For decades the ACLU and allied groups fought to get Christian prayer out of American public schools. They were successful. But now prayer is coming back into the schools, and as long as it’s Islamic prayer, it seems to be fine with everyone. This does, however, reinforce the principle of Sharia that Muslims have rights and privileges to which non-Muslims are not entitled.
“Prayer Room At Public High School Raises Legal Concerns,” by Mary Lou Lang-Byrd, Daily Caller, March 17, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A prayer room at a Texas high school is raising legal concerns and the state’s attorney general’s office in a letter on Friday to school district’s superintendent indicated the school’s policy should be neutral toward religion.
Liberty High School’s prayer room, which is reportedly dedicated to students who practice Islam, allows the students to pray at the school on Fridays instead of leaving to say their required prayers. The letter cites the school’s own news site, which focused on the prayer room.
In a letter Friday to the the Frisco Independent School District, the Texas attorney general’s office outlined the legal concerns over the prayer room, indicating it may violate the First Amendment’s protection of religious liberty.
“Liberty High School’s policy should be neutral toward religion,” the letter from Deputy Attorney General Andrew Leonie to Superintendent Jeremy Lyons said. “However, it appears that students are being treated different based on their religious beliefs. Such a practice, of course, is irreconcilable with our nation’s enduring commitment to religious liberty.”…
“Reports from Liberty’s news site indicate that the prayer room is not available to students of all faiths. Instead, it appears that the prayer room is ‘dedicated to the religious needs of some students,’ namely those who practice Islam,” the letter reads….
“This is my seventh year at Liberty, my first year it kind of started when a core group of students were leaving campus every Friday for Friday prayer,” said Principal Scott Warstler.
“Their parents would come pick them up, so they may miss an hour and a half to two hours to two and a half hours of school every Friday, so I met with those students and a couple of their parents and suggested if they would be okay if the students were able to lead the prayer at school as a group, and we gave them a space to do that so they didn’t have to be in a car traveling thirty minutes each way on a Friday missing an hour, hour and a half, of class,” said Warstler….
Scott Morgan says
Another example of civilization jihad in which Islam makes inroads into a nation and its culture. If this were a prayer room for Christians, think how the ACLU and other liberals would respond. The world needs Islam like one needs cancer.
Noel Eliscu says
The country is too PC and will realize that we are being conquered from within too late
Jim Conch says
All at the hands of the so-called progressives. They don’t care about American, they just want to win votes through playing identity politics.
Dawn says
Get rid of Islsm send it back from where it came. If no Christian prayer rooms then no Muslim prayer rooms. What only freedom religion for one so called pagan religion.
Michelle says
Actually it is not a Muslim prayer room… the principle has stated multiple times it is open to students of ALL faith. The problem is that mostly the muslims are using it. Which means that there is a problem with Christian youth not wanting to pray at school. I think prayer rooms should be opened in every public school across the US- for people of all faiths to practice.
Hadenoughalready says
You’re right; it’s not.
As I’ve said before in another article, their claims to “prayer rooms” is nothing short of a territorial claim, never to be relinquished once acquired.
I’ve seen mozlems pray at their tables and standing in a store kitchen. Even THEY will confess (quietly) that it’s not required.
And Christians don’t “need” prayer rooms. They already have one in their hearts.
Jean Terry says
I agree. They are insidious. It starts this way with little inroads. Also political correctness is such a wonderful asset for them. Where is the Christian prayer room I would like to know as well as prayer rooms for all.
Dockemeyer says
Christians are rather hospitable. I would suggest an offer to SHARE the prayer room. When the Allah worshippers throw a fit over the thought of sharing a prayer room with Christians, well, then we’ll see… Won’t we?
Liz says
Excellent idea!
Paul Wheeler says
The ACLU will never take a case in which Muslims have been given a right or privilege denied to Christians or those of other faiths.
We all know that. Why bother asking?
A few years back the Indianapolis Airport Authority opened a new terminal. Thoughtfully included in the new building was a place where Muslim cabbies could perform their pre-prayer washings. Nary a peep from the ACLU.
But in Christmas 2016 they did find the time and resources to fight a Nativity scene a local town had put up.
Susan Noble says
No way, no how is this acceptable. This is not right. I do not want my children exposed to their culture or religion. They must not take over our society. I pray God is not turning his back on America.
Rex Edwin Robards says
Background: Frisco, where this high school is located, is a suburb of Dallas, which is a hotbed of Muslim activity in Texas.
The school superintendent for the Frisco Independent School District says that this is not an infringement of the mythical requirement for the separation of church and state because the Muslim prayers occur in a separate room that is set aside only for this purpose and students of other faiths are not unwillingly exposed to this activity.
Still, it is the use of taxpayer funding to provide a special advantage to Muslims that is not provided to students of other faiths. Where is the Christian prayer room? Where are the separate rooms for Hindus, Sikhs, Jews, Zoroastrians, Buddhists, etc?
If separate rooms were provided for every possible religions group, it would not be possible to find a working classroom in the proliferation of prayer rooms.
In every suburb of Dallas, there are Christians, Sikhs, Hindus, Jews, et al. What should happen here is that every group should demand to have their own prayer room in this school and it that brings the school district to its knees on the steps of the bankruptcy court, then that is a solution.
Rev g says
That so convoluted, it is exactly counter to the conventional rendering. Previously it was OK for prayer, so long as it was silent, individual, required no accommodation, and did not expose itself to others.
