Micah Clark, executive director of the Indiana AFA, launched an Internet protest once he heard about the allegations. “What surprised me here is that we’ve had a secular scrubbing of Christmas for so long and the school apparently didn’t see the problem with kids singing to Allah,” he told FOX News Radio. “You won’t even mention Jesus and you’re going to force my child to sing about Allah?

In email correspondence the school initially defended the reference as a way to be inclusive of all religions. However, once complaints starting rolling in, school leaders decided to eliminate the Allah reference.

That drew the ire of the Muslim Alliance of Indiana. “It’s unfortunate if that was removed from the program just because of Islamophobic feelings,” Shariq Siddiqui told the Indianapolis Star. “Schools are a place where we should learn more about each other rather than exclude each other based on stereotypes and misconceptions.”

Forget it Shariq, Christians have tried this and failed horribly.

Dear Shariq,
OK- we’ll include your children in our next song: “Onward Christian Soldiers”. They can learn about our beliefs that way.

I wonder if he would feel as strongly about fair treatment in moslem controlled lands as he does here where he is still a minority???

All the little muslim children should have to sing a song about Jesus being Lord of all and the only Son of God. Lets see how the muslim’s like that prayer..Then serve them pork rinds.....for a snack

I agree completely with that sentiment.

The children should be taught about 9-11, as everything they need to know about islam occured on that day.
