(UK)Jesus Christ 'should be downplayed in school'
The Telegraph ^ | 11.09.12 | Graeme Paton

Teachers should no longer be expected to “accord a special status to Jesus Christ” as part of traditional acts of collective worship for pupils, it was claimed.

Guidance sent out to local committees – established to determine RE in communities across England – called for a focus on a “wide range of religious traditions” such as Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam.

By law, conventional state schools are required to stage daily acts of collective worship that are “broadly Christian” to reflect the country’s heritage.

But the National Association of Standing Advisory Councils for Religious Education (NASACRE) said this was “not intended to be interpreted as Christian worship in any conventional sense”. In a report, it also insisted that long-standing Government advice issued in the mid-90s which suggests most religious assemblies should focus on Jesus Christ should be discarded altogether.

Why Islam? Islam is a terrorist cult according to its own scriptures, the Koran and Hadiths.

One of those is not a religion. It is a death cult.

It is interesting to note that Christianity is the basis for the thought and progress that went into the Magna Carta, which gave all rights freedoms and liberty.

Islam and the progressives are doing their utmost to tear it all down.

Submit!

Their name should read MASACRE for what they are doing to Christianity in the United Kingdom.

This paraody has expanded with each new step toward the Islamization of Britain. I think the first verse covers this latest news.

God Save the Queen

To Muslims don't be rude
Living in dhimmitude,
No offense bring.
Gospel preaching is "hate"
Christian faith second rate
The goal of servile state:
Alllah is King.

For kiddie’s farm set play
We take the pigs away
(They are unclean)
Never make Muzzies mad
They might declare Jihad
And though it makes children sad
Pigs are unseen.

When Ramadan draws near
We forsake ale and beer
(Can’t give offense)
School children can’t eat lunch
Can’t even candies crunch
Lest Moslems’ panties bunch
Dhimmis’ nonsense.

Don’t ignite a Koran
Can’t even burqas ban
They might protest
Shar-i-a’s here to stay
Amputate, stone away
Beheadings on Friday
Thus falls the West.

History books made clean
“Holocaust” never seen
Must teach a lie.
Seperate but equal?
Not in a British school
What is this new found rule?
“All truth must die.”
