Washington DC – The Institute for Gulf Affairs is releasing a report on the Saudi government school in Paris and the content of its schoolbooks that promotes terrorism and hatred.

Some of the violent and extremist teachings include:

1- One lesson titled “The Danger of Crusades” states that there is an ongoing war between Muslims and Christians.

2- The lesson considers the French Revolution apostasy and deviant ideology; its followers are to be killed.

3- The killing of those who espouse secularism, and the killing of all Jews.
