Australian Islamic School BANS Australian National Anthem (1 Viewer)

[spiny norman]

They need to remember they live in AUSTRALIA. We would never dare to go to theirs and enforce upon them our culture and be so inconsiderate as to not adapt to and recognise their traditions.

Awesome.

I wouldn't bother, sam. False alarm.

They should have played the 'Music is haraam' card and cried religious intolerance.

 

[rasengan90]

I agree. Play 'God Save the Queen' instead.

Time for the Crusades.

I wonder if this would be in the news if it were just some regular school.

Probably because they made specific policy decision NOT to have it. I can't see many catholic schools etc. doing that.

Umm they decided to save time by only singing the anthem on special occasions, i see lots of schools doing this. The article was full of shit when they said that the school "banned the anthem".

LOL nowhere in the article does it say they decided to save time by only singing the national anthem on special occasions. I suggest you work on your reading comprehension.

 

[nikolas]

Nothing was banned.

I read the article just fine. It was a sensationalist piece of crap, trefoil provided another article explaining what actually happened.

Perhaps it is you who should work on reading comprehension.

I notice you didn't point out in the article where it said that they decided to save time by only singing the national anthem on special occasions. I guess you've conceded that you got that wrong.

“A quick investigation we did ... found that because they have a daily assembly at the school every morning, the principal came up with the idea - without getting the full board's endorsement - she didn't want to perform the anthem every morning,” Mr Trad said.

Do your own reading! k?

we VERY rarely hear the national anthem at my catholic school... in fact, im not sure when it was last played.

noo the catholics are gonna take over!!!

Hahaha
well at my school which is Anglican we only sing it once or twice a term at the formal assemblies.

I must say it is a bit of a "touchy" thing for a muslim school to do considering all the controversy that surrounds muslim schools in Australia (I live near Camden and believe me it's not the most popular topic)

In my 6 years of high school (private Catholic) I don't recall ever singing the national anthem.

Primary school? Sure, every day. But not high school. So I think you're being a bit silly by saying that "not singing it every day" equals "banning it".

They should ban muslims from wearing scarves, the same way that the Netherlands has.
When Muslims wear headscarves, the hijab or burqa you cannot tell if they are a woman or a man. An terrorist could readily use this cloth of gender camouflage to its advantage by hiding their weapons underneath it.
