Protesters Label Texas Arabic Immersion Magnet School ‘Civilizational Jihad’


An Arabic Immersion Magnet school has opponents calling it part of “Civilization Jihad.”

The group of protestors billed their event as “Stop the New Jihad!” They say that Americans and Texans in general need to become more educated about Islam and their intent to engage in “civilizational jihad” in America. They warn that the Texas school district is planning to expand grade levels in the AIM school every year.

Local “Stop the Magnet” activist, Liz Theiss told Breitbart Texas, “Civilizational jihad is what we feel is a network operating within the U.S. to promote Arabic culture and language and it operates through stealth within the community to create trust.”

She says this strategy is listed in the Muslim Brotherhood’s Strategic Plan for North America. The plan was seized by the FBI during the largest terrorism financing trial in United States’ history, as written about by Breitbart Texas.

In May 2009, five of the key leaders of the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) were sentenced after having been convicted in November, 2008, of providing material support to the terrorist organization.

Julia Appleton told Breitbart Texas, “Some of the funding for the school is linked to Saudi Money. She said it comes from the Qatar Foundation. Appleton added, “I understand students being bilingual but that is not what is happening here.”

Theiss said,HISD (Houston Independent School District) is relying on questionable organizations to finance its Arabic Immersion program. The Qatar Foundation International has spent thousands of dollars to install Arabic language and cultural programs in schools nationwide.”

Theiss also has an issue in that staffing for schools should go to Americans. She said that an HISD e-mail (attached below) between the school’s coordinator, Mahassen Ballouli, and Nervin Ouida of the Arabic American Cultural & Community Center (ACC) “show a go-to arrangement for Arabic staffing needs.” The e-mail was obtained in an public information act request.

The Houston-area activist continued, “Even for a four hour per week position they feel the need to hire another foreign worker from places like Syria instead of an American-born employee who only speaks English. It is too close for comfort with no security checks on these employees.”
