Not really, I think Muslims are new to secular schools. Its universally agreed that in secular schools, religion isn't allowed. But they allow students to take holidays like Christmas or Ramadan because those are legal holidays.

What’s the difference?

@@FytFyt-rs9tr "Religion isn't allowed" is so stupid. So if a Christian kid says grace at lunch time we kick him out? Theres a difference between religion in the curriculum and individual *humans* doing things with their own mouths and bodies without disturbing anyone else.

Born and brought up in the UK. I've never had this problem of taking out time to pray at school. What I do during my lunch time was no one's business. Students smoke do drugs bully and misbehave inside the school premise yet the teachers won't interfere as its their break time. Why this hypocrisy.

Which country is this? First time hearing something like that

Definitely the USA

Good for him. Why shouldn't he celebrate his Holy Days?

thats hardly comparable to the prayers which take 10 minutes each maximum and are a fundamental part of the religion. I don't think Jews are threatened with punishment for not taking off work on each holiday

Wait, they didnt have a personal shabbos goy to fill in for them? Rofl🤣

surah 33:40 is a lie about muhammad being a seal of the prophets because nobody can find a prophecy in The Bible with the words of "I will raise up a seal of the prophets" so you are praying to a non existent god.

​@@neilsavage8915dunno mate the bible has been edited a plethora of times so you can't exactly rely on it to make sense of anything. The Qur'an has never been edited. Can I ask if you've read an English copy from start to finish?

@@ahmet6144Islam and the Koran is total and utter BS.

Well said

Secular is agenda which was created against religion. I think you need to read history first

Then what does so called discrimination Islamophobic and right to practice religion mean

@@lutonzmn Discrimination: "the practice of treating somebody or a particular group in society less fairly than others" Islamophobic: "having or showing a dislike(or fear) of Islam or Muslims, or treating them unfairly" right to practice religion: "Article 9 protects your right to hold both religious and non-religious beliefs. This is an absolute right which means it can’t be interfered with by the state. Article 9 includes the right to choose or change your religion or beliefs. It also means you can't be forced to have a particular religion. It also protects your right to manifest your beliefs - for example, your right to wear religious clothing, the right to talk about your beliefs or take part in religious worship. The right to manifest your beliefs is qualified. This means it can be interfered with in certain situations - for example, to protect the rights of others." - so if praying somehow would go against the rights of others, which it does not, then and only then could it be interfered with. However this is clearly an attack against Muslims.

Try and impose any sort of secular or other religious practice in any Muslim school or country and see how it goes. I can tell you for a fact it will not be tolerated. So don't attempt to frame this as a moral argument as there is absolutely no grounds to base that on in Islam, they are open about their intolerance. These are just the facts. Also don't attempt to conflate the death of innocent kids with this, it is completely unrelated.

@@corsinivideosMay be you should travel a bit more. I went to school in a Muslim country. Muslim and Christian students sat on the same table and we had a multi faith prayer room! my kids went to school in Dubai where teachers in mini skirts taught hijabi girls, where everyone celebrated Christmas and Eid with pupils. Some non Muslims teachers fasted Ramadan with pupils and Muslim kids sang carols in December. This world needs more tolerance!!!

@@20718Zh nice cherry picked examples. In Saudi Arabia it is literally illegal to convert from being Muslim to Christianity. There are plenty of places all over the Arab world where secularism and other faiths are not allowed to be practiced in schools. So 1 example of a secular school in the UK should not be berated and told it can't practice a secular environment. That is all I'm saying. Places without religion is not an attack on religion, just like places with only Muslims is not an attack on secularism or other religions.

@@manazon6945 Well instead of banning prayer altogether, they could have directed her to pray during the lunch break. I had heard that kids were praying individually in the playground, and were stopped from doing so for their safety. When they asked for a room to pray, their request was denied.

@@manazon6945 Another thing to note is that praying takes less than 5 mins. About the same time it would take if a student asked to use the washroom during class. But I can understand a teacher not wanting a student to leave during class.

