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

Posted on 07/05/2008 6:30:15 AM PDT by kellynla

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."

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

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

Even if they were already Muslim.

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.

I celebrated part of the 4th with some English friends of mine. One guy wore a shirt with a British flag that said "Happy July 3rd". I had to laugh at his good natured ribbing as I sat watching them drink Coors Light and cook hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill.

I have a number of British friends and they have no desire to go back to England. I mentioned something to one of them about Muslims gaining so much power in England and he responded "so what I am here now".

“Well, I didn’t know about this news story and so am glad to see it now. I used to want to visit Britain. Don’t now. Maybe Scotland or Ireland, but these folks are just too moslatto for me.”

If you’ve never been to Ireland, you should definitely put it on your “to do” list.
The countryside is awesome! And I don’t use that word often.
You’ll never see so many shades of green in your life.
Unlike many who live in Europe, Irish LOVE Americans and can’t do enough to make you feel at home.
And it is very reasonable to visit. Two suggestions: Stay at the B&B’s(very reasonable rates & great breakfasts) and stay off the tourist buses (rent a car so you’ll be able to see & appreciate more of the country...and stay on the LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD.)

And no, I’m not on the Irish Tourist Board. LOL

Too bad England is letting itself get (how do I put this nicely) “confused” about what once made it “Great Britian”.

That was her first mistake the boys shouldnt “have to” to learn about any other religion. The UK will soon be our enenmy. We should be prepared to fight her once the leftist and muslims destroy what left of freedom there. I cant believe that more Britions dont speak out about this - this is coming here whether we elect Obama or Mclame - we had better be ready to fight for our independence.

It’s bad enough for a secularist to be forced to pray to Allah. For a Christian, it is an abomination.

The early martyrs were mostly killed because they refused to pray to idols. They died gladly, preferring death to the commission of such a grave sin.

“I am the LORD thy God. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”

This teacher sounds like a little pocket Nero.

At least Neville Chamberlain acknowledged that he’d been duped by the Nazis and resigned. Sir Winston welcomed him back into the government; Chamberlain publicly backed his successor and worked hard for the new Cabinet until his untimely death.

Totally unlike our own treasonous Jimmah Cartuh.

Anyway, someone referred to today’s U.K. as “moslatto”. Will save that term for future use. `Cause it’s true.

England has evidently made a successful entry into wonderland. If it’s called “a practical exercise,” praying can be mandated and enforced. But, if it’s called “praying,” then it’s illegal.

The US made this trip a few decades ago when it was able to criminalize speech by calling it “verbal conduct,” while legalizing the vilest sort of conduct by calling it “expression.”

To recite the shahada makes them a Muslim, especially in the eyes of Muslims. How would this have gone if Muslims were required to take off their hijabs and recite the Lord’s Prayer and the Apostle’s Creed and attend a “mass”, eh? There would be anarchy across the Muslim world. So why are Christians remaining silent over this outrage?

Dude, once a Muslim always a Muslim, so far as the Islamonazis are concerned. What makes you think he was only a “Muslim when young”? There’s no such thing to Muslims. If you are born a Muslim, or raised a Muslim, then you’re a Muslim forever - though you can become an apostate from Islam, which is how the majority of them will view Jesus 2.0.
