Kids told to write 'Allah is God'
By ALASTAIR TAYLOR
August 06, 2007
ANGRY parents have blasted a teacher for telling ten-year-olds to copy a Muslim prayer saying “There is no God but Allah”.
Helen Green is said to have picked the Muslim call to prayer as HAND-WRITING practice.
It includes the lines “Allah is the greatest” and “I bear witness that there is no God but Allah”.
Pupil Billy Darbyshire’s stepmum Hayley Clayton said: “The explanation was that the children were learning about Islam in RE.
“But this was like he was taking an oath. A Muslim child would never be asked to write a Bible passage.
“Why didn’t she choose a passage from a normal story book to teach handwriting?”
Hayley, 23, said Mrs Green — deputy head of Newlands Primary School in Wakefield, West Yorks — had acknowledged it was a “sensitive issue” because three of the 7/7 suicide bombers came from Leeds, 15 miles away.
She added: “If it’s sensitive why choose that prayer?”
Billy’s angry dad Martin, 32, said there were no Muslims in the ten-year-old’s class. He added: “I am not religious but it offended me.
“It must have been worse for children whose parents do have different beliefs.”
Wakefield Council officials said they believed the prayer had been written for RE.

I'm afraid Britain is lost.
They have given up their guns.
They have given up there freedom of travel.
They are giving up their foundation of religion.
They will eventually surrender.

Kinda hard to do that if they've given up their freedom to travel, eh? Besides, we're on the verge of surrendering as well, so it wouldn't do them much good to move here.

What ever happened to using "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog?" or any number of other pangrams (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangram#Perfect_pangrams) that would better exercise the childrens' writing abilities?
Interestingly enough, a quick Google search doesn't turn up much - if any - more details than are posted above. I guarantee you if this happened over here, there would be a HUGE fit thrown in every major national paper, along with several television news stories and a handful of lawsuits to go with them!

BRITAIN is facing a mass exodus of people looking to escape the crime and grime of modern living.
The country’s biggest foreign visa consultancy firm has revealed that applications have soared in the last seven months by 80 per cent to almost 4,000 a week. Ten years ago the figure was just 300 a week.
Most people are relocating within the Commonwealth – in Australia, Canada and South Africa. They are almost all young professionals and skilled workers aged 20-40.
And many cite their reason for wanting to quit as immigration to these shores – and the burden it is placing on their communities and local authorities. [So they are fleeing liberalism! What a surprise!] The dearth of good schools, spiralling house prices, rising crime and tax increases are also driving people away.
Obtaining a visa to live abroad can cost as little as £1,500 for the right candidates. Plumbers, electricians, construction workers and doctors are famously in demand. The only obstruction to emigration from the UK is a criminal record, poor health, advancing age and being a “third country national”.
Liam Clifford, a former immigration control officer, set up globalvisas.com as a one-man band 12 years ago. He now employs 60 people and is in the process of opening new offices in both South Africa and Australia. Mr Clifford said: “It’s absolutely phenomenal. People are trying to get away to wherever they can, and most are successful.
“Ironically, one of the main reasons for leaving is the overstretch of services due to increasing immigration into the UK. People are looking for the better standard of living offered by other countries, as even the most idyllic villages in Britain are under pressure from rising populations.
Skilled labour is obviously an advantage, but so is speaking the English language. Most countries are harder to get into if you don’t speak English. UK plc simply isn’t fighting hard enough to keep its people. Some are telling us they are fed up with living in this country. Even business people are saying they’ve had enough.
“They’re saying ‘I can’t put my children into the right school, but if I move abroad I can’. Most people are very patriotic and don’t want to leave. They’re almost terrified about it. But they say they just have to.
“It’s a shame people at the top don’t recognise they’re not doing enough to retain highly skilled workers in this country. A lot of them are quite young, and they’re not idle. They just can’t see a future for themselves in this country. They want to get married and settle down and buy homes, but they can’t see it happening here.
“And time and time again they are saying to us they don’t want to be seen as racist because they are quitting because of immigration. We tell them of course they’re not.”
According to the most recent Office of National Statistics figures, in 2005 the official number of people leaving UK shores was 352,000 – up from 249,000 in 1995. The majority – around 150,000 – migrated from London and the south east.
Among those who headed out were Simon Blood, 26, and Rachel Roberts, 23, who moved to Australia four months ago. The couple, from Stoke-on-Trent, are loving their new life in far north Queensland so much that they’ve decided it’s permanent.
Apart from family, football and a few television programmes, there’s nothing they miss about home. Embracing the warmest winter they’ve ever known – averaging 24C daily – both relish the commute to work which takes just five minutes, leaving plenty of time for walks on the beach.
Simon, a marketing executive, and Rachel, a nurse, followed their dream after seeing a newspaper advertisement for nursing recruits Down Under.
“It all went very smoothly,” said Simon. “It’s beautiful here and we’ve no plans to go back for good.”
93' Blue on blue August 8th, 2007, 03:30 PM Yes, the astronomic house prices, super high taxes and low income jobs is partly why i left. While we are on the emigration subject, i got my green card today!:D