They have Christian culture since ages. Who are you to question and look for previledges?. What if Christians or people from other religious groups organise prayer in an open space in school, how would you feel about it- you would whine then saying it's against your faith and must be banned

It’s been celebrated in this country for nearly 1000yrs. Christian or not, it is the historical culture of this country. Like it or not 🤷‍♂️

Because we've been having nativity plays at Christmas for centuries not a problem until you clowns arrived now it's a problem see what I mean

@@Noplace4haters Because the point was they don't want ANY religion in a secular school. That includes Christmas and Easter. No one is against Christians or any other religions praying. You people just do don't do it. Hell make an attached church to every school and no Muslim would give a shit. How is it against my faith that you pray? I rather have you pray then be a degenerate atheist on tiktok following these useless rappers/artists. No way you are this thick.

​@@Noplace4hatersbecause being hypocrites are the norm in the west. People are sheep they follow things what they don't understand.

They should pray regardless, search for a corner in the right direction and go. You don't have to pray in a prayer room. On the other hand it would be great for female muslims to be able to pray privately and not being stared at, while being in such submissive positions! You could bring a cover and hold it to give the females privacy.

Islam is a religion,it's not about race it is for the whole of mankind ,these people thinks all Muslims should belong to the Arabs .

This isn't Joe Rogan take your nonsense gender intolerance elsewhere

That would be wrong two and should also be banned

I Agree. Its lunchtime, you can pray anywhere, except the toilet, just pray on a mat it only takes 10 minutes of your OWN time. Not school time. Whats the problem. This is a nightmare school what next, you cant wear a turban or a bangle to school, you cant talk!

I agree, they cannot enforce the ban. Pray anywhere really, except the toilet!

My understanding was that they didn't even allow the students to pray in the park during their free time.

Yes they stopped them from praying in the yard on their coats and when the child then said can you provide a prayer space then? The school says no.

​@@M1X491thats precisely what the children were doing and the school said its unsafe for them to pray in the yard so the students asked for a space to pray and the school said no. So basically they're clearly making it impossible for them to pray

Students bully eachothers anyway you don't need to ban EVERYONE from prayer to prevent bullying you only need to have a system that holds these students accountable for bullying whatever the reason be religion , looks whatever you name it It's just a lame excuse to use to cover her racism and islamophobia

@@MarwanAbdullmaged During the past weeks, there were several « religious » incidents between kids in France. A Muslim girl got beaten up by Muslim boys and girls because she was behaving and dressing immodestly. A Muslim kid got stabbed because he was too integrated according to other Muslim kids. And a few others. All that during Ramadan, which makes me question the religious intentions of the protagonists. I don’t know if you realise it or not, but teachers are simply not paid enough to deal with this BS. I don’t see how the fact that kids purposely break school rules and that their parents encourage them is respectful or tolerant towards the Western values. If religious practices are forbidden for EVERYONE within a school, how is it excluding anyone? Personally, I’m not a racist. I hate everyone equally regardless of people’s origin, sexual orientation, skin colour or religion. But even I’m starting to get fed up that people try to drag us back into religious dictatorships, while it took us centuries to reach a secular societal structure.

@@Danny-yx8ut OK, first of all thank you for your time to reply and explain ur opinion honestly I appreciate it. Of course we could agree that kids are immature and behave irregularly so they shouldn't at all be set as an example of anything. The incidents you describe puzzles me as a Muslim adult man exactly as it puzzles you where THE F are those kids parents? When was a kid If I saw another Muslim committing sinful acts or a Muslim girl dressing immodestly in my schoold I would advice them if they listen gr8 if they didn't well its their choice. Now, about banning religious acts for EVERYONE. we both know that there is bias against Muslims in western countries so the ban wouldn't be so strict or even existent for some students of other religion. Furthermore as the man said wouldn't they still be celebrating Easter? /Christmas? Isn't that religious?. Another point u probably don't get is that a prayer for a Muslim is truly his identity you can't take that away from me u just....can't so banning it is a big deal. And if you ban all religious acts your simply exclusive to everyone but atheists and the nonconservative people of whatever religion. And if teachers aren't paid enough for this BS then it's a flaw in the system not the prayer

