Snapped Shot

Seems that that claim of "human rights" has been thrown around a bit too much lately. There is no human rights unless the government and its constitution specifically lay out those rights.

"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."

Another parent Karen Williams said: "I am absolutely furious my daughter was made to take part in it and I don't find it acceptable. "But not only did they have to pray, the teacher had gone into the class and made them watch a short film and then said 'we are now going out to pray to Allah'.

"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."

As part of "MULTICULTURISM", students were forced to dress like Mulsims, kneel down on mats, and pray to the Muslim god in Arabic. Tell me this isn't a test of faith. It may not be a government asking you to renounce Jesus, but to me this is on the same level.

The pressure exerted by a school upon young kids is enormous. Facing detention and derision causes tremendous pressure upon kid's and their new-found faith.

What is sad, is that we see the same thing happening over here in USA. People not being allowed to express their religious beliefs while the Muslim faith is allowed to be actively expressed and promoted. One mother expressed:

"I am not racist, I've been friendly with an Indian for 30 years. I've also been to a Muslim wedding where it was explained to me that alcohol would not be served and I respected that. "But if Muslims were asked to go to church on Sunday and take Holy Communion there would be war."

She is exactly right. How much of an uproar would there be had this Religious Education teacher forced the muslim kids to take communion and pray to the Jewish\Christian GOD? Do you think the teacher would still have a job? But, since the discrimination is in the opposing direction, the kids are the ones in trouble.

Here is the school's defense:

Deputy headmaster Keith Plant said: "It's difficult to know at the moment whether this was part of the curriculum or not. I am not an RE teacher, I am an English teacher.

A statement from Cheshire County Council on behalf of the school read: "The headteacher David Black contacted this authority immediately complaints were received. "Educating children in the beliefs of different faith is part of the diversity curriculum on the basis that knowledge is essential to understanding.

"We accept that such teaching is to be conducted with some sense of sensitivity."

So, the school's headmasters don't know what their teachers are teaching? And once again, kids and Christians must conform to Muslim sensitivities for the sake of tolerance and understanding.

May I ask what business does an early education school have with teaching religious education?

In a semi-related news: Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch finds that CAIR (terrorism supporter) finds something wrong with the FBI wanting to profile Muslims in order to find Muslim terrorists. Seems logical to me.
