America should not be afraid. If it would be better Muslims were the majority.Those two statements are in direct contradiction to one another, aren't they ?
If a child asks me: Who made this leaf? I say, Allah. Allah made everything.
I hope this helps those who think Creationism should be taught in the public schools understand exactly why public schools should not get involved in religion.
Do you think they''ll be able to teach "God made everything" without teaching "Allah made everything", also?

I prefer to hear God made things. Allah is what Arabs call God. They consider it His proper name just as Jews consider God's proper name to be YHWH. I'm not sure why God would need a proper name. Names distinguish members of a group. My name is Jason, so you know I am not someone else. God is not a member of a group so why does he need the proper name?
With the Greek gods I can see, Zeus, Thor, Mercury, you need Proper names. But for the I AM THAT I AM, the Alpha and Omega what's the point?
One thing I hear from muslims is they obsess that the koran is the same today as the day it was originally written. They think that is a big deal. Why? They marvel that this 1600 year old document has not been changed or edited. Isn't the Torah much much older and the same? I believe the Jews have preserved the Torah for what is more like 4,000 years or so unless I'm gravely mistaken.

If you ask me, one size- fits- all schools shouldn't exist, anyway.

I think that if Muslims are running the schools, they'll be saying that "Allah made everything" no matter whether the schools had been secular or satanist before.

Maybe public schools should not get involved in religion, but what is wrong with religious component to education. What is so bad about teaching children that there is a religious tradition and belief that there is one God who created the heavens and the earth? Why withhold information from children in the education process?

"Allah" made nothing.
