To HELL With "Offending" Muslims, Teach History, Not Political Correctness
In NannyLand, the UK, or should I say IslamoLand, history teacher are editing history, the Holocaust and the Crusades in particular, so as not to "offend" Muslims.
It's history, it happened, it's part of what we are, so teach it, and don't get all caught up in being PC or worrying about "offending" someone. If they don't like it, TFB, it happened! This is one of the stupidest ideas I have ever heard coming out of the UK, the Holocaust happened, 6 million Jews were cruelly killed because they were Jewish, that is reality! As for the Crusades, how can you ignore them? Not only are they part of European history, put they are part of Middle Eastern and Muslim history. What about ignoring the part when the Muslims occupied Spain? Should we ignore that? Or when they took back the Holy Land at the end of the Crusades?
People are getting waaaaaaaaay too serious about "offending", I have a simple motto: Get Over It!!!

Schools are dropping controversial subjects from history lessons - such as the Holocaust and the Crusades - because teachers do not want to cause offence, Government research has discovered.
...
Some teachers dropped the Holocaust completely from lessons because of fears that Muslim pupils might express anti-semitic reactions. One school avoided teaching the Crusades because its "balanced" handling of the topic would directly contradict what was taught in local mosques.
