Hundreds of Muslim parents at a Ham Lake, Minnesota charter school are threatening to pull their children out of school if the administration does not remove LGBTQ+ children’s books from the age-appropriate K-5 anti-bias curriculum.

Almost 200 Da Vinci Academy students (out of around 1000 total) were already kept home in a four-day attendance strike that executive director Holly Fischer told the Sahan Journal was “assumed due to this issue.”

At a September board meeting, Fischer told parents the anti-bias curriculum came about as a result of the fact that students were struggling with kindness and empathy after returning to school from the pandemic.

Fischer also reminded parents of the Minnesota law that allows parents and legal guardians to opt their child out of school material they object to and work with the school to create “alternative instruction.”

Fischer reportedly emailed parents on October 1 to say that “the curriculum in question” is not on the agenda for several weeks and in the meantime, the administration will be ordering “more replacement curriculum to support students who have opted out.”

The anti-bias curriculum was created by the local nonprofit AmazeWorks. Of the 120 books involved, 24 contain LGBTQ+ characters.

AmazeWorks executive director Rebecca Slaby said the books help the kids “have more empathy for each other because they’re engaging in multiple perspectives, and they’re learning about each other as well.”

“Kids need to see themselves reflected positively in the curriculum,” Slaby said. “And they also need a window into the lives of people who are different from them.”

But several Muslim parents at the school disagree, arguing that teaching LGBTQ+ issues at school violates their parental rights.

At the September board meeting, Aboubakr Mekrami reportedly declared, “We teach our children to basically respect others. However, when the topic of LGBT comes up, we strongly believe that we need to be the ones who approach it and teach it to our children based on our beliefs. This is a fundamental belief for us, and one in which we have no wiggle room. We strongly object to this optional LGBT curriculum being used in the classroom.”

He then claimed it “is not about book banning or excluding anybody.”

“We are not against diversity, equity, and inclusion, but the way this should be presented should ensure that different beliefs are respected. We need to be authentic to our beliefs. And if we don’t feel like we are getting our needs met, families may leave.” 

Another parent, Amna Soussi, claimed the books would cause children stress and anxiety “because it goes against our fundamental beliefs.”

“Why put your school at a risk of losing over 135 students because of this?” she said. “This will affect the school’s enrollment. It’s going to throw a curveball in your funding.”

Hannah Dalske, who teaches gifted and talented classes at the school, spoke in support of the inclusive materials, citing the death of a boy she went to high school with due to the “sheer volume of bullying he endured for being an openly queer male in [a school that] had a no-tolerance policy.”

Dalske added that the AmazeWorks curriculum at Da Vinci is “the school deciding to be part of a solution – a solution we desperately need.”

Fischer is arranging a meeting with Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which is representing the parents.

Underneath the positions of pro-Palestinian progressive Westerners lies a conglomerate of presuppositions and assumptions that are rarely openly discussed or mentioned. One of such major presuppositions is that Palestinian terrorism, the indiscriminate murderous violence /1

targeting mostly defenseless Jewish civilians, is a core part of the Palestinian identity and a normative Palestinian behavior to be expected. As such, this behavior can not be blamed on Palestinian society or institutions but on Israel and Israeli action, which controls the /2

structure of power from which the Palestinian identity emerged. In this position, highly intelligent people discover the most troubling aspect of the conflict but only to dismiss it. This form of humanistic bigotry against the Palestinians came to justify their worst /3

inclination and disregard the lives of Israeli Jews, ending up being one of the most dehumanizing positions towards Israelis and Palestinians. This position is not new but has become a core intellectual habit of the international left since the canonization of the works of /4

