Mosque Shock: School Rocked by Field Trip Vid of Kids Bowing to Allah

Prayer was taken out of public schools decades ago. But as one parent learned in Wellesly, Massachusetts, if students take a field trip to the local mosque, praying to Allah is quite alright.

The organization Americans for Peace and Tolerance recently released a mini-documentary about a sixth grade public school field trip to a large mosque, sold to parents as a history lesson, but delivered as much more:

The video was taken inside the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center – Boston’s controversial Saudi-funded mega-mosque – during a Wellesley Middle School social studies trip to the mosque, ostensibly taken to learn about the history of Islam first-hand. Yet the video reveals that the students are being blatantly mis-educated about Islam.

Some of the young boys can be seen prostrating to Allah while shoulder-to-shoulder with Muslim men. However, only male students were given the opportunity to participate — the female students and female chaperons had to watch from a distance:

This evening, the school apologized. “I extend my sincere apologies for the error that occurred and regret the offense it may have caused,” Wellesley School Superintendent Bella Wong said. “It was not the intent for students to be able to participate in any of the religious practices. The fact that any students were allowed to do so in this case was an error.”

Americans for Peace and Tolerance has long opposed the mosque shown in the video (which it says is the largest in the Northeast). When the mosque first opened in 2009, the organization wrote an op-ed in the Boston Globe accusing the mosque’s leaders of being extremists, linking them to groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood:

The city has helped the Wahhabi clerical establishment — purveyors of the most intolerant religious teachings on the planet — and the Muslim Brotherhood — genesis of all Sunni terrorist organizations — set up shop in the Cradle of Liberty, flying a false flag of moderation.

The Mosque claims that no child was asked to participate, but admits that it did not turn away those who showed interest in participating. “Certainly in our tours we do not invite kids to take part, but if someone wants to come pray and take part, we shouldn’t prevent them,” said Bilal Kaleem, president of the Muslim American Society of Boston.

“It’s more an issue with the school,” he added.

But if I was Sarah Palin, and I said, “Snoop Dogg acts like a typical Black Person”, you are saying I wouldn’t be called a racist? But if I say my grandma acted like a typical white person and her reactions were “BRED” into her. That wouldn’t make me a racist?

      OK, I will say it slooooow. Obama called his white grandmother a racist, and said it was BRED into her to be distrustful of black people…or make her cross the street of people who weren’t like her. So, if I said my Indian Grandfather was distrustful of those who were not Indian or of his tribe, would that be RACIST? If Palin said she crossed the street to avoid Intuits (Alaskan Natives). Would she be called a racist? If I said my Grandfather taught me to be distrustful of the white man, would that make him a racist? It is just putting things in place. If one side wants’ to constantly call the other racist, then we must set the standards and equalize the measures. That is what we do in engineering, it is called standardizing.

      The field trip of a middle school to a Muslim Mosque is nothing but subterfuge, an attempt to indoctrinate children in the “virtues” of Islam. Do the liberal, progressive, marxist followers of a presidency that promotes a “fundamental transformation of America” and the “redistribution of the wealth” believe all Americans are so naive? Islam is a pagan and idolatrous religion that practices

    Glenn Beck is NOT a true Christian! He is a member of the Mormon CULT! Mormons worship the Prophet (like Mohammad), who is said to be the incarnation of God on earth. They do not believe in the Bible, only in the Book of Mormon. They believe that a man named Joseph Smith (not Jesus Christ) was the savior of mankind. They believe in many gods. They believe in polygamy. They believe in baptism after death. They even preach that good Mormons can become gods when they die!

    Mormonism is the fastest growing religion in the world, because they are always trying to convert true Christians to their false faith by any means necessary. Glenn Beck plans to use his power to brain-wash and convert his followers to serve the Prophet! Please, don’t listen to his lies!

I may not believe in all religions, but as long as they preach kindness, family, charity, and community, they are much better than religions that preach exclusion, pettiness, and hatred. Who is anyone to condem another religion? Who is correct? No one will know until they pass, then all will be revealed. Who knows, maybe the Wickens are the correct ones?

