Florida Family Association heard in late November that a Hillsborough County School teacher in Tampa Florida had allegedly allowed a representative from CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) to teach more than 400 AP High School students about Islam and the Muslim faith. A public records request was issued to school district officials on December 4, 2011. The school district did not respond until December 15th at 6:00 pm.

Florida Family Association waited until the week of January 9th when all school board officials would be back in office to report that Steinbrenner High School teacher Kelly Miliziano allowed a representative from CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) to inform students about Islam, Sharia law, etc. for the past three school years. Click here to see Kelly Miliziano’s emails to CAIR.

Miliziano’s email makes it very clear on page 3 of the above referenced email document that “Confronting stereotypes and misconceptions” about Islam was very important to her with her allegation that the topic was a “favorite of students.” Other topics she wanted discussed with students included “Sharia”, “Human Rights and Islam” and “Women and Islam in different countries.

Rest assured that the CAIR representative did not “educate” these students about the huge step backward that “women” and “human rights” took in Egypt when that country returned to Sharia rule. Click here to read more on Egypt at Jihadwatch.org.

This picture, taken at a recent protest in Egypt, has been making the rounds on various Arabic websites. Note the rope around the women, herding them like camels; note the man to the right holding the leash, walking them. This is a common “precautionary measure” to keep women from mixing with men during protests.

Page 4 of the email confirmed that CAIR Tampa Executive Director Hassan Shibly made presentations to Kelly Miliziano’s students on November 29, 2011 throughout the school day.

What do we know about Hassan Shibly? He granted legitimacy to Hizballah following the 2006 Israel-Lebanon War by characterizing it as a "resistance movement" that provides valued social services to the Lebanese people. "They're absolutely not a terrorist organization," Shibly said, and "any war against them is illegitimate."

In his Facebook page, Shibly defended a radical imam killed by the FBI after he opened fire on agents moving in to arrest him. In an October 2009 post, Shibly questioned the use of force against Imam Luqman Abdullah even though the criminal complaint against him made it clear Abdullah advocated violent jihad and urged followers never to surrender peacefully to authorities.

Shibly's online profile also features American-born Islamic cleric Khalid Yasin as an "Interest." Yasin is known for his controversial views, including a 2005 interview in which he says that Muslims cannot be friends with non-Muslims; that suicide bombings are understandable; and that the U.S. orchestrated 9/11 to wage a war against Islam. "There's no such thing as a Muslim having a non-Muslim friend," he said. "If you prefer the clothing of the kafirs [disbelievers] over the clothing of the Muslims, most of those names that's on most of those clothings is (sic) faggots, homosexuals and lesbians." Yasin goes further, encouraging children to take up the "honor" of throwing stones and confronting Israeli soldiers when there are no more men left to do it.

These types of representations are not limited to the current CAIR Tampa Executive Director. Former CAIR Tampa Executive Director Ahmed Bedier defended renowned convicted terrorist fundraiser Sami Al-Arian when he told The Tampa Tribune “Al-Arian did not agree to admit to any charges associated with terrorism” and "There is no conspiracy to support terrorism."

Additionally, Ahmed Bedier defended Ahmed Mohamed who was arrested on August 4, 2007 in South Carolina for allegedly possessing pipe bombs. Mohamed was sentenced to 15 years for his offense. Bedier said "We have faith in the American judicial system.” So far we've only heard and read about vague language describing an explosive device, but no actual evidence. Until that's displayed it's going to be unclear what's going on." Click here to read Bedier’s comments in The Tampa Tribune.

Florida Family Association officially requested on January 9, 2012 that the Hillsborough County School Board stop Kelly Miliziano or any other teacher from allowing CAIR personnel to make any presentations to students.
