ramadan

[Steve0]

Looks like 1 teacher thought 1 pupil drinking water in front of others who couldn't drink it would be teasing but the child mustunderstood and thought it meant he wasn't allowed to drink water all day and the teacher failed to explain this properly.

The school realised the teachers mistake and apologised and said yes of course pupils are allowed to drink water, however they're asked to be respectful of pupils who may be unable to do so, a good thing to teach kids right?

Its clearly not "Oh my god those muslims are making british kids dehydrated ffs" and i'm sure no reasonable person would read that and think anything of the sort. If anyones to blame its a daft teacher.

Letting the non muslims drink would help the muslim kids respect the fact that non muslims don't have to adhere to their stone age ideology.. no?

Or are you suggesting that only non muslims need to 'learn' respect. Because even if it wasn't that's how it comes across.

I mean the fact that this practise makes kids ill should be enough for our government to outlaw it, it's an utterly ridiculous concept - I saw some trailer for some programme (british ramadan or something) and some guy was making big virtue out of it ('it helps us empathise with the poor blah blah)

Firstly if you have to 'learn' this every year then the lesson can't be that good, can it? Secondly, muslims give less to charity than non muslims and volunteer less time. Thirdly, let's be honest, around 95% of muslims wont keep to the fast.

Can't help thinking it's posturing by the religious folks trying to demonstrate their 'superiority' over the weak minded kuffar.

I don't need some out dated ritual to realise people who are worse off than me are worse off than me. Call me crazy!

That said, the teacher is definitely to blame. But her paranoid behaviour hasn't come from nowhere, if you get me.

its a nothing story that will sell papers, how can you not see that?! stir up hate agains muslims and their sympathisers its so obvious, good lord...

Is it true that muslim kids don't have to do re yet others do?

That is absolutely shocking if true, and yet another example of their non intergration and refusal to tolerate others.

 

[Steve0]

the child misunderstood what the teacher said, she was just trying to help out muslim children during ramadan

pc brigade? bleeding heart? people who try to help/support others then, awful people ..

Oh whatever!

Non muslims drinking and eating probably just heightens their sense of unearned virtue.

i don;t think it's quite as nothing as you're making out.

The story in isolation isn't particularly newsworthy, but the conditions that led up to an English teacher feeling she was entitled to tell an English kid he wasn't allowed to drink because some other kids were observing some silly ancient ritual need to be looked at.

It shouldn't even be a consideration, you want to fast because you believe a magic man in the sky commands it then knock yourself out, everyone else is going to be carrying on as normal.

Bending over backwards so we don't 'offend' people is ridiculous and unnecessary.

In religious schools then yes, but neither does anyone who isn't of the same religion/sect/group as the school. For example, a Jehovah's Witness doesn't have to do R.E. in a CofE school. In a secular school, they do as it's part of the national curriculum, if the school is an academy or free school then it gets messy as they don't have to follow the national curriculum.

Well whatever, islam is an ideology. Probably the most far right wing of ideologies out there. Sharia law. Enough said.

You signed up yet, NiK? You sold your soul to those far right racist pricks?

Would you say sharia law isn't a far right ideology mate? I'd research if I were you.

 

[Clint Planet]

If anything its reverse 'racism'

Okay, mate.

Sharia Law is far right, like.

So right wing it's on the subs bench when attacking the Park End.

 

[neil999]
