Moslem family sues school over Pledge
From Post Tribune
Still don't believe that the very fabric of America is under attack? Read this.
HAMMOND — A father says his children were harassed because they failed to take part in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and the “Star Spangled Banner” at Gavit High School. He has filed a discrimination complaint with the Indiana Civil Rights Commission.
Yusef Ali El, a Moorish-American Moslem, said the Pledge and anthem are contrary to his children’s religion.[...]
“Participating in the Pledge of Allegiance or the ’Star Spangled Banner’ ceremonies would not be honoring the creeds and principles of our forefathers. As Moorish Moslems, our allegiance is to ALLAH...
And people wonder why we are suspicious of Muslims in our armed forces and our Muslim neighbours.
