Without going too far into the semantics except to say that, ultimately, Christians and Muslims are praying to the same god (The Father, Allah, Jehovah - just names) I don't think what the teacher did was particularly wrong. In today's hysterical (on both sides of the religious divide) climate her action was ill-judged and she should not, perhaps, have been surprised at the reactions of some of her pupils so her prime sin seems to me to have been naiveté. If she didn't anticipate the problems that resulted from her over-enthusiastic RE lesson she's not very au fait with today's world, is she?