      In the days since 8.28 there has been a lot written about Glenn not being a Christian…about his being a Mormon…about what it means when someone is a Mormon. I will add to this discussion what I have posted elsewhere. It is not for me to judge Glenn’s relationship with God, or God’s relationship with Glenn Beck. It is not my place to judge why God may have chosen someone like Glenn to proclaim to our nation of the need to “turn back to God”, pray and fast. At no time has Glenn preached to us to follow his God, or to follow him. He tells us that we need to find God ourselves. He tells us that our nation is in trouble. He tells us to “do your own research”. If Glenn WERE preaching for us to follow him…or believe as he does with respect to Mormonism that would be different. But he doesn’t. That his statements are colored by his beliefs is no surprise. So it is with all of us. What God may be doing in Glenn’s life, I have no idea. Where God will lead Glenn….I also have no idea. It is only for me to know where God may be leading me. Glenn tells us to turn inward and find God. I do believe that when a person honestly seeks, s/he will find God. Glenn is telling us to honestly seek and repent on our knees.

      For me, I have no interest in defending or condemning Mormonism. For me it is a person’s own heart and their relationship with God/Jesus that ends up being the most important issue for that one particular person. For many protestant faiths, the Catholic Church is the harlot, and for hard core traditional Catholics, everyone else is a heretic. And so where does that get you? As Glenn says, “question boldly even the existence of God…” but question. I do believe that whenever anyone does truly question and goes on a journey to seek God, they will find God. (seek and ye shall find…not words to be taken lightly.)

      I do suggest it is a major error to get lost in a maze of rhetoric about what Mormons believe or don’t believe, and whether I believe what they believe and I don’t believe what they believe. The important thing is to stay the course on Individual Freedom…seek God….and live a life ruled by faith, hope and charity. Those are the pearls that Glenn offers. That is the message I take away from his words.

      I find it interesting that on September 3rds broadcast, Glenn raised the question, “but why a Mormon?” My answer to that question is simple. God chose a “Mormon” because no one else was doing anything about bringing our country as a country back to God. God would have chosen a Catholic, if the Catholics were listening …He would have chosen a Lutheran if the Lutherans were listening. He chose a Mormon, because Glenn was listening. Regardless what anyone says, I do say “thank God for Glenn and people like him who have the courage to once again be talking about God and morals and values” Glenn does warn sternly about marrying politics and religion together. And so those are words we need to heed too as we move forward to restore freedom again in our country.

      I also thank God for all of the people involved in this group and similar groups across the country. It will not be easy to stay the course on freedom…and it has taken tremendous courage on each of your parts to take the stand and say “we are not going to take it any more”! And as one of our local leaders keeps reminding us… we need to remember December after November. The fight is just beginning…but at least, people are waking up. A new day dawns not on election day….but everyday until we get and preserve our freedoms again.

      For Catholics, I do encourage them to read the many encyclicals written by Pope Benedict. He has been prolific in his writing against liberation theology, social justice, communism, socialism, and Marxism. Saul Alinsky did infiltrate the Catholic Church in America in a most insidious way… Pope Benedict’s writings are the solution to Alinsky’s heresy. As Glenn and others on stage at 8.27 and 8.28 announced…there is a Great Awakening happening in America. For Catholics, I encourage you to take a look at the Archbishop of Denver’s speech from August: http://www.archden.or...

      An excellent book on Benedict’s writings is: The Essential Pope Benedict XVI: His Central Writings and Speeches by John Thornton and Susan Varenne. Harper one Press

      With respect to this whole issue that is being raised of an individuals faith, it is really a device meant to divide. We are facing very dark times and events are moving quickly. People may be bringing it up as what is a legitimate concern in their mind, but we do need to be cautious about things that come up that are meant to divide. “Screwtape Letters” is a different kind of “rules for radicals”… interesting read, interesting perspective on spiritual warfare.

