But if they're already here, so what? Big deal! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14979832 Because the Liberals have forced God out of the schools so why is the dickhead Allah allowed in? I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14979832 And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die. |

Might as well rename it Allah High |

Fight this! 1 John 1–3._ 1Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. @Starknight921 |

User ID: 32113282 United States 01/30/2013 10:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This seems very discriminatory against other religions besides Muslims. I don't get it. Sure people have a right to their beliefs and pray, but that's the school's responsibility to allow it?????????????? I can remember missing school for religious reasons and not getting an excused absence. Nor should I have gotten one. Why do Muslims get preferrential treatment? That's not right. If you look here, then you'll see one of the issues. This is for Chicago for the Islamic prayer times: [link to www.islamicfinder.org] Note that the times change each day. There literally is no way for a school to accomodate the precise time for the prayers, so the Muslim students need to pick alternative schools say an Islamic one, or pray at the times when not in class. It's that simple. The only time I can remember in grad school for a Muslim student to get an accomodation, and believe me this was by both Muslim and nonMuslim professors, was during Ramadan. Since they're fasting, and only if they were say Diabetic, then their blood sugar was low, and they'd let them go get a snack quickly and return quietly. If you start acknowledging everyone's spiritual differences in a classroom, particularly in an urban environment, you could have all kinds of spiritual beliefs and people going in and out randomly. This seems really just dumb and impractical. Last Edited by Don'tBeAfraid on 01/30/2013 10:21 AM Come visit my 900+ posts on rational and practical prepping for getting closer to the Earth and God.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14979832 so what? big deal? the muslims chose to go to a public school and are now attempting to impose their will on that school. if they are so religious and require prayer time different from all other students then perhaps they should have closen a religious school? can anyone say double standard? |
