Amid heightened fears over terrorism, an Orange County teacher has found herself in trouble after ordering her class to sing a song about Islam.
The teacher says she was trying to teach her seventh-grade class about the religion of Islam by using a catchy tune.
Using the melody of the song âThis Is My Fight Song,â the teacher applied custom lyrics, such as:
âLike a sandstorm in the desert, sending camels into motion, like how a single faith can make a heart open, they might only have one god, but they can make an explosion.â
The song was then presented to her students.
Parents and grandparents, such as Nichole Negron and Susan Negron, found out about the song and appeared before the Oceanview School Board on Tuesday night to address the issue.
âI believe that by singing this song, the children feel comfortable believing that maybe Allah is the only god, and maybe that they should start following him,â Susan argued. âAnd that Iâm not OK with.â
Negron says she wouldnât have known that the middle-schoolers were singing the song had her grandson not accidentally brought it home.
Local parents arenât the only ones speaking out.
Ojaala Ahmed with the Council for American Islamic Relations in Anaheim related the song to the recent terrorist attack in Paris.
âEspecially with the recent attacks ISIS has been doing, knowing that this potentially Islamaphobic backlash might come about, what was the teacherâs intention,â Ahmed asked.
The school district released a statement of apology, and says it is looking into the matter.
Get YOUR children out of the government indoctrination centers - NOW!!
Why not have a contest to draw pictures of THE PROPHET?

you teach by making your students think not sing
“Parents and grandparents, such as Nichole Negron and Susan Negron.......”
WTF
A muslim fight song? I prefer this Christian fight song by the great Methodist hymn writer Lelia Morris:
THE FIGHT IS ON
The fight is on, the trumpet sound is ringing out,
The cry “To arms!” is heard afar and near;
The Lord of hosts is marching on to victory,
The triumph of the Christ will soon appear.
Refrain
The fight is on, O Christian soldier,
And face to face in stern array,
With armor gleaming, and colors streaming,
The right and wrong engage today!
The fight is on, but be not weary;
Be strong, and in His might hold fast;
If God be for us, His banner o’er us,
We’ll sing the victor’s song at last!
The fight is on, arouse, ye soldiers brave and true!
Jehovah leads, and victory will assure;
Go buckle on the armor God has given you,
And in His strength unto the end endure.
Refrain
The Lord is leading on to certain victory;
The bow of promise spans the eastern sky;
His glorious name in every land shall honored be;
The morn will break, the dawn of peace is nigh.
Refrain
She’s have to move i she did this on Staten Island. maybe witness protection :)
Double Pneumonia! Back-to-back hits by the same artist!
THE CONFLICT OF THE AGES
(Lelia Morris, 1912)
O, the conflict of the ages
Is upon us today,
And the armies are assembling
All in battle array;
Are you numbered with the faithful,
One of God’s loyal few,
Who have sworn Him full allegiance?
Can He count upon you?
Refrain:
Have your eyes caught the vision?
Have your hearts felt the thrill?
To the call of the Master
Do you answer, “I will”?
For the conflict of the ages,
Told by prophets and by sages,
In its fury is upon us,
Is upon us today.
Catch the vision of a lost world
Going downward in sin,
While the Masterâs great commission
Long unheeded has been;
See the children of the kingdom
Joined in heart and in hand,
Pressing forward in the struggle
To redeem this fair land.
Refrain
See the Church of God awaking
And with glorious zest
She is laying on her altars
Now her noblest and blest;
Toward the final consummation
We are hastening on,
And the time for loyal service
Will forever be done.
Refrain
Tell the teacher to don her burgua and STFU....where on Earth do these nitwits come from...good grief....her I.Q. has to be somewhere near room temperature........a cold room!!!
Hundreds of irate parents are planning to attend the Walton County, Georgia, school board meeting Oct. 10 to convey their outrage over their children being taught the religious beliefs of Islam in middle-school social studies.
The outrage erupted over a quiz handed out to students asking them to answer questions related to the five pillars of Islam, the Quran as the holy book of Muslims, and the conversion prayer known as the shahada, which states, ...There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.â
...MMost disturbing to Christian parents was the âcorrectâ answer that the Muslim god Allah is the âsame godâ that is worshiped by Christians and Jews.
“They can make an explosion”
Hahahaha!
Um, yeah. That’s the problem.
freedom from religion nuts are mighty silent on this
If I were a parent of any of these children I would be filled with righteous indignation concerning what has taken place over an extended period of time (it takes days, if not weeks for young children to learn a song with these kind of words) and would continue to put massive pressure, including legal recourse to bear against the teacher, the principal the school district and EVERYONE involved until this teacher is removed from teaching altogether. This teachers actions are unconcionable; a simple, unrepentant, half-hearted "apology" is utterly insufficient for a crime such as this, and yes it is a crime.
This would be equivalent to an American teacher teaching her children "catchy", hate filled anti-American Nazi, SS tunes or marching songs during the height of WWII! If this event had happened at that time I dare say the parents would have tarred and feathered her if they didn't string her up, or hand her over to the FBI as a traitor!

Complex.
Muslims are not here to learn or adapt to our way of life...they are here to convert all to Islamic beliefs...period...Their Koran tells them it is their duty to do so....and they're all doing it.
They are getting away with this because our country has eliminated Christianity from our schools, governments and o also infilitrating our churches.........leaving a vacuum which Islam is filling....” The devil rushed in”.....
