Hamas Officials Funding Private School in Dallas

This as we see growing scrutiny and an awakening of sorts with Americans concerned over Islamist influence in the U.S. The Brighter Horizons Academy is in Garland, northwest of Texas. Middle East Forum: a new investigation indicates that a private Islamist-run school and radical curricula provider in the Dallas suburbs, previously established and staffed by Hamas-aligned operatives, are today teaching children hatred of “disbelievers” and lauding the work of banned terror charities. Previous school staff appear to have included two close relatives of the Doha-based Hamas leader Khaled Mishal, family members of convicted terrorists, a deported Hamas operative, and an unindicted co-conspirator in America’s largest terror financing trial. Brighter Horizons Academy, based in the city of Garland, is a subsidiary of the Islamic Services Foundation (ISF), a leading Islamist curricula publisher that produces and disseminates textbooks, written by leading Islamist operatives, to private Islamist-run schools across the country…. Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy and co-founder of the Muslim Reform Movement, told the Middle East Forum: “The success of the Muslim Brotherhood as a mass global movement and its ideology of political Islam is greatly dependent on its ability to indoctrinate Muslim children, in mosques and Islamic schools with the view that their interpretations of Islam and shariah must reign supreme, and that all other systems of governance—especially the kind of liberal democracy arising from the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights—are to be disdained” (Middle East Forum).
