I wish more Christian students would do the same.

There certainly seems to be a double standard as well as a mental block when it comes to the Muslims. There are Christian schools where parents can send their children to be brought up among similar thinking individuals. The ACLU has been attacking the smallest separation of church and state ‘offenses.’ But they are totally quiet here. Liars and cowards they are. The Muslims know that they could send their children to Muslim schools where they could pray all day if they wanted to. But they don't. The whole idea is to infiltrate and destroy, it is not complicated. Why we don't do anything about it is fear and we hide behind political correctness to keep us from doing what will eventually need to be done. The plane and simple fact is that,for the Muslim, there is no separation between church and state, none, Zilch, nada, zero. Each and every Mosques is an establishment of a fort, on American soil, of a foreign government. No government office, school, city, county should allow the establishment of any mosque. It places the citizens of this country in great danger. The way of life of a Muslim is 180 degrees away from the rule of law or the Judeo-Christian society our country need to survive. I say that because the Founding Fathers were totally anti strong, big, powerful whatever you want to call it, government. And, one of the most important lines in the Declaration of Independence is “We hold these truths to e self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these right, Governments are instituted among Men,..” Here we see that the only way the Founders could protect those rights for the citizen was to take them out of the reach of men in power. The Muslims have no such protection and frown on such a belief. We, the people of America, blinked once, I pray we don't do it again.

The only problem is getting a Christian child to take his Bible with them to school.

Kids don’t want their peers making fun of them.

We are getting ‘laughed’ into non-existence.

Any student has the right to pray, so in that light there are no special rights.

If they let Muslims disrupt the classroom for prayer - well that would be granting a special right and I am sure the ACLU is not speaking up because that is a biased, fraudulent institution. Let’s see how it shakes out.

Kids don’t want their peers making fun of them. >>

judging from what the school administers said in the article, the muslim students are not being made fun of by their peers.

this kid is practically lying prostrate on the floor with no worries about what his classmates are thinking.

could it be that Christians are week? they seem to be more into the gang banger, MTV, ghetto culture than religion.

And who would be the peers making fun of Christians praying in school, none other than their brother Christians.

I can’t disagree with a thing you said.

Sad ain’t it.