@@MarwanAbdullmaged There are different currents of Islam. While some Muslims fights for a more progressive Islam (especially in countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia), some Muslims fight for a more fundamentalist interpretation of Islam. Most of my Muslim friends (from countries like Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, Albania, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE) almost never pray. Does it mean they are less Muslim because daily prayers are not part of their personal identity? I personally don’t think so. There is of course Islamophobia in Western countries. Racism is present everywhere. However it is also extremely difficult to accommodate everyone in a heterogenous society and make everyone happy. As I said in my previous comment, integrated Muslim pupils were bullied by more religious Muslim pupils. No one is happy in that situation, because there’s no right solution. School personnel must protect the individual freedoms of everyone without being labelled as intolerant racists. However, when you send your kids to a secular school, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you are not religious. It simply means that you leave your religion at the doorstep while you are at school. If religion takes a big part of your life and you need to pray several times a day, dress in a specific way, then a secular school is clearly not for you and you should look up for religious schools. And it’s perfectly fine, no need to make a big deal out of it. A secular school should apply its internal rules and protect the pupils who comply. As for the Christian holidays such as Passover and Christmas, they have been stripped of all their religious sense already to accommodate everyone, so it’s a very bad example.

@Danny-yx8ut a Muslim who doesn't pray isn't really Muslim at all I would love to explain why I disagree with (some) of ur statements but I really don't have energy 😅 so yeah have a nice day

Other faiths require a long prayer, however, Muslims are required to pray 5 times per day. These prayers are 5- 10 mins long. People following other faiths are not affected by this rule, but the Muslims are.

@@HAZ-dy2nn Your statment supports my comment. Christians pray in a church or can say their graces quietly. The same applies to Jewish people and others. Hindus pray during Diwali. They don't have to pray every day at certain times like the Muslims. The religious people you have described don't have to pray every day at specific times. They don't have to pray in a certain direction and follow some steps. I have not seen any person of faith from an y religion who is required to pray the same way that Muslims do. Even you admit that in your comment.

Why do you say it is true ? On what basis? I say you’re Brain washed.

Honestly no one gives a crap about your religion , it’s supposed to be a person thing but there are some idiots who simply use it for wicked purpose . If you can’t follow the secular school rules then go study somewhere else .

@nil6226 true on the basis of logic. Other religious texts are self contradicting. The only book that itself claims to be free of contradictions is the Quran. Now you can call someone names or address the matter at hand, but coming from someone that has looked into the contradictions (to the extent where having one or two major ones is a big big deal for anyone looking to establish objective truth), I’d only encourage you to do the same, for your own sake. We don’t know each other, and you owe me nothing. But I’d like to remind that everyone owes themselves the truth, and that is why I invite you to read the Quran. I cannot compel you to believe in it, but I will say that shall you be sincere in discovering the truth of this life, you will do what’s required (and yes, that would mean studying all books if that’s what it takes). May the one true God be your guidance.

Islam is not true. They don't feel threatened. The girl wanted permission to pray I the middle of teaching hours. It's like "where are you going Abu, I still teaching" and when she lost the case, she modified her statement. The case is fully on display on the school website.

Exactly! Can't wait to see what happens when she denies an LGBTQ+ pupil their freedom of choosing their gender/ sex and so on.

Wrong, secularism bans religion, read a dictionary!

Have you heard what the headteacher and her staff have had to endure? The welfare of the school as a whole takes priority. Something beyond 5 mins praying was a play here and it was undermining the functioning of the school.

Incorrect, secularism allows the private practice of faith and in some circumstances the public. It does not compel all schools to adhere to every religious practice

Islam is not only a religion - it is also a political system.

The student had bullied another (Muslim) student for not praying. Was imposing criticism and a different way of practising their religion towards the girl she was reprimanding/bullying. That was removing the freedom of self determination, her beliefs/religion and way to practice/live by them, peace, contentment from the other girl. 'requested' and 'modest' was not true to her previous behaviour. Also the judges evaluation and evidence represented that students, parents that wished to enrol, attend the school were told before applying that there wasn't a prayer room, that it's a secular school, that it was a stricter 'behaviour' school where 'team' focus was there ethos. So parents, child knew what the situation was, however yes, later a ban on praying, however it was still inline with their understanding, how the head, staff promoted the school.

