From the Express:
Teacher Amber Stables told pupils: “Focus: How would it make you feel having to tell your parents this? How would/could they react?”
Ms Stables added a disclaimer that the homework is a piece of creative writing and fictional.
She said: “YOU ARE NOT ACTUALLY CONVERTING TO ISLAM.
“It is purely to test your knowledge of what we have learnt this year and how well you can argue objectively!!!!”
The news comes in the wake of the Trojan Horse plot last year which saw hard-line Islamists allegedly trying to take over a number of Birmingham schools and oust non-Muslim staff.
A similar incident in California last year sparked fury after pupils were asked to sing about spreading Islam.
Pupils were told to sing: “This is their fight / Spread Islam now / Prove they’re right."I posted on this story previously. It didn't seem like it could possibly be true, but I showed how to confirm it's veracity.
According to my sources at the local mosque one has to recite the Shahada in Arabic "with conviction and full understanding of its meaning" in front of Muslim witness. If the convert is not fluent in Arabic he/she is required to recite the translation in the native tongue as well to demonstrate the required understanding.
ReplyDeleteHowever there are accounts that, in some places, an individual may be tricked into reciting the Shahada in front of witness after which he/she is regarded as Muslim and no turning back except by apostasy punishable by death.
This is usually done to captive women and numerous fatwa support the practice. So you can see the potential danger of such nonsense above particularly if performed in front of a camera.
Who are these women, and what curriculum are they following? Are there PTAs in these schools? Can people get answers as to who is behind these actions?
ReplyDeleteThis would have been my sons homework:
ReplyDeleteDear Dad,
I know you feel horrible about me leaving the church and becoming Muslim but you must understand that I am now 12 years old and at no time in life are a boys hormones more active. Everytime I try kiss a girl they yell ewwww..... go away... Except for that nice Mr Mohammed next door, all their fathers have been chasing me away, he has a cute 9 year old daughter and he told me if I become Muslim and pay him £50 dowry, I can marry her and keep her. You also know I have been saving up for a new mountain bike and ask yourself, what would you rather ride, a new bike or little Fatima Mohammed.
Your son
If enough parents "help" their kids with their homework, they will never have repeats of this.
