing Muslim?

Submitted by Amomin, NJ, Sep 28, 2007 04:35

What is necessary in this regard is to NOT appease radical Islam and to NOT establish a school to indoctrinate youth to hate and destroy the country that is giving them refuge and opportunity for education and progress and CHOICE. That having already been done in the creation of Khalil Gibran school, the worry may be to find someone, as Gretchen suggests, fluent in Arabic whose educational and spiritual goals do not include jihad against the U.S., perhaps a retired U.S. government specialist who speaks Arabic and would not be intimidated by the pressures of Islam. Best of luck (providence) in your search.