Just another attempt to change our laws and way of life , chipping away slowly slowly

@@leafy803 To be fair, we don't need a prayer room. We can pray anywhere as long as it's clean! Muslims should not bully other Muslims into doing anything, however they are obligated to friendly remind them of their duties and to live by example. And especially when you see the other person being drawn to Haram things, that might destroy their life, we have to remind them to come back. However you are right, bullying is definetley not allowed as Islam promotes free will. It is important that everybody makes their own decisions and if someone is willingly sinning, it is between them and Allah. All of this, however does not give the government or the school the right to ban self expression. And Praying is a form of self expression. You cannot ban, a physical activity that is an integral part of islamic culture and that does not hurt or disrupt anyone!

@@leafy803 Sorry your comment is not visible, I can only see the preview. Now from what I think you were going with, yes obviously school must prepare you for the life after school, and it will make you ready for the workplace or to higher education or creating your business. However it should not change your fundemental believes, if you don't want them to be changed. Religious freedom is a must in a secular environment. And religious people would not abandon their faith, just because the law says it. The only way religious freedom can't be granted if it somehow hurts another person, which to my recent history no religion does.

@@josefabuaisheh6262 My comment.. My experience of secondary school (90s) was that its to prepare you for the work place and adulthood. Discipline, representing the schools behavioural, work values, a mature approach to your behaviour, studying and dress code. (I agree with religious headwear, clothing) My reason for explaining is, that is often professionalism, neutrality of your self expression in the physical and behavioural, even potentially beliefs. That at school or work, the ethos, focus is as a team not the individual. Team ethos was what this headteacher spoke of. The judge evaluated that 'Islam permits the Claimant to make up for missing Duhr by performing Qada prayers later in the day. ' I think reminding the girl to pray, from my perspective is potentially removing the girls freedom of choice, expression, by adding pressure or potentially shaming or fear of criticism or fear of exclusion from friends/family/community into conforming, not to decide what's right for herself, her beliefs. Every family, person is different from every religion / secular, but theirs potential for some children to be more vulnerable or submissive to pressure. Which reminding could be. Time spent in a neutral environment may give the child breathing space to determine their beliefs. Especially if in Secondary school and has a more developed understanding of their faith so they can then evaluate their decisions. Here it was bullying, to me that's then potentially harmful to her self determination, confidence, depends on the child, family and open non judgemental, non consequential discussion within the family.

Not in that school.

No, they would take you away to a certain institution, because you are considered deranged.

Why not?.At least it's keeping you out of mischief. Next we'll have drug pushers wanting to take drugs without hindrance.

Then the schools shouldn't be giving easter and Christmas holidays too if they are banning a specific group of ppl from practicing there religion in free time I might add( and it literally takes five mins for Muslims to pray)then ban christians and Jews rights to celebrate there religion too it's pretty clear Muslims aren't given there rights as compared to Jews and christians this is just hypocrisy either you ban all religious things or you ban none if you ban one that just shows the racism and double standards

100%

Prayer helps to nurture you to avoid evil.You become at peace .you introspect.Those who are against it show their state of mind.Why are they so scared of prayer.Moreover their not asking during classes but during lunch breaks

@@ibrahimwaka3916 They are frightened of prayer because schools are principally used for indoctrination, thinly veiled as education. When we pray we are reminded of God and are aligning ourselves with Him. Schools, especially Government schools, want children to only have love and loyalty to the State, not to their parents, not to their ancestors and most definitely NOT to God.

Prove it

Kids are kids they should be playing in playground with other kids getting to know different cultures, learning social skills. When one group goes off to pray and the rest don't that's what divides kids. A them and us. I grew up here and I can tell you I'm glad my parents were secular.

​@@naturealbumslol i work at school and that's definitely not how they are. Infact kids are alot more accepting and respectful as they are not prejudiced in their thinking like you.

@@naturealbums So what you are saying is that they only get to know them if they abandon their faith and culture? Praying is an integral part of muslim culture. If you deprive Non-Muslims of seeing it, you deprive them from getting to know a different culture. And you discriminate against a religious group, that is obliged by God to pray 5 times a day. Ban or not, they should continue to pray.