      Glenn always says, when you’re side tracked by one issue, always check to see what is going on with the other hand…and much is “going on” these days with that “other hand”. We can’t afford to get sidetracked and divided. We very much need to stay the course on freedom and preservation of our liberties. One example is the health care act. That act is “nudge” on steroids — total control of the entire us population under the guise of research, education, and “for your protection”. With respect to research, imagine the entire United States as your laboratory, and the entire United States population as your study population. Realize that DNA is already collected on every baby born in this country. Add to that monitoring BMI , a complete record of all health issues and health data on that person, the ability to do psychological profiling, behavioral studies, and indoctrination under the title of “education”, and you have a frightening scenario. Now add to that the fact that you do not need to inform anyone that they are the subject of any research project (voluntary, informed consent is not part of the lingo in the act), add adult formation of chidren clauses, and you have a society that has lost it’s freedoms. A movie worth watching is GATTACA. We are not far from that reality — and it is all in the health care act already passed into law. That is the reason we need to stay the course and not allow things to divide us. These are most critical times. There is a lot at stake!

      Where do you get your misinformation from?
      What is a Christian? A Christian is someone that follows the teachings of Christ as set forth in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. Mormons do…
      Their only God is the God of Abraham as in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible… Same as any other Christian, and for that matter Jewish(Torah), religion.
      The Book of Mormon is a “companion scripture” to the bible and does NOT replace it.
      The Mormon Prophet is a man, not a God, and the leader of the Mormon Church, much like the Pope is the leader of the Catholic Church.
      They very much believe Jesus Christ is the Savior. Joseph Smith was the first Prophet and founder of the Mormon church. He recovered gold plates and translated The Book of Mormon from them.
      They did practice polygamy at one time though the main stream Mormon Church abandoned it long ago(sometime in the late 1800s) and will excommunicate any member who would do so today.
      My understanding is they had many more women converts than men gathered into their early settlements and rather than risk adultery, and also to grow their population, they practiced polygamy as in the Old Testament in the Holy Bible.
      They do baptisms for the dead… they believe those on the other side have choice as to weather to accept or not, so it is performed in their name.
      They believe they will as, priesthood holders, be called on in heaven to do administration. Not the same as being Gods.
      As far as Glen Beck lying I haven’t seen any, he has called for a return to religion, not to his but your own. There may be quite a few converts to the Mormon religion because of him but not because he told them to join, rather by there own curiosity.

      How do I know all this… My parents and several of my sisters are Mormon. I’ve known many Mormons in my life and can say they are among the nicest and most honorable people I’ve known.

      The Mormon faith does have a different understanding of what most Christian expressions call the “Trinity” (Father, Son, Holy Spirit). They also believe that the canon of scripture was not closed and includes some texts in addition to the Holy Bible. However, they do NOT believe that Joseph Smith was the savior. The church’s teaching around issues of soteriology are firmly in concert with other Christian expressions.

    Wow, I wonder if any of the kids had a burger and a smoke while they were out. Now that would be shocking. Hopefully no kid had an American flag shirt and all the girls should have been in Burkas. Did they have time to show them how to put on the suicide vest, or is that the advanced classes.

    Did you ever wonder why there isn’t any suicide/murders instead of murder/suicides?

      Thanks for the correction. Bigot instead of Racist. I really have no problem with the Muslims, but when they preach they are a religion of peace, but if we don’t allow them to build a Mosque, blood will flow. Doesn’t seem to mesh. It seems to me the Greek Orthodox want to rebuild their church, which was destroyed during 9/11, but they aren’t saying violence will happen if it is not rebuilt. So, I am speaking fact. How many Chrisitians have killed a filmmaker in the street for making an anti-christiian film? Does the Pope openly call for a Holy War agaiinst those who will ridicule the bible? I am very open to any point of view, this is a free country, but anyone who will threaten violence against anyone who will speak out, in my opinion, is the RACIST/BIGOT. If you want to defend Islam, tell me, where is the peaceful part of the religion? Where is the tolerance? Who is the intolerant, by the way, what is a racist or bigot, someone who has no tolereance for someone or something that is different.