Frantz Fanon as a Bible of decolonization. According to Fanon, the murderous rampage of the colonized man against the colonizer is the quintessential act of self-liberation. The blaze of wrath and anger that ends in murder is nothing but the birth pains of freedom. In other /5

words, the struggle, no matter how violent or extreme, is an existential condition and an ontological urgency. These ideas, which started in the circles of the French Left in the 1950s to justify Algerian acts of extreme violence against the French colony, became a solid part /6

of the international left, taught in the most prestigious academic institutions to generations of leftist activists, journalists, professors, politicians, and others. These ideas, the epitome of dehumanization and pathological misanthropy, were not born yesterday and are /7

parts of the major intellectual edifice of leftists' social and political thought. The proliferation of such intellectual pathologies is what ultimately enables armies of American and European journalists, diplomats, aid workers, NGO officials, and others to totally accept /8

the prevalence of violence, icons of death, and the valorization of cruelty in Palestinian culture, both popular and high, and in education. This leads to the interesting simultaneous recognition and dismissal of the most central problem of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, /9

the absolute and final negation of Zionism, by any means necessary, as the central ideological content of the Palestinian identity and its symbols. The final result is an international behemoth made of international institutional structures established and financed to /10

purportedly solve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict while, in effect, ignoring its core issue. Palestinian media, religious, political, and educational institutions are left to daily indoctrinate members of the Palestinian society into believing that the meaning of their /11

identity is existential victimhood which could be exited only through the total and complete destruction of Israel done by way of blood, death, and sacrifice. Anyone who dares to examine Palestinian education, media, literature, poetry, music, etc., would not be able to ignore/12

the unsubtle presence of such violent ideas in Palestinian national symbolism and Palestinian self-image. This is ultimately the root cause of the total insolubility of the conflict. Until this conversation becomes a central component of any efforts seeking peace and /13

stability, the problems of terror, violence, the loss of innocent Jewish lives, and the indoctrination of Palestinian youth will continue.

I also would not be honest if I don't address the other side of the coin, the people with whom I stand on most issues, the pro-Israel camp. Many in that camp do see with clearer vision the problem with Palestinian identity and its content of terrorism. Yet, they refuse to make /

any distinction between the Palestinians as humans and the Palestinians as Palestinians. That is, they accept to see the Palestinians exactly the way Palestinian radicalism insists on seeing the Palestinians, walking landmines waiting to explode to totally erase Jewish existence.

They accept the Palestinian self-dehumanization as the ontological truth of the Palestinians: final, exclusive, and irreversible, and not as humans who are trapped into a terrible story made up by generations of mad intellectuals and sadistic tyrants. This leaves nothing but a

a security problem against which Israel must remain strong. No will, no wish, no effort, and no thought are spent about the possibility of helping the Palestinians wake up from their self-imposed nightmare and discover a different way to be Palestinian. Just to reiterate,

I'm not talking here of people who think, feel and talk only in leftist cliches. Those don't see or understand such complex problems anyways. I'm talking about the non-cliche ones who despite understanding the monumental weight of culture and identity refuse to deal with

them seriously.

The Liberation of the Arabs From the Global Left

The exploitation of the intellectual and political energies of Arab societies as ammunition in the ideological battles of the left has had disastrous effects on the region

BYHUSSEIN ABOUBAKR MANSOUR

Es ist eigentlich unfassbar, wie eine Linke ganz offenen Zugang zu der historischen Mörderallianz der Nazis mit dem sich sozial-revolutionär als Erneuerungsbewegung formierenden radikalen Islam hatte und diese Einsicht bereits ein knappes Jahrzehnt später wieder zugunsten eines von postkolonialer und anti-imperialistischer French Theory durchdrungenen Antizionismus verdrängt wurde. In der Folge ging es nur noch um den von der globalen Linken vollzogenen Turn zur Befreiung der Dritten Welt mit sein Hang zum bewaffneten Kampf unter der Ägide sozialer Gerechtigkeit für die unterdrückten Völker und “Verdammten dieser Erde” - Franz Fanon, Sayyid Qutb, Fayez Sayegh und auch Edward Said sind hier wohl die grossen “intellektuellen Stichwortgeber”, die diese perfide Fusion überhaupt ermöglicht haben. Gegenwärtig co-existieren also Naziideologie und linker Revolutionskitsch in versöhnter Weise in der arabischen Welt. Vollkommen irre. Ein guter Text zum Zustand linker Theorie des Okzidents im dekolonisierten Orient:

[msclaritea]

"I hope all the liberals awakened by the events of the last week, including liberal Jews, now know why it's a very bad idea to ally with Marxist, Marxian, Marxist-light, post-Marxist, meta-Marxist, or Marxist-adjacent, and their Islamist parallel, movements and ideas in any context. Be liberal. Indeed, be very liberal if you want to. Vote Democrat even if the candidate was a lame chicken, but no Marxism/Islamism. Not against the common foes of social reaction, to fight against religious fundamentalism, to fight for more personal freedoms or other social goods. Those are irredeemable ideas and they could, indeed they will, irreversibly corrupt more than help."

