Teaching Hatred of Unbelievers

The Times of London reviewed texts used to teach Muslim students and found that:

“MUSLIM students training to be imams at a British college with strong Iranian links have complained that they are being taught fundamentalist doctrines which describe nonMuslims as “filth”.

This is both disturbing, and sounds an awful lot like the messages (even if slightly less blatant) coming from the right wing regarding all those who don’t follow their beliefs. Muslim fundamentalists and the religious right in the United States have far more in common than either side will admit.