1. What if parents chose the school bc they don't care but student became religious and wavy to pray? Has nothing to do with the parents. 2. All countries have immigration laws. You can't just move wherever you want and not everyone can transfer their job to those countries.

@@yasminea7149 Well, if the child became religious after the fact, they should be smart enough to understand the school has rules, that apply to everyone, no exceptions. Do not automatically expect to get concessions or special privileges because of a supposed social status. There are many instances of parents, every year obtaining a property in different district to gain access to preferred schools for their child. A parent will move mountains to give their child the best possible opportunities for them to succeed. A motivated parent will do whatever it takes to accomplish their task. A country, a job, a visa, will be no obstacle. If they will not or cannot, well too bad.

​@@yasminea7149i don't know sister, it is more important to practice the deen than to stay in a place where we are not allowed to practice the deen. Prayer is obligatory, Hijab is obligatory. If we live in a place that doesn't allow that, then we have to perform hijrah (if we have the ability). Maybe if you can still practice your deen, it is still permissible to live there, but if not, why whould you still stay there? Rasulullah literally said: "I am not responsible for any Muslim who stays among musyrik/non muslim" Allah also said in Al Ankabut:56 "O My believing servants! My earth is truly spacious, so worship Me ˹alone˺". This ayah was for people in Mecca who didn't want to perform hijrah to Medina. Allah literally mentions "my earth is truly spacious", so don't worry about job or rizq, you can find rizq in other places too. Living in moslem countries would be very beneficial for muslim, you can find the community that can help to strengthen our eeman, we can find many islamic classes taught in every masjid, halal food everywhere, holidays for muslim day like Eid, etc.

Some pray in their head, others pray for 5 mins on a mat. Why should we make a big deal about either of them?

@@ozlemsuleyman9760I know. I need to cover the mat prayers' work when they take their prayer breaks.

@@JosephB-tv7gf I am so sorry that you need to do additional work for the 5-10 mins that the person prays. I bet no one takes a coffee or a smoke break in your office. You don't need to cover for any one except those who pray.

@@ozlemsuleyman9760Thanks. It is llloonnggggerr than that; 30 min average. The person who prays goes to the special prayer room. Twice per shift. (namely; we do his work and ours for one hour). Coffee breaks are twice per 12hr shift, as regulated by UK law, during which time smokers can smoke, and our work is covered by the cover guard.

You really didn’t follow the video. It’s not a Christian school

The whole point is that it is a secular school. It's not a christian one. Ur point is redundant.

Freedom to you means a free for all?

Sharia is far from freedom.

So being Christian is part of the British Culture? 😂

@@Uzzi9m absolute idiot. forgetting they were pagans

@@Uzzi9m Are you trying to be funny or just ignorant? No, re read my post, being Christian isn't part of British culture. It's the other way around, 'Christianity' is a formative part of British culture, in so far as, British culture (rights, responsibilities, attributes, attitiudes, etc.) is based on and because of, christianities heavy historical influence.

@@Uzzi9m So, essentially and thankfully no, being Christian isn't. Buuuuuuuut, there are some similarities to Christian values, that through historical association, have become part of the British culture. They are shared by many Brits, as a part of their unique and distinct way of life. To confuse a national identity with and label it as, 'religious ideology', is narrow minded, ignorant and in this case, for some, insulting.

@@gregsmith7821 culture evolves. And it is extremely subjective. Every region within even a small country such as this has its own peculiarities. The holidays he referred to started as Christian holidays. Why not give a chance for other religions to also thrive in this country? And they would also become part of this country’s culture. And please don’t ask why Muslim countries don’t let other religions. I’ll preempt - because they believe Islam is the truth. The U.K. doesn’t believe or propagate Christianity as the truth. None of the common people in this country is religious anymore. But common Muslims overwhelmingly are still religious.

You’ve got it completely wrong there. I as a practicing Muslim and have been taught in my religion that all religions have the right to practice their religion and as Muslims we have to respect that. This is the teaching of Islam so please don’t use your guess works here. One may make mistakes due to their ignorance but that does not mean that the entire religion or their people are at fault.

The problems arise when your values only apply to one part of society while rejecting all others. This is called hipocrisy and should be highlighted in all cases, including this one.

