Religion & education are & should be seperate issues & never the twain should meet. These two pupils being excluded is rather' outrageous!

exactly what he says. religion is a choice. it shouldnt be forced upon anybody. like others have said, imagine if it was the other way around.

[philhoward]

What would happen if it was the other way round - two Muslims refusing the "Christian" assemblies I used to attend?  Nothing at a guess - and thats the way it should be.

I'm an atheist now, by the way - although technically i'm agnostic but went to a CofE school so i don't want to get dragged into Religious arguments...

I'd take it to the top, I would have it out with the head master but I'd probably end up getting arrested, I feel really strongly about this.

I really could RANT on this topic but i undertook not too. Suffice to say would we be afforded the same tolerances in other said countries?

Actually Judaism Christianity and Islam are all related religions

Jews are the original base, then the son of God is Jesus lot - which includes CofE and Catholics, then finally the ones where Jesus is a prophet along with a bloke called Mohammed

But if they were CofE they should have adopted the usual church stance and called him god - now that would have stumped the RE teacher

I beleive that education of the various major faiths is usefull but not to force trying it! What is next - chopping off useful bits?

Seems fair but it would be educational to watch - anyway they all worship the same Diety/bloke/force ect

This is outrageous !  I would not expect any child ( or adult come to that) to be forced to worship a God that was not his --- not only a Christian being forced to worship a Muslim God, but I would not expect a Muslim to be coerced into worshipping a Christian God --- it is grossly disrespectful to both religions!

It's all the same *** God anyway - just different ways of doing it

Also hasn`t a top judge said some shairia laws be adopted in this country as they would benefit us!!! i can just see it now you go to saudi arabia and tell em you will adopt some UK or US laws and they would very quickly make you leave their country...Why is it we allow anyone to dictate to us but when you stand up and say no i don`t want this your a racist or a biggot...I really can see this country erupting somewhere down the line and worst case scenario we become like Germany in the 1930`s and 1940`s...This the United Kingdom you came here to live you came here to work and live in peace you became British citizens..I do not mind if you live here all i ask is respect my culture and country as i would if i lived in your parent country....I am personally sick to death hearing all of this crap and when you investigate it you usually find its us thats doing it!!! beacause we think its what muslims or jews or jedi knights want(yes that is a religion)we are reserved we are stiff and stuck in the past sometimes but that is the british way.I have been to many peoples houses from differing cultures in my various jobs....I had a muslim gent slam the door in my face because i could not remove my saftey boots whilst delivering his 5 domestic products...then i swapped a usa style f/f over for 1 of the most pleasant muslim gents i have met he could not do enough for us i do believe if we had not left his house we would of become part of the family he was that pleasant and hospitable but its just not just muslims at fault we all are for letting common sense go....

Any religion is purely a belief or faith. No grounds for proof exist because their aren't any, no matter how strongly or fanatically any follower of any religion argues otherwise. However another question arises. If you are parents of a newborn or young child & follow any given religion, diet etc. is it right despite all best intentions to inflict your beliefs on your children? If you're a vegetarian is it right not to let your child eat meat when they're too young to decide for themselves....would you feed your dog dried vege mix when he wants pedigree chum & a marrow bone from the butchers?
