Max,
Your anecdote is such a lesson in tolerance and acceptance. Too bad so many don’t accept the lesson.

Kris, it’s worth noting that part of the prayers is the proclamation, in Arabic, There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet. That simple statement, made in front of two witnesses, is the profession of faith that makes someone a Muslim. Nothing else.

In other words, every one of these “cultural exposure” episodes in which students are compelled to participate in is, if not actually making Muslims out of the children (there is an out for age, now known as the Obama clause), training them to submit.

Feh.

Kris…I wonder if this school also teaches kids how Christians pray…because to many, that’s probably pretty unfamiliar and exotic. Or how Jews pray, which I’m pretty sure is unfamiliar and exotic to the majority of Brits.

Hindus? Sikhs? Buddhists?

Doubt it very much…

Shipmates,

If European Muslims feel oppressed, how would they feel if we just ignored them completely? Even better, why not keep laughing at them and keep waving Maggies Drawers whenever they make yet another attempt to bring anarchy to law abiding countries?

Now, tell me again why exactly ya’ll feel put upon?

In any society healthy enough to have a sense of self preservation, this would already be over. Let’s say Christians were bombing Muslims in Saudi Arabia, how long would there be any significant Christian population in Saudi? Oh, that’s right, they’ve long ago solved that problem.
