http://islamichorrors.blogspot.com - KingRavana, on 07/05/2008, -0/+17This is absolutely absurd. I am all about learning ABOUT other cultures, but I need not PARTICIPATE in them to appreciate diversity. The day some moron teacher makes one of my kids submit to this sort of BS will be the day that school sees heads roll (unlike Muslims, I mean this in the metaphorical rather than the literal sense). This "teacher" is a complete imbecile. Those who think the teacher should be disciplined are wimps. The teacher should not only be FIRED but should lose his/her license to ever teach ANYTHING, ANYWHERE, EVER again. This is NOT teaching, it is attempted brainwashing. It certainly demonstrates the level to which Western educational pedagogy has fallen.
- wright3279, on 07/05/2008, -2/+14That's the way of liberals. Let's all be culturally sensitive. The extent that muslims can practice in the west would never be allowed for Christians or any other religion in a muslim country. Absolutly insane!
- Jake81499, on 07/05/2008, -2/+14If we as a nation don't do something about this islamic BS soon...... Need I say more.
The school where this happened wouldn't have put the student in detention for refusing to participate if it were a Christian demonstration. But an islam demonstration is a whole other story. The parents of every student in that school should pull them out. - jamamiss, on 07/05/2008, -0/+15As a teacher of 11 and 12 year olds, I can't believe this teacher is such an idiot. Why in the world would she REQUIRE these students (or any age student) to bow down to Allah??? Get her away from our children. There is NO EXCUSE for this.
- egg321, on 07/05/2008, -1/+13I had to read this three times to get it through my thick skull....
What the hell is going on across the pond?
If you read the Daily Mail article it has more info. Lame excuses like"At the moment it is our enterprise week and many of our members of staff are away" From the Deputy Headmaster!!! Isn't that likened to our Assistance Principals? So he is basically saying he had no idea whom was in the classroom teaching these students.
And to be given detention for standing up for your Religious Freedom?!!!!????
I would be so proud if one of those students was my child. I would walk around with a shirt saying "My Child Refused to Kneel!"
If these kids are Christian, or Jewish, this "Religious Teacher" made them break the two of the Commandments.
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
There is only one God. The God of Abraham. Islam has created a false Idol. Their Allah is not the God of Abraham. No matter what they tell us.
This "Religious Teacher" needs to go back to school. - trevorcarpenter, on 07/06/2008, -0/+12Go ahead! Bring that crap to the US! I'd be afraid for the long-term well-being of the teacher who tries that crap here.
All the more reason to homeschool. - lwout1965, on 07/06/2008, -2/+5Just waite untill Obama becomes Prez. Im sure it will become mandatory teaching in all our public schools.Screw the Christans and prase Alaha and his muslim scumbags.
- BillE3, on 07/06/2008, -0/+5CAIR has been to infiltrating our schools already. 3 different schools came under public outrage for having an Islamic indoctrination as a mandatory assembly. The school books from Saudies that contained jihad, martyrdom and anti-sementic racist hate were taken out of other schools. All were public schools under federal and state funding.

- kithogan, on 07/06/2008, -1/+4STOP THE ISLAM MOVEMENT NOW...NO SHARIA LAW IN CIVILIZED WESTERN COUNTRIES, NO POOR TREATMENT OF WOMEN AND NO DARK AGE RELIGIONS.......IF THEY COME TO OUR COUNTRIES, THEY CAN ASSIMILATE OR GO HOME.....
- Jake81499, on 07/06/2008, -0/+3The practice of islam is the worshiping of the Devil. And that's being about as nice as I can be.
- FuryOfThor, on 07/07/2008, -0/+11. Turn off capslock. It's ok.
2. Islam emerged in the Dark Ages, yes, but they were the Dark Ages in Europe, not the Middle East. Check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_scholar#Histo ...
3. There are a lot of people in Islam who are total douchebags. Doesn't mean the whole religion is worthless.- tangojones, on 08/14/2008, -0/+1the whole religion is worthless...and dangerous

- DesertDad, on 07/06/2008, -0/+6Well, they've gone balmy across the pond, that's all. When the Archbishop of Canterbury accepts that sharia has a place in England, apparently the only British Christians with spines are these two young men.
I hope their families support them and take heart that in their youth they are wise enough to know the difference between deference and submission. Their teacher obviously has not a clue, and is either a useful idiot or actively supporting the islamification of England. - ReverendJon, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2I think it's a good idea to teach about Allah, After all he may-be serving softdrinks in Hell someday you might really need his service
- skeletonkeeper, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3I hope that school district gets sued beyond its wildest imagination!!!!!!!
