Schoolboys punished with detention for refusing to kneel in class and pray to Allah

Yet more stomach-turning politically correct moonbattery from Britain.

Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and ‘pray to Allah’ during a religious education lesson. Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped. They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent – which included wearing Muslim headgear – was a breach of their human rights.

D’ya think? FORCING participation in prayer…in someone ELSE’S religion? Of course this couldn’t happen here, could it?

(Oh, it already did? In California – of course – and with nary a squawk out of the ACLU.

One parent, Sharon Luinen, said: “This isn’t right, it’s taking things too far. “I understand that they have to learn about other religions. I can live with that but it is taking it a step too far to be punished because they wouldn’t join in Muslim prayer. Making them pray to Allah, who isn’t who they worship, is wrong and what got me is that they were told they were being disrespectful.”

HUH? The kids were disrespectful?

What about the *$%@&*# teacher being respectful of the (non-Moslem) students own religious views?

The idiocy here boggles the mind.
