In March 2025, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania awarded $5 million in taxpayer money to Al-Aqsa Islamic Academy—a Philadelphia-based Islamic school currently serving approximately 300 students.
With this grant, the school now plans to expand to 3,000 students.

It is the largest moslem-specific education grant in Pennsylvania’s history—and likely one of the largest in the United States.
Governor Josh Shapiro made the announcement during a Ramadan iftar dinner, cloaking the moment in the usual buzzwords: “diversity,” “inclusion,” and “fighting hate.” He called it bridge-building. But what he built was a bridge to ideological conquest—not cultural unity.
Governor Shapiro did not merely make the announcement, rather he used the occasion to virtue signal with a now-familiar script:
“We are building bridges… promoting inclusion… and standing up to hate.”
— Gov. Josh Shapiro, Ramadan 2025
No, Governor, you have not yet experienced true hate. That will come once moslems have achieved numerical balance.
You are funding religious indoctrination—an ideology rooted in supremacism and submission, not pluralism.
The $5 million came from Pennsylvania’s Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP)—a fund that is supposed to support infrastructure, economic growth, and public benefit projects. Roads. Housing. Public safety.
Instead, it is being used to expand the size of a religious school ten-fold with a documented ideological agenda—to vanquish the existing non-moslem population.
This is not economic development;
it is state-funded ideological expansion.
NOTE: If a Christian or Jewish academy had received $5 million in public funds to expand religious education, We the People would see lawsuits before the check cleared. In Oklahoma, a Catholic-backed charter school—St. Isidore of Seville—was blocked by the state Supreme Court after the Attorney General sued, arguing it violated the separation of church and state. That school was not even operational yet. The case is now headed to the U.S. Supreme Court. And in Maine, when the Supreme Court ruled in Carson v. Makin (2022) that religious schools must be included in the state’s tuition assistance program, the backlash was instant:
[L]egal challenges, public protests,
and nationwide editorial outrage.
But when it is Islam?
Silence. Subsidy. Applause.
Meanwhile, small Christian and Catholic schools across Pennsylvania are shutting their doors. The Archdiocese of Philadelphia has closed over two dozen elementary schools since 2012 due to declining enrollment and rising operational costs. In 2023 alone, schools like Holy Trinity in Morrisville and Our Lady of the Rosary in Coatesville were shut down. Many rural and suburban Christian academies are quietly folding for one reason: they can’t afford to stay open.
However, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania found $5 million for a school that teaches Islamic law.
People of Pennsylvania you must unite!

Final thoughts: First, one word, ‘Suicide.’ But why? Governor Shapiro must know Islam does not assimilate; it is an evil which conquers. And given the governor IS aware of Islam’s pattern and intention, an argument may be made that he is setting up a cultural homicide.