This is specific accommodation, preferential treatment.
Custos Custodum says
The real raison d’etre of the ACLU has for decades been to undermine Christianity.
Many ACLU members and supporters feel that Christianity is inimical to the imposition of totalitarian power and pedophile practices on an unsuspecting people.
That Christians themselves are highly tolerant of others is derided as stupid and social weakness to be exploited by the “Cultural Marxists” and their Muslim allies.
Alex says
No to prayer on any school grounds period. If they want to observe let them homeschool or go religious school. My Tex dollars build the school and that room should be used for better purposes.
Marty says
Will the students be segregated by gender during prayers asking Allah to slaughter infidels?
Shmooviyet says
The girls get the view.
Dhimmi Pricipal Scott is a bigoted p…y, and the school needs re-naming. Is there a well-known muslim Texan’s name available?
john spielman says
instead of ‘LIBERTY HIGH school ” name it: DHIMMI BONDAGE FOR FOOLS HIGH SCHOOL
john spielman says
what? where is the ACLU and FREEDOM FROM RELIGION.org when you need them?
Diane Harvey says
The ACLU’s objective has always been Christianity, and Christianity alone.
Which is kinda interesting as that position points us to the Faith.
Even the devil knows who its enemy is.
Tam says
Yeah… There are campaigns like this:
https://teespring.com/stores/nevertheless-she-persisted-7
“75% proceeds from these designs will be donated to the ACLU to uphold voter rights & the US Constitution or Planned Parenthood for women’s health services”
somehistory says
Exactly so! satan knows his enemy as he knew Jesus of Nazareth was the Christ (still is, of course) and targeted Him to torture and kill.
This should be a wake-up to all who question things. Jesus said His followers would be hated. And He said people would be *rewarded* based on the person’s treatment of His brothers.
Carolyne says
I believe it is not only the “Followers” of Jesus who are persecuted by the Muslims, but any non-Muslim religion. and even atheists and agnostics.
somehistory says
Jesus said His “followers” would be persecuted on account of His Name. He did not say all “non-moslims” would be persecuted.
Everyone may be persecuted by moslims for not being moslim, but only Christians are targeted for being Christian and following Christ.
And, Jesus said people would be separated “like a shepherd separates his sheep and goats” according to **how** they treat His “brothers”…He did not say according to how moslims treat everyone else.
And this is true, whatever you choose to “believe.” If one wishes to be “saved” by Jesus Christ, one must be a “follower” and “put faith in Him.”
gravenimage says
somehistory, surely you as a Christian also care that Muslims are slaughtering Jews and Hindus and Buddhists and Atheists and other non-Muslims?
somehistory says
g,
Have you not read enough of my comments in the years I have been commenting here to know the answer to your question before you ask it?
I said what Jesus said. C commented and seemed to disagree with *me* , but in actuality, she is disagreeing with Christ Jesus…in whom she does not believe.
I said that the targeting… by those who have been busy in the schools since mad murray ohare, the infamous atheist…of Christians to get them out of the schools “should be a wake-up call”.
If you cannot understand that, and if C cannot understand that…then no amount of explanation will suffice. People need to wake up.
Christ Jesus and His Holy Father, are the only hope we humans have for defeating islam.
Atheists are against us in that they say we believe in fairy tales and call us names. They have fought Christians when moslims in this country have been in small numbers. They are still fighting Christians when moslims are increasing…and they are not…not…fighting moslims as they are Christians, as evidenced by the schools teaching islam and allowing prayer therein.
I don’t see that I must proclaim that it distresses me that moslims are killing people all over the world in order to say what the Bible says about those who “put faith in the Son of God will be saved,” and that Jesus said His “followers”would be persecuted. If anyone wishes for Christ to save him/her, that one must put faith in Jesus. MUST. put faith in Jesus if one wants Him to save him/her.
And I didn’t make the rules about who gets “saved” and who is told to “go off into destruction.” Jesus said it. (Matthew 25). Argue with Him if you disagree.
EmHotep says
Step by step.
Cheri says
Yes, each step is small . . . and we don’t dare say anything for fear of being “judgmental.”
I am distressed this morning because I have started going to a new church, only after speaking with the priest to make sure he would not be an apologist for Mohammedism as I saw happening in my last church. But today he equated Muslims with the woman at the well, yet neglected to say how she had been evangelized and only stopped at saying “we don’t judge.”
Step by step we are losing our way and handing over all that is most precious to us.
gravenimage says
Cheri, perhaps your priest is just saying that Christians should reach out to Muslims with the news of Christian salvation–but yes, I can see why you would be concerned by his comparison.
EmHotep says
Thank you Gravenimage and Cheri. I don’t think anyone will be able to take the most precious to us. There is also Jihad Watch, which creates awareness about the danger of islam. It may take time but people are waking up all over the world about the danger.
Peggy says
Slice by slice we’ll eat the whole bread just like bit by bit we’ll lose our freedom.
Every small step Islam makes forward looks benign enough so if we complain we are told we are racist but if they took all the step at once we would see that we are not racist but patriotic.
That’s why they take small steps.
Kay says
Or they could just suffer in those classes they choose not to attend.
They don’t need to be in this country.
If we begin meeting these demands, it won’t stop. All schools and workplaces will their be upended.
Lee says
i guess that’s the plan, they sneak in little by little until it’s way too late to stop it. once done, there will be no turning back. we are doomed unless this stops.
jayell says
