What's odd is it's "only Christian" parents that are enraged.
Remember when Burger King had an ice cream sundae cup that had a swirl on it?
Muslims went apecrap because the swirls resembled the loops that mean "allah".
They found it sacriligious.
If the kids made loops and swirls that were not JUST SO, wouldn't that enrage Muslims, too?

The assignment was designed to get the children interested in islam. Not an innocent assignment.

So did they closed Friday so all the new Muslims could go to Friday prayers at the local mosque, or was it to cancel the lesson that involved in-school Friday prayers?

The black Muslim movement is ironic in that it is blind to the role that Muslims played and still play in the slave trade. Nation of Islam people tell black Americans to reject their âslave namesâ and embrace Muslim names when it is very likely that back Americansâ earliest ancestors were herded to the slave ships by men sporting Muslim names.
I find it hysterically amusing that blacks in America just *LOVE* 0bama yet are ignorant that *his* ancestors were likely selling *their* ancestors into slavery.
Same meme as yours but I used different words.
FRegards and Merry Christmas
