Yeah, I’m an infidel to a lot of people. It is frustrating, though, that Muslims come here and demand accommodation in everything while their own cultures do absolutely nothing to accommodate the faiths of others. It seems the height of hypocrisy to demand more than they are willing to grant others. (Of course, as an infidel I realize the reason is because they are The True Faith and I am doomed to go to Hell.)
It appears they would let this child pray in the same place Christian children pray in Mecca. This is the start and with these people there is no end. Next: Foot baths and prayer rooms.
Home school the little bugger. If you can’t make allowances for other religions then there shall be no allowances for Islam either.
This, too, is jihad.
This demand from boy's family needs to be stopped now. They should first go and ask the country they came from this benefit before coming here and demanding and trying to destroy this country bit by bit.
This just breaks my heart.
Next thing you know, he’ll be told he can’t kill infidels.
Somethings wrong with this world......
This has NOTHING to do with providing a place for this kid to pray and has EVERYTHING to do with training the West to bow down and submit to Muslim demands.
Here’s a place for you to go...Mecca, you little Moslem terrorist-to-be.
It amounts to a rote, ritual chanting of a set script. It is more like performing mantras than praying.
You know, that whole Matt 6:7,
“But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. KJV,”
thing that the Bible warned us against?
So do Catholics also get a private space?
Lutherans another?
Baptists another?
What’s good for one is good for all.
Hey, I thought there wasn’t any praying in schools..........what goes? Oh, yeah, Muslim.
Bump that truth!
We need prayer rooms. For example, If a Nazi wants to pray to Hitler, he needs a private place for that. This is what school is all about.
Give her a room right beside the private room for Christian prayer.
I’m fortunate (and thankful) in that the GOD I serve doesn’t require me to pray at a certain time of day. H doesn’t even require me to pray in privacy, or in the open.
He doesn’t require me to pray facing in any particular direction. He doesn’t require me to have a special place from which to pray.
I can pray standing, sitting, riding in a car, sitting on a bus or while at my computer. I thank him constantly that He has no strings attached to prayer other than HIS wish that I do pray.
God point. Im Catholic, and I pray at least 10 times a day.
In my head.
I dont need a prayer rug. I just think it.
I never think of cutting heads off when I pray. Maybe something wrong with me?
Just move up to Canada!
We’re so stupid (some of us) that we set aside a room in every public school for prayer (it has to face east). We also rearrange the seating - a muslim girl cannot have a male student seated in front of, behind, or on either side of her.
We Christians just flee the public school system....while our tax dollars keep paying for this insanity.
ping
Lutherans another?
Baptists another?
What’s good for one is good for all.
Of course not. Catholics, Lutherans, and Baptists don't saw people's heads off when they don't get their way. Don't you understand logic?
Sure it is..... for now.....
And then when the school capitulates to THAT demand, there'll be another, and another, and another.....
And before you know it, it'll be sharia law and headscarves for everyone.
She can homeschool if the school doesn't meet her needs.