I think there have been a few stories on JW about this sort of thing in the UK, but worse. It’s where muslims have got onto the Board of Governors and then start throwing their weight around, intimidating the Head and staff, and demanding that the schools are run along islamic lines even though they are supposed to be secular State schools paid for by the UK tax;payer! The prayer room featured in this story seems to start of the same slippery slope and is totally unjustified if the school has not ;previously made any similar kind of religious provision (e.g., a School Chapel). The only vaguely acceptable way round it would have been to have made it a multi-faith prayer room, but I notice that that’s not on the cards here; in any case, experience with this sort of thing in hospitals has shown that muslims would just take take the rooms over and do things like disposing of crosses etc., and generally making users of other faiths feel uncomfortable. There have also been stories from around the world of muslims being allowed to enrol in Caholic schools, then the (muslim) parents promptly making trouble and demandng the removal of crucifixes from classrooms. In one case the school partly gave in, but in another case (in the Carribean, I believe) the Headmaster told the parents concerned to sling their hooks. That’s what the Head at the Liberty School should be doing.
StacyGirl says
“Liberty” High School. There needs to be a Hindu prayer space with animal sacrifice, a Catholic chapel with tabernacle and mini synagogue. And anything else including Jim Jones koolaid stand. The door has been opened to make this school a place of worship, and in keeping with the equal protection clause, the students need to be greeted by a Baptist choir every damned morning.
utis says
You’re absolutely right. Why not? Fair is fair. And “fair” is supposed to be an “American value.” Everybody prays ostentatiously at school, or nobody does. Just don’t turn your back on the Mansonites if you can.
Rev g says
And let kids miss classes to go pray.
gravenimage says
Kick them out of school if their attendance is bad enough.
Richie says
Have you noticed leftists (even leftist atheists) want all traces of Christianity out of public schools, but want Islam welcomed in schools with open arms?
Dennis says
Richie, you are wrong. Atheist organizations are trying to get all religion out of public, government supported schools. I am sure that they are on this case, as an agnostic I have no special love for theocratic muslims. If they need to pray, they have mosques and private schools. They can pray there. It is not the domain of a public school, supported by everyone’s taxes, be they Christian,Jewish, Hindu, etc. to be used in any way favoring any religion. We humanists are not against Christian prayer. Christians have lots of churches, private schools, properties, etc. pray away…but not in public funded schools.
somehistory says
Your response to his comment about atheists is telling.
You say you have no “special love for theocratic moslims.” What kind of love do you have for them?
And… you end your comment against Christians…just as he said atheists are.
Christians pray anywhere and at any time they please. You can’t stop Christians from praying because you aren’t even aware that they are praying unless they close their eyes and bow their head. I have prayed while driving down the road, head up and eyes open. I have prayed at work, head up and eyes open. My children prayed at school.
Christians don’t need a special room or to get down on the floor and make a big production out of a private conversation. You should appreciate that Christians aren’t demanding a special room at schools…as moslims are….or that they don’t take their kids out of class every day ( Christians pray every day…not just Friday or Sunday), and expect the teachers to give them passing grades anyway.
Dennis says
I have NO love for any type of theocracy. My comment is not anti-Christian. It is only stating that there should be no public facilities for any religion. Also no atheist facilities. It is amazing how folks can take any statement and turn it into something that it is not. I am totally for separation of church and state. N rivate people can pray all that they want, but tax supported institutions should not support any religioys function. For that we have churches, synagogues, mosques, mandirs, etc. comprende?!
somehistory says
You ask me if I comprehend? Re-read your own comment above.
You are the one who wrote *love* and moslim in the same sentence.
And since atheists have gotten their way and no one can even read a Bible…but they can read satan’s book… in schools…then there is discrimination against all non atheists and non moslims.
kufahamiana?
gravenimage says
Thank you, Dennis.
Pastor C says
Useful infidels. Therefore, no outrage. Cursory complaints. No action. Sharia wins again.
Anyone keeping score? We’re losing.
Pastor C says
Whenever useful infidels are involved, there’s no outrage. Whatever complaints are raised are merely perfunctory, leading nowhere. As a consequence, Sharia wins again.
Anyone keeping score? We’re losing.
Carolyne says
I believe it is unconstitutional, violating the “Establishment clause,” to provide prayer rooms for muslims in any public building, including schools. The Constitution says that there shall be no religion established by the government, but IMO this is establishing Islam as the state religion and violating the rights of non-muslim students–of any religion or none at all.
I assume the prayers are in Arabic, denigrating non-muslims and instructing muslims to behead the “Unbelievers.” Someone should give the principal a translation of these “Routine” Islamic prayers and let him know what is being prepared for him in these rooms. “When you meet the unbeliever, strike his neck.” How much more clear than that be?
I deliberately did not capitalize “muslim” because they do not deserve that respect.
Custos Custodum says
Correct – totalitarians and Muslims have been openly allied to subvert democracy in the West since the days of Hitler’s pact with the Grand Mufti as amply documented by Mr. Spencer.
Remember Hitler’s party called themselves the National SOCIALISTS.
Morton Bodanis says
As Shakespeare once said, “What fools these mortals be!” In this case, Westerners welcoming those (Muslims) whose goal it is to replace our beliefs with Sharia law and to replace our democracy with Islam, to convert us to Islam or, if not, to destroy us.
Lioness says
Toronto school board has approved muslim prayer spaces for all Toronto schools, and recently it was found that some were praying for the slaughter of Jews and that Allah should wipe the infidels off the face of the earth. At a school board meeting those that pointed it out, were called “islamophobes” by the board chair and were not allowed to speak. So, congratulations, Texas, you are heading the same way. God help us all.
no_one says
They are praying to the devil allah. He is not that powerful. A small Christian prayer is more powerful than their show.

