jayjayoghani Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I'll be having an Islamic Easter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted April 2, 2010 Site Supporter Share Posted April 2, 2010 I'll be having an Islamic Easter Speaking of which, in Sainsbury yesterday, four women in their Burkas picking out Easter eggs. I must admit, after chuckling at myself at the irony, I wondered if they knew the significance of eggs at Easter time. So I asked my daughter what the significance of eggs was at Easter time . . . she doesn't know either! But she does know bits about the q'ran and other religion's beliefs! Her RE teacher is a Muslim, you see. She also knows fuck all about Daniel in the lion's den, David and Goliath, Moses and the burning bush, I could go on. Now I'm no follower of any religion but was brought up a Christian in the Methodist Church. I was pretty much forced to go to Sunday School by my mum who, in turn, was forced to go by her own mum. By now we're getting into the real God-fearing days! What I learned at Sunday School I still recall now. My point in all this is; if they're going to make RE a compulsary subject in schools, then at least teach the religion of OUR country alongside those of others. I mean no racist or religious bigottry in this post and realise that the thread will change direction. If they so wish, the mods can start this as a seperate thread.

Big_Girl_Oral_Explosion Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 All religion should be banned in schools. There is no place for this mumbo jumbo in a modern 21st century society. Children being taught creationism and it being given the same credance as evolution at the insistence of that born again lunatic Blair is one of the biggest stains on this countrys educational system.

Sorry, I don't recall saying I wanted a good Christian upbringing for my children. I was saying that; of the religious content at school, it is mostly aimed towards learning the beliefs and cultures of other folk rather than the beliefs and fables taken from Christianity. I was also saying that because of the content of the lessons they are getting, they know more about Islam than they do about Christianity. I don't know much about folk's religions on this board. Religion, fortunately, has no place in discussions on a football board. I therefore don't know whether kids at a designated religion-led school; Canon Slade = CofE, Thornleigh, Mount St josephs, = Catholic. Do their own religious education include more about others' religions than their own? As it happens, If I was able, I'd opt my children out of RE lessons. It is worth a half GCSE. Time could, in my opinion, be better spent learning other things. Strange thing is; I'm not allowed. Conversely, a Jehova's Witness I used to go to school with didn't have to attend any assembley with any religious content, including hymn singing, and opted out of RE lessons. Either the rules have changed or it's one rule for one and a different rule for others. There are a number of Islamic schools in and around the Bolton area. Do you think they have any input at all in Christianity, Judaism, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they have any input at all in Christianity, Judaism, etc.? i never said you did. although reading it back can see how it might have seemed like i was doing. kids learning about each others religion might be one way of realising that the 'other lot' ot no worse or better than 'our lot' i think RE should be taught but when kids get older and can debate what they are told. my partners kids go to a catholic school and they an exchange with a muslim school in bradford and visit the mosque and vica versa.

Big_Girl_Oral_Explosion Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) so you don't think its a good idea to explain to kids what 'mumbo jumbo' leads folk to be willing to blow themselves up? In a western society i would adopt the approach that religion is as a belief should be consigned to the same bin as that of the flat earthers. The Beliefs of Islam should be scoffed and dismissed in school lessons as those of similar fantastical beliefs, ......the cannibal tribes who believe that eating the heads of their enemies will prolong their lives and give them extra strength or those who believe in Greek or Egyptian gods. They are as all equal if you give credence to belief over fact. If your argument where to be taken to its ultimate conclusion then we should set aside time to explain why Santa is not real. He is just as real as the other mumbo jumbo given any rules you want to apply in your make believe world!