Yes, what he said. The Social Dems, the Champagne Socialists at MSNBC, all of them are poisonous. The elders always set up the next generation of parasites to take us down. Don't let them, this time.

The Slogan ‘Free Palestine’ Always Implies Mass Murder of Jews

Hussein Aboubakr Mansour in Tablet Magazine:“Free Palestine”—the slogan, the fantasy, and the policy—has always consciously implied the mass murder of Jews in their towns, streets, shops, and living rooms. Few are willing to say so openly, but in many intellectual, professional, and popular circles in the Middle East and the West, the idea of Palestinian national liberation has long been framed in terms that condone or necessitate the indiscriminate killing of Jews. http://aqurette.blog/SxFhLR

Hussein Aboubakr Mansour

@HusseinAboubak

The fantasy of liberating and free Palestine always included the idea of the indiscriminate mass murder of Jews in their towns, streets, shops, and living rooms. Living in Egypt for 23 years, I grew up in a general culture in which a good portion of political and religious moral identity and thinking during my upbringing revolved around Palestine. Every Arab and Muslim who is honest with themselves knows this! Those who follow me know I have dedicated a good part of my life to track, understand, and combat this fantasy. Since then, I have located the origins of these murderous fantasies, the antisemitism, and the mass political nightmare in 19th-century German political theory and not in something inherent to Islam itself or Arab culture. Regardless, none of this changes the fact that this way of thinking is too prevalent and too common, systematically legitimated, supported, and defended by Western liberal and leftist academic and political institutions. The images we saw were no doubt a glimpse of how such a fantasy would look in reality. This much is clear from the enthusiastic reactions from far too many people, which is a cruel reminder of how much such antisemitism is widespread spread, particularly among Arab and Muslim societies and communities. Most of the reaction, or the lack thereof, from the Abraham Accord countries was an utter disappointment and helped to solidify a conclusion that has been dawning on me, yet I have been resisting for some time: this was much less about a new Arab internalization of values of human life or human rights, or some new enlightening understanding religion, God, man, or his place in the cosmos than it was about strategy, economy, technology, and prosperity very narrowly and exclusively understood as economic development. These people want to make money and thus most of their concerns currently have to do with the possible strategic and regional fallout, instability, etc. than the continuation of a dehumanizing culture and mass atrocities in the Middle East, "the Europe of the 21st century." These tendencies among the new generation of GCC professional pundits, commentators, officials, etc. were sadly mostly enforced by their Western education and value-free liberal education. In this, I can unironically say they are the last liberals. Where do we go from here? I do not know. But I know one thing: what I wish to see from a lot of my young, multi-lingual, Western-educated Arab and Muslim friends. We, and I'm one of you, made it to the Western middle class. We have prodigious education and good careers, and we genuinely feel that his new cosmopolitan professional class is where we truly belong. But we also know where we came from, and we sometimes, even secretly, we are ashamed of things to which we do not want to look back. We see the chauvinism, the antisemitism, and the insanity, and we cringe. It's easier for us to look forward than backward. It's easier to understand the world, to engage with it, to explain it, or to pretend to explain it, with the symbols and slogans of the social world to which we want to belong, not the one we want to leave. Thus, we dismiss, we explain away, we make moral equivalency, and we pretend, not necessarily because we are deceptive, but because we feel otherwise, we are helpless. I'm not asking you to love Israel. If you are critical of Israel and think there should be a Palestine, please continue to do so. But all I ask you is to be courageous and not pretend that the murder, the abuse of women, and the kidnapping we all saw is not an accurate representation of a catastrophic moral system, which we all know very well is all too common and in need of honest conversations and serious attention. Stop lying to yourself and lets talk about how to change this.

Life has taken a positive turn for three expats from three countries – thanks to Oman’s green initiative, the O! Millionaire draw

Aboubakr Abdulkader is originally from Thrissur, in the Indian state of Kerala. Joy knew no bounds when he received the news that he was a winner of OMR 10,000 at the special draw. The man, who has been eking out a living filling fuel for the last 20 years in Oman, says the win is super special.