Well i kinda agree. I am moslem myself and i live in moslem majority country. I can't understand why some moslems choose to move to the western countries when they are clearly not a moslem friendly country. I can understand if you move there only for school/training and then after that going back to your moslem country, but mostly what they do they stay permanently even try to get the citizenship. I mean some countries literally ban moslem to practice their religion, they don't allow hijab or prayer, even they don't allow jum'ah prayer. Finding halal food is also not easy. How can you choose to live in a place like that? While in the moslem country, you are free to practice your deen, you can find halal food everywhere, you can find mosques & prayer room everywhere (in my country, every gas station even has prayer room, almost all restaurants also provide prayer room, almost all building provide prayer room, etc), on Friday we have a long lunch break from 11:30 to 1:30 this is to accomodate wo want to perform jum'ah prayer, we also have national holidays for every moslem's day even on Eid we have 2 weeks holiday, etc. So i am glad i was born here and stay here. If a moslem really care about their religion, he should find a place that makes him closer to God and a place that allows him to practice the deen

Perfect example of preconceived assumptions that blind you from being rational. Your above statement assumes that these kids are immigrants, I would argue the majority were born in the UK just like yourself. So why do you think your values and traditions are the golden standard? This is the bi-product of colonialism, so if you want someone to blame, blame your ancestors.

lol, join the club....

So it is okay because people don't normally pray at this school? It's like asking a Sikh to remove their turban, it's very inappropriate. That turban is part of their identity, or perhaps part of their body even. It's appalling how can people not see this "extreme secularism" as a problematic views.

muslims have to pray at certain times, it is fundamental to their faith. to deny them this is to deny them their faith, which breaks your rights under article 9.

@@omariobroso does Jews and orthodox Christians . They also have to pray at specific times. Muslims think that only they have specific times to pray. So should the school make rooms for all of these religions. What about Buddhists, Hindus, Baha’i faith, the Parsis, Jains , Sikhs?

@@omariobro Fixed prayer times, praying at dedicated times during the day, are common practice in major world religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

@@omariobro Jewish law requires Jews to pray thrice a day; the morning prayer is known as Shacharit, the afternoon prayer is known as Mincha, and the evening prayer is known as Maariv.[1]

That is against Islam.

Spoken like a true secular or atheist who thinks one can pick and choose which part of religion and God's commitments to follow.

obviously. If you go to muslim lands, they expect us to "respect" their beliefs.... when muslims come to our lands, they still expect us to "respect" their beliefs. There is no compromise - only conquest.

And the stupid don't understand why......

I an sure that is coming. We used to have Christian assemblies in all schools in Britain, although no one was forced to attend. ,

Why would they listen to you? Their grades are top so they don't need your advice with respect.

They nee3d our money though to pay their legal bills.

You are confused between culture and religion.

You mean the "semi-secular when it suits her" dictator of a headmistress?

The point is, it's not secular. Can't people understand that? Holidays such as Christmas and Easter are religious holidays and schools let children have time off. Were they truly secular, they wouldn't have these. Yet more hipocrisy and double standards by people who can't accept the face of society changing and want to maintain the status quo which is outdated, biased and only breeds exclusion rather than inclusion which is what 'secularism' is supposed to do by treating people of ALL faiths equally, which is NOT the case and never has been. At least since I was at school many decades ago.

"The girls that decided to pray in the school playground area also weren't happy when other girls who weren't Muslim wanted to use that area as it was originally intended and tried to prevent them from being there. Slippery slope. "----- If this is true, you made a good point. The school could have addressed this problem differently though.

Yes but as a teacher, it is my job to make all students under my care feel safe and included and I would happily try my best to do it.

@358saf88 Who says it's your job to make kids feel safe? That's ridiculous. It's your job to teach them the basics.

@seanhammer6296 literally the government? I've lost count of how many training courses I have received on the 'safeguarding' of students under our care. Both physical safeguarding and mental. If Ofsted came to our school and believed our students didn't feel safe while here, we would fail the inspection, regardless of how great our teaching is. Regardless, knowing students spend most of their weekday awake hours with us, it's nice to ensure they are happy to be there.

