Muslims Burn Gift Boxes From Christians--Meant for Children

Is this thread causing multiplicity?

[cherry]

Can any Muslim please come on here and tell us that this is an aberration?...that Muslims do believe in charity?....

I don't think the parents of kids in South America will burn these gifts....

[fortunecookie]

Makes me wonder. Our own local churches and school system did a similar drive. Notepads, pencils, crayons, small, generic toys, socks, hair ribbons, toothbrushes were just some of the items collected or bought with donated money. We all donated to it. Dutifully packed into individual 'gifts' and mailed, en masse, to children in Bosnia and Afghanistan. Makes me wonder if any of the kids ever got to see or enjoy the items. What kind of adults would refuse aid or gifts to their kids in need? (Sadly, that last comment is rhetorical...)

>>... Muslim scholars organized the protest following reports that school children were given gifts with Christian emblems alongside charitable aid....<<

Will these agencies still send aid if they can't include religeous items?

Do parents have a right to raise thier children as they see fit? Even Muslim parents?

Well, the article states that Christian religious items were included with the gifts.

Is it ok for a Muslim parent to raise their child as they see fit?

Is it ok for a Christian parent to refuse to let their child accept gifts with religious items from Buddhists?

I participated in these drives before, and NO religious items were asked for or collected...we sent crayons, pens, pencils, little toy cars, soap, toothbrushes, paper pads, etc...etc...really subversive stuff.....not!

If they Christian parents were starving, then of course they could remove whatever things they thought to be harmful. These Muslims just can't stand the thought of accepting gifts from "infidels."

And it's not really the parents as much as it is the leadership who make the decisions, which the parents have to obey.

Ah yes, all this and more from the practioners of the "Religion of Peace"!

[Jimmy Valentine]

"Take up the white man's burden, the savage wars of peace,

Fill full the mouth of Famine, and bid the Sickness cease,

And when your goal is nearest, your hope for others sought,

Watch sloth and heathen folly, bring all your works to naught."

Kipling knew a thing or two.

Very sad. I have absolutely nothing against muzzy children, (ones that aren't caring an AK47 an taking pot shots at our boys in Iraq) it would be great to give the innocent ones a small taste of Christian human kindness. I pray for the children.

I do take strong issue with those gold and silk robed sons of sea biscuits in Saudi Arabia calling the shots, spewing there holy hate, selling oil and then buying and spreading world terror.

Were going to have to cut the head off the snake some day. Maybe we will wake up and come to our senses after the next 9/11 and realize that Islam is our sworn enemy.

My mother in-law's church sends gifts in shoe boxes, and no religious symbols are alowed. They want the children to recieve the gifts. penciles, paper, tooth brushes combs, coloring books, and stuff like that..... I do know cause I have helped pack some of the boxes.

[Old Grumpy]

Those children over there don't stand a chance, do they?

So have I. But apparently some agencies DO include religious items and the Muslims object.

My question is: will these agencies still send aid if they can't send religious items or are they "hell bent" on converting these "heathens".

I guess I missed that part. The gifts sent by our local group were innocuous and non-religious, but our church was involved. Of course, parents have this right.

Bah! To avoid snake-bite, kill the snakes and smash their eggs.

[cyborg]

er...okay but for a more realistic solution, the world governments have to stop making deals with their ME oil handlers such as Sudan and Saudi Arabia. Stop the 'soft diplomacy' mentality.
