A world history textbook used by the Advanced Placement Program contains one chapter on Islam and barely mentions Christianity and Judaism. And I presume it does not deal with Hinduism or Buddhism to the extent they deserve either.
“If you don’t see it from the eyes of a parent, kids are going to take this
book as gospel and believe that Christians and Jews were murderous barbarians
and thank God the Muslims came along and the world is great,” he said.
For example, Workman said a reference to Mohammed and his armies taking over
Medina states, “people happily accepted Islam as their way of life.”
