Re: you will pray to Allah

:mosher: I'm with you there Katex

However, this is taking thread wandering to the extremes. We have one perfectly adequate thread about the butty shop saga yet Jambutty has to go and bring it up...

Re: you will pray to Allah

No, it tends not to crop up when I chat to Muslims I know about other things either, but Islam is the actual topic of this thread because it's about 2 non-Muslims who were given detention for...

Re: you will pray to Allah

That's not where I'm coming from Eric. The fact that it was non-Muslims being asked to participate in prayers of Islam is purely incidental to me. As I've said earlier I would feel the same about it...

Re: you will pray to Allah

OK Less, I've read all my posts up to the one of yours where you said I had an unChristian attitude and I can't seem to find anything in any of them which could be what you are referring to. I am...

Re: you will pray to Allah

OK, I'll read everything I've written and try to work out what you may have interpreted as an unChristian attitude but as I have not intended to post anything of that nature then I may miss what...

Re: you will pray to Allah

And I agree that you have every right to feel that way. The school's role is to teach about the existence of religions and about the practices of those religions, not to preach on behalf of any of...

Re: you will pray to Allah

I agree with you up to that point West Ender. If the kids hadn't ended up getting detention I don't think there'd have been any story at all.

Katex may well be right though, the detention could...

Re: you will pray to Allah

I can understand what you mean Katex, but perhaps it is different when you don't believe in anything to play act but I couldn't do that personally because I do believe and I would feel I was being a...

Re: you will pray to Allah

Have you missed what I have actually said on this subject? I have absolutely no objections whatsoever to my children learning about other religions. It's part of the school curriculum and I embrace...

Re: you will pray to Allah

That does surprise me. I always thought it was their aim to convert others to their faith.

Re: you will pray to Allah

I have no authority over the missionaries so I can't instruct them to do or not to do anything. Actually they would much prefer to be invited to share the Gospel with people who have already...

I'm all for live and let live as long as I'm allowed to be let live my way too. Nobody should be forced into something that goes against their own beliefs and culture.

Re: you will pray to Allah

I've asked both my daughters if either of them have ever been asked to act out praying to Allah in their R.E. class at Moorhead and neither of them have, so it looks like it must be down to the...

Re: you will pray to Allah

Actually Mani I am quite appalled that anyone who is not of the Catholic faith should have holy water sprinkled on them and be expected to take Holy Communion (the circle wafer bit). I don't think...

Yes Alec was there when Mimi was which is why it surprises me that he's been asked to do this but she's never mentioned that she was.

Never had either of my girls tell me they had to do it. I must ask them tomorrow as I can't imagine they would have been willing participants.

He will give them the sort of refill they can cope with - but it might not be the sort that can write upside down and glow in the dark.

Not quite. We believe in a loving God we gives people the benefit of the doubt if they've lived the best way within their own belief system.

I feel sadder for the poor biro which spent all its ink...

Re: you will pray to Allah

Learning about another religion is fine by me. I love to learn about the beliefs and practices of others, but being expected to participate in it is something entirely different. To me, as a Mormon,...
