Al-
Recently my middle-school son came home with some test papers he had done in his Language Arts class. The usual "add the missing punctuation" sort of stuff. One of the sentences to analyze was: "The family is traveling to Mecca the birthplace of the prophet Mohammed." Apparently, it is OK to refer to Mohammed as a prophet but the schools NEVER refer to Jesus as the "Son of God" or "Lord and Savior".

pigs be upon him.

By saying "Prophet" the curricula will be implicitly acknowledging that Islam over all other religions. Also, I consider it disrepectful and hateful that Muslim textbooks teach that Jews and Christians are the children of pigs and animals, etc. in general. They are hypocrites.

I wonder if they mentioned how old was Aisha when he took her.

"We always say 'Prophet Muhammad,' " Pharoan said. "Omitting the word 'prophet' is disrespectful."

Will they say "The Prophet Moses" and "Our Lord Jesus Christ" as well?

[Rummyfan]

Is this in there I wonder?

"We always say 'prophet muhammad,' " Pharoan said. "Omitting the word 'prophet' is disrespectful."

Hey pharoan, you worship satan and muhammad was satan's prophet. When you become civilized pharoan, you leave uncivilized things behind.

"We always say 'Prophet Muhammad,' " Pharoan said.

"We always say 'The False Prophet Muhammad,' " Pharoan said.

That is how it should read.

When I taught in Framingham, MA the local Muslims complained when the truth about their religion was taught in one class. We had an entire teacher training wasted while they cam in and "educated" us. It was disgusting.

How about sex crazed, slave taking, pedophile, murderer?

[John123]

not only misrepresent Islam, but show disrespect to the prophet Muhammad.

We get it. If changes are not made to your satisfaction, you will send in the homicide bombers to "teach" us infidels a lesson...

"We always say 'Prophet Muhammad,' " Pharoan said. "Omitting the word 'prophet' is disrespectful."

These guys are really starting to get on my flippin' nerves.

[ArrogantBustard]

Oh, bother!

Mad Mo the Pedophile wasn't a prophet. He was a delusional madman.

Calling Mad Mo a 'prophet' is an insult to Moses, Jeremiah, Isaiah ... John.

Yeah, what of it, Mr. Pharoan. Indians all live in teepees, are suddenly called 'Native Americans' to make the other '* Americans' feel better, and we're worshiping rodents.

Meanwhile, dare we bring up the word Christ in school, we're tossed out on our rumps. Shut up, sit down, and embrace the multicultural world you're forcing on the rest of us. No one really, honestly, gives a rip about learning about your cults, and if you're upset that they're not pushing your propaganda right, well, join the Wiccans and the rest in feeling grumpy.

"We always say 'Prophet Muhammad,' " Pharoan said. "Omitting the word 'prophet' is disrespectful."

Guess what, bozo, he's not MY prophet and I don't call him "Prophet Muhammad"...... I can think of plenty of foul names to call him, but let's compromise and say non-Muslims can simply refer to him as Muhammad...... if you don't like it, tough.

[CottShop]

Ya know- I wonder when Islam is going to be totally kicked out of Schools uinder the false 'seperation of church and state' moniker as Christianity has? http://sacredscoop.com

[Spiff]

OK. And from now on all references to Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ must contain the words "Our Lord and Savior". Works for me.
