Rant 2
People in my form also think that it is IMPOSSIBLE to be British and a Muslim.
Firstly, i cant blame them for their opinions. Secondly, i can blame their parents opinions.
Why should Mus;lims be alienated as such? i think the answer is jealousness.
The Immigrants (which some are muslims) are able to be fiancially secure within two years.
Full Version: Religion
I think that was quite an astounding discussion that developed in your class. Astounding because there are so many people living in Britain that are Muslim. Did the teacher try and add any sort of balance to that discussion?

I've heard it said that Muslims consider themselves Muslims first, then occupants of any nation. Their allegiance is to their faith, not the country they happen to be in. Some say this is the reason for so much friction in the UK. The Muslims attitude puts it slap in the way of Patriotism.
I'm sure the moderate Muslims will call me a liar, but they aren't the ones causing problems.
As regards R.E. in state schools?....this is supposed to be a secular society, there's supposed to be a good argument that religion of any kind does not belong in state schools. But since most say a prayer and a hymn at morning assembly (or did)...I'll not try to argue the hypocrisy.
im ranting about the knowledge of religion. not the teaching.

You have some damn good sources as regards religion on bukf educating you (not me).
Give it time and you'll be able to teach the teacher
I do anyway.
Its weird, i know about religions that we arent taught about (Shinto, Ba'hai and Babullah, i think they are the right spellings). I get annoyed when people complain about other religions when most or all of them dont even have a religon. Im like WTFYFW.
On a lighter note, we are hopefully doing about muslim food (halal meat and that). so im gonna Research it

I'm off for a curry myself tomorrow
I know quite a bit about Vodou, which btw is the national religion of Haiti.
I have a good friend who is Haitian and she's a Vodouisant.
Vodou and its Cuban variant Santeria have big followings in NYC.
There are many stores called Botanicas that sell Santeria and Vodou religious "items."

Vodou is pretty good.
packet of ciggys 'n a whisky and Stride Wide Man answers all prayers.
It is an economical religion.
Vodou, for some reason, has always scared the crap outta me. I avoid it like anything.

The one I have is not a blow-up doll; it's a real Vodou doll.
That's going to earn you another 'not saved' from Bob you know 
The Debater Doll....such a let down. 
What - no Mama Wata?
Ok, so maybe I have been checking out Vodun - the original form from Africa. I think the form that makes me uncomfortable is the New Orleans Voodoo.

Speaking of schools and religion....
Not praying to Allah?...that's a detention.
I wish I'd had the balls to tell my R.E. teacher to shove it.

You know he could say that he was god, and your just a worshiper and how he would smite you downnnnnn!
