Report: Schoolboys Get Detention for Refusing to Pray to Allah

[foundit66]

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."

Demanding people participate in a prayer ceremony is just plain wrong.
The school officials got ridiculously over-zealous.

I am curious how the other religions were educated...

If it were Christians or Jews forcing Muslims to do this there would be no end in the number of lawsuits being filed or the number of mindless, politically-correct "community leaders" being put on the news condemning this action.

In addition, some idiot would probably fly an airplane into the school screaming "Allah Akbar!" while doing so.

I agree with Baron

they're ice skating in hell, as I type

Don't forget the mass protests (that all conveniently happen on Friday after prayers) from crowds with machetes in hand calling for death. (Also the protest signs will all be in English to appease the global photographers)...

And the fatwas...You can't forget the fatwas!!!...
