I remember as a Christian being taught the evils of pagans, then finding out later that they had been ~lying~ to me, rather blatantly in fact. For this reason, I never believe what is said about one religion by another.
Oh, the horrors. Teaching children about different cultures. That's a recipe for losing their soul!
I'd like to see that lawsuit. It will fly out of court relatively quickly and I'd like a front row seat.
Go ahead and sue. Then be prepared to face the wrath, not of any magic sky pixie, but of something far scarier, namely, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11.
I would love to be sitting in the courtroom when this lawsuit went before a judge.
Guaranteed to be the first lawsuit dismissed with the comment, "GTFO."
Sorry to double post, but I had one more comment. I tried to read that thread, but had to stop because, except for Purplelinny and Chuck Taylorz, it was filled with so much hate and ignorance I found it painful to continue.
Oh God, that's like, if we were to teach them French, they would...become...Frenchmen....
wait, I learned four years of French and a bit of Islamic history and I'm neither french, nor muslim.
Proved you wrong, dipshit

Afraid of the competition, eh? You see how the Muslims actually have their shit much more together than you do, thus you reveal yourselves to your children as losers who can't even get the trappings of demagoguery right.
Working overtime to pay for a lawsuit? It sounds like you're planning to lose.
No surprise. Rapture Redians are a bunch of dicks. They think most Muslims are cut-throat terrorists and they shut out any information that says otherwise.
'Do you think these women talked about the oppression of women? Or honor killings? Or multilations of female genitalia widely practiced in Islam?'
Hm. Well, since they want someone talking about Christianity at the school to 'balance things out' would they talk about the crusades, the holocaust, slavery, and all the other shit that's been done in the name of Christianity? Oh, don't forget the Oklahoma City bombing.
I agree with Frank about the religion, not race thing.
Is it really any surprise that someone on Rapture Ready is against having people properly educated?
OH NOES!!!!!!! TEACHING TOLERANCE AND RESPECT! WHAT'S THE WORLD COMING TO? OH THE HORROR!!!!!!!
WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!!
What would you base this lawsuit on anyway?
And RSTDT
"I do not think that teaching anything about Islam or muslims is a good thing. I would certainly want to know if this was going on so I could pull my child out of the class that day."
Bet you'd find nothing wrong with a Christian babbling on pointlessly to kids in a Muslim country, right?
"We are not rich but I would consider working overtime to pay for a lawsuit if anything like this happened at my daughter's school."
I believe the courts tend to look unfavorably on frivolous lawsuits.
"And I have already stated educating my children about the evils of Islam so they will not be deceived."
It's perpetuation of bullshit like that which leads people to war. Look, they're just as deluded as you are. Happy now? You're both crazy, you just each have your own particular brand of crazy that you happen to buy into.
I'm actually afraid that just threatening the lawsuit would be enough to make a lot of school boards nervous.
It doesn't sound like it was religious indoctrination so much as a multiculturalism thing. What's next, they'll be discussing Chinese and Indian cultures? The horror!
You know, sooner or later, whether it's in school, at university, or in her future career, your daughter is going to run into an opinion that you don't necessarily agree with, or a person that you would rather she didn't befriend. You won't be able to control what she thinks forever. If you were *smart*, you'd let her go to the classes and *then* you can have a discussion later about why you think Islam isn't a good thing, so she can figure the whole thing out for herself with the rational mind God gave her.
Fucking DIAF. I don't say that often, because I want it to actually be worth something when I do, and right now, I do. Your daughter is getting all the anti-Muslim propaganda she needs whether you're adding to it or not, and if you were at all a conscientious parent, a conscientious member of society, rather than a brainwashed bigot who wants her brainwashing to fuck up the next generation as well, you would be doing something to counter it, or if you couldn't yourself you would be letting your daughter attend this program. You're the one deceiving your children, not the person who's trying to tell them there's more to a religion than violence and repression.
Mother- Now, what do we think of Muslims?
4 year old- they are people just like us mommy! I love everyone!
Mother- *hits child with a stick* NO, YOU HATE THEM ALMOST AS MUCH AS YOU HATE FAGS, LIBERALS AND ATHEISTS!
4 year old- *crying* But you told me to love every one
Mother- only those that god loves
THEN HOMESCHOOL AND KEEP YOUR SHIT* OUT OF THE SYSTEM!
*By her shit I mean her fundyness, not her child.
Rapture Ready always oozes bigotry, xenophobia, and a sense of "my God's dick is bigger than any others'."
Sickening bastards. Racist twits. Closed-minded primitives.
Wouldn't knowing something about Muslims make it easier to witness to them? Or would you rather keep the gospel for yourself, like the faithless servant did in the parable of the talents?
Now there's a dilemma for you.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