Uh…..I don’t believe that has worked yet.

May God Help us, because Muslims now have Prayer rooms in Airports, Hospitals,even Catholic Hospitals & on some Military Posts& Bases! But the Dominance of Islamic Death Cult will NOT be satisfied until all GOV & CITIZENS SUBMIT TO OLD ALLAH, The Moon Spirit!
The Liberty HS in Texas is only one of the First, to install ISLAM as the STATE RELIGION OF THE USA.
The DEM GOV WILL LOOK THE OTHER WAY, as DEM GOV IS THE BIGGEST “CHEER LEADER” for the DEATH CULT OF ISLAM!
Brian Hoff says
You are so wrong the Texas state government is run by the GOP.
john spielman says
the schools are run by liberal ” useful idiots” (as Stalin would have said)! useful idiots for islam, Satan’s religion of death darkness and hell!
many people like you are fooled by the nefarious nature of islam which according to St PAUL an apostle, of Jesus the Christ, is a doctrine of Satan; and is cursed because muhammed listened to Satan masquerading as Gabriel, an angel of God, and was given a different ” gospel ‘ other than the one that Paul and the other apostles preached!
gravenimage says
“Brian Hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–would have us believe that the Republican gubanatorial administration is behind the Islamization of Texas schools–but this is not the case:
“Texas AG’s concerns over legality of Frisco high school’s prayer room called ‘publicity stunt’ by school district”
http://www.dallasnews.com/news/frisco/2017/03/17/texas-ags-office-raises-concerns-prayer-room-friscos-liberty-high-school
“The letter from Deputy Attorney General Andrew Leonie states that “it appears that students are being treated differently based on their religious beliefs,” which would violate the First Amendment.”
…
Despite the sneering tone of this article, it is clear that there are those in Greg Abbott’s administration who are concerned about this.
And for those who asked, there is a photo in the article that shows that girls are, indeed, forced to sit in the back.
Carolyne says
And Democrats are the biggest receivers of Saudi money, I believe.
And yes, the governor of Texas is a Republican. I doubt he was aware of this “Room” as it was being established. He knows about it now. Lets see what he does, if anything.
Irene Brekelmans says
It is amazing, like what lioness commented, so you give them rooms to pray and they pray for the destruction of mankind. You must be out of yr minds and American students, do they have a say in this,are the the new generation in the USA? God help us. I don’t get it any more. What is happening, there must be something else happening what we do not know about. I don’t know the Americans any more, neither the Europeans or Canadians. Something else is going on. Is something controlling their brains, crazy but slowly it begins to look like that. What do the leftists really want with all this, pls spell it out for us,other than just call us infidels names. Crazy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t think most Infidels have any idea of the violent and genocidal nature of Islamic prayer.
duh swami says
It should be illegal to worship Allah on tax payer supported schools or property,,,someone might be offended…
Seabird says
Or, the prayer room must be available to all “religions” including witchcraft and Satanists. It’s all (inclusive) or nothing just ask the ACLU.
What’s next, converting drinking fountains into foot baths?
This school needs to be sued and the Principal dismissed.
Westman says
If only the piano students in my school had scheduled their lessons on Friday during school hours! Imagine the fun had we insisted on a piano and special room for a group lesson; claiming that the timing of our lesson must coincide with an exact external event or our Music God would be offended.
The “Liberty” school provides a prayer room so muslim students won’t miss as much classroom time as when leaving for the masjid? Here’s a room, sluff school with our blessing!
We wouldn’t want any Islamic mental illness from required attendance because we’ve seen what happens with, “mental illness”.
It’s just amazing how, about 1400 years ago, Muhammad knew how to divide the world into 24 time zones and assign specific inviolable prayer times to each one. Poor Allah, having to listen to some bleating clerics for 24 hours on Friday.
Brian Hoff says
Robert the Texas AG will soon be arrest on fraud charge by than federal court. The moslim student than empty class room to do they prayer which is legal by the constitution. Other religious groups also use that room for prayer. It is the evangelizes christian who want they prayer in public school only they donot want any other religion to pray in school.
Westman says
Say Brian, are the Christians asking for time off from school? You do realize that American schools are for education, NOT religion, and some groups, like Mormons, are required to have their seminaries on their own private property?
Have you forgotten that schooling is a state function, separated from religion? It is legal to exclude all religions from public schools. That’s why there are private religion-based schools. Muslims can create and pay for one anytime they want instead of making demands. Like the leftists, they want OPM to pay for it.
john spielman says
rubbish, muslim students can have their prayers BEFORE and anytime AFTER SCHOOL, God does not demand specific times nor do they have to all bend down in unison- that’s just legalism that is from Satan Not God
john spielman says
also Jesus said when you pray you should do it in private, ie, it can be done quietly at your seat or work station so that NO one but God will notice; NOT like the pharisees and muslims who do it to be observed by others

