Two Non-Muslim School Boys Punished For Not Kneeling And Praying To Allah
Schoolboys punished with detention for refusing to kneel down and pray to Allah
(This Is London)
Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and ‘pray to Allah’ during a religious education lesson.
Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.
They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent - which included wearing Muslim headgear - was a breach of their human rights
One parent, Sharon Luinen, said: “This isn’t right, it’s taking things too far.
“I understand that they have to learn about other religions. I can live with that but it is taking it a step too far to be punished because they wouldn’t join in Muslim prayer.
“Making them pray to Allah, who isn’t who they worship, is wrong and what got me is that they were told they were being disrespectful.
“I don’t want this to look as if I have a problem with the school because I am generally very happy with it.”
Another parent Karen Williams said: “I am absolutely furious my daughter was made to take part in it and I don’t find it acceptable.
“I haven’t got a problem with them teaching my child other religions and a small amount of information doesn’t do any harm.
“But not only did they have to pray, the teacher had gone into the class and made them watch a short film and then said ‘we are now going out to pray to Allah’.
“Then two boys got detention and all the other children missed their refreshment break because of the teacher.
“Not only was it forced upon them, my daughter was told off for not doing it right.
“They’d never done it before and they were supposed to do it in another language.”
“My child has been forced to pray to Allah in a school lesson.” The grandfather of one of the pupils in the class said: “It’s absolutely disgusting, there’s no other way of putting it.
“My daughter and a lot of other mothers are furious about their children being made to kneel on the floor and pray to Islam. If they didn’t do it they were given detention.
“I am not racist, I’ve been friendly with an Indian for 30 years. I’ve also been to a Muslim wedding where it was explained to me that alcohol would not be served and I respected that.
“But if Muslims were asked to go to church on Sunday and take Holy Communion there would be war.”
Parents said that their children were made to bend down on their knees on prayer mats which the RE teacher had got out of her cupboard and they were also told to wear Islamic headgear during the lesson on Tuesday afternoon.
Deputy headmaster Keith Plant said: “It’s difficult to know at the moment whether this was part of the curriculum or not. I am not an RE teacher, I am an English teacher.
“At the moment it is our enterprise week and many of our members of staff are away.
“The particular member of staff you need to speak to isn’t around. I think that it is a shame that so many parents have got in touch with the Press before coming to me.
“I have spoken to the teacher and she has articulately given me her version of events, but that is all I can give you at the moment.”
A statement from Cheshire County Council on behalf of the school read: “The headteacher David Black contacted this authority immediately complaints were received.
“Enquiries are being made into the circumstances as a matter of urgency and all parents will be informed accordingly.
“Educating children in the beliefs of different faith is part of the diversity curriculum on the basis that knowledge is essential to understanding.
“We accept that such teaching is to be conducted with some sense of sensitivity.”

Stand Fast kids. Teach your nation a lesson. Good for you.
July 4th, 2008 at 7:04 pmGood for you for standing up to, no doubt your Christian heritage and beliefs.
Shame on the simple minds that would even consider asking you to bow down to a false god.
Islam sucks.
Mohammed was a pedaphile.
londonistan indeed!
July 4th, 2008 at 7:35 pmMore intollerance from the left in England. At least there are a few kids left with balls enough to stand up to the liberal pukes running the system. May Allah and his child molesting false prophet have his name and memory obliterated from the face of the earth. At the very least why don’t we just call the moon-god Allah by his right name.
Lord of the Flies, Baal, Beelzebub, Lucifer, Father of Lies or Satan…Pick one….
And to the twits that punished these two outstanding young kids: I wouldn’t piss on you assholes if you were on fire.
July 4th, 2008 at 7:42 pmYou forgot P Diddy, Puffy, Puff Daddy … Oh, and The Artist Formerly Known As …

I’m guessing ritual cannibalism is next on the curriculum??
Never kneel for these fuckers!!
July 4th, 2008 at 8:25 pmDamn kids… They BETTER kneel before the one true Allah
/sarcasm
Hell lets force the Muslims to kneel before Christ, I’m sure that’s completely acceptable.
July 4th, 2008 at 9:33 pmNotice they didnt mention what religion the teached was, i think that leaves it easy to assume.
July 4th, 2008 at 9:38 pmProbably too late for England.
The mooselem fuckers are still quite active here also…..

July 4th, 2008 at 9:42 pmthis is the problem in a state where the chief (queen in the occurence or president) is also the head of a religion, or religion as part of the constitution. This couldn’t happen by us, where the state prerogatives are separated of the religious beliefs, no religions are teached in schools, this has to be an extra and private education
July 4th, 2008 at 10:47 pmSounds like this teacher needs to be caned….
July 5th, 2008 at 3:48 amLord of the Flies, Baal, Beelzebub, Lucifer, Father of Lies or Satan, P Diddy, Puffy, Puff Daddy,
John Murtha, Oh, and The Artist Formerly Known As …
July 5th, 2008 at 4:08 amNever thought of calling Allah, P Diddy or John Murtha. Both are evil, but they don’t rise to the 270 million deaths caused by Allah over the last 1400 years.
Calling Allah P Diddy or Murtha would be paying him a compliment.
