Parents Question Choice To Sing ‘Allahu Akbar’ At Holiday Concert
CBS Minnesota ^ | December 17th, 2015 | By John Lauritsen

BLAINE, Minn. (WCCO) — Some parents in the Anoka-Hennepin School District are questioning a choir teacher’s decision to use a song about Ramadan performed in Arabic at a holiday concert.

At Thursday night’s concert at Blaine High School, one of the songs students will be singing includes Arabic words, including the phrase “Allahu Akbar,” which means “God is great.”

Christian and Jewish songs will be performed as well, but the Ramadan song is getting all the attention.

It started with a post on Facebook. A parent of a ninth-grade Blaine choir student posted the lyrics to the song the choir has been practicing. When others learned students would be singing the song on Thursday, the comments took a turn.

The reason every damn one of us is doomed is because THESE PARENTS only QUESTION the choice. They should be outraged and pulling their kids out of those schools. Each day this crap goes on, people should be in open rebellion.

No “Deutschland, Deutschland Uber Alles” this year?

Yes, but let's call it "Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken" instead. Or "Gott Erhalte Franz den Kaiser," which is what Haydn called it when he wrote it.

Welcome to Minnesota, the first SHARIA LAW RULED STATE IN THE COUNTRY.

Minneapolis - Mecca West

The extremist Moslems have replaced the old Communist Party USA-dominated Democrat-Farm-Labor Party and the Reds are either happy as a puppy with two peters (City Slickers), or are jealous that the Islamists have taken over their turf.

Remember, the first open Moslem member of Congress in many years is Keith Ellison (D-Minn), a hardcore leftist Islamist and anti-white extremist.

Have an Allahu Akbar Ramadan

That's actually very good/funny. You might have a special talent. Look out Paul Shanklin.

Why all the discrimination against the Aztec and Mayan religions? Let them sing about ripping out still beating hearts.

Christian parents didn’t walk out because they really don’t believe their own Scriptures. By not walking out they became partakers the same as anyone who allows their children to be indoctrinated without opposition. They also don’t really believe what a fearful thing it is to fall into the hands of the real, living Almighty.

They’re very insistent on teaching Arabic words and phrases to Americans. Hardly a day goes by without the media doing so.

Yep. Notice how virtually no effort is made to teach students phrases in American Indian languages- maybe a word here or there but not entire phrases and nothing of great import. But then, American Indians aren't big fat arrogant Arab billionaires.

I am sure that all of his/her fellow liberal pinheads are in liberal ecstasy over the “feel good” idea of supporting Islam when they are so maligned by people who actually have brains!

Depends on the moon, so it migrates around from year to year... I think in 2007 it was in November-December.
