Teacher Suspended for

'Punishing Children Who Do Not Pray To Allah'

By Steve Thompson, Midnight in America

Can you imagine a school teacher forcing children in her class to pray a Moslem prayer to Allah, and then punishing those who refuse? That is just what happened in a 7th grade classroom in Great Britain. The story was reported on the WorldNetDaily website (Click here for that story) as well as the Telegraph.co.uk website (click here for that story).

Alison Phillips, the religion teacher, "made the class wear Muslim headgear and watch a short film. Afterward, she took prayer mats from her cupboard and said, 'we are now going out to pray to Allah,' parents claimed." Two boys who refused to pray to Allah were given detention by the teacher who claimed that "they were disrespectful for refusing to kneel down and pray." Parents were obviously outraged, and the teacher has been suspended for her actions as well as other 'issues'. An investigation is in progress.

On the surface this seems a unique story. However, there are reported incidents in many areas in both the UK and the US where Islam is being forced down the throats of our children in school. The WorldNetDaily story covers some of these.

So, how far will this go? As far we allow the 'politically correct' movement to push us. The problem is, as this movement pushes on-and-on the people tire of resisting. Further, if anyone denounces this sort of thing they are quickly accused of being racist, intolerant, and of spreading hate.

It will get worse.
