Shaf, you just don't get it. Again, if you want to compare ballet and Islamic religious service see the other thread. They aren't the same.
OK, how about if all schools were supposed to be dance-free places. The schools evolved to remove all dance from school practices and curricula. Then one group says they would like to have ballet for 40 minutes every Friday during lunch hour for those who are interested in attending. The tap, hip hop, and jazz dance people felt a bit upset that they always practiced in their respective dance schools outside of the school premises and outside of school hours using no school resources because they understood that public school was a dance-free place. If the ballet dance people can dance at school during school hours, why can't the tap, hip and jazz dance people? I mean, it isn't harming anyone, right?
No one (except the resident Islamophobes) are claiming that this is about a Muslim take-over, its about religion being brought back into schools after all the effort to remove it. But to play devil's advocate, having 40 minutes of Islamic prayer in a school may make other students curious, and they may decide to attend and after a while convert! Perhaps that's why people of other religions in Islamic countries aren't allowed as much freedom to practice, because it is seen as a threat to Islam. A public school that is completely free of religion pleases everyone from multiple religions because it is not a place for instigating the conversion of others. Religion remains an outside of school issue, which parents have more control over. Just saying 🙂
In summary, there should be no religious services offered using public school property, time and resources. It was a mistake for the Toronto District School Board to even let this happen in the first place. EVERYONE is free to practice their religion in their homes, churches, mosques, synagogues and temples. Very sad if that just isn't good enough for some people.