      Well, here the thing…

      When Islam was young, it lacked the people and strength to force conversion, so there were many verses regarding the peaceful coexistence of Jews, Christians and Muslims. However, as Islam gained followers and strength, peaceful coexistence was replaced by humiliating subjugation. In the end, it was all about conversion or death. Since the Koran is supposed to be the direct Word Of God spoken through Muhammad, it must be infallible; however, contradictions (see above) exist. In these cases, the later, more violent verses are deemed to be ‘more perfect’ and are the ones to be followed (the concept of ‘abrogation’). I always marvel when I see Western politicians quote from the Koran and take the verse out of context or, more often, are oblivious to the hierarchy of the verses.

      What’s happening is a tenant of modern Progressivism: moral equivalence. Basically, Progressives believe that morality is not a fixed thing and one person’s view of morality is as good as the next, any one religion is a good as any other, and every culture is as good as the next. Under this view, morality is flexible and must be viewed ‘in context’ which makes any and all behavior acceptable. However, our Country is founded on Judeo-Christian principles and values; without them, we will fail.

      Maybe that’s the goal?

      Islam only recognizes Jesus as another prophet, not the son of god. Islam refers to Jews, Christians as Muslims as “Children of the Book” because they all believe in the same God, the same (older) prophets and the same Biblical stories. The problem is that when Muhammad was trying to win over the Jews and Christians by relating the biblical stories, he got them wrong…when the Christians and Jews pointed out that he was wrong, his only recourse was to claim that the Jews and Christians had adulterated the Word Of God over time and that their religions were false (which leads to the statements about the Jews being those who have incurred God’s anger while the Christians, who worship Jesus as the Son Of God, have gone astray).
      As much as Islam is against Jews and Christians, it has no tolerance for the pagan/polytheist religions. Of course, Muhammad did allow converts to worship their own goddess for a brief time, which he later recanted when Gabriel told Muhammad that the words were from Satan and not God (hence the ‘satanic verses’).

      QweeQwa, the Christian God and Allah are NOT one and the same. I am like you in that I believe that God loves all of his children and has sent prophets, teachers, and guides among every nation and people. I do believe we all worship the same god but by different names and by different customs according to our individual languages and cultures. And I do believe that is a beautiful thing.

      However, I am the daughter of Jewish mother and a Christian father. I am also the wife of a Muslim. When I married my husband, I was convinced that Islam was a religion of peace that had been distorted by extremists and misunderstood by most.

      After experiencing Islam first hand, I increasingly believe that Allah is not God at all. Allah is the opposite of everything that God stands for. When I read the New Testament, my heart is filled with peace and hope. When I read the Koran, my heart is filled with darkness. Allah is a “god” of hate, death, and lies who robs both male and female of the most basic freedoms.

      I firmly believe from first hand experience and from reading the Koran that Allah is not God, but is the devil himself.

      Croyce — what a beautiful testimony you have. You are one of very few people with the depth of experience and understanding on this to be able to truly know the difference between God and Allah. It seems so silly to make the discussion about whether “God” and “Allah” are the same. Here’s how I see it: one person might call a lion a lion, while another might call it a big cat. Doesn’t really matter. However, if one person believes the lion is dangerous and knows to stay away, while the other person believes the big cat is just misunderstood and in need of a nice belly rub, we all know who would come out the winner in that contest. It’s not about the name, but rather the understanding of God and what He has done for us that matters. Or am I wrong about that?

      God had an important plan for Israel and wanted them to survive as a nation. The Amalekites in trying to destroy Israel were fighting against God. God put a stop to it.

      God did not order the destruction of the Amalekites because they would not follow his word. God did not order the destruction of the Amalekites because they would not call upon him by name. God ordered their destruction because THEY warred against HIM.

