Note sure if it's a hoax or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's true.

Translation:


Islamic State
Caliphate on the program of the Prophets
Education Administration
General Statement 01

Directorate of Programs in the Islamic State
General Statement to all Education and Teaching Institutions

1. The following subjects are to be definitively abolished from teaching programs: artistic musical education [music], nationalist education, social studies, history, artistic composition education [drawing], sport, philosophical, social and psychology studies, Islam-Christian religious education), to be replaced by subjects added in compensation by the directorate of programs in the Islamic State.

2. Complete abolition of the name 'Syrian Arab Republic' wherever it is found and it be replaced by the Islamic State.

3. Complete abolition of the Education Ministry and its replacement with the Ministry of Education and Teaching.

4. Removal of all photos that do not concord with Islamic Shari'a.

5. Removal of all Syrian Arab song wherever it is found.

6. No teaching of nationalist doctrine and instead: commitment to Islam and its people, and no affiliation with idolatry and its people. Indeed the land of the Muslim is the land in which the law of God governs.

7. The teacher is to patch up gaps in knowledge of the grammar of Arabic dependent on omission by examples that do not contradict the Islamic Shari'a and politics of the Islamic State.

8. The word 'homeland' (watan), or 'his homeland', or 'my homeland' or 'Syria' is to be replaced wherever it is found with 'The Islamic State' or 'his Islamic State' or 'the land of the Muslims' or 'The Islamic State' or 'the province of ash-Sham'.

9. Abolition of any example in maths that points to interest, interest on money, democracy, or election.

10. Abolition from the sciences of anything connected with the Darwin theory, natural selection and not attributing all creation to God- Almighty and Exalted is He.

11. The teacher is to make the students aware that all the laws of physics and chemistry are from God's laws in creation.

12. This general statement is considered compulsory and all who disagree must be held accountable.

Talking about the beautiful script....I've just noticed something weird at the left bottom of the paper, this handwritten signature reads "Thou el Qarnayn" which means "Mr. Horns" (a term for "donkey/dumb") :lol: ...what the...

It can be a sarcastic hoax after all.

We just need to encourage IS to organize better by digitizing their teachings.

Plenty of aspie hackers that can "tweak" the syllabus a "little", and before you know it, all is well.

Now give me my damn noble peace prize. :lol:

Much of what is says contradicts their public stance.

They promote an Islamic state with an extremely nationalistic slant while this note claims that nationalism would be abolished. Their main goal is to establish a nationalist caliphate guided by their extremist interpretation of religious law.

The reference to Syrian song abolition seems unlikely as the majority Sunni population within Syria is where they recruit the largest portion of their fighters.

"God-Almighty and Exalted is He" is definitely not the way a fundamentalist Sunni Muslim would write. That is much more closely in line with fundamentalist Christianity. Although it may be a translation difference.

So it seems to me that it is more likely to be a hoax, but I am not really convinced either way.

Point ten seems quite real:

I've mentioned before about Muslims being forbidden by their imman (spelling?) to attend the science lectures at my university that covered evolution. It is forbidden knowledge. Basically anything that disagrees with the Koran is forbidden knowledge! :lol:

It seems like you could make a few very minor alterations and it would be perfect for a certain segment of Biblical literalists here in the US.