Wow... wish the U.S. would pick up on this.
Calabrio August 8th, 2007, 04:05 PM i got my green card today!:D
Congratulations!!
And, despite any doom and gloom, I still am confident that the British will remain strong and survive long into the future. Americans and British share a lot. Even if England is a little late recognizing a threat, just like in America, when they do recognize it, they will come together and fight it.
I don't have that same kind of realistic optimism for the rest of Europe though.

Ahh...Wrong! Any god that promises 70-whatever virgins for murdering innocent people has nothing to do with God of the Bible. :rolleyes: Allah is not God of the Bible. Apparently, you're the one who should start with the Bible.

Don't be so quick to tell people their wrong, When your quote of the seventy virgins is not quite accurate, I never knew the word "whatever" was in there!
The moment you say "whatever" your saying "I'M NOT SURE"! And if your not sure, "YOU DON'T KNOW"! The word allah is in the bible, Not in todays version.
When it was translated from the original hebrew and Greece there were several words for God, For simplicity sake they used one name "GOD"!
Just as there were several words for love in the original text, Love of family has a different meaning than the love of sex. but they all were translated with the word "LOVE"!
The name "ALLAH" AL- which mean "add to" plus ELOAH which is Hebrew for GOD.
So you see MUSLIMS do warship the same GOD as Christians and Jews!

That is incorrect. If you have ever read the Bible, you would know that there are several different words in the English version used for God, including Lord, Jehovah, LORD, GOD, and God. The differences of capitalization have significance, as each one represents a different name for God. You really should do your research before commenting.

That is a very weak argument, which uses supposition based on poor knowledge of the Bible. "AL" is an Arabic term which you are splicing with a shoddy misrepresentation of the actual word "Elohim" which is Hebrew for God.
Furthermore, there are at least a half dozen examples I can think of off the top of my head where the God of the Bible CANNOT POSSIBLY BE the same God as Allah.
1. The teaching of Mohammed's writings to the children in Islamist countries is similar to "brainwashing" wherein they chant over and over the same indoctrinations. For example, a signal is sounded five times a day for the children to fall on their faces before Allah. This indoctrination continues on into adulthood. Also, the children are taught, among other things, that Israel and the United States are hated "infidels" and that to kill them is pleasing to Allah and an honorable thing to do. Among the Islamic nations war has almost always been a way of life.
God clearly stated in the Bible regarding the Jews that they are HIS people, and He would bless those that bless them and curse those that curse them. Islam teaches that Jews are apes and pigs and should be slaughtered as such.
On the other hand, the teachings of Jesus Christ are based on love for God, for ones neighbors, for self, and even for ones enemies. Children are taught the love of God via the example of His Only Begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. The free will of the individual is respected even in children. They are taught the way of love and its blessings and the way of hate and selfishness and its consequences, hoping that when the child becomes mature, he or she will "choose" the way of love for their lives. The teachings of the Bible leaves the option of war open, but to be used only for self-defense.
2. Muslim teachings stress that the average person CANNOT know if they have eternal life. The Bible, however, teaches that a person CAN know for sure if they have eternal life.
3. Islam promises an eternal life filled with fornication and homosexuality, and as a general practice encourages such behavior. Mohammed was known for his debauchery. The Bible unequivocally teaches such behavior is sin.
4. Islam teaches that Allah is pleased when muslims strike off the heads of unbelievers, whereas Jesus Christ teaches that Christians are to "teach all nations, baptizing them" rather than killing them. In addition, Jesus taught that we are to love our enemies and pray for them and not to recompense evil for evil.
5. Islam degrades women and children, oppressing the former while sacrificing the younger. Jesus taught men to love their wives as their own bodies. Muslims gladly send their children to suicide bomb Jews and other enemies, whereas Jesus taught that if anyone harmed a child, it would be better for him if "a millstone were hung about his neck and he were cast into the depths of the sea."
6. Allah is the god of submission, whereas the God of the Bible is the God of free will.

