At Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins, Colorado, earlier last year a member of their “Cultural Arms Club” led the entire student body in an Arabic version of our Pledge of Allegiance, replacing the words “under God” with “under Allah.”
Principal Tom Lopez has come under fire for ´pushing an Islamic agenda´, which he denies, stating the move was to “destroy the barriers, embrace the cultures” that exist within the school.

Brilliant. They are all pledging allegiance to this country. And, those who are Muslim get to express the sentiment that makes this patriotic vow even more sincere… since they can invoke their entire belief system into the pledge instead of having it tainted by words that mean nothing to them. As for the Christians, they get to experience how others feel when they are forced to speak words that diminish the purpose of the pledge. What a great way to get people to stop being so obsessed with trying to make others believe as they do on EVERYTHING….instead of trying to come together on the things that mean the most. Peace. Love. Happiness. Too many wars have been fought because of one religion trying to force their ideas on others. What has that accomplished other than pain, death and hatred? I don’t think any religion holds those three objectives as the holy trinity of their belief system. And, if you recall correctly, the original pledge did not include any reference to any religion…. because it was meant to be a pledge to the country known for welcoming people of all religions. The anger you feel at having these words inserted into the pledge must be similar to the anger that was felt by so many when the words ‘under God’ were inserted into the pledge by a Conservative group many years ago. We should revert to the original pledge to again become the country admired by all.