@358saf88 Ya, I get that, but my question was more of an indictment of the bureaucracy than anything. The world is being run by a bunch of Communist Karens like all the KZfaq/social media censors and it's beyond ridiculous at this point. I saw a video of a teacher, in America, just stand there and let one student completely pummel another student. Something about she wasn't "allowed" to touch the student. Just the idiot Karen bureaucracy run amok.

He is a taxpayer. We as subject in this country have a right to practise our faith. The law gives him the right

​@@GW-jw9vs the only mistake was you getting rid of people who now are terrorizing Palestinians pretending to be the 'chosrn uber-men-sch'

The lion will roar soon , and some will cry

@@GW-jw9vs Are you actually scared of "replacement"? Be honest! Let me assure you, the obligation of every Muslim is to spread the message. Spreading the message not forcing anyone to become Muslim. God has many names. For example Al-Rahman and Al-Rahim. Both are often translated as "most merciful, the eternally merciful". However Al-Rahman is the unconditional mercy of Allah to all it's creations, regardless of their faith and their actions. It is the concept of complete free will. You can choose to believe and do whatever you deem right! It is also this mercy that allows people to commit the most atrocious crimes. Al-Rahim is the mercy that is saved for those who believe in him, that repent their sins, and that turn to God for guidance. It is the mercy that forgives, that tests and that rewards the believers. So even though we would like you and everyone else in this world to be able to receive the Mercy of Al-Rahim, we are forbidden to force you. And we are obligated to let you live your choice as long as you don't fight us or threaten our lives. And Allah knows best.(Muslims say that to ensure that only God knows if everything we say is 100% correct) Quran 2:256 "Let there be no compulsion in religion, for the truth stands out clearly from falsehood. So whoever renounces false gods and believes in Allah has certainly grasped the firmest, unfailing hand-hold. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing." Quran 109:1-6 "Say, "O disbelievers," "I do not worship what you worship." "Nor are you worshippers of what I worship." "Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship." "Nor will you be worshippers of what I worship." "For you is your religion, and for me is my religion." Quran 60:8-9 "Allāh does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allāh loves those who act justly." "Allāh only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers."

Ironically, they blame the Jews for the Great Replacement, and then call us Anti Semitic 🤣

No religion has been excluded, no one prays. That's the same rule for everyone. Accept it or go somewhere else

@@MichaelWillby Or pray regardless, because it is your right under Article 9! What are they going to say "Stop standing, stop bowing, stop kneeling" what a joke!

​​@@MichaelWillby"No one prays" you say this as if you actually speak for everyone else. Speak for yourself. You don't pray because you have no morality. So a large number of practising British Christian should leave the country as well then? Just because you're ignorant and full of hate and assumes no one prays? The whole country forces Christmas and Easter on everyone else, at work and in school. And these are Christian religious celebration. We should ban these as well and deport all Christians back to Rome? Right... According to your flawed and backwards logic. Don't be a hypocrite. Everyone has a right to pray in a democracy such a Britain. If you don't like that then YOU go somewhere else.

@@MichaelWillby It's like asking a Sikh to remove their turban because no one elses wearing it. That's the same rule for everyone. Accept it or go somewhere else.

As far as I see it they want nobody to pray at school. That's only consequent.

An immigrant religious holiday...against a native religious holiday 😂 clearly you need to return to school. Where was Jesus born? Where did he live? What language did he speak? I'll give you a spoiler. It was not England.

@@Hidingteddy Yes. It was not england but the point is Eid and ramadan have come to britain through immigration whereas christmas and easter are part of the religion and culture of the native british people. You should respect their culture without imposing your will on others. Especially, if you don’t give christians in your home country equal rights.

Wow, so Christianity came from West? It came from Middle East, the same god which is Jesus spoke Aramaic on Palestine. Jesus have beard with a complexion of typical middle eastern and dress differently from Western. This is ridiculous, trying to westernized Jesus, take it as their own and wanna put some images that he is white, blue eyes, blonde. Hilarious

but I agree, Christmas is not really a celebration of Jesus but a celebration of Western pagans in the past. If you know the history, 12/25 ain't about Jesus since Jesus was never born inn Winter

@kms2789 you can't eat a kebab in school atleast not in the UK.