There is a difference between those who don’t know God and those who HATE Him. That is why the end will not come until the gospel has been preached to all the earth. He wants to give everyone a chance to choose good vs. evil. He is patient. As a parent we want our children to do what is right. We are patient with them as they make their mistakes and we try to teach them along the way. In the end they know who we are and hopefully they will follow in our path and do what is right, but they have the free will to choose their own path. If they grow up to outright HATE us and do evil things, if that child is beating and tormenting the other children who are behaving and doing right, would you still allow that child to live in your house unpunished? His desire is that “none shall perish” however He also will not tolerate wickedness.

      TO: TRANQUILRIDER:

      I’ll explain: Only the Left vigorously opposes all things religious in the “public square,” especially in schools….. unless its Islam.

      And only the Left would be so arrogant – after spending decades attacking and debasing Christianity, and fantasizing about “separation of church and state” – to then take public school kids on a trip to a mosque. And to have them pray to allah.

Now I will mention Obama because he should stand up and say something about how public schools are allowing prayer in the curriculum of it’s students. If they were at a church and praying and didn‘t let any of the homosexual kids pray I’m sure he would have interrupted Dancing with the Stars live from the Oval Office.

      I know how you feel, but consider this:

      It’s consistent with a lot of liberal ways of thinking. The Muslims are seen as an oppressed group, and so now liberals are making every possible concession they can to them. Liberals do this all the time if you think about it. If you ask me, this is another example of liberalism (or progressivism, I’m not good with terms) becoming the dominant way of thinking in schools. Why that’s happening though, is another question. I think the question of “how to fight back” can be answered in many ways though. Public outrage helps.

      Jews, Christians and Muslims all pray to the same God. The differences are in the individual beliefs and practices. I would be more concerned about what they prayed for rather than the act of praying…most likely it included Sura (chapter) 1 of the Koran which says, in part:

      “Guide us to the Straight Way – The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace [Muslims] , not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger [such as the Jews], nor of those who went astray [such as the Christians].”

I hope what the kids learned is that the women could not participate. That at the middle shool age peer pressure is very great would be another thing for the teacher to point out. Also that from what I understnad is that all Muslim prayers have a praise to Mohammod in them not God to god only. What a waste of school money all places of religion are generally the same so are the church’s . The Muslims do seperate the men and women and the men all go down to the foreheads on their little mats.

They dont have a right to build a mosque that discriminates based on gender. The ACLU sued a private golf course for not allowing women, yet these Mosques are proof of their intolerance for our western values and culture.You as an LDS should know the government has the right to prevent religious activity that does not comply with US law. Where’s the outrage by women organizations and civil rights activists over this. Do some further research and I bet you’ll find those girls were split up before entering the building and had to use a back door. There is no moderate Islam and they are only pretending to be so until they have a majority. Then you’ll find out their true intentions. SHARIA LAW FOR THE WORLD

We have been told “by their fruits you may know them.” The fruit that falls from the Muslim Religion is bitter ans rotten. We need to find the truth in the only true God and Jesus Christ whom he sent. Also one last comment. The true prophets always taught and testified of Christ, Jehovah, I Am, They are all the same being.
      They testified of his divinity, of his mission on earth, his atoning sacrifice and his eternal love for all of us. Mohamed never taught this therefore he is not a true prophet.

      @ Postprogressiveamerican: We do not all pray to the same God, this is a lie taught to us by progressives and muslims. Allah and Yaweh (the God of Israel) are not the same. If you read the koran and read the Bible you will notice distinct differences in the very character of their god vs. the Christian God. For one their god changes and adapts as time goes on, the God of the Bible is the same yesterday today and always. Their god is not a god of love and free will, he rules as a dictator. He is unitarian (no trinity) and he is unknowable whereas the Christian God is knowable. The koran denies Jesus as the Son of God all together, which is a direct conflict to the God of the Bible who called Jesus “My Son”. Here is a good site that goes through the differences. http://www.apologeticsindex.org/i07ab.html.

