Hat Tip to Boof for sending this to me.I have seen that people have already posted this but maybe there are still some out there that haven't seen it.Prepare to be disgusted.I am with you Boof this is getting out of hand.I would like to see muslims participating in this class when it comes to the other religions.
Two boys were punished this week for refusing to kneel on prayer mats and worship Allah during a class demonstration on Islam, the Daily Mail reported.
Irate parents said a religious education teacher at the Alsager High School in England told students to wear Muslim headgear during a lesson on Tuesday. "But if Muslims were asked to go to church on Sunday and take Holy Communion, there would be war," the grandfather of one of the students said.
The two boys belong to a class that includes 11- to 12-year-olds, and after their refusal to participate they were given detention, the story says.
Another parent, Karen Williams, told the Mail: "Not only was it forced upon them, my daughter was told off for not doing it right. They'd never done it before and they were supposed to do it in another language."
Deputy Headmaster Keith Plant said the teacher has given her version of the incident but he declined to elaborate.
According to a statement from the Cheshire County Council on behalf of the school: "Educating children in the beliefs of different faith is part of the diversity curriculum on the basis that knowledge is essential to understanding. "We accept that such teaching is to be conducted with some sense of sensitivity."
Knowledge of Islam should be limited to how disgusting and vile it is.....end of class.I gotta hand it to islam it sure knows how to push itself on people,but there are those who just love to push back (insert irate shove here.)
this just makes me angry, you know if they even mentioned prayer in a christian way they would be strung up but forcing the kids to do an islamic prayer????? oh no they must do that.
I and crazybear would pull our kids out of that school so fast that the school system would not know what happened to them. Then you would have to kill me before i would let this happen to my kiddos.
This just burns me up.How can anyone in the field of education want to teach children Islam.Do they not see what islam does to children? sickening,just downright sickening.
Selling children out in the name of political correctness and multicultural mumbo jumbo.DISGUSTING.
There is none of this in the islamic world...is there?
This is all totally wrong. NO teacher in the states should want to teach this to our kids and it makes me mad to even think that they would and this has set a wrong place with me and our school system.
Holy...pig..crap. They have NO business pushing islam much less any religion in class, but ESPECIALLY islam...you are right on, Dar, no muslim would take part in a class that had them praying to Jesus or wearing crosses, etc etc..it's never a give and take with islam..it's always take take take.
