It’s in England today, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see this here tomorrow.
Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and ‘pray to Allah’ during a religious education lesson.
Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.
They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent - which included wearing Muslim headgear - was a breach of their human rights.
So basically, in some absurd display of political correctness and fear of offending Islam, this teacher forced her entire class to not just learn about Islam (which is fine), not do something like watch a prayer or hear a presentation from a Muslim (still ok), but dress up and ACTUALLY pray to Allah as if it was their faith (which it wasn’t).
That is wholly unacceptable and an absolute travesty. Most of the parents, it seems, agreed:
One parent, Sharon Luinen, said: “This isn’t right, it’s taking things too far.
“I understand that they have to learn about other religions. I can live with that but it is taking it a step too far to be punished because they wouldn’t join in Muslim prayer.
“Making them pray to Allah, who isn’t who they worship, is wrong and what got me is that they were told they were being disrespectful.
Another parent Karen Williams said: “I am absolutely furious my daughter was made to take part in it and I don’t find it acceptable.
“I haven’t got a problem with them teaching my child other religions and a small amount of information doesn’t do any harm.
“But not only did they have to pray, the teacher had gone into the class and made them watch a short film and then said ‘we are now going out to pray to Allah’.
And the best of the comments:
“My child has been forced to pray to Allah in a school lesson.” The grandfather of one of the pupils in the class said: “It’s absolutely disgusting, there’s no other way of putting it.
“My daughter and a lot of other mothers are furious about their children being made to kneel on the floor and pray to Islam. If they didn’t do it they were given detention.
“But if Muslims were asked to go to church on Sunday and take Holy Communion there would be war.”
Isn’t that the truth, probably literally. Could you just imagine the outrage that would spew forth from radical Islam if students were forced to say the Hail Mary?
Britain is falling further and further into the cesspool of being an Islamofacism apologist. We need to take heed that this sort of garbage doesn’t jump the ocean and begin making an appearance in our schools. As Michelle Malkin would say, reason #487,209,286 to home school your kids.
