Christian children are being deprived of their education and being ousted from schools for refusing to wear a hijab, it has been revealed.
Schools across Egypt are forcing girls of every religion to wear the Muslim headscarf and children of both sexes are being punished if they cannot quote the Quran off by heart.
Even Muslim girls who refuse to wear a hijab are being forced out of school in a country where Coptic Christians have previously been able to live free of persecution.
Rahman Salem, 12, was ordered to leave her lesson and banned from taking part in any activities at her school in the Delta, northern Egypt.
Other pupils gave her nasty looks and started leaving the
Muslim girl out over the incident.
She said: “I was made to stand all alone in the school
courtyard.
“The headmistress later came to me and said: ‘Here in school, you put on the headscarf. Outside, you may do as
you wish.’
“No girl can show up with her hair showing. They all have to wear the hijab.
“Christian girls have to wear the hijab. As soon as the end-of-day bell rings, they start taking it off.”
“I was told ‘Stop being an idiot! Don’t you want
your daughter to be decent?’. Mother
Schools showed children what was acceptable uniform and what was not.
Her mother said: “I was told ‘Stop being an idiot! Don’t you want your daughter to be decent?’.
“I was shocked when other mothers stopped me at the gate.
‘What’s that? How can your daughter show up like this?’
“I re-inspected my daughter’s uniform, and incredulously asked what was wrong. ‘Her head and neck have to be strictly covered!’”
Last month another school in the same province of Sharqia put in force rules to make all female students wear a hijab,
with the al-Nassiriya School’s headteacher posting a large sign saying Islam dress is now part of the girls’ uniform.
And Christian seven-year-old Viola Samir told how her Islamic religious studies teacher held eight Christian pupils in her class of 35 children back.
The teacher then beat anyone who had not learnt the Quran off by heart.
Usually, Christian students in Egypt move to a different classroom during religious studies classes where they learn about Christianity while Muslims stay and learn about
Islam.
Viola’s father told Christian persecution website, World Watch Monitor: “When my daughter told the teacher that the extra texts were not part of the Arabic curriculum [which all students have to learn], she was severely punished by her teacher.
“The Christian religious studies teacher complained to the headmaster, but he took no disciplinary action against the Muslim teacher.
“In the end, the teacher allowed the Christian children to leave the class to join their Christian studies class.”
Another parent in a different school in the same town of Samalout, 155 miles from Cairo, said his 11-year-old son was caned for not reciting verses from the Quran.
He said: “”Once, the teacher, Mohamed, caned Abanob on the back of his hands, afterwards forcing him to stand with his face to the board and both arms up in the air for the entire length of the lesson.
“My son had failed to repeat the Koranic text by heart when prompted to.”
All the parents said their children now hate going to school and are often absent due to bullying from both teachers and children.
Christian Kyrellos Shafiq, 9, was given a “zero” for his homework and the teacher told him his “handwriting is rubbish”.
His father said: “The teacher made the other students pin down my son as he gave him the bastinado, caning him on his bare feet. It seems only Christians are given this punishment.
“They’re 12 out of 42 in my son’s class.”
Many Christians have been forced to flee from other Middle East countries such as Syria and Iraq due to Islamic State, but in Egypt’s Christian Copts have been able to live within a margin of tolerance.

Thanks for the information. I hope Pep Guardiola repays Yaya Toure's loyalty to the Cityzens with some game time. Respect.

All of us entered recession at the same time and by grace of God no one will leave others. We would enjoin it together till it lasts. can you imagine leave Nigeria for Uk to go and enjoin? he can not tell his mate to do something for us to get out of recession but wished to go and meet white for obodo oyinbo.

TheGoodJoe:


I agree. The team is close to becoming good. The front line needs to move the ball quicker and stay close. I have no doubt that Pep will fix it. Let us wait for the reinforcements of Gabriel and Moreno.

[size=14pt]That Was An Unfair Way To Lose[/size]


The EFL Cup game against Manchester United started promising after Iheanacho missed an early chance to take the lead. He headed a nice cross wide. It seemed a day City was going to play brilliantly but City were not sharp enough in breaking down the compact defensive set-up of Jose Mourinho.

It later looked as if it was going to become a long night until the referee allowed two fouls against Otamendi and Fernando go unpunished. The result was Mata having a good chance to score and the little Spanish player scored the ball.

Even though City lost, that is not a way City should win. Fouling players and the referees watching is disgusting. That is why City players should listen and work with Guardiola. City does not need to resort to cheating and fouling to win games.

The result seems poor but the team looks better. This was one of our best performances today. City should draw strength from that because as long as the team keeps getting better, City will become a strong force.

The fans should not bother themselves about losing this way because it is a long-term process to get a team that will outplay their opponents.

City can feel sad this night but they will have lots of joyous games in the future. It was a brilliant show. Kompany was good. Made some faulty passes but this is due to his long layoff due to his injuries. Maffeo was one of the most impressive players this night. Definitely he was the target but the young man showed bravery. He worked hard and put an impressive performance against some respected players. He showed stamina throughout the game, running front and back with confidence.

City needs to keep working hard to improve their play and master the system Guardiola is teaching. With time, the good results will come.
