Is Minnesota the next state to go to Sharia Law? Muslim songs in School

[MichiganManLifer]

There will be NO GOD in schools, except for the great Allah? This is pathetic and if we don't wake up soon, this country really will be gone. What's even worse is they say kids can "Opt out" of singing. Great, so either sing or you're not a full member of the chorus.

This is sickening, really.

Parents in one Minnesota school district are in an uproar after learning that an upcoming holiday concert would feature a song that includes the words 'Allahu Akbar' - a traditional Muslim saying meaning 'God is great'.

The scandal surrounding the Blaine choir director’s song choice erupted sometime last week after the parents of a ninth-grade choir member posted on Facebook the lyrics to 'Eid un Sa'Eid,' reported the station WCCO.

Several commenters reacted with indignation to the inclusion of the Ramadan-inspired song in the singing group’s repertoire.

One user reportedly wrote: 'No child should be forced to sing a song about the Muslims and the religion of hatred.'

‘Songs are not performed in a worship setting or to promote religion,’ the statement read, ‘but rather in [an] educational setting where students are learning and performing music.’

However, district officials noted that any student who does not wish to perform ‘Eid un Sa’Eid’ could opt out without being penalized.

If it would happen, which it won't, it would be the first and only.

Minnesota is in a bad spot. At some point, flying out of MSP is going to take some serious consideration unless they are able to get their terrorism problem under control.

 

[MichiganManLifer]

What won't happen, the song? It's happening, from the sounds of it. Kids can "Opt Out" of their own traditions so we can all become good Muslims.

 

[The Tradition]

Eid al-Fitr is not associated with the "holiday season" like Christmas and Hanukkah because of the Muslim calendar. In 2000, Eid was in December. This year it was in July. Inserting it into a "holiday concert" was a highly ignorant thing to do.

STFU, dude. This same choir sings Christmas songs. If they can celebrate Christianity, why can't they celebrate Islam? And for the record, I don't think they should be celebrating either.

 

[Huey Grey]

Absolutely no consistency with the OP.

Because Eid was in July. Why sing an Eid song in December?

God, you're dumb.

 

[naturalmwa]

I appreciate that cons are discovering why religion is bad. This is fun for me. Keep going.

 

[Huey Grey]

Because Eid was in July. Why sing an Eid song in December?

What difference does the month make? They're singing Christian songs. Why are you so angry they're singing Muslim songs? Unless you're a bigot? Are you a bigot?

 

[Huey Grey]

So to sum up the OP's position. Celebrating Christianity? Good. Celebrating Islam? The downfall of our society. This thread is embarrassing.

 

[Vroom_C14]

Are all non-Christian's not taking the 25th off? Or are they taking the paid holiday regardless of their non-belief if Jesus Christ?

 

[Huey Grey]

You realize that Christianity isn't the only religion that does their major celebration this time of year, right?

 

[The Tradition]

God, you're dumb.

No, actually you are. Muslims are offended when Christians and (especially American) Jews assume Eid is Islam's version of a winter solstice holiday because they remember it falling at Christmas time one year.

 

[cigaretteman]

You realize that Christianity isn't the only religion that does their major celebration this time of year, right?

Funny how all these religious holidays seem to coincide with solstices and equinoxes, isn't it?

 

[The Tradition]

You realize that Christianity isn't the only religion that does their major celebration this time of year, right?

You're still not understanding. Islam has no holiday that occurs near the Winter Solstice every year.

 

[naturalmwa]

Because Eid was in July. Why sing an Eid song in December?

"Christmas in July
There's no reason why
We can't have a Christmas tree so high!"

 

[The Tradition]

Funny how all these religious holidays seem to coincide with solstices and equinoxes, isn't it?

You're missing the point, too.

 

[Vroom_C14]

I'm sorry what is the day called here in America again? I know in the UK it is boxing day. But that is in the UK.

 

[The Tradition]

I'm sorry what is the day called here in America again?

Kwanzaa?

 

[Vroom_C14]

Kwanzaa?

Yes, Saturday is when Kwanzaa begins - what is the 25th called? Please Trad - help the less fortunate...

 

[tWarnerHawk]

Are all non-Christian's not taking the 25th off? Or are they taking the paid holiday regardless of their non-belief if Jesus Christ?

 

[Vroom_C14]

Your assumption makes an ass of u, not me.

Thanks for trying and failing though.

 

[ThorneStockton]

I wonder if parents are really in an uproar over a song... Probably just a vocal handful. Sing religious themed songs or don't, who cares.

 

[ThorneStockton]

Are all non-Christian's not taking the 25th off? Or are they taking the paid holiday regardless of their non-belief if Jesus Christ?

I'm taking the 24th and 25th off because they are firm holidays, if they weren't, I'd work. What's your point?

 

[moral_victory]

Yes, Saturday is when Kwanzaa begins - what is the 25th called? Please Trad - help the less fortunate...

December 25th

 

[naturalmwa]

I'm taking the 24th and 25th off because they are firm holidays, if they weren't, I'd work. What's your point?

You must have a lot of willpower to stay firm over these holidays. I plan to eat bacon in honor of our lord. Really thick bacon too, just like Jesus liked it. What? You don't think Jesus ate bacon? Then how the hades can he be perfect and lead you to salvation? If there can only be one god, he will be a bacon eating god.

 

[Vroom_C14]

I'm taking the 24th and 25th off because they are firm holidays, if they weren't, I'd work. What's your point?

Why do you acknowledge this as a holiday? Solely because your firm does or because you are of the christian faith?

 

[Vroom_C14]

December 25th

Ignorance is strong with this one...

 

[moral_victory]

Ignorance is strong with this one...

Oh it is consumerism gift day for Jesus's fake birthday that aligns with pagan winter solstice.

 

[Vroom_C14]

Oh it is consumerism gift day for Jesus's fake birthday that aligns with pagan winter solstice.

That's more like it!

 

[ThorneStockton]

Why do you acknowledge this as a holiday? Solely because your firm does or because you are of the christian faith?

Because my firm does... I thought I made that clear by saying I'd otherwise be working. Just like I don't work December 31st or January 1st, or next year July 1st or September 2nd, I don't acknowledge these as special days but my employer says go ahead and take them off.

 

[The Tradition]

I don't acknowledge these as special days but my employer says go ahead and take them off.

Seems like a sad way to go through life, but whatever doesn't float your boat....

"However, district officials noted that any student who does not wish to perform ‘Eid un Sa’Eid’ could opt out without being penalized."

They'll just be called racists and Islamaphobes.

 

[gonegolfing]

Christian songs in a Christian country shouldn't be a problem. The problem is the lack of understanding by the insecures that raise a stink about the Christian songs.

 

[Vroom_C14]

So your beliefs are not strong, got it.

Regarding the other holiday's you mention - those are not holiday's based upon a religious belief.

 

[moral_victory]

It is only a Christian country to Christians.

And Christian songs are trash.

 

[ThorneStockton]

So your beliefs are not strong, got it.

Right, that's what I was trying to equivocate, that I'll gladly enjoy these holidays despite not being religious. I'll still happily wish people Merry Christmas despite not being religious and have dinner with my immediate family, is that the path you were getting at?

Yep, now you're getting the lesson on why football teams can't pray before a game. This Islam brouhaha is almost a Christmas miracle in the way it brings people around to my point of view.
