AND *i thought i'd finished but i just got worked up again*

its not as if this was an actual prayer to allah. it certainly wasnt prayer time nor were they asked to wash themselves etc as in preparation for namaz.

from the sounds of it - they're doin a segment on educating about islam and the teachers decided to do a lil practical - two kids refused so she's reported them. the fact that it was an islamic based practical it makes headlines. would it have been this bad if they were made to carry out a mormon/jewish/hindu/sikh practice? no chance in hell.

i could carry on but i know its just going to be fruitless - the next time an ignorant incident happens and its all back to normal.
