Saudi curriculum still preaches hatred, says report

By: Abdulali

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia: A report published in the United States this week said Saudi Arabia's education system continues to preach hatred for both Muslims, who oppose the state's version of Islam, and non-Muslims despite pledges of reform.

According to the authorities in the absolute monarchy the results of the reforms to moderate the kingdom's form of Islam in school textbooks and mosques will take time to appear.

But the report by the US-based Institute for Gulf Affairs, run by Saudi opposition figures, and US think-tank Freedom House says material currently taught at primary and secondary school level shows the reforms are far from complete.

Schoolbooks condemn Muslims around the world except those who follow Wahabism – the State’s version of Islam. The textbooks are taught in Saudi government schools around the world.