“I consider myself very lucky by the grace of God. I purchased the green certificate for the first time and turned into a winner right away. I believe the money will change my life forever,” he explains.

The first person Aboubakr called after winning was his daughter – he plans to use the money for her education. In addition, he wants to support his family members who backed him during his early years of struggle.

Aboubakr, who got to know of the green initiative through YouTube, urges everyone to participate and support a worthy green dream that O! Millionaire aspires to achieve.

He thanks O! Millionaire for conceptualizing the cause that will change the world for the better.

O! Millionaire special draw winner, Tarun Sharma can’t begin to describe how life has changed for him since he won the weekly draw of OMR 10,000.

The Indian expat who now works in UAE says, “I was struggling for a big break for the last three years. I lost my job during COVID-19 but had to pay rent and send money to India too. Though I got a job, I took a personal loan from India to meet ends meet. It was difficult to repay as I was earning less. The win has helped me clear my loans and inspired me to book a new house too.”

Like Aboubakr, Tarun heard of O! Millionaire through social media. He registered and participated in the draw and immediately won.

He says, “When they called to say I won, I double checked to confirm, then called my family who thought I was joking. When I said it was real, my mom started crying. The entire family was overjoyed. O! Millionaire truly changes people’s lives.”

Tarun is proud to be part O! Millionaire’s green initiative which he believes will help the world become greener and more sustainable.

Mohammed Azam from Qatar is thankful to O! Millionaire family for giving him such an ‘awesome’ gift.

Hailing from Hyderabad, in the Indian state of Telangana Mohammed has a wife and three kids who stay with his father and mother back home.

“O! Millionaire has given me an opportunity to bring them to Qatar and spend some quality time with them which otherwise, I couldn’t. The money which when converted turns around Rs 20 lakhs is huge money. It will help me build my dream home and help with my children’s education. I plan to use it in a wise way,” he says.

Mohammed heard about O! Millionaire through his friend.

“Knowing of my financial constraints, he said why don’t you try this initiative? He was the first person I called when I won.” he says.

He appreciates this great initiative as part of which they plan to build an Oasis Park in Oman. He wants to by green certificates, contribute to a good cause and hopes to win the Grand Prize one day.

“It is a fantastic initiative, and now my friends are buying the green certificate on my recommendation,” Tarun says.

O! Millionaire’s goals inspire individuals to make a positive difference in their own lives and their communities.

A green certificate, which participants purchase to support O! Millionaire’s tree-planting programme that forms the basis of Oasis Park, entitles them to an entry for a draw valued at over OMR 6,000,000. The certificate provides participants two chances to win – one through a raffle that pays out one winner OMR 10,000 every week and another through a draw that can bring them prizes valued at more than OMR 6,000,000. The draw is held every Thursday at 8 pm and should no grand prize winner be selected in a draw; a sum of OMR 50,000 will be added to the prize sum every week.

O! Millionaire environmental initiative intends to create Middle East’s most significant green park – the Oasis Park in Oman which will be spread across an area of 1,200 square kilometers and will host 60 million trees. Once Oasis Park is fully developed, it is expected to contribute to CO2 reduction by 1,440,000 tons approximately and will also witness a reduction of the total annual CO2 emission of Oman and will eventually help build the world’s atmosphere.

In line with the key objectives of Oman Vision 2040, this initiative seeks to protect the environment and conserve Oman’s rich biodiversity. It also aims to contribute towards the country’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint in alignment with the United Nation’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Oasis Park is a bold endeavor to promote conservation, develop sustainability for the country, and support continued research and education. The goal is to take positive steps toward climate change mitigation, carbon sequestration, food security, water security, biodiversity conservation amongst others.

For more information on this initiative, please visit https://omillionaire.com/ and purchase a green certificate worth OMR 2.5. This green certificate confirms their contribution to the Oasis Park project of O! Millionaire.

Citizens and residents of Oman and the world are invited to become part of the O! Millionaire’s Oasis Park community – from environmentalists and environmental enthusiasts to activists, volunteers, and everyone in between – by reaching out to press@OasisPark.om.
