India: School bans national anthem, says it’s un-Islamic

Aug 7, 2016 11:24 am By Robert Spencer

The Muslims at the school are saying they owe allegiance to Allah only. This incident should therefore be instructive for Western authorities, as they consider bringing in large numbers of Muslim migrants. But it won’t be.

“Allahabad school bans national anthem, says it’s against tenets of Islam,” PTI, August 7, 2016:

ALLAHABAD: A school here has refused to allow recital of the national anthem by students and staff members on Independence Day, claiming that its words violated the tenets of Islam, following which eight teachers, including the principal, have quit in protest against the diktat.

Authorities said that a probe has been launched against M A Convent School based in Baghara locality of the city in the matter and maintained that it was not recognised by the education department.

Zia-ul Haq, the school manager, told the teachers that singing of the national anthem could not be allowed as the phrase ‘Bharat Bhagya Vidhata’ in its first stanza went against the tenets of Islam, according to the teachers who resigned two days ago.

The manager said that if they were not in agreement with this “policy” of the school, they could leave.

“Most of us have been working here for not a very long time. We were shocked to learn from the management that the school has never allowed the singing of national anthem in the last 12 years.

“Since we had been asked to fall in line or leave, we chose a decision based on our conscience,” Ritu Tripathi, who was the principal, said.

The school has around 300 students.

She said, “Seven of my colleagues have put in their papers in protest against this attitude of the school management”.

Haq, on his part, stuck to his guns asserting “only Allah can be the Bhagya Vidhata, which means the one who decides our destiny. How can we call Bharat our Bhagya Vidhata?”…

    Everything good is non-Islamic.

      …except felafel. That’s probably the only positive contribution that Islam has made in its 1400 years of existence.

        Falafel was probably invented by Egyptian Coptic Christians.

    Meh…. storm in an Assam Teacup.. so to speak 😛

    This is not a school.. it is – effectively – a madrassah, if the Indian Education Department is to be believed. Apparantly it had already been served with a closure notice by the state authorities (about a week before the original article had been put onto the internet).

    Rather than be alarmed (as opposed to aware and alert), we should be praising the Indian government (or rather… its regional government) for identifiying this Islamic madrassa BEFORE the ‘national anthem’ issue, and issuing a closure notice.

    Well done to the Indian authorities for being alert to Islamic supremacist indoctrination/infiltration. My own government (UK) could learn something from them.

      Well, at least Indians are still flying their national flag, unlike in numerous town halls and public buildings in Britain where the flying of the Union Flag and Saint George flag has been banned, so as not to ” upset the immigrants”. Apparently, flying these flags, with their cross motifs, make immigrants feel threatened and unwelcome in Britain.

      • Kay says

        Aug 7, 2016 at 12:00 pm

        Outrageous. I hadn’t heard.
        Do you have links?

          @ Kay

          There are hundreds. PLEASE google ” British Town Halls that have banned the flying of the Union Flag”

          You will be shocked at how low the Muslim arse kissers and apologists running Britain have sunk.
          kind regards.

      At least the Indian government tries to close this school. We will see if this actually happens. In the Netherlands a lot of primary schools are still Islamic. NO control is exercised of the way these children are brainwashed every day, those schools are however paid by taxpayer’s money.

    • Frustrated Indian says

      Aug 8, 2016 at 9:35 pm

      Oh, India has been bending over backwards for centuries. The holiest of cities in Hinduism (like Jerusalem) is called ALLAHabad (abad = abode in Hindi/Urdu, so ALLAHabad = abode of ALLAH).

      • Charli Main says

        Aug 9, 2016 at 6:48 am

        Standard practice of Muslim invaders to convert the holy places of Christians, Jews and Buddhists into Mosques and rename their cities with Muslim names.

        Its symbolic of Islam’s triumph over these religions and the people they have conquered.

  3. jayell says

    Aug 7, 2016 at 11:46 am

    “My own government (UK) could learn something from them”…..I think you’ll find that they’re already on this track. Ofsted have had their knife into quite a few islamic ‘educational’ establishments, and there have been calls to close quite a lot of them down. One of these places was given quite a seeing-to by the inspectors, and has had the sheer effrontery to go the High Court to have the report set aside on the grounds (I believe) of Ofsted ‘not being competent to assess them’, or some other typically islamic, arrogant, supremacist bigotry. We wait to hear what the Court will say!

    • jayell says

      Aug 7, 2016 at 11:50 am

      I should also have added that there has recently been a call by someone in ‘high places’ to ban all ‘faith’ establishments of a certain type. The person may actually have referred specifically to islamic establishments. This is not policy yet, but the thought is there!

      • Luke says

        Aug 7, 2016 at 11:54 am

        Inevitably such a policy would be universal, all religions being tarred with the Islamic brush. Sad. The church has a much longer and more illustrious (IMO) track record in education than the state.

  4. Berengaria says

    Aug 7, 2016 at 11:53 am

    I thought that India got rid of most of these Muslims, by giving them their own country, Pakistan. We tried that with Blacks, we gave them Liberia, but you know how that ended. Muslims are the plague, infecting every Civilized Country. Stop em now, before it’s too late.

    • Charli Main says

      Aug 7, 2016 at 12:01 pm

      We are currently giving large chunks of Britain and Europe to the Muslims and we all know how that is going to end.!!!

