Pennsylvania is under fire after handing $5 million in taxpayer-backed funding to expand a private Islamic school whose own handbook said “Our Culture Is Toxic To Muslims,” urged students to develop an Islamic worldview and spread Islam’s message to other Americans, and now advertises fiqh — the jurisprudence used to elaborate Sharia. State records list the project bluntly as “Al Aqsa School Expansion,” while the school’s parent society has drawn scrutiny for ties to men later convicted in the Fort Dix terror plot and for hosting an imam who preached that Muslims should “impose the word of Islam upon the world.” Democrats say the grant will build classrooms, a gym and community space — and could help swell enrollment from about 300 to as many as 3,000.
