Teacher Forces Student To Recite: ‘All People Must Submit To Allah’, Parents Fight Ba

Why would the Bible pretend that slavery doesn't exist or try to stop this economic system which has always been here and always will???
The Bible wants people to treat slaves within rules, some of which it sets down for them.

 

the only quiestion I have is what was the class in which the assignment was given?

World religions is a legit subject matter in courses like world history, etc.

 

Being asked to write "submit to allah" as part of a question in a class on religions and actually being forced to submit to allah are two different things. I like how you love separation of church and state when it jives with your xenophobia, but if I said we should pull "under god" out of the pledge of allegiance as well as remove "in god we trust" from our currency, I bet you'd feel different.

 

I'm fine with a school doing it either way or no way.

 

And it does not need to be taught in public schools, period.

 

If there is separation of church and state, then it applies to ALL religions, doesn't it? If you are setting a precedent for Islam to be taught, then Christianity, Judaism and other religions should also be taught. Why are you in favor of a religion being taught that specifically is AGAINST women's and gays' rights when you pretend to defend those two groups? How can you say that that makes any sense at all? Logic would say that you would be CONDEMNING this school and schools like it UNLESS you are a total and complete hypocrite. Let's cut the bull and just admit that Libs condone this "religion" because it is anti American like they are.

 

This is to me an example of waving the religious penis around in public

The nation was also founded by racists who thought only male property owners should be able to vote.
Those facts do not tie the future of our country to those views, nor are we tied to fealty towards christianity.,.. Which let us also acknowledge is a religion with an extremely diverse range if opinion of what it means to be a christian so that the practical implications of the claim if being a Christian nation are obscure in the best case

 

Lumped in the founding, not christianity, although many churches in the U.S. Used scripture to justify slavery

 

How do you know those other superstitions for the weak minded aren't being taught? It's likely a worlds religions class that glosses over some of the main ones. You don't and as usual, go overboard with the anti american nonsense. Think, type, post in that order next time.

 

Even serfdom was an improvement compared to slavery. A slave can be sold, a serf can't.

 

Forcing islam down the throats of our children, against the wishes of their parents, (who , BTW, PAY FOR THE SCHOOLS) is not that.

Get silly much?

More horsecrap. Slavery was practiced WORLDWIDE, centuries ago. It wasn't started in the US, but it was certainly ENDED in the US.

Muslims are HOLDING SLAVES TODAY. Keep coming up with silly crap to defend your beloved islamists.

 

What a bunch of (*)(*)(*)(*)in' NONSENSE. You seriously claim that slavery was "founded in the United States", and that women were never in lower social status before America, either?/

Seriously???!!!

Teachers teaching about religion?

Oh my Allah. This must stop!

If there's one thing worse than Islam it's education!

 

This stuff is such nonsense. For starters, there were no "Christians" in the Old Testament. Secondly, slavery was a common practice that people invented before there was an Old Testament. The OT laws instructed people to treat their servants humanely - a new concept on a very old practice. Thirdly, the closest thing to chattel slavery described in the OT is when the Egyptians enslaved all of the Israelites. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the practice. Aside from all that, if you want to go on believing that voluntary servitude and "indentured servants" were the same thing as black slavery in 19thC America, then you are arguing from an alternate reality.

 

Your post was that the nation was founded on slavery and gender discrimination along with Christianity. Two immoral ideas that have since been abandoned, lumped in with a religion; you are implying that we eventually realized the tragedies of the former, so we may as well abandon the latter.

It makes more sense to argue that just because the founders personally held to Christian principles does not mean they wanted to weave Christianity into the fabric of the new nation. It does not make sense to say they had some terrible views back then and Christianity was just one of them.

 

If it was the Bible we'd be hearing a lot more angry complaints from left-wingers and atheists. Where is the Freedom of Religion Foundation or American Atheists on this issue?

Ideally I'd like any and all religious forms of discussion and expression permitted in public schools as long as it's completely voluntary on the part of the students. I don't believe that a student seeing a Christmas card in class qualifies as "forcing religion on them" or any Constitutional violation.

 

Don't blame women for deadbeat men being deadbeats.

 

Because it's California... LEARN, think, but don't post next time. That is good advice for YOU!

 

So, you don't know? You are just pulling things out of thin air, making assumptions. Or sitting around, waiting to be fake outraged by islam? What, are you a teenage girl, waiting for a scandal? Think, type, post. Remember that. looks like i'll have to repeat it to you each time.

 

Exactly. The hypocrisy of the left is unending.

 

to a point I agree with that. There is a difference between explaining the tennants of a world religion in a world history class and trying to convert a captive audience to Islam or Christianity (or atheism....etc)

I don't think kids should have a choice in course curriculum for required courses such as world history. Simple fact is, they need to know what the major world religions are about. Choice is not an option in any of the above. However, any extra curricular religious thing.... yes, completely voluntary. Sorry if the Christmas card in my class is offensive to you, or that the teacher says "have a safe Christmas break" is outrageous..... but neither are forcing religion down your throat
