The Islamic “imprinting” onto your kids continues; very much like one particular story that caught plenty of attention here on the Anvil before. Thanks to Always on Watch for alerting me to this article from The Cabinet Press:
AMHERST- For one night, on May 9, the quaint colonial town of Amherst, New Hampshire, was transformed into a Saudi Arabian Bedouin tent community, with the help of 80 seventh-graders at the Amherst Middle School. The weather cooperated, providing 85 degree temperatures to give an authentic Saudi feel to the evening.
More than 250 guests arrived at the open tent and were welcomed with an Arabic greeting of ‘Marhaba’ by students at a Saudi customs desk.
During the check-in, guests selected a traditional Arabic name for their name badge and completed an actual Saudi customs form, which warned in bold letters ‘Death for Drug Trafficking’ at the top.
Once inside, guests were encouraged to circulate among 14 different stations created by the students.
The Arabic food-tasting station offered four entr’es, curried chicken, lamb, tomato chicken with cardomom, and Moroccan chicken, served with pita breads, hummus, and couscous. Fresh fruits, cardomom coffees, and spice teas were also served.
Flowing fabrics hung from the ceiling separated the family and men-only dining sections. The tables were set on large rugs and lowered so that the diners sat on the floor.
Only the seventh-grade boys were allowed to host the food stations and the Arabic dancing, as the traditions of Saudi Arabia at this time prevent women from participating in these public roles.
Dressed in traditional Arabic wear– long plaid kilts, white shirts and turbans –the boys offered food and entertained guests. The Arabic dancers enthusiastically performed to music and encouraged male visitors to join their dance.
Seventh-grade girls hosted the hijab and veil stations, where other female guests learned how to wear the required head covering and veils. An antique trunk full of black abayas worn by women, and white thobes worn by the men, were available for guests to try on.
Cultural items displayed throughout the room included Arabic books, games, food, and newspapers and magazines.
An Islamic religion station included a Muslim prayer rug with a compass imbedded in it to locate Mecca, readings on the Islamic faith, call to prayer items and prayer beads.
Younger visitors gravitated to the Arabic listening station, the Arabic coloring book stations and the mural, while visitors of all ages found the slide shows of Saudi Arabia to be captivating.
The ‘open tent’ was created to encourage participants to reach out and learn from people around the world, and to promote curiosity and cultural understanding.
Excuse me, but is anyone paying attention? Be sure to check out the other links related to this story available at Always on Watch Two.

I’m seething over this one! The textbooks used by our public schools are bad enough (whitewash of Islam, and no wonder with Wahhabist Susan Douglass sitting on the committees of nearly all the major publishers of social studies texts). Now this role-playing crap at special events funded by the taxpayers.
Parents had better start finding out what’s what with Islam and what’s going on in the school system, even down in the early grades.
Oh, and thanks for the link! I’m so angry that I’m forgetting my manners.
It is outrageous that our children are being spoon-fed Islam under the guise of Arab-cultural awareness. I’m right there with you on this one. It pisses me off.
I’m glad you brought this story to my attention. It deserves as much press as possible.
The grand islamic worldwide plot moves on, unchecked in the west. Our citizens are falling for it, tooth and nail.
Troublesome.
and more to come.
20 years ago this might not have been a big deal but after a certain event happened this is insane. We know far too much of Saudi Arabia and what we do know is not good yet here is this BS going on. Would learning about Nazi German culture in this manner in 1942 have been conceivable? Of course not-people knew all they needed to know the hard way. This nation is going in the wrong direction if something like this is deemed OK.
Dear FH:
What a blogsite! I get the impression you hate Islamofascism as much as I do–if that is possible.
Register me as one of your regulars to receive updates, etc, please!
You will be hearing more from me pretty soon and I would love to link up with you when my websites are set up.
Isn’t Aleways on Watch great! And eveyone else who is fighting Islam.
I would rather die on my feet as a free American than live on mhy kneees as a slave to Islam.
Rudy Giuliani will make the kind of president we need to fight this war. Take a look at his commitments to America.

@Cassandra: I would suggest perhaps you register with the Anvil, and beyond that, you many use either or both subscribe features found at the top of the sidebar to grab the RSS feed. If you don’t want to be overly bothered, just input your email in the black box and you’ll get full updates from my site sent to you automatically each day.
Yes, indeed, my disdain for Islam is well known. Muhammad has left a poison to run in the veins of this planet; the worst criminal and liar in history.
Thanks for the high praise, and I look forward to the evolution of your own blog.
I guess that I, too, should register here at Foehammer’s for updates. This is, as Cassandra mentioned, an excellent web site.
BTW, Foehammer, if you’re ever interested in being interviewed on Blog Talk Radio, send me an email so that I can schedule you for The Gathering Storm Radio Show. My email is available at my web site.
@Always On Watch: Little ole me? Who’d want to hear my voice? An interesting proposition. I’ll have to give it some thought. It’s not that I’m against the idea, but I’ve maintained strict anonymity for so long, the idea pulls back the mask just a bit.
You do great work, Always, as does your Blog Radio co-host W.C. over at the Gathering Storm.
I’m very surprised — having now just checked the show schedule page for the first time in awhile — that you just had Cassandra on last week. Listening to that archive right now. I’m learning as a I go since I only myself discovered her a few days ago.
The Gathering Storm Weekly Storm Report
I think you should go on Gathering Storm, since it will introduce you to a bigger audience. If you’re concerned about preserving your anonymity, just get a voice distorter (I suggest getting one that makes you sound like Darth Vader).
LOL. I’ve considered using such a device if and when I ever do my own podcasting. Truthfully though, I doubt anyone would recognize my voice that I would have to worry about.
I’m undecided on doing the interview.