      @DEMOCRATGIRL:
      First of all, your knowledge of etymology is staggering. The word “Allah” comes from the same Semitic rout as “Elohim,” which is the Hebrew word used IN THE BIBLE for God. The only difference: the change in language. Second of all, you cannot say that just because it was written “after the Bible” that the Quran is untrue. You are undoubtedly referring to the end of Revelation where John says that any additions are evil. Well, the same thing can be found in the 4th chapter of Deuteronomy. Additionally, Revelation was written well before (in time) about half of the books in the New Testament. Therefore, it can be concluded that the warning in Revelation refers only to additions to Revelation. Try arguing the truthfulness of something based on merit or demerit.

      To Anyone who wants to know:

      God (English name for God) and Allah (Arabic name for God) are the Same Name but in Different Religions and Cultures they Mean Different Things.

      Names of God
      Main article: Names of God
      Conceptions of God can vary widely, but the word God in English—and its counterparts in other languages, such as Latinate Deus, Greek Θεός, Slavic Bog, Sanskrit Ishvara, or Arabic Allah—are normally used for any and all conceptions. The same holds for Hebrew El, but in Judaism, God is also given a proper name, the tetragrammaton (usually reconstructed as Yahweh or YHWH, or Jehovah), believed to be a mark of the religion’s henotheistic origins. In many translations of the Bible, when the word “LORD” is in all capitals, it signifies that the word represents the tetragrammaton.[8] God may also be given a proper name in monotheistic currents of Hinduism which emphasize the personal nature of God, with early references to his name as Krishna-Vasudeva in Bhagavata or later Vishnu and Hari.[9] For aboriginal Guanches(Tenerife, Spain) God is called Achamán.[10]
      It is difficult to distinguish between proper names and epitheta of God, such as the names and titles of Jesus in the New Testament, the names of God in the Qur’an, and the various lists of the thousand names of Hindu gods and List of titles and names of Krishna in Vaishnavism.
      Throughout the Hebrew and Christian Bible there are many names for God that portray his (God is always characterised as male in Biblical sources) nature and character. One of them is elohim,[11][12] (which is actually a plural word). Another one is El Shaddai, meaning “God Almighty”.[13] A third notable name is El Elyon, which means “The Most High God”.[14]

      Wellesley School Superintendent Bella Wong and the schools principle should be fired for facilitating this and allowing this to happen. She and the schools principle have the duty to ensure the protection of the children and to investigate ALL DANGERS and TRESPASSES these children might endure before allowing such a field trip to occur. The teachers and chaperons should have stood up, said hell no, and grabbed all of the kids and got back on the bus. If my child was one of those, I would be in jail now for the harm I would have inflicted. I nearly beat up my own childs principle when I found out his school was teaching muslim Sunday school in class. When your 11 year old kid draws a picture of mohamed saying there is no true god but allah, it enrages the holy living crap out of you and you want some one to pay with stitches.

      PostProgressiveAmerican You are very wrong my friend. Jews, Christians, and muslims do not pray to the same God. the Juedo-Christian God is I am, Jehovah, or known by several other names. muslims pray to allah. The Juedo-Christian God teaches of peace and love, Allah is the lord of death, enslavement, rape, plundering and pillaging, as well as forced conversion or death. mohamed claimed to have killed 900 infidels. All three religions may be descended from Abraham, but the sons of Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac, is where the religions split apart. Ishmael was the father of the Arabs and Isaac the father of the Jews. The muslims believe Jews and Christians are to be converted or killed. If we believe in the same god then why would we need to be converted.

      As long as you want to quote Suras…
      Sura 3:28 Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends rather than believers; and whoever does this, he shall have nothing of (the guardianship of) Allah.

      Sura 5:51 O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

      Sura 9:5 Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters (Jews and Christians) wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush.

      Sura 9:29 Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.

      Sahi Hadith Book 041, Number 6984: Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

      What else is left to say??? Any good muslim following his god’s teachings would follow these. It is not a religion of peace and we are not worshiping the same God.
