Unbelievable story at LGF: British teacher David Holford says that the Muslim blessing “peace be upon him” (often abbreviated “pbuh”), customarily written by believing Muslims after the name of a prophet, must now be written by all British students after they write the name of Muhammad:
The potential problem has arisen in teaching about Muhammad. The exam board requires that every time Muhammad is written, the letters “pbuh” in parentheses be placed after it. This is shorthand for “peace be upon him”. The writer therefore prays a blessing upon him everytime his name is written, as is the custom of Muslims. So I have to tell my students (over and over if there is any hope of them remembering) that they must bless Muhammad every time they mention his name.
Might as well turn out the lights. It’s over in Britain.
