WASHINGTON, DC / ACCESSWIRE / February 20, 2019 / MEMRI has published an e-book comprising its investigative report series on Qatari school textbooks that encourage jihad and martyrdom, and that also depict secularism as Western heresy, indoctrinate students against Jews, Christians, and others, accuse the Catholic Church of attempting to destroy Islam, and focus on death, the torments of Hell, and the pleasures of Paradise. The e-book, released today, is titled Review Of Qatari Islamic Education School Textbooks For The First Half Of The 2018-2019 School Year.
The Qatari Islamic Education books for grades 1-12 that MEMRI reviewed are used at state schools in Qatar. They are designated for use during the first half of the 2018-2019 school year. The books were produced and approved by Qatar's Ministry of Education and Higher Education, bear the symbol of the Education Ministry, and appear on the ministry's website. They were edited and overseen by Education Ministry committees, headed by Dr. 'Abdallah 'Ali Al-Marri, director of the ministry's Islamic Education Department. The textbooks for grades 1-10 are also copyrighted by the ministry.
The preface to the books states that they have been reedited by the ministry and adapted to the spirit of the modern age, with the aim of teaching students about their religion and its sources while also meeting the challenges of today's world and realizing the aims of "Qatar National Vision 2030," adopted in 2008, which seeks to develop the Qatari individual and society.
