Bill Clinton Got Millions From Sharia Education Network | Frontpage Mag

...for the Clintons, it's always about the money.

They do love their Muslims, don't they?

I'd like to see some actual evidence that they are a "Sharia Education Network."

The owner, Sunny Varkey, is Indian - and Christian - not Muslim.

Sunny Varkey (born in 1957 in Kerala, India) is a non-resident Indian, Dubai-based education entrepreneur and education philanthropist. He is the founder and chairman of the global advisory and educational management firm GEMS Education, which is the largest operator of private kindergarten-to-grade-12 schools in the world, with a network of over 130 schools in over a dozen countries.[1][2] He is also the chairman of the umbrella business organisation the Varkey Group, and the founder and trustee of the philanthropic Varkey Foundation. As of 2012, Varkey is also a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador.[3]

In 2004, Varkey's GEMS group opened its first schools in India.[5] Varkey continued to add schools in the subcontinent, and also purchased a controlling interest in the India-based Everonn Education, which the Varkey Group and GEMS manage.[13][18] GEMS subsequently opened schools in Kenya, Uganda, Egypt, Jordan, Libya, Singapore, the U.S., Switzerland, and elsewhere around the globe.[19] It is the largest operator of private kindergarten-to-grade-12 schools in the world, and as of 2014 has over 130 schools in over a dozen countries.[1][2]

GEMS schools aim to offer a holistic education,[4] and to instill students with values of altruism and philanthropy. GEMS Education is geared to form graduates who are forward-thinking global citizens with universal values and leadership qualities.[5][11] For GEMS students, Varkey stresses an ideology and atmosphere of multiculturalism, and the importance of giving back to others both locally and globally.[5

Yeah, any site that has the headline "INSIDE EVERY LIBERAL IS A TOTALITARIAN SCREAMING TO GET OUT" is clearly unbiased.

And this is exactly the problem with conservatives. They take anything that seems a bit foreign or different to them - say, an educational organization not based in the USA and run by white people - as some sort of nefarious conspiracy and attribute all sorts of nonsense to it. It's somewhere overseas in one of those funny parts of the world? Must be SHARIA LAW!!!

You can't even have a reasoned, intelligent debate with these kinds of people when they pollute their minds with lies from a narrow spectrum of right-wing blogs. Their minds are just filled with all sorts of paranoia and conspiracy, pretty much all of which has no basis in reality.