      • Kay says

        Aug 7, 2016 at 12:14 pm

        Even allowing Islamic countries to buy sizable blocks of real estate and only Muslims allowed to buy in?

    • gravenimage says

      Aug 7, 2016 at 10:04 pm

      Alas, no. India is almost 15 percent Muslim, and has the Jihad terror to prove it.

      Incidentally, since partition Pakistan has driven out or murdered most of its Hindu, Christian, and Sikh population, while the Muslim population in India has hugely grown.

      • Khushi says

        Aug 8, 2016 at 3:53 am

        Gravenimage,
        Very true, pakistan has killed off or driven off its minorities.
        Population of muslims in India at 15% is a very conservative estimate put forth by Govt. agencies.
        Realistically, their numbers would be at least 20% or above.

        And one more statistic: Bangladesh had 30% Hindus in 1971 who now are less than 7%

    The Muslims at the school are saying they owe allegiance to Allah only.

    Meanwhile, Leftist Liberals in the US are waging an all out assault on Christianity, Judaism, and patriotism. They appear to be mostly America hating atheists or pro-Muslim grovel hounds. These (‘activists’) would fully support Muslims who say they (“they owe allegiance to Allah only”), while also hypocritically condemning the use of the words (“under God”) in the pledge of allegiance.

      Let us not forget that some right-wing Christians are imposing medieval ways of thought on others, and resemble the Muslims in some ways, for example the discrimination of women and gay people, and their resistance to science where it comes to evolution theory. I do believe on the other hand that islamists are underway to kill and eradicate Christians. I would still have my cards on Christians in many countries because this seems to be the only way to stem this barbaric inflow of islam.

    CAN MUSLIMS LIVE UNDER KAFUUR RULE? SIDE WITH KAFIR ARMIES AGAINST MUSLIM ARMIES IF TOMORROW PAKISTANI INVADES INDIA?

    Lately such Disrespect and defiance of National flags has become the norm among increasingly orthodox muslim communities.
    We have heard this same ingratitude and insolence against National anthems and flags in Canada, America and UK.

    Indian authorities must shut down such seditious institutions and throw them behind bars.

    • Paulina says

      Aug 7, 2016 at 2:50 pm

      NO, Muslims are not allowed to be under kafir’s rule according to the Quran. That’s why in Muslim-majority secular countries like Indonesia or Malaysia, non-Muslim will never ever be president or prime minister.

      Exactly. Everyone is happy to attack Israelis for creating a culture separate from Palestinian culture in their new country, but nobody says a thing about the Muslims who killed off the Hindus and other non-Muslims in Pakistan.

    Why doesn’t Haq move to Pakistan? I am sure he will be received as a hero. Devout Muhammedans stood live amongst their own; there are plenty of countries to choose from. Please leave us alone. Sick to the back teeth with these people.

    A similar incident occurred in a school in Melbourne last year. The excuse was that it would upset them based on their Islamic ideology. The hapless school teacher(s) did not intervene, the equally hapless state premier didn’t offer even a whimper.
    These incidents are extremely serious, because they set a precident.
    It is unbelievable, and inexcusable how inept and incompetent politicians throughout the developed world are allowing what is in effect an invasion western democratic countries.
    This is the link to the story:

      I think that Jehovah’s Witnesses also refuse to sing national anthems; however, unlike extreme-leaning Muslims, they (the JWs) are generally pacifists and apolitical (they are also forbidden from serving in armies or police forces, or voting in elections), and they don’t wish to impose Watchtower theocratic law on the whole of humanity (they believe that if and when there will be a theocracy, it will be brought about directly by Jehovah’s divine intervention.

        Aug 8, 2016 at 4:52 am

        Right. They are excused from certain activities if they (or their parents) choose; but they don’t expect to change the whole school (or other institutions).

    Is there a list of the “tenets of Islam” available on the Internet so we may anticipate and guard against this kind of nonsense? Apart from black dogs, bacon, alcohol, music, figurative painting and any sort of fun which are obvious I’m not really cognisant of such things … but should be.

        ….it is a long list of things that are “anti-Islamic”!

    “Democracy is a man-made system, meaning rule by the people for the people. Thus it is contrary to Islam, because rule is for Allaah … it is not permissible to give legislative rights to any human being …” — Sheik Muhammad Saalih al-Munajjid, in fatwa number 07166.

    In his book Jihad in Islam,

    http://pointdebasculecanada.ca/sun-news-icna-disseminates-books-by-syed-maududi-inciting-muslims-to-take-over-the-world-by-jihad/

    Syed Maududi clearly summarized the mission of Islam, as understood by his supporters whether they are in Pakistan, India, or in Canada:
    .
    “Islam wishes to destroy all States and Governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation that rules it. […] Islam requires the earth – not just a portion – but the whole planet.”

    And NO true muslims will ever support America or the constitution… because no muslim believes in the validity of ANY sovereign national country or government, which they see as man-made false idols, to all eventually be destroyed and replaced with their one-world global muslim Ummah, to be ruled by their theocratic caliphate government!

    Why have human rulers – even “elected” ones – to legislate, when “God’s Law” as written in the Qur’an, has long ago been Perfected? To make any laws contrary to it is blasphemy, and to make similar ones is redundant!