The faud charge have nothing to do with Islam or prayer room at school.Some money where not return to the rightful owner.
utis says
If these people are so jacked-up about their religion, they should build their own schools with their own money. The Catholics did that when they first came here. I’m pretty sure the Jews paid for their kids’ shul. These day, educators are so greedy for state money, I don’t know what they do.
Separation of church and state protects both sides from the excesses of each other. That principal should read about the Thirty Years War or other bloody religious wars. American schools should be for learning the skills for this life.
Somebody needs to send a pack of street preachers and Hare Krishnas to hang outside the school, praying and testifying and quoting scriptures. Atheist or not, I know what fair is.
Westman says
Islam is totally bewildered by the concept, “Separation Of Church And State”. Yet that is exactly what enabled the West to develop, over the objections of religionists, while Islam was left behind. Even today, much of the wealth and technology in Islam is borrowed or bought with proceeds from a hole in the ground.
mortimer says
Islam has a doctrine of flexibility (darura) which permits deferring prayers until convenient. ALL MUSLIMS KNOW THIS. Muslim students DO NOT NEED ABSOLUTELY TO PRAY AT A SPECIFIC TIME. Muslim students who are serious about prayer can pray BEFORE SCHOOL or AFTER SCHOOL on Friday if they feel strongly. Otherwise, go to a Muslim country and don’t expect special treatment that others do not get.
Kay says
Interesting.
Westman says
But, how else can a Muslim student peacefully inform the other students of Islam’s supremacy to them?

