No Nativity play because of Muslims

Why could the school not have chosen an all white cast for the Nativity play, or would they then been accused of racism?

But then perhaps in this school it is the white children that are the minority, therefore there would not have been enough children to make up the cast.

Has no one noticed the positive side of this report? Firstly, young muslims were taking part in the play, I find that very inspiring. Secondly, a muslim father was saddened that the play had been postponed, he said there was room for the two religions to celebrate their festivals alongside each other. Eid lasts three days, the children don't have to be at home for the whole time, they could still have done the play and then finished their celebration of Eid afterwards.

There is however an Ultimate problem, and political correctness, religious harmony cannot crawl around it.

Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

You can't find a middle path here, either Jesus is the son of God, or he isn't. There is no prophet (pbuh) compromise.

It is not possible for Christians to dilute their beliefs to fit in with and placate Islam, because if they do, then their belief has gone.

There is no middle path. The Western way of life will go under as a result of trying to find a compromise.

Here knobby, have a banana and a scratch.

It doesn't really matter who is right or wrong on the subject of Christianity,
The fact still remains , we do not want muslims telling us what we can or cant do
If Christianity offends Islam in this country,they still have every right to leave it,


And good riddance.

knobby, buy lippy a burkha, before you are forced to.

[cherrybea]

Queen, Im sulking,you didnt answer my question. Would you be willing to postpone Thanksgiving so the muslims can celebrate Eid?

[Gormless]

Islam will pass Basildon and Dagenham by. It simply won't happen there.

[cherrybea]

You reckon??

[QueenOfAmber]

Cherrybea,

The answer is no. Thanksgiving is a really good holiday. (apart from it celebrating the fact that the pilgrims defeated the Native Americans and destroyed their land just because they wanted to discover a new land...)

****-head you might get reported for that answer - a bit too far if you ask me.

[QueenOfAmber]

****-head you are so easily gullible.

If I told you I was an alien from another planet with blue hair, green skin and huge antenna's you would probably believe it.
