Egypt: Christian children kicked out of school for refusing to wear hijab, recite Qur’an

Nov 13, 2016 6:45 pm By Robert Spencer

The world “human rights community” will take little notice of this, if any. And why should they? After all, no “Islamophobia” is being committed.

Coptic Christians protest against the killings of people during clashes in Cairo between Christian protesters and military police, and what the demonstrators say is persecution of Christians, in Los Angeles, California October 16, 2011. Egyptians detained in connection with clashes between Christian protesters and military police that left 25 people dead should be tried in civilian not military courts, presidential candidate Mohamed ElBaradei said on Sunday. The former U.N. diplomat's comments reflect public frustration at the army's handling of clashes on Oct. 9, when protesters said they were attacked by unidentified "thugs" and then said military police used excessive force against them. The authorities have detained 28 people on suspicion of attacking soldiers during the protest. Trials will be held before a military court. Rights groups have criticised the use of such courts by Egypt's ruling army council. The demonstrators are rallying for Barack Obama's administration to intervene.

“Christian children KICKED OUT of school for refusing to wear hijab or recite Koran,” by Alix Culbertson, Express, November 6, 2016:

CHRISTIAN children are being deprived of their education and being ousted from schools for refusing to wear a hijab, it has been revealed.

Schools across Egypt are forcing girls of every religion to wear the Muslim headscarf and children of both sexes are being punished if they cannot quote the Koran off by heart.

Even Muslim girls who refuse to wear a hijab are being forced out of school in a country where Coptic Christians have previously been able to live free of persecution.

Rahman Salem, 12, was ordered to leave her lesson and banned from taking part in any activities at her school in the Delta, northern Egypt.

Other pupils gave her nasty looks and started leaving the Muslim girl out over the incident.

She said: “I was made to stand all alone in the school courtyard.

“The headmistress later came to me and said: ‘Here in school, you put on the headscarf. Outside, you may do as you wish.’

“No girl can show up with her hair showing. They all have to wear the hijab.

“Christian girls have to wear the hijab. As soon as the end-of-day bell rings, they start taking it off.”

Her mother said: “I was told ‘Stop being an idiot! Don’t you want your daughter to be decent?’.

“I was shocked when other mothers stopped me at the gate. ‘What’s that? How can your daughter show up like this?’

“I re-inspected my daughter’s uniform, and incredulously asked what was wrong. ‘Her head and neck have to be strictly covered!’”

Last month another school in the same province of Sharqia put in force rules to make all female students wear a hijab, with the al-Nassiriya School’s headteacher posting a large sign saying Islam dress is now part of the girls’ uniform.

And Christian seven-year-old Viola Samir told how her Islamic religious studies teacher held eight Christian pupils in her class of 35 children back.

The teacher then beat anyone who had not learnt the Koran off by heart.

Usually, Christian students in Egypt move to a different classroom during religious studies classes where they learn about Christianity while Muslims stay and learn about Islam.

Viola’s father told Christian persecution website, World Watch Monitor: “When my daughter told the teacher that the extra texts were not part of the Arabic curriculum [which all students have to learn], she was severely punished by her teacher.

“The Christian religious studies teacher complained to the headmaster, but he took no disciplinary action against the Muslim teacher.

“In the end, the teacher allowed the Christian children to leave the class to join their Christian studies class.”

Another parent in a different school in the same town of Samalout, 155 miles from Cairo, said his 11-year-old son son was caned for not reciting verses from the Koran.

He said: “”Once, the teacher, Mohamed, caned Abanob on the back of his hands, afterwards forcing him to stand with his face to the board and both arms up in the air for the entire length of the lesson.

“My son had failed to repeat the Koranic text by heart when prompted to.”…

    Typical muslum INSANITY.
    What’s next? Will they begin insisting that all girls under go mandatory FGM?
    This has gone way beyond rediculous. But, not a peep will you hear from any Human Rights organizations!

    They should not allow these fundamentalist Muslim teachers to be teaching from the first place. These two provinces where the two schools are located have been know in the past to have some Religious fundamentalism.

      Isn’t the hijab a universally imposed Muslim control-freaky fetish not limited to fundamentalist Muslims?
      How many Muslim women in the Middle East reject the hijab?

      Muslims always seek to persecute non-Muslims when they can get away with it.
      The hijab is just an excuse.

    Every time these Islamic demons persecute a person, they have made another enemy that more than likely will side with democracy if the opportunity becomes available .

      And they should only be accepted into civilised countries
      after they successfully demonstrated their proficiency
      in killing themselves first.

    These children were indeed guilty of “Islamophobia”, Robert. They insisted on acting according to their religious conscience.

    Isn’t that the definition of “Islamophobia”?

  8. Cretius says

    Islam is a political ideology that uses its claim of being a religion to attempt to set up a parallel system of Islamic laws and courts, called Sharia, in every country that it enters. This is the action of a political ideology, not a religion. Islam’s goal is, and always has been, the establishment of Islamic totalitarianism worldwide.

    Historically aggressive Islam has only been countered by military force.

    Look to Europe to see how Islamic Law creeps into the West. ‘Islamophobia’ is an artificial term, coined by Mohammedans, usually teamed with ‘racist’ designed to shut down any discussion or perception by Mohammedans of ‘criticism’ of Islam. It is a direct attack on fact based free speech and criticism based in fact.

    Any ‘religion’ that openly promotes deception and lies to protect and further it’s goals is despicable to non-believers. Unfortunately Western leaders and politicians are abysmally ignorant about the teachings of Islam and it’s bloody and aggressive 1,400 year history of conquest of non-Mohammedan peoples. Islam makes no compromise or accommodation to non-believers. Democracies are fools to not follow the same policy.

    The wholly SATANIC system called islam needs to be BANNED from every civilised society. It must be fully stamped out!
    Only after this Satan founded mass of pig poop has been “Cleaned up” may humans have peace!
