I think its wrong, but not realy any worse then the christian prayers in schools, or any number of other religious activities that shouldnt be going on in a public places with people of diferet religous backrounds.
This article says that the textbook was pro-Islam, and anti-christian. However, I would have to see that this organization spent just as much time weeding out the much more common right wing christian extreamists out of our public schools throughout the midwest, befor I take seriously the the claims that this cirucilum was as extream as they are saying it is.
If you read the Snopes account, you will find that the original article is distorted almost to the point of unrecognizability. You can read the content standards at issue, or you can read the lessons at a glance from the book used. There's no there there.
