Santa banned from school because of Muslims

Whatever happened to majority rules?

A Muslim family complained thus he was banned? sorry what a load of BS!

1) If the muslim parents are sending their kid to a school with various faiths, then they should be respecting what ever the school brings to them. If not, then GTFO

2) "Santa" always comes in primary schools for entertainment factor. Under no Islamic law does it say this is wrong.

3) I dont understand why they couldnt get just move the muslim students to another room without Santa.

Im a muslim and even I can say this is a horrific joke. Whats the worst taht could happen with Santa there, get candy? have fun with friends? These sumalian immigrants need to get with the times. Either that or people need to get a life and start getting REAL news. Typical press stiring to make muslims look bad.

Tommorows head line:

"Agnus Road not as clean due to a muslim dropping a coke can". You heard it first...

Whatever happened to majority rules?

I see Free Republic. Yeah, I don't trust a single word that piece of crap site prints. Something else called Red, White and Blue News. Sure, that doesn't sound like they would have any sort of agenda at all. The blog linked to the the first post. This thread. That's 0 for 4 so far. Got a link to a real, credible news site?

This is why I hate "Political correctness". Changing something for everyone because of 1% of the population. Like at my school, Peanut butter and jelly is banned because there are TWO KIDS IN THE ENTIRE CLASS OUT OF 200 IS ALERGIC TO PEANUT BUTTER! So we ban peanut butter and peanuts for everyone.

It's stupid.

That blog is hardly the source of what's being discussed. In fact, it's late on reporting it by weeks.

What I'm wondering here is how come BBC news isn't part of any of these sources? Or even CNN? MSNBC? Fox News? I'm just wondering, none of those names seem to be in the links.

How typical of Muslims to crap all over everyone else's culture despite demanding that absolute respect is paid to their own.dromiceiomimus

Hurray for ignorance! /sarcasm :| Grow up and stop stereotyping people like that. :|

[QUOTE="ferrari2001"]That's a bunch of bull. This guy tries to do something nice for this kids in this program and a muslim family ruins it. Just put the muslim kids in a corner office or something while santa visits. Or have him visit during meditation time, they won't even notice he was there, just stop ruining the fun for the other kids. MrGeezer

Free speech and all.

They had a problem with Santa, so they complained.

No I don't because I'm not a bigot. :| Yout are judging all mulsiums based upon a few examples. Do Christians limit free speech and freedom of will and are ignorant racists because of the Westboro Baptist Church? Do all Jews have big noeses too? Do all American Indians wear headdresses? You cannot judge a group of individuals like they way you did. :|

So your rebutal to me saying you cannot stereotype people like the way you did is a red herring about a spelling mistake? :? Second of all I doubt that is in the Koran, never read it and I doubt you have aswell. My point still stands you cannot stereotype a large body of people like you did.

Religion aside I think it's crap that a few party poopers have the ability to ruin things for everyone else. The guy was trying to do something nice; it's not like his intentions were malicious. BreakTheseLinks

There's nothing stopping the guy from dressing up like Santa and doing charitable work outside of the school.

Idiots. Santa has nothing to do with religion....this sort of growing sensitivity, political correctiveness in america makes me sick.Solid_Snake325

The other parents can complain about Santa being removed...maybe then they'll bring Santa back.

[QUOTE="dromiceiomimus"]Firstly, lol 'mulsiums'. Secondly, I have every right to judge Muslims because of their religion.

As long as people want different things, SOMEONE is gonna get "crapped on". I'm not saying that the school should or shouldn't have caved into that family's requests. I'm just saying that when you look through this thread and start paying attention to peoples' REASONS for why the Santa SHOULDN'T have been eliminated, then the standard reason is generally boiling down to nothing more than this...this outcome is bad because the minorities weren't the ones getting crapped on. That they didn't have the majority opinion, and therefore shouldn't have spoken up at all.

[QUOTE="Theokhoth"][QUOTE="dromiceiomimus"]Oh no, my amusement about your rubbish spelling was purely an aside. Secondly, I have read large chunks of the Qur'an, and I can assure you it's there. Specifically, verse 9:29, which states (Pickthal's translation): 'Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.' Perhaps you should get your facts right before you start pulling things out of your ass about books you've never read.surrealnumber5

So, apparently, the family simply asked for an alternative activity to be offered for their children, not for Santa to be banned. Looks like the issue here is with the school board, not Muslims.

What are you talking about. Quite literally every Muslim I know is tolerant of other faiths. Couldn't say the same about every Christian or every atheist that I know.