Custos Custodum says
BTW Islam specifically allows Muslims to eat food that is kosher according to Jewish (!) rules.
Christian food is also expressly permitted although it is not wholly clear whether or not this presupposes that Christians follow Old Testament (i.e. Jewish) rules such as not eating pork or shellfish.
Troybeam says
Submission to Islam, prayer room, what about prayer room for Christians, Jews, Hindu etc.
This is Dhimmitude which equals Non-Muslims subjecting themselves to Islamic law by allowing prayer room for Muslims only.
The more you give away the freedoms we have and subject yourself to what Islam deems a Islamic right the harder you will fall and never get back what you so ignorantly gave way in appeasement.
AleX says
The school principal should be fired for having given unlawful preferential status to a minority at the expense of the main body of students. Praying at school is a privilege only for religious establishments. If mohomedans want to pray at school, they should attend an islamic institution.
Custos Custodum says
The principal should be fired for craven dhimmitude, i.e. selling out the public trust to Muslim and Cult-Marx totalitarians.

The leaders we have today are a product of the worthless and rebellious generation of the 1960’s. Now they won’t defend the culture and heritage that was handed down by their forefathers. What else can we expect but loose what was fought for in days gone by.
Pauline says
I think the point that is being missed here is that Friday is the most important day of the week for muslims. Its their holy day and the midday service is obligatory. It is only on Friday that these students are leaving school to attend. This is another example, not taken into account by the fools who encourage muslim immigration into western countries, of how Islam is incompatible with our way of life. Our working week is based on the Christian calendar with Sunday as the day of rest from work and worship of the Christian religion .It’s only fairly recently that Saturday became a full day holiday for working people too. Friday is a part of our working/school week but muslims want to devote it to masjid centred worship, hence a problem for all western businesses and schools trying to stop them leaving for the prayer service.
Phil says
It is totally outrageous how far Islam is allowed to get with their civilization jihad by our own filthy hands as was stated by the Brotherhood way back in 2003.
We have to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization and then outlaw CAIR, ISNA< MSA etc all organization that have ties to them.
Guest says
When a teacher quotes the bible for historical purposes they get sued. But it’s okay to have an Islamic prayer room? Nice to know how loved and accepted everyone is.
somehistory says
Teachers have been threatened with suit and firing for just having their own personal Bible on their desk. They have to keep it hidden or leave it at home.
moslims would never stand for that, or be subjected to that, for having their unholy filth on their desk and open to be read.
davej says
This is part of the Islamic plan to abolish the separation of Church and State, for the furtherance of their Theocracy. Public education is funded by the State and it’s sole purpose is education, therefore there should be no preference or special favors for ANY religion.
People are free to believe what they want and if they want to pray they need to do it on their own time and in their own facilities. That this principle even needs to be argued is disturbing, we must be firm on this because once the door is cracked open … Hell will follow.

“Their parents would come pick them up, so they may miss an hour and a half to two hours to two and a half hours of school every Friday,”
Don’t they have truancy laws in those parts? These students should be put in reform school if they are constantly skipping classes – and can’t their parents be fined for not getting them to class? What would happen to non-Muslims who decided to skip classes every Friday?

Good question, billybob.
Eric Jones says
Its very hypocritical for ACLU not to protest the muslim prayer room. Its wrong for the pricipal of Liberty HS to make prvision for one gruop that other groups do not enjoy. Maybe some Christian oriented law firm can address this issue(Jay Sekelow?).
Here in NYC many ethnic groups made provision for educatng their youth without ditusbing the lager educational system. Jewish education in Shuls. Chinese school on Sat, and in Queens there is Korean School on the weekends. In the 1950’s when I was in elementary school the Catholic kids left school for religious instruction one afternoon a week. No problems encountered. We may need to consider banning muslim immigartion to the USA.

St. Edwards university in Austin, Texas had a muslim prayer room located at Holy Cross Hall. This was in 2002 when I first noticed it. I spoke to a Professor about it but he declined to comment on it, and when I asked if he was afraid of losing his position if he disagreed with the prayer room, he just shook his head in the affirmative. St. Edwards University is a Catholic University and they allowed a muslim prayer room in a building called HOLY CROSS Hall. What irony and a slap in the face to all Christians enrolled there. I know this is fact because I graduated from St. Edwards. I do not know if this room still exists but it would not surprise me if they built a mosque on the university grounds.

Wherever they designate a prayer room or build a mosque, they “plant the flag” of occupation. Never to be relinquished. It’s their way of territorial combat. Mine, mine, mine…

“This does, however, reinforce the principle of Sharia that Muslims have rights and privileges to which non-Muslims are not entitled.”
Of course, commonplace in nations yielding themselves to being tailored for Islamic supremacy.

I thought the promotion of ANY religion was prohibited in public schools – where is the equity for others’?
I’ll ecstatic when the MB is listed as a terrorist organization and these “people” get what’s coming to them.
Les Bailey says
a prayer room?
for students to pray to a guy who is dead as dead gets
a guy who was a pedo, tyrant, murderer, atheist ( reasearch his unbelief ) & insane.
what is everyone so afraid of ?
as a christian for over 30 from Baptist teaching, this fear is simply unjustified.
God gives them the same choice as everyone else
Rev g says
Get a clue. They don’t pray to Muhammed, for starters.
Islamic Mirror says
There is no prayer rooms in muslim countries schools. muslim parents do not take out their children out of schools for any prayers. While in non-muslims countries, they are taking the advantage of the ignorance and tolerance of non-muslims.

What happens there at “prayer time”?