I'm sure you'd like to think so. If you're going to make an argument, (I say for the second time now) do so. Otherwise quit your blathering.

What a silly statement. How would my "loss" be meaningful if I wasn't aware of it? In other words, if you fail to show me how I'm incorrect, (by the way in this thread you have definitely failed to do so) how do you manage to claim a victory "in reality"? You can rant all day long if you want, but if I'm unconvinced or present sufficient evidence to the contrary then you have not succeeded in "winning" anything.
But rest assured, if we disagree on Biblical subjects, I will use scripture to back up my statements. I'm not sure you can do that consistently, since you aren't even aware of the different names of God in the Bible.
Run along now, I hear your mommy calling.

What utter nonsense. You sound like a typical Lib that can't debate facts, instead resorts to meaningless arguments. I frankly can care less how many virgins a terrorist thinks he gets for blowing up innocent people. My "70-whatever" was meant to be sarcastic. :rolleyes:
"Allah (http://www.studytoanswer.net/myths_ch3.html) was the pagan moon god of Mohammed's Quresh tribe. The God of the Bible forbids idolatry." God of the Bible would never take on the name of a pagan god. Moreover, the Bible and Qur'an see God as totally opposite. For example, the Qur’an states that God is so exalted that he would never lower himself to have a personal relationship with humans. The Bible, however, (both Old and New Testaments) describe God as loving and wanting to have a personal relationship with humans. This is why he sent Jesus, the Messiah. So, please don't even begin to claim that Allah is God of the Bible.
You know Bible history like Al Gore invented the Internet. :rolleyes:

First of all I'd like to say you are RIGHT! The word allah Is in the original scriptures of the BIBLE! As a matter of fact it appears about 30 times in the Hebrew text and over 200 time in the Greek text!
HOWEVER! As far as being the name for GOD You are WRONG!
It was used for words such as "OAK" In HEBREW to words like "SAVE" and "BUT" in GREEK! But in none of the 300 uses does it discribe "THE CREATOR GOD THE FATHER" Of the BIBLE.
With the word allah be use so many ways in the old texts I can see how someone can be "LOST IN TRANSLATION"

Interesting. You are the only person alive who claims to have read the original scriptures of the Bible. Why, you must put Methuselah to shame. Just how old are you, anyway? And what kind of paper preservative did you use to keep the pages from crumbling? After all, America itself is less than 300 years old and even we have to keep the Declaration of Independence under glass and only let it see light for scheduled times of the day so it won't corrode more than it already has. You should sell your technology to the Smithsonian Institute; I'll bet you could buy a fleet of Lincolns for what you'd get in royalties.
Your argument about the uses of the word God in the Bible is useless because you can't articulate it in an understandable fashion. Is English your second language? Oh, what was I thinking; it must be your third, since OBVIOUSLY Hebrew and Greek are number one and number two, right?
So let me ask you a question: Do you read the Septuagint or do you read the Masoretic text on those ultra-rare occasions when you supposedly read the Bible?

Why so hostel and sarcastic? I do know how to read! This information is avalible to anyone. Just go to your public library, You would be surpised how much information is there. I didn't understand when you said "Your argument about the uses of the word god in the bible is useless because you can't articulate it in any understandable fashion". I mentioned GOD twice, To say "allah is not the GOD of the BIBLE"
and " THE CREATOR GOD THE FATHER". What so hard to unerstand about the way I used the name GOD?
I never had the opportunity to read the MASORA or the SEPTUAGINT. I'm sure if I were around when the 70 Jewish scribes wrote it(SEPTUAGENT), I would have like to!
I never once said that I personally read the original scriptures, much of which was written on stone tablets, and handed down through word of mouth. and I find that to be amazing, considering the dead sea scrolls were only discovered recently and the interpretation is almost 100% accurate!
English is my first language. But I understand a little Portugese,Spanish,Polish and a very little Hebrew and Greek. I really have to rely on English translations.
I know from reading other posts in the forum, That you like a good argument, As for me I'm not much for debating.
So I tried to share a little of what I read and learned, ALL I can say is take it or leave it, It really doesn't profit me any, wether you do or you don't.
