다문화교육 표방하는 친이슬람 세계사 개정교과서

Abstract

The Republic of Korea actively conducts Islamic education in the education field as part of multicultural society education in the dimension of social integration. Come to think of France that has become the hotbed of terror as it failed in the education for the 2nd generation Muslim immigrants according to the ‘laicite’ principle, though it led public education on the principle of the separation of church and state by the resistance of the Muslim immigrants, Korean multicultural education supports pro-Islamic education, not the separation of church and state from the beginning. Education biased to Islamic religion that makes a pretext of multicultural education becomes a channel of Islamizing the tomorrow of Korea. Our children are not Muslim, and Korea is not an Islamic state, the world history education conducted in the name of pursuit of multicultural society drives out Korean society to a risk faster than Europe. It induces the conversion to Muslim indirectly by educating the contents same as those in the Islamic propaganda booklet in the world history education contents and shows the reverse discriminatory aspects that educate Middle Eastern culture as the main contents, excluding similar cultural areas, including the Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino, and Thai cultures in the multicultural education dimension. Islam takes up a whopping 46.1% of Korean nine Middle School History I textbooks in terms of the amount of description in the public education field. Also, it is pointed out that the contents of the description, too, include parts that are inconsistent with the facts or religiously biased by beautifying them for pro-Islamic propagation. The argument of Lee Hee-soo who has urged for the revision of world history textbooks, insisting on the error and prejudice in the world history textbooks of 2007, and his required world history readings consequently provide biased and unilateral Islamic education for adolescents. Despite the Republic of Korea is not an Islamic state, the present world history textbooks remind us of those of an Islamic state. The actual contents of the Cheonjae Education textbook are almost filled with Islam-related contents while educating the history` of West Asia and India. The Republic of Korea, in reality, conducts world history education biased toward Islam lacking diversity and objectivity, superficially promoting the multicultural society consciousness. Commonly, all publishers intentionally excluded the history of Israel, located in West Asia, describing the history of West Asia and India in Unit III. They omit the contents of Israel, the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity and briefly describe the historical contents of India, the birthplace of Buddhism and Hinduism thoroughly from the Islamic point of view that “Hindu culture and Islamic culture coexist.” For the achievement of diversity and multicultural education repeatedly emphasized in the 2022 revised curriculum, world history textbooks biased toward Islam must completely be disposed of, and they should be reorganized into objective world history textbooks compiled by carefully selected writers.
