Hasn't the World changed?

When I was in primary School, is all we shouted was "Block 1 2 3" or "All join on if you wanna play bulldogs, no girls allowed"

I was forced to say the Lord's Prayer every day in Primary School despite the fact that I wasn't Christian because it was a Christian school and the majority of people there were Christian. It's not entirely surprising to see this happen if the school mostly consists of Muslim students except I doubt anyone was forced to say the prayer.

This article is basically just an excuse to trigger sensitive islamaphobes.

Not wanting to say a Muslim prayer doesn't make me an Islamaphobe.

Of course it doesn't which is why I didn't say that.

I love how people think children reciting a muslim prayer means that theyre likely to become muslim.. Because 90% of British adults are avid church goers after their hymn practicing primary schools.
Personally, I think children should be taught of each religion, and atheism, in equal measures. if they find faith in any one of them, then good for them. Who are we to argue against their faith.
I realise this has little to do with the article in the OP, but the authenticity of that article has been debunked enough in the thread.

I've not seen anyone on the thread say that. You are taking a serious leap in your own direction with this remark.

I don't see why any child should be reciting a prayer in school, they'd be much better served reciting the times tables (which they don't do anymore).

Half of Britons are terrified of facism.... not religion.

I know that, the independent knows that and most importantly Lily Allen knows that!

all superstitions and cults have no place in schools

they can be covered in one history lesson in secondary.

How about we call this subject 'Ethics'?...
