SECOND GRADERS IN INDIANA ASKED TO SING TO ALLAH

Todd Starnes of Fox News Radio is reporting that second graders in an elementary school in Fishers, IN were scheduled to sing songs in praise to Allah until a conservative group raised enough of a ruckus.

Once again, it appears double standards and hypocrisy were all set to win the day as demonstrated by the comments of the school's principal as REPORTED BY STARNES:
The principal of Lantern Road Elementary School in Fishers, IN, said they were trying to teach inclusiveness through their holiday production. It included references to Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Las Posadas and Kwanzaa. However, no other deity, other than Allah, was referenced in the show.
Inclusion by exclusion? Is that like addition by subtraction?

Check out the lyrics that were scheduled to be sung...
“Allah is God, we recall at dawn,
Praying ‘til night during Ramadan
At this joyful time we pray happiness for you,
Allah be with you all your life through.”
Juxtaposed with that is apparently what the school's principal views as an equivalent Christian song..
“I didn’t know there was a little boy at the manger. What child is this?
I’m not sure if there was a little boy or not.
Then why did you paint one on your nativity window?
I just thought if there was a little boy, I’d like to know exactly what he (sic) say.
Not only did the former name, "Allah" while the second one did not but the second one seems to focus on doubt in a matter of faith.

Despicable.
