1:17 Muslims can't be lead out of prayer by a female unless she is leading females only. I am a Muslim in America and I have the privilege to pray during it's time and be excused from last period on Fridays to go the mosque. But applying these rules in PUBLIC schools is...strange. That should be left for Private schools.

I am Muslim and don't understand why any Muslim is putting their feet in a public sink anyways all one has to simply do is when they wake up in the morning to make wudu ( physical / spiritual cleansing ) put their socks on after drying their feet and when they have to make wudu again throughout the day make what is called masaab ( wiping over ones socks with damp hands from the tip of the toes to the ankles one time ) that simple some Muslims choose to make it hard on themselves

ive got no problem with any lunch or after school prayer programs for any religion. equal opportunity. and even specials on holidays (eid) (christmas)...yes christmas isnt just about buying stuff...

Okay, so I am a Christian, and I demand kneelers and little chapels at the airports, shopping malls, schools, hmm let's see where else? I demand them in the name of my religion, and I want them right now. I said NOW! I am religious, so that means you have to accomodate my every whim no matter how insane it is. We need to redifine what religion is in this country. We need to redefine what kind of a country we want to live in, because this aint workin. Disgusting.

yep true..i'm not religous but christians should have the freedom to pray..in some schools in california they are making the kids say alah is their god and all this stuff

[goldenfarmer]

well said and sadly so true

[dammee]

[girzwald3]

Yeah "Christians, YOU CANT HAVE PRAYER TIME THATS FORCING YOUR RELIGION ON US.........oh Muslims you can, cause we are scared of you."

[totallybarefoot]

OK. High schools sometimes have "smoking areas" for students, but we can't have a "prayer area" for ANYONE who wants to step out and pray?

Liberals are hypocrites. They call Christians fanatics if they ask for an after school Bible club, but they say NOTHING when Islamic indoctrination is allowed in public schools.
