Are you not aware the government sponsor pilgrims to Saudi with Nigerians Money.
And they sponsor Christians to Jerusalem with Nigerian taxpayer's money

It is political and wrong!
How many people benefit from that?
Hajj is not compulsory if you don't have the money or you are not healthy enough

emmatok:

If Muslims must wear hi-jab in school then every religion must wear their own outfits.
Has it occurred to you that Muslims have no issue with allowing people to practice their religion the way they are commanded provided you don't stop us eg some traditional worshipers impose curfew and that we don't like
Think about it and tell me what others want that Muslims have ever objected to?

Attending a government owned school is optional as against the Fact that most government schools were established by christian missionaries. If its a must you go on hijab, u can as well opt for a moslem school where u can wear your hijab to sleep and wake with it, by so doing, peace would rain and we can all have fresh air @least. Dont start up another disaster.

OR
Workdays as Mondays to Fridays odd number years
Sundays to Thursdays - even number years

gratiaeo:
Is there anything useful written in the quran humans did not know before? Why do so called infidels have so much better knowledge of virtually everything except islam than all muslims do? Because islam is nothing but superstition. Muslims think that it is important to pray five times a day in the same direction and so many superstitious things that have nothing to do with rationalitly but much more with superstition and magic. A very good example are the Uigurs in Turkestan. In former times they had been buddhists and belonged to the first who used book-printing. Then they embraced islam and book-printing was forbidden like in all other Muslim countries for many centuries! Why, because it is written in the quran that god teached humans to write with a pen made of papyrus. This teaches us what we can expect if islam once rules the world.
You need to clarify
infidels are the guys the book of Corinthinans say you should not be yoked with. Right?
And the greatest superstition of all is the idea that a 3 month old basis is tainted by an original sin
Does not make sense
what did that baby do?
and did Adam not apologise?

As for praying several times a day
Christians are beginning to copy us - start the day with prayer, do fellowship during lunch break and end the day with prayer
Is it still superstition since you now do it?

Why does Islam attract the ignorant, the barbaric, the uneducated not only that, it promotes barbarism, ignorance and mis-education?

Islam brings out the worst in people, that's why.

The Judge cited religion as not part of education but Religion is education in its own right and education involve religion thus I wonder what the essence of Religion studies in our schools if at the end of the day we won't be allowed to practice what we learned in the curriculum !!

Appeal court is the answer and this should be takened as far as Supreme Court !! .... Hijab is a model of dressing for a Muslim and this pupil/student should never be discriminated against !!

Would you kindly read the post to which I responded?
Allah is the creator of ALL things
Muslims want to belong but somebody was suggesting that those who want religious instruction should go to private school
Muslims have no objection to teaching religion in public schools

Actually it is not everything that Christians want that is reasonable but I accept because it is their religion
I don't understand the reason why students of Babcock university cannot read on Saturdays but I accept is as their religion

Muslims are not talking about practising religion in schools
They are talking about wearing hijab by ladies - a dressing that is compulsory outside the home
Seriously how does this affect anyone? Nobody is imposing it on anyone

If you remove religious practice from schools, Christians will suffer more, I assure you

Christianity is a relationship with God based on God's own work.

Islam and Christianity are philosophically polar opposites.

Islam limits self determination by robbing an individual of personal freedom before God judging unto death those individuals who disagree with its tenets and claims. Christianity thrives when positive volition toward Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is practiced freely before God and not because of an ever present sword of retribution.

The righteousness of the Muslim is an earned badge of merit and based on human works. The merit lies in the individual. Christianity is a Grace system whereby man enjoys a relationship with God based on the efficacious work of Our Lord. The merit lies in the integrity of God. Righeousness is a gift of faith, and not an earned merit badge, imputed to the believer when positive volition is expressed toward the One and Only Son, a standing not earned or deserved but a testament to the Love of God for all men.

Islam mandates murderous action and barbaric practices against non-believers. Christians pray for the salvation of all men.

Islam practices justified hate. Christianity stand in awe at Love of God.

Islam is directed by arrogant self righteous men who ordain the sexual use of little unbelieving girls and comely women while sending the unbelieving young boys and men to slaughter. Christians abhor and reject slavery.

True for both faiths is a final reckoning before the Judgement Seat of God.
Islam is not content to allow God to judge, and instead will rape a virgin girl in hopes of making her, according to their judgement, unacceptable to God. What sort of vile insanity is this? Christians are content that God is the perfect judge where man is not.

The comparisons as opposites go on and on.

Islam and Christianity are polar opposites and one of them is a lie. They do not serve the same God. As polar opposites one is the work of satan, the other the handiwork of God.

Those school are MIXED Religious and gender schools, and uniformity is need.