True. This is not about piety–this is about asserting Muslim supremacy.
Ted says
All we all have to do is look back at how in Germany a man with a little mustache and a book that he named Mein Kampf and everybody in Germany said what a fool this man is and his ideas are nonsense. The Germans sat around eating Snitzel and drinking beer and saying what was in the book could never be acceptable. By the time our fathers and grandfathers removed this scourge from Europe 50 million people were dead, along with 6 million Jews. We now have invited into our countries a people who have their own book and it sort of parallels what was in the other book. I am not an Islamic scholar but after reading the interpretations supplied by editors of J.W. I fully believe that Islam has one agenda and it is complete take-over of the western world. They called the other NAZISM and no-one ever said this was a phobia because the deaths of almost 60 million people were the result. We now have Islamizm that if we say anything about it we are criticized by our government who say we have a Phobia. When I see what is going on in England, France, Germany ,Holland and the Middle East I know I suffer from no Phobia. What our fathers and grandfathers did in Europe if we do not get this new scourge removed the war will be in our streets not in Europe. I have to be prepared now because Herr Trudeau might have his Gestapo already in place.
Hadenoughalready says
Well said, Ted. Well said!
Ted says
I have lots of relatives and friends who are all hunters and I tell them to look at what is on the J.W. site. If these violent Islamists think they are going to take over and our Government is to blame it can only be handled one other way. I have never been a racists, my present neighbour is from Trinidad, he has 2 kids who are both enrolled in the local college his wife is employed. I am lucky to have such nice people to live besides. This Islam problem, when they are welcomed into our country, declare on our citizenship form to follow the laws of our country and they renege and think Sharia must be allowed they are causing us Canadians to become a little concerned and if our government says we have a phobia about this they better start to realize that we don’t. I am sound in mind and can see what is happening in Europe and can definitely determine there is a danger and we don’t want it here. I now have an anger towards this government and it is no phobia and many more of my fellow Canadians are of the same opinion. Muhammad Trudeau is going to be replaced by a responsible Prime Minister, I just worry about how much damage he does before we vote him out.
Hadenoughalready says
First of all, islam, like any other religion is not a “race”; anyone can join. That said, islam is also an all-encompassing theocratic system of laws (shari’ah), government, banking, marriage, diet, prayer and a host of other facets. This is what most don’t understand which is why it’s so dangerous. Not understanding it will be our downfall.
As for Trudeau; good luck! Look what o’shitbag did just before he left. Evil has no bounds, my friend. It’s capable of anything and there is NO “low” for them.

SO Texas has submitted to Islam…….cowardice……….that explains the ‘yellow’ rose of Texas eh ??
Ebd says
The Muslims have been kept out of countries for centuries. They wanted all other peoples and races, kill every man for sure, and for old people , sick people, to be put to death, take young boys and castrate them and make them slaves, under great brutality and duress., They take little girls and women child bearing age and impregnate them for the Muslim cause, they were and are today, treated with gross indignity and brutality they are looked upon as animals.
The Truth is they hate all religions but their own. That is it! In a nut shell. They want to kill each and every Christian, especially Catholics, true Catholics even more so and destroy life and culture as we know it. The Jews are behind all of this to collaborate with them for lots and lots of money; they have forgotten WWII? but some say they were behind WWII and helped Hitler to go after their own Jewish people to attain their goal. Heartless! Today they make it difficult for all Christians. Just look at the news!. If a Catholic wants to build a church in a neighborhood it is forbidden. Stopped at town hall where they decide who can and can not. This group is comprised of fallen away Catholics, Homosexuals etc. and Mainly Jews.
If your faith is against the current morays of the day. You cannot do it.
Keep the Muslims out of the united States of America once and for all! Keep all religious prayer out of Public Schools. Let Religions have their own Schools and Churches. Only Christian Religions should be permitted to have their own schools because Jesus Christ is the only ONE, True GOD! The Catholic Crusades were great and stopped the Muslim invasions many, many times, now because all have lost the faith and given up on God our Father in Heaven, you have your enemy let loose once more. If you do not wake up and soon, the worst is yet to come.!!!!
m meyers says
The ultimate test will be when Christians want to convert the prayer room for a chapel at other times of the day when Muslims aren’t using it. You know that will happen. Can;t wait to see how that turns out.
Hadenoughalready says
That will never happen. So long as one muzzie is left, they will fight to the bitter end to keep their gains. They relinquish nothing save for total annihilation. See “The Gates of Vienna”.

I have posted this before. Our Prime Minister, the one that Donald Trump tolerated long enough when he visited the U.S.A. about 3 weeks ago to sit with him and favorably say Trudeau was going to a great job at promoting womans ventures in businesses. What an honour for Trudeau and our country for this idiot Prime Minister to have the President of the U.S.A. lay this heavy mantle on his shoulders. Did Trumps daughter know the woman in Canada who is responsible for womans issues is from Iran and lied about it on T.V. when she was from Afghanistan. Does Avanka know that she favours Sharia law? This Prime Minister of Canada is pictured, dressed in white robes in the front row of a local Mosque sitting with his Muslim friends. Does Avanka know the Premier of this province a woman and a lesbian to boot, goes to the Mosque (why I don’t know) and must sit in the back in a corner with a rag on her head. Is this not absurd? W.T.F.

Texas high school opens Muslim prayer room
……………………
They are now claiming that the room is available for all students to pray in–but the article itself makes clear that it was set up for Muslims.
Moreover, I’m sure Muslims would make it *very* uncomfortable for any Christians or Jews who tried to use the room for other than Muslim prayers.
Rick says
Deep in the heart of Tex-Islamabad!!!!
Jeanette says
This school will be in an area that has been flooded with liberals from other states; often it is California, where the real estate is so much higher that a California house can be sold, and a Texas house can be bought, with lots of money left over.
Most native Texans are too smart for this suicidal nonsense.

