In recent weeks questions have been raised regarding the teaching of Islam (with your tax dollars) at Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy in Blaine.

I wonder how many Minnesotans know that Tarek ibn Ziyad (Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy) was a military commander who said, “The one fruit which he desires to obtain from your bravery is that the word of God (Allah) shall be exalted in this country, and that the true religion (Islam) shall be established here. The spoils will belong to yourselves.”
