So, there now exists a handwritten declaration by each student in that class of his muslim faith. And that is about all it takes to be considered a muslim. I shudder for these students if Islam becomes the extremely powerful force here as it is becoming in Europe. These students could potentially face death if they do not keep sharia law in that happenstance. There is no freedom of conscience or religion under Islam.
You are correct. Under Sharia Law, they just became muslims...and can be put to death if they leave that faith.
THIS.
And the ruse was to practice calligraphy. IOW, they wrote their "statement of faith" over and over again. Whatever the magic number (three?), the devious teacher covered that little detail as well.