All true, RCH. The most dangerous time for Infidels in Dar-al-Islam is after Jummah prayers on Fridays. Infidels–including Hindus–have been attacked and beaten to death by Muslims after Friday prayers.
gravenimage says
All true–and few Infidels are at all aware of the vicious nature of Muslim prayer.
Connie says
Really?? We take out Christian prayer in our schools only to replace with a muslim prayer room! If this is the case, we need to be all inclusive and I’m sure that will not likely happen. Maybe muslims should start their own school if certain prayer times are so important!
Hadenoughalready says
They already have their own schools. They’re called “madrassas”. But that’s not their intended goal. Their goal is to claim territory that’s ours, projecting their influence in places they can claim as their own, “planting their flag”, so to speak.
It has nothing to do with “prayer”, rather, territory. Once claimed, it’s theirs and we have little chance of reclaiming it short of obliterating them to the last corpse.
Just think of the old game of “king of the hill” and you’ll understand. Unfortunately, they mean it to the bloody end.
RK says
NO FREAKIN WAY SHOULD THIS BE ALLOWED- SCHOOL IS A TIME FOR LEARNING- PRAY AT HOME…. IF U WANT RELIGION THEN ALL RELIGIONS SHOULD BE ALLOWED…. AND/OR GO TO CHURCH- THIS “IS” A SCHOOL, PERIOD!

First the influence to remove prayer from public schools…..then prayer rooms for another faith…seems like a plan to cause submission. Prayer rugs….and special food.
Well then there should be a Christian room, to say the Lords’ prayer…with cookies and milk…and the Ten Commandments on the wall to welcome all and a security guard.

Irene Brekelmans says
I don’t understand how muslems can skip school on Friday and any time they want. In my young times,
we had one day a week at lunchtime half an hour of lessons about the bible, you were free to attend it or not,. A few Jewish girls did not attend it (the few that were left from the holocaust) and that was it, you could not even go on holidays outside the school holidays. You just had to attend school in the fullest.
But the whole thing with muslems started already decades ago. When people were helping them to find a job and they had a job, they showed up at 10.30 am in the morning, when they were suppose to show up at 8.30 am. So then they got a few warnings and if they did not change their mind about working hours, they were fired.
But then they started already their(victim acts), that they were discriminated against and the normal bla bla.. It was problem then already, I must say, they got better, because they lost in the end, but slowly by slowly they went back in the victim role and still are.
But it is amazing that everyone from the leftists/liberals are catering to them. That is how we will go down. It is ridiculous to have special praying rooms for muslems and that they can skip school whenever they want, if you want that, go back to your own country. If they accept it there, go!!!
Who gives you the right? It is a problem in many European countries too, they want so many masks for every muslem. The small town I come from has already 4 or 5 mosques in no time, they even bought Christian churches and converted them into mosques.
Bu the biggest trouble is that they do everything to get into the governments, they have everywhere political parties and want to run everything. They even wanted to changes the street names as they were not accord with street names that were applicable to streetnames of old (so called) heroic people from the past..
But in the end who they pray for, will not happen, because when you pray for the really bad things, there is not a listening ear for that. You can only pray for 2 things, the good or the bad, the bd holds no ears for that and the love, that would be better for them. I think we just have to sit this one out, but I am certain and totally convinced that they will not win and they will be put in their place.
And then for the leftists/liberals: somebody drew attention to a small video about the chechen muslims
behaviour of slaying and beheading russian soldiers in ” the dage tan massacre”.
I I can recommend it to you, leftists, then you can see exactly how they act out these atrocious slayings,
I was horrified and had a very bad night with no sleep afterwards and I m still totally horrified about it.
I can not believe that the human race has sunken so low and I can say that I am not at all pleased to belong to the human race. It must be the most violent race in our whole Universe. It had all videos too ,which have never been exposed to the public about what the Germans did in the concentration camps
We learned it at school in our (truthfully) history books, but what it really all was and obviously still is, you have no idea, I was really shocked. To read it and so called know about it, is not, by any means the reality when you see it. And it all is till happening all over the world, and I am totally convinced that muslems and Westerners can not live together( and there are good muslems, I still hope), who can not speak out, because they are scared out of their wits. They don’t have freedom, but we can not have a clerical pest to drive us out of our countries and make the laws for us. There will be no way that that will happen, and don’t make the drama’s to go and pray in the streets to show us how holy you are, our God knows, believe you me, and it is not only our God, it is yours too, although you don’t want to believe it. Every thought is even known, and why is that? Because everyone, every animal, every plant has the living God part within us, that is why everything is known to God, you can ly or try to deceive, but what and whom you really are is known, and you can never escape it, never and when you dy, you don’t get 75 virgins, no, you get asked why you committed your atrocities and you will be hold responsible, nobody punishes you, but in your next life you will be on the other side and you will really be the victims and you get more or less the same of what you did to others in this life. And so it goes around and around. But leftists, look at the videos and I hope you can stand it and at least der to speak out in unification that you will not stand for this all.
