What better way to teach handwriting and get your religious views in at the same time?
ANGRY parents have blasted a teacher for telling ten-year-olds to copy a Muslim prayer saying “There is no God but Allah”.
Helen Green is said to have picked the Muslim call to prayer as HAND-WRITING practice.
It includes the lines “Allah is the greatest” and “I bear witness that there is no God but Allah”.

Let me be the first to comment. I thought there was to be no religion or any reference to religion taught in our schools. So if you can’t teach Christanity, then you certainly shouldn’t be able to mention the Muslim religion. Where are the anti-religion fanatics on this one????
The story is in Britain. Our cousins abroad have become dhimmis. We need to stop it here on our shores, because our multi-cultists here will do the same. GB may be too far gone…. or not far from it.

If this story originates in England, no wonder the things are the way they are. Both France and England have let too many Muslims into their countries and slowy but surely they are infiltrating those societies. They pack into certain areas then expand out. If we are not careful here and don’t let the liberal Dimwits get full control, then we can hold them in check in the United States.
I’m not an “anti-religion fanatic”, but I do believe in separation of church and state and I would be outraged if this happened in the U.S.
I am also against the having a Texan pledge of allegiance that references God. The fact that a kid would need a note from home to give “permission” for him not to say it is absurd also.
You’re right, Robert: the muslims have taken over parts of the UK.
When we lived in London (1998-2003), there were parts of the city it was not safe to be perceived to be American. You could be beaten for wearing a Red Sox sweatshirt! My husband quit wearing his western boots because his office was in one of those areas, and we tried very hard to dress and act like the Brits.
Reply to No. 5: Boy, talk about pockets for terrorists to hide and operate from in a foreign country. France had the same problem when the government banned headcoverings, they started rioting there. I think their is a cell here in, I think, Dearborn, Mich or somewhere like that. If the muslims want to stay in this peaceful country and earn some of our respect, they need to start reporting illegal activities to the police instead of waiting until something bad happens and then just condemning it.
Oh my gosh when I was reading this it reminded me of a scene in the Harry Potter movie. IMO it is out and out indoctrination. Just like the teacher in the movie this teacher was one in the same.
We have to be very aware in this country….. what happens in Britain, they want to duplicate here on an even more massive scale.

Please do not get too upset with the acknowledgement of God in the new and improved Texas Pledge.
Otherwise God may get upset!!!
I’m upset with the new Texas Pledge in our schools for the same reason I’m upset with a teacher telling children to write “There is no God but Allah”. Doesn’t anyone here see that it’s the same principle?
#9 - It’s ok, I don’t think there is a God. If it turns out that one exists, then I’m sure it understands me.
Hey Aimster: Madeliene Murray-O’Hair, who’s claim to fame is she was also an avowed atheist, and successfully lobbied to gat prayer elinated from public schools.
She ended up murdered, dismembered and left to rot in a 55 gallon drum, until they we’re discovered some years back.

I wonder if she believes in God now?
Hey PBFloyd: I never said I was an avowed atheist, and I’m not anything like that woman, and I think it’s quite rude to bring her up.
Don’t you think that people who aren’t Christian don’t want to say a pledge in school referencing God, just like the Christians wouldn’t want to have to say a pledge that referenced Allah?
Allah simply means God…
The Muslim prayer should read, “There is no god but God.” Not, “There is no God but Allah.”
Obviously you don’t realize that Muslims believe in the same God that Christians do.
Aimster: Nothing rude was intended, so I would say you are being hyper-sensitive to have taken it that way.
If you don’t think there is a God, then you are an atheist, by definition, pure and simple.
And the reference to God, in the Pledge of Allegiance, does not specify any one specific religion’s ‘God’, no refernces to Jesus, or Allah or Budha, nor any diety directly.
Merely, the ‘one’ God that our founding fathers stated that our ‘inalienable rights’ that we’re given by and intended for us, by our ‘CREATOR’.
Regardless of what one concieves Him to be. So no slight was intended, I assure you, sorry you took it that way.
OH, I know that Allah means God. My point was that I don’t think a lot of Christians would want the word “Allah” used in the public schools like in that article. Yes, it would be silly if the Christian God is the same as the Islamic God, and they really shouldn’t care, right? I was trying to demostrate and explain how I feel as a non-believer. Obviously people are missing my point.
Maybe this is a better illustration of my point:
Would anyone get upset if the new Texan (or National) Pledge of Allegiance replaced the word “God” with the word, “The Flying Spaghetti Monster”??
Well, both of you two, Simp and Aimster can engage in ridiculous moral relativism, if you wish(God’s a tree!, or, God’s whatever you decide!), and be as absurd as you wish!
But make no mistake, if ‘Allah’ is the God Muslims worship, who rewards them for murdering people and cowardly hiding behind lies to perpetrate their crimes, NO, that is NOT the same God I worship.
The God that Christian’s worship is a living, caring and merciful God, and sent his Son, Jesus Christ to die for others sins, even weak-minded deluded fools like you two.
PB - So, you call me “weak-minded” and “deluded” if I don’t believe in your God?
Yep, that’s so typical of how A LOT OF YOU “Christians” treat other people. Which is nothing like how Jesus himself would act.
