Moderators lazarus Posted December 15, 2015 Moderators Posted December 15, 2015 More than a dozen non-Muslim girls at an Illinois high school agreed to wear a traditional Islamic head scarf on Wednesday as part of “Walk a Mile in Her Hijab.” The event, organized by the school’s Muslim Student Association, featured 17 non-Muslims wearing the garment and speaking with other students about the meaning of the hijab. “I think it is a difficult time to be a Muslim student in our high school, in our community and in America,” Vernon Hills High School principal Jon Guillaume told the Daily Herald. “I think this is an opportunity for our kids to embrace the Muslim community within the school. For other kids outside of this organization, to understand what it’s like for these girls to walk through our halls in this garment in a way that stands out from other kids. So, I’m proud of them.” Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. Einstein

Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted December 15, 2015 Members Posted December 15, 2015 I'm waiting for the Christian and Muslim students to wear pentacles, carry athames, and hail Uncle Aleister... that's when I might be impressed...

Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?
