[tigerred59]

Really? Its bad enough their shoving spanish down the throats of our kids, now this shit? At some point, this country has got to move strongly into a mind set that although we are a nation of diversity....our foundation is based on the freedoms of being an American and that entails embracing all that we have and doing it in ENGLISH!! Otherwise stay the **** in your own gotdamned country and live the life you want.....sometimes the only value foreignor's have for this country is the fuckin almighty dollar and thats it.....like **** america, just show me the money and the good life!!

Ok I googled------I agree that using the SHAHADA statement to demonstrate
CALLIGRAPHY-------was bad judgement------It is a statement of religious belief.
It is so important to muslims that some might consider writing it out as
CONVERSION. In the past-------being Baptized----voluntarily or not----was
conversion to Christianity LEGALLY in parts of Europe. Saying the muslim formula---voluntarily or not-------was legal and binding conversion to islam---too.---
probably stiil is in some remote places-----like Iraq. The teacher showed bad
judgement

Google "Muslim calligraphy" or "Islam calligraphy." It's the first thing that pops up. The teacher likely copy and pasted that for a dumb worksheet for the only day of the year they teach about Islamic writing.

This is nothing more than impotent rage from ridiculous conservatives. Their prone to that crap you know.

I disagree------because the FACT is that the thing the teacher chose as
an example is so SENSITIVE an issue for muslims------that spitting on it
could be construed as a CAPITAL CRIME for shariah adherent people.
The teacher should know that. FURTHERMORE----of course I do not know
the content of that course----in "geography"------But there are LOTS OF COMPLEX
calligraphies in the world ---------from Chinese thru Sanskrit, thru Persian (farsi---
which is actually the template upon which Arabic script is based) even thru
the various modes of English. Geography lessons often have kids
copying STATEMENTS OF RELIGIOUS FAITH from various parts of the world
and various religions???. No one ever asked me to make copies of the Bhagavad Gita -----lauding that blue kid------krishna

No this is complete nonsense. The teacher is not a Muslim, she has never converted anyone to Islam, she has been a teacher for a long time; this is embarrassing conservative whining. Much ado about nothing.

Our children will not be learning Arabic and they certainly won't be writing Allah is great. Stupid, stupid move on that school's part

Yeah, our values are freedom of human rights, and anyone who comes here and does anything which we don't like, then we'll stop them doing it and lock them up until they decide to do what WE WANT THEM TO DO. GOT IT?

Problem is now they want to associate anything Muslim or Arabic as evil and bad, so they can ban it, to make themselves feel good.

just one teacher-----sassylassie. She probably has no idea how IMPORTANT
that bit of calligraphy is to muslims------or even how upset some survivors
of Islamic oppression might be by it. I will give you an example------it could
upset my hubby-----he was born in a shariah society. I live in a town that includes
a few muslim enclaves. He will CROSS THE STREET to avoid walking near a mosque. Another perspective might be------if there is a public school in a
muslim area-------try having ALL THE KIDS copy various forms of the CRUCIFIX
over time and place------as a geography lesson (ya know----like the eastern
orthodox things with extra lines and the elaborate gothic medieval ones-------)
then do a project on ILLUMINATING the new testament -----with fancy gold
leaf decorated depictions of the crucifixtion------nice big ones for the
holidays------and for saint Patrick's day------copies of his writings in LATIN-------
for the sake of geography

Whatever happened to those projects?? We live in confusing times.
OUR president has banished the manger from the whitehouse lawn-----but
the SHAHIDA is a school requirement. Starbucks---banished the snowflakes
as a symbol of christmas

Really? Its bad enough their shoving spanish down the throats of our kids, now this shit? At some point, this country has got to move strongly into a mind set that although we are a nation of diversity....our foundation is based on the freedoms of being an American and that entails embracing all that we have and doing it in ENGLISH!!

Yeah, our values are freedom of human rights, and anyone who comes here and does anything which we don't like, then we'll stop them doing it and lock them up until they decide to do what WE WANT THEM TO DO. GOT IT?

I'm not here to shit on anyone, I just get sick and tired of people coming to this country wanting to embrace our values our way of living, etc....and keep the same shit they fled from. We had a guy from Africa here, slice his fuckin wife up because she dared wanted to leave his black ass....20% of my city, half the business's are all in spanish, which means they want only spanish speaking people to partronize their venues, the asians all clump together, you couldn't penetrate their little nook in the city unless your a customer...I mean what is the point of coming to a country and all the **** you want to do is make a buck and dig a hole to hide in???

I'm not sure how we're supposed to respond to an OP in the CDZ that violates all the rules of the CDZ? Is the OP the only person that gets to break the rules?
