Roman Catholic schools in the UK provoked outrage when they announced that they would not teach students about Islam in religious studies courses, opting instead to make lesson plans revolving around Judaism.
This move was brought about by recent changes in the British educational system which mandated that schools must teach about two religions as opposed to one, although it is up to individual schools to determine which two they would cover in classes.
These reforms were necessitated by a recent attempt to indoctrinate Muslim students in Birmingham with radical teachings, convincing educators of the need to combat religious fundamentalism in schools.
Keep reading to see how religious leaders reacted to the Catholic schools’ decision:
I believe the history of Islam should be taught, accurately.
get out of here
CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WILL NOT ANS SHOULD NEVER TEACH ANYTHING ABOUT ISLAM, RIDICULOUS.
MUSLIMS WOULD NEVER TEACH CHRISTIANITY SO DEAL WITH IT.
Newsflash! Islam is not a legitimate religion!
Mike Daniel you are wrong about the fact that we are talking about private CATHOLIC schools. Learn how to read something besides the koran.
No islam in schools
Islam and truth don’t belong with each other.
Islam goes with death, Hell and the grave. Now that’s the proper grouping.
Sorry, but no. Islam is being taught, thanks to Obama and the total silence of the Anti Christ Leaches Union known as the ACLU.
William Velge you are correct the school in the UK are Catholic and being required to teach a second religion. My references was entirely in reference to U.S. public schools where the liberals and the aclu have pretty much eliminated religion. I was raised Catholic and never read the Koran. Don’t know what I wrote get deserve what you so obviously meant as an insult.
How will they teach Judaism
