I've read that the negotiations between the school and the group wishing to rent the schoolgrounds for the event have been terminated. Organizers say they would hold the games this summer, as planned, elsewhere.

According to the Islamic Games website, the event is North America’s largest Muslim sports and athletic event and is “dedicated to promoting physical excellence, unity, and community development.” Sports include ~~~ basketball, soccer, volleyball, pickleball, and badminton.

A lot of muslims play badminton in Mecca?

Why is Islam the only religion that the Radical Left respects.

They must see eye to eye on most everything in terms of global domination.

How can a school host a segregated sports event?

Whatever happened to the Left's fierce separation of church and state?

How can a school host a sports event that is sponsored by a designated terrorist organization?

Pretty easy really when the school and people hosting it are themselves terrorists.

They do? You have evidence of this?

Is there a genital.mutilation event?

"KENNEDY VS BREMERTON SCHOOL DISTRICT"

Not a Christian group being banned from using school facilities. Try again.

No, a simple Christian coach holding prayers after games so even worse on the part of the school district.

Try again, skippy.

Not related at all and SCOTUS ruled for free expression.

Totally related, the man was a coach, he was Christian, he held prayers ON THE FIELD after games, and the leftoids lost their shit over ONE MAN!

Much less a group.

Yes, and SCOTUS got it right because there was no establishment of religion. Completely unrelated to access to public school facilities. Remember, I was a school administrator and I know the laws. You do not!

My schools gave access to religious groups all the time on an equal basis. You cannot discriminate against any specific religion. I'm sorry, but that is an inconvenient truth for you.

Here locally in Tennessee, a football assistant coach was fired for inciting his players to pray and carried a Bible with him on the field. They tried the Kennedy defense but he was actively proselytizing with the players present. Of course there was an uproar, but he was still fired and also lost his job as a school resource officer.

Ummmmm, dumbass, I too am an Academic. Just at a much higher level than you.

Which is curious as I see Christianity discriminated against all of the time and treated wholly different from Islamic faith, which is freely promoted in schools now while Christianity is suppressed.

I don't know the details but separation of church and state is grossly misrepresented, and just gives one more reason to get government out of education (or go to a private school). It was never meant that State should be free of religion just that they should have no say in YOURS; I don't know the particulars of this coach, but if the coach merely made Bible study and prayer available to any students interested, free to sign up or not, then IMO, no law was broken and this coach was wrongly fired.

Both that coach and those students should have been free to pursue an interest in learning about Christianity, on or off school grounds as it were, by an institution of learning, and unfairly had all of their 1A rights trampled.

I bet if that coach had been offering to teach the Koran, there would have been no problem.

Really? Got any examples handy? The last one westwall provided sort of bombed on him.

Your assumption is incorrect. He was fired for praying alone and that was determined to be a violation of his rights, as it should be. He did nothing to encourage or require participation of students. His firing was invalid as he did not establish religion in any way. I fully supported his efforts.

Both that coach and those students should have been free to pursue an interest in learning about Christianity, on or off school grounds as it were, by an institution of learning, and unfairly had all of their 1A rights trampled.

I bet if that coach had been offering to teach the Koran, there would have been no problem.

There again, you are incorrect. A teacher on coach or school grounds is not allowed to participate in any religious activities, Bible, Quran, Torah, or Flying Spaghetti Monster colander wearing. Favoring of one religion over another is the reason for that policy. That would be establishment.

In case you are wondering, I coached for 7 years in my high school in Florida. My girls held a prayer before every game. No one could say a thing because as they gathered together, I walked away and did not participate. I explained to them anytime they asked the reason why.

We Americans must be the most insulated people on the planet. Many of the people like you are showing do not want borders and yet the same borders keep them protected from what could happen to them. It is getting more difficult to defend people like this in a situation of criminal violence in which most are from their Party who do it. And frankly, some may be in the streets doing violence against the perception they have. Self-destructive.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

What is the problem?

Are they allowing gays and transgenders to compete? If not that’s a problem right.

I'm not too hep on a sect emigrating into our country with the goal of not assimilating but dominance and change to their culture.

Grapevine-Colleyville ISD High School Receives Backlash for Hosting CAIR-Sponsored ‘Islamic Games’

Gov. Abbott has designated CAIR a “foreign terrorist” and "transnational criminal" organization.

thetexan.news

Colleyville Heritage High School, part of Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District (ISD), is scheduled to host the Dallas Islamic Games on May 9 and 10, 2026.
According to the Islamic Games website, the event is North America’s largest Muslim sports and athletic event and is “dedicated to promoting physical excellence, unity, and community development.”
The event is for both male and female contestants, ages five to 75 years old. Sports include team sports such as basketball, soccer, volleyball, pickleball, and badminton. Individual events include track and field, a fitness course, tennis, archery, and swimming.

The rules specify that events will be stopped for prayer times.
The website includes a map of the Colleyville Heritage High School campus and athletic facilities.

There are many other national and state organization sponsorships, including the Council of American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) of New Jersey.
On November 18, Gov. Greg Abbott designated CAIR, along with the Muslim Brotherhood, as a “foreign terrorist” and “transnational criminal” organization and prohibited the organizations from purchasing or acquiring land in Texas.

The American left loves Islam, because they have a major agreement. They hate America and obviously so do Muslims, and they know they can team with them to bring America down
