Students in UK Refuse to Pray to Allah and are Punished: It's all Part of Diversity Training

What in God's name is going on in the UK? It's like the whole friggen country lost its brain in an unfortunate plumbing accident.

Of course, this has been going on in slow stages for years with steps so small it wasn't noticed by much of anyone. While it may have been surreptitious to begin with, now there isn't even any desire to keep things on the sly. The more in your face, the better.

The latest is a British school that has reportedly punished students for refusing to pray toward Mecca in a class teaching the students about Islam.

From The Telegraph:

Two schoolboys were allegedly disciplined after refusing to kneel down and "pray to Allah" during a religious education lesson.

A spokesman for Cheshire County Council said 'Educating children in the beliefs of different faiths is part of Cheshire's diversity curriculum'

It was claimed that the boys, from a year seven class of 11 and 12-year-olds, were given detention after refusing to take part in a practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.

Yesterday parents accused the school of breaching their human rights by forcing them to take part in the exercise.

One, Sharon Luinen, said: "This isn't right, it's taking things too far. I understand that they have to learn about other religions. I can live with that but it is taking it a step too far to be punished because they wouldn't join in Muslim prayer.

"Making them pray to Allah, who isn't who they worship, is wrong and what got me is that they were told they were being disrespectful."
This is just one small example of what occurs when the pursuit of diversity and multiculturalism becomes so ingrained that it supersedes an individual's right to proudly embrace his own culture.
