Campus Lunacy

[sirs]

...all the while Christian prayer, even when done by an individual, is condemned if on campus, or a sporting event, while efforts to provide opportunities for prayer and teaching of the Koran are being pushed in all levels of public schooling

[kimba1]

Was not aware other prayer was allowed

[sirs]

Now, if I were xo, I'd be telling you to go google it yourself.  Being that I'm of the model of supporting, that which I claim, indeed, it is being allowed.  In multiple locations, no less

[kimba1]

Well that seems unfair. I maybe biased since I am baptist. I got no issue banning prayer in school due to separation of church and state but then why allow others. You can't say cultural consideration since we can use thst defense also

[sirs]

Of course its unfair, horribly so....but its politically correct to bash Christianity, but coddle Islam, so it gets a pass

[Xavier_Onassis]

I do not think anyone "coddles Islam" in this country.

I have seen no evidence of this whatever,

[sirs]

I just provided one

[Xavier_Onassis]

Prayer officially led by school officials is outlawed as establishment of religion.

I don't agree with "Muslim prayer rooms". On the other hand, the alternative is that some assigned time you might have a several students  dropping to the floor in the classroom or lunchroom to pray, with their butts in the air.

Then the administration has to guard their silly Muslim butts from getting kicked, or simply evicting them from the school. There is no alternative to either let them prsay or throw them out.
Making religious martyrs should not be the function of our schools.

Newsmax has no solution to this, and neither do you or I.

Islam sucks. But we still have freedom of religion.

[kimba1]

If they let muslim get thier prayer then they should use thst room for other folks also. Have no prsyer in class but provide a nondenominational room

[sirs]

Exactly.  But instead you have the left making rationalizing somersaults to justify why its ok for Muslim prayer while we continue to condemn any other prayer.  By every other definition, this is coddling, and worse, its enabling the continued virus of political correctness

[Xavier_Onassis]

I agree that if they have a prayer room, it should be open to all.

Prayer is essentially talking to yourself, so nonreligious people who want to mumble to themselves also should have access.

In Junior high, anyone in the usual grovelling Muslim prayer position with their ass in the air is just asking for a kick in the butt.

When I see a roomful of guys doing this, I cannot help but think of kicking them. Not that I would, mind you.

So you cannot have Muslims praying in the classroom or in the lunchroom.

[sirs]

I agree that if they have a prayer room, it should be open to all.

BUT ITS NOT.....THAT'S THE FRICKEN POINT.  PUBLIC schools, across the country, are condemning and banning anything even remotely Christian, on school grounds, even after a school is closed, but will go out of its way to provide prayer rooms and mandatory teaching of the Koran

[Xavier_Onassis]

No, they do not teach the Koran. Get serious.

[sirs]

I said, in some cases, they mandate some teaching of the Koran, including memorizing some scripture.  I did not claim anyone was taking or teaching Koran 101, Dr Deflection

The fact that there's any such teaching, along with allowing muslim prayer in public schools, while condemning anything/everything Christian, Catholic, or even Jewish, is the present hypocritical issue at hand

Either they all be allowed or NONE be allowed.  You don't pick and choose which religion is to be deemed politically correct

[kimba1]

Uhm I think we're actually all in agreement here.
