I looked it up, as well as I could in a few minutes. Apparently, the restriction is only on (as the story noted) churches with images, paintings, sculpture and such like.

Harkens back to the idolatry provisions which, like so much else, are the same for everybody but everybody interprets them differently.

While I certainly have NO respect for the muslim religion, I do have great respect for a government not imposing a religion on a citizen, or de facto forcing them to do something against their religion.

Here, you have a state actor (school) apparently forcing a person to do something that is legitimately against as established relgious belief (going into a Church).

Alas, as much it disgusts me to side with the muzzie, he's correct.

Bit like Nazis having the right to march peacefully in Illinois.
