They did not support the schools dress and uniform policy, but stated that these religious beliefs should be respected.

If these boys wish to follow slavishly the actions of the prophet, then they should be in a school which accommodates this practice.

There will no doubt be a goodly few kids sporting hairstyles emulating Justin Beiber too Mrs P up Willows Lane.

religion shoudl be kept away from all education and politics period its like having 2 subjedcts of fact been interfered with by a fairy tale yet having influence over the two sensible things.

unfotunatly religion is drummed into people from a very young age and its very hard to shake it off.Even the most hardened athiest will say things like thank god for that and jesus christ that hurt.It shouldnt be brought up until a person reaches adulthood when it can see it for what it is.A total farce from page 1 to the end of its user manual or bible as its called by some lol

Taken to their extremes, both can cause bad feeling and arguments!

However, I think I would rather go to a football match, how many religions serve pies to the fans at half time?

I'm sure there are, but if this does not contravene the dress and unform code of the school then it has no part in this discussion...and they certainly won't be consulting 'elders' to support their case.

Well you should have pressed the school harder in the interests of impartiality and balance to arrange as many cross cultural visits to schools, places of worship etc.

Let me tell you from vast experience, if you ask someone if they are your average politically active person they will insist that they are – and then they will do precisely zero about things they moan about..

I did press the school. There policy was to respect the religious beliefs of other faiths hence no trips to other faiths places of worship. Now the school was respecting there views so they got told to respect mine also. Now i aint a religious person but i believe that all are equal regardless of faith as there is too much ill feeling etc.However, if we were to ever live in harmony then respect must come from all and not the 1

You see how easily you're persuaded?

Think for yourself, not the herd, why do Christians refer to each other as the flock?

Baa, you work it out, it shouldn't need explaining.

Isn`t it a shame Jesus didn`t have a beard, then all the catholic lads (or their parents) could use that excuse.

Isn't it strange?

Jesus without a beard?

Next thing you'll be saying he wasn't a Jew!

What was God thinking of when he created man?
