Regarding the Muslim in schools thing: They're not just teaching about Islam, they're teaching Islam. So, they get three weeks of that, learning the pillars of Islam and saying Muslim prayers. Does the Christian segment make the kids, even the Muslim ones, memorize the Ten Commandments and saying the Lord's Prayer in class? How about the Jewish program? I'll bet money the Muslims parents would completely freak, and be even less tolerant than what you've observed from other segments of the population. But it'll never happen.
Did you see that they were having the kids play at JIHAD? Even Christian schools don't teach kids to play at the Crusades, y'know, let alone public ones.
BTW, I can find less, er, strongly opinionated versions of that story, if you'd like. I ran across several in my search.
