Are Christians not allowed to pray during school? I’m pretty sure that if the entire Christian population agreed that they needed to practice their faith for 15 minutes during school, the school would let them.[/quote]
I think the the point is either all prayer is allowed or none of it. It has to be one way or the other. I don’t give a rip that Islam calls on people to pray 5 times a day, that’s not the schools fault. Besides there are times before, after and say during recess or other times of the day that a student can choose to pray. Why can’t they go to the bathroom and knock out a few prayers.
I find it rather funny that people think Chritians are only called on to pray on Sundays.

Which is exactly the case as far as I can tell. Accommodating major faiths is what’s done by giving weekends off and letting Muslims take a few minutes for their prayers.
Nice. Intolerance at its finest. Your forefathers would be proud of you.
While I think Muslims should prioritize school over mosque, I would condemn prayer in the bathroom due to obvious hygienic reasons. What’s the point of ablutions if you’re gonna kneel on a piss-filled floor?
Well, enlighten us then. What are the other days? Is it structured and compulsory? Passages from the bible will do just fine.

Once again as a foreigner you fail to recognize that our forefathers instituted SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.

Your separation of church and state is pretty much a joke compared to what European’s got. But I’m digressing…
The point is that separating church and state was established to make sure the prevailing faiths don’t crush the ones of minorities. That is at least the way the supreme court interpreted it. I don’t see why accommodating Muslims in US schools violates that principle.
Nephorm, can you please weight in on this? Thanks.

Ahhh Lixy I see the nuts from your mouth have been removed. I hope you got a good dose of liquid protein, you seem to talk in Beta Male language.
Dude it is real simple it’s allow all religions or allow none. Whats so hard about that? It is wrong plain and simple, you think elementary kids care about praying, whatever religion they may be. Hell no! To me it is about the (Extreme)Islam community imposing their will, open your eyes Lixy…or are they covered by protein.?
