Boys Punished With Detention For Refusing to Pray to Allah (UK)
worldnetdaily.com ^ | July 04, 2008

Two seventh-grade boys were given detention and their classmates forced to miss their scheduled refreshment break when the pair refused to kneel and pray to Allah during a religious studies class.

Outraged parents called the punishment of the boys for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration at Alsager High School near Stoke-on-Trent, UK, of how Muslims' worship Allah a breach of their human rights.

"This isn't right, it's taking things too far," parent Sharon Luinen told the London Daily Mail.

"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.

"I don't want this to look as if I have a problem with the school because I am generally very happy with it."

I realize that there was another article/thread posted on this yesterday but for those who might have not been here and/or missed the news; here it is.

IMO, there just can't be enough reporting on this outrageous news!

They are now Muslim, like England itself.

In no event, however, would they even be ALLOWED to recite the Lord’s Prayer.

Even if they were already Muslim.

Well, when you become the owner of FR, then you will have the authority.

In the meantime, run along and quit bothering me.

The people in power in England are confirmed leftists whose main obsession is the destruction of Western Civilisation, which is based on Jewish and Christian principles.

Really. Just why would anyone "have to" learn about other religions?

Particularly, the "Religion of Peace". which, by the way, isn't.

I can live with that...

I cannot.

I will not.

And if you are spineless enough to say that you can, then you deserve all the crap they lay on you.

Good for those boys. If I were their father, I would tell the principal how proud of them I am and how disgusted I am with the school and the teacher.
In this UK, though, this would probably be a “hate” crime.

No, they don't have to "learn" about other religions. They just have to learn about the one true religion and worship Him, and Him alone.

And God spoke all these words:

"I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

"You shall have no other gods before me.

"You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.

"You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
