Study Faults Textbooks

American students are getting a whitewashed view of Islam in their textbooks. That's the conclusion of a study by The American Textbook Council, which blames "Islamist activists [using] multiculturalism and ready-made American political movements, especially those on campus, to advance and justify uncritical Islam-related content makeover in history textbooks."

As a result, some disputed definitions, such as over jihad's peaceful vs. violent meanings, are presented in a sanitized fashion and "presented as established facts," the report concludes.
