Christians:  If a teacher puts Mohammed/Allah up in your classroom, would you riot?
965739
No I would not riot because part of Christianity teaches us to Love Thy Neighbor and to do unto others as you would like done to you.  If we as Human Beings, one by one set an example of tolerance of all peoples beliefs, we can bring about change no matter how long it takes.  If the people of this world looked at each other as fellow human beings instead of defining a person according to their beliefs there would be less violence and more unity amongst us.

I would say a diffent yesssssssss to that question without a doubt. If you are afraid to pray in front of anyone no matter who it is then you need to be asking yourself whyy? If , it is just talking in class to keep from doing your work and it would get you into trouble with the teacher(s) that would be something that you would not want to do.Praying should not be and I pray at home,in my car, and everywhere . so pray for our nation our President and pray for those in Iraq and just prayyyyyyyyyyy. Never be afraid to prayyyyyy   in front of anyone if they are offended then just tell them to hold on a minute and then pray and go back and start talking again  and you might be surprised you may get others to praying with you...... !!!

I know exactly what your saying!\n\nthey would never stop a muslim or budist or gay people from talking about there beliefs or praying in school. But when it comes to chritians it's a big deal! it's become a different kinda persicution they might not be killing us but they still don't let us talk and acted freely about our beliefs!

True muslims should get offended because Jesus is considered a major prophet in Islam. \n\nFanatics won't, but they are really not true muslims.

Yes.  Islamic fundamentalist's brain wash children and teach them to hate... it is no surprise then, that they grow up to perpetuate that hate.

That's the flaw in their argument. Nine times out of ten, they only want Christian prayer and Christian material in schools. It's the same people who support the Ten Commandments being placed in a government building, but would flip over backwards with anger if someone put the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism or the Five Pillars of Islam in there as well.

I saw a special about this on CNN and about all the really fundamentalist Al Qaeda people watch is Tom & Jerry cartoons. Most Muslims though have no more restriction on that than Christians do (or supposed to).

You need proper guidance. And a better teacher to teach you islam and its background. I dont know why non-muslims always have wrong conceptions about islam.

I think a bigger question or a different approach is " does it hurt the student's actions. And what religion are you talking about? If it's Christianity then how can the teaching of love, morals, respect, and humility hurt? Religious classes shouldn't be forced in school but it could be an elective.

Because the atheists would be offended, the very concept of God seems to offend them.\n\nPersonally, I think it couldn't hurt.  If someone just said a prayer, it might be a bit more difficult to pull a drive by shooting after school.  Wouldn't stop drive-by shootings, but might make a few of these kids think first and may not do it.

We sign a blood pact with the Secret Leader of the Cult of English Teachers, aka She Who Must Be Obeyed, aka The Greater Gerund Goddess!  On penalty of losing our right to wield red-ink pens and snarl at poorly constructed essays, we swear to be mean and evil and visit our wrath upon those poor wretches, our students.  \n\nSo you see, if we didn't cackle like the Furies and berate like banshees we'd be in serious trouble.\n\n-A former English teacher

We Christians are not taught to "hate" anyone! However, we are taught the truth, which is, that Jesus is the Son of God. This guy they call mohammed never died on the cross for anyones sins! He is not of importance, but just another man who thinks he knows it all. If you are a real Chrisitan you will realize that when someone does not have Christ in their religion, they are called, you guessed it, an anti-Christ. We do not hate muslims, but we really don't like them trying to push this Islam off on us. I have seen on TBN where there are many muslims converting to Christianity. When you tell muslims this, they report you!

Yes, and what if they are wrong and Islam is right? Then they will go to the same place us lol! Or maybe the Jews are right and then they will also get punished for idolising. In the end it boils down to where and by whom you get brought up. Christians/ Judaism and Islam have just done to much harm in the past for me to trust any of them.

The Mohammed cartoons did not limit any Muslim person's ability to practice their religion.\n\nMaking images of Mohammed is banned in Islam.  But this prohibition doesn't apply to non-Muslims, even though some Muslims seemed to think it does.\n\nAs a Catholic, I've seen and heard derogatory and offensive things about Catholicism that make the Mohammed cartoons look tame by comparison.  \n\nI think this kind of stuff is highly offensive -- but that's part of living in a society where we have free speech.  It means that occasionally, we have to put up with something offensive.\n\nOffensive anti-Catholic material is, to put it mildly, not what I like to see or read -- but I don't feel it has ever limited my ability to practice my religion.

I can't believe people are still sneaking in **** about god in schools.  I'm tired of that too.  Why does everyone assume we are all pro god? I think you should sue for all you can.  That's illegal and the teacher is breaking the law!  See if you can google a lawyer that caters to that topic and she or he could give you some good advise.\n\nGood Luck,\nKelly

If they teach in a religious institution, then yes.  If they teach in a public institution, no.  If they teach in a private school, then they should act in accordance with the school policy.\n\nI have a very simple rule for answering these questions.  I substitute Satanism in for religion and see how I respond since that is also a religion.  Do I want a teacher in a public school talking about his or her devil worship?  No.  Therefore, no to all religious talk in public schools.
