Schoolboys punished with detention for refusing to kneel in class and pray to Allah
Daily Mail Online ^ | Last updated at 11:30 AM on 04th July 2008 | By Daily Mail Reporter

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.

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.

~

"Then two boys got detention and all the other children missed their refreshment break because of the teacher.

"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."

"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.

Good for the boys. Shame on this idiotic school and those who run it.

Oh those boys are my little heroes. I hope my children are defiant enough to stand up to a teacher who asks them to pray to another God. Allah at that!

And so it begins. Submit or be punished.

Good for the boys.

Absolutely. At 11 and 12 years of age it is easy to get intimidated by the 'adult' teachers and 'go with the flow' (even if something doesn't quite seem right about it). Good for them for identifying that this was flat out wrong (bowing down to some satanic manifestation), and saying 'no'...
At least there are a few folks with spines left in the U.K.

After I went to the school and pounded that teacher’s head through her rectum, I’d sue that school for every last penny they have. Can you image the outrage if they were forced to say Christian prayers? The ACLU would have filed suit by now.

Good to see there's still some fight left in the Brits. Maybe they'll finally get angry enough about all this cr@p.

Reciting the “shahada” automatically converts one to Islam. Then they can become subject to the death penalty for apostacy.

What the hell? Since when do they have to learn about other religions? If their parents want them to learn about other religions, they will teach them all they need to know.

It’s amazing what schools “have to teach” these days.

BULL S—T!

And one of the moms, in a section I didn’t post, said she was basically OK with the school. I’d yank my kid outta there faster than a speeding bullet.

The Gospel stands in direct opposition to this. For those of us involved in the battle for the souls of men and women, this is perhaps the most direction competition we have.

Plus a good number of idiot “Christian” leaders unable or unwilling to stand for the obvious.

Revelation 20:4 KJV

And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them:

and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the Word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands;

and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Why didn't the teacher simply play a video of a Mohammedan worship service or show photographs of one? Oh, that's right, it isn't quite the same when the goal is to indoctrinate...

Plus a good number of idiot “Christian” leaders unable or unwilling to stand for the obvious.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I bet there were a few Christian teachers in this British school. So?.....????

What about Christian teachers, in the U.S., Britain, and throughout the world, who are unable or unwilling to stand for the obvious? There is plenty being taught in government and private secular schools that is in utter conflict with Christianity.

What lessons are they teaching the students about Christianity?

Answer:

* That a paycheck is more important to a Christian than standing firm for what is right.

* That Christian teachers are hypocrites for teaching, promoting, and assisting with ideas and principles that are in utter contradiction to their beliefs.

* That Christian teachers who attempt to slyly sneak in some Christianity into their lesson plans, teach the students that Christians are sneaky and sly.

So? ...Is this helping the cause of Christianity? **I DON'T THINK SO! Instead they are teaching the students ( by their example) that Christians are greedy, hypocritical, sly, and sneaking. Who in their right mind would join a religion like that?

To All:

The above is about education in **general**, throughout the world, and Christian teachers ( throughout the world) teaching in god-less Secular Humanist schools. It is **NOT** directed at anyone here on Free Republic....Therefore...Government School Defenders, please do not hit the abuse button.

This is so appalling - way beyond any factual instruction in “comparative religions” - forcing kids to actually pray in the manner of Muslims, praying to Allah, with prayer mats and headgear? This “teacher” should be fired, along with anyone else who helped to foist this upon schoolchildren.

So, do all the good muslim kids freely play along and worship Jesus, too or is this just a teach allah worship class? Does the school also have their pupils experience satan worship? So much absolute garbage being posted from Britain these days that I fear for the Empire.
