BLAINE, Minn. (WCCO) — Some parents in the Anoka-Hennepin School District are questioning a choir teacher’s decision to use a song about Ramadan performed in Arabic at a holiday concert.

At Thursday night’s concert at Blaine High School, one of the songs students will be singing includes Arabic words, including the phrase “Allahu Akbar,” which means “God is great.”

Christian and Jewish songs will be performed as well, but the Ramadan song is getting all the attention.

It started with a post on Facebook. A parent of a ninth-grade Blaine choir student posted the lyrics to the song the choir has been practicing. When others learned students would be singing the song on Thursday, the comments took a turn.

How many times a year is Ramalamadingdong? It seems to roll around just as the Christian and Jewish holidays. Whether it be Easter or Christmas.

Dang! I’m going to have that in my head the rest of the day.

On the bright side, it knocked that song The Final Countdown
from the Geico commercial out.

Not sure. I thought it was once/year and in the fall. Let’s see if someone more knowledgeable can tell us.

Someone should blow up a small paper sack and pop it at the end of the song.

Thanks! Someone posted on an earlier thread about the Fed that they “are getting ready to tighten it up”.

I’ve had Archie Bell and the Drells stuck in my head ever since.

including the phrase "Allahu Akbar", which means "God is great"

When will they learn? It doesn't mean "God is great"; it means "Allah is great". If these were the same being, this deity would not be telling them to kill, maim, tax, or enslave us, while telling us to turn the other cheek. It doesn't make sense. It must be the new math in school these days, because the notion of "Allah" and "God" being one and the same doesn't add up.

Human psychology is a mystery to me.
Why don't the good songs ever stick in your head?

This is ear wash to me. Back In Black. But it won't last long.

The war is coming.

And “educrats” who pushed this cr*p on our children will be considered collateral damage...an accident, of course.

Screw them, and may both cells of their brains be forced to listen to Dorkbama the Muslim speeches in hell.

The parents “question” it? Sheesh! They should boycott it and then start a home-school network for their kids. If all they do is “question” it, they don’t deserve to be parents.

[It doesn’t mean “God is great”; it means “Allah is great”.]

My goodness, someone has figured it out. Good job.

Some people think you can conflate the two just because some people in the Middle East can’t tell them apart.

The spirit of antichrist (small “a”) that is sweeping the world hates that truth. (as you already know)
