Two boys were punished this week for refusing to kneel on prayer mats and worship Allah during a class demonstration on Islam, the Daily Mail reported.
Schoolboys Get Detention for Refusing to Pray to Allah (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,376746,00.html)
Learning about other cultures and religions is a great way to broaden the mind. Still, the teacher went way over the line on this one. To force those boys to pray to Allah as a muslim would, not only runs the risk of treading on those boys religous beliefs, but also makes a mockery of Islam. It would be like 'playing communioin' and having random school kids pass out pieces of bread and expect them to understand catholicism. Very sloppy teaching, imho.
