Another line of argument implying Perry's Islamic
leanings, if not his out-and-out support, pertains to inclusion of
Islam in the state's educational curriculum. I looked closely
into that claim, because it is indeed a critical juncture where young
minds can indeed be influenced.
The nuggets of the Muslim history curriculum Perry helped coordinate in
Texas are summarized below. It says:
1.
Countries of Western Civilization have secular governments, which means
great toleration of cultural and religious differences.
2. Countries of Islamic Civilization
for the most part either have religiously dominated governments or
demands to make them more religious, which means less toleration of
cultural and religious differences.
3. Muslims often lack respect for
Western traditions and points of view. The Muslim relationship to the
West is colored by the belief that Western beliefs [whether Christian
or atheist] are defective and therefore inferior to Islam.

PS, from the article - "Although Perry's cordial relationship with
the Ismailis is indeed true, it hardly warrants alarm. What is more disturbing is the claim,
nearly all of it originating from one source (Debbie
Schlussel?), that Governor Perry is supported by CAIR."
