Fishers school adjusts holiday program after conservative group protests
Fishers elementary takes mention of Allah out of holiday program after protest from Christian group
By Chris Sikich and Vic Ryckaert
Posted: December 12, 2009FISHERS, Ind. — A Hamilton Southeastern elementary school removed a mention of Allah in its holiday show after it drew the anger of a national conservative Christian group. Lantern Road Elementary Principal Danielle Thompson said school leaders sought to teach inclusiveness through the second-grade program, which included pieces about Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Las Posadas and Kwanzaa.
“It went off last night without a hitch,” Thompson said. “Several families thought it was a nice program.”
School officials removed a phrase saying “Allah is God” after the American Family Association launched a protest of the program on its electronic newsletter.
The change was made, Thompson said, because no other deities were directly named in the program.
But one state Muslim leader said the school’s decision to remove the word Allah was far from inclusive.
“It’s unfortunate if that was removed from the program just because of Islamophobic feelings,” said Shariq Siddiqui, executive director of the Muslim Alliance of Indiana. “Schools are a place where we should learn more about each other rather than exclude each other based on stereotypes and misconceptions.”
Siddiqui said “Allah” is the Arabic word for God and is used by Jews, Christians and others in Arabic-speaking nations.
In the week before the program, the principal said, about 30 people called with concerns — and only four of the complaints came from local families. Thompson said many callers were appeased when they heard the program’s purpose and scope.
Laura Mollo, 26, Peru, called several times over concerns about children saying, “Allah is God,” though she has no connection to the school. She said that as a Christian, she had to protest because she believes it’s wrong to praise another religion’s God.
“I highly doubt all of those children are Muslim, and some of my brothers and sisters of Christ are there.”
Hey Shariq, the misconception excuse is worn out. Islam allows lying, rape, and what non-Muslims would consider murder. Anytime that you want to challenge me on this, just let me know.
Tolerance for civil muslims; No tolerance for uncivil islam/sharia.
It pleases me much to see so many westerners finally waking up and starting to fight back this evil abomination called islam – at long last!
Can we hear a chorus of Muslims singing some Gregorian chants? How about this one: Jesu Redemptor Omnium or even Ave Maria?
Or how about during their Ramadan or any of their EID celebrations that we start DEMANDING that all other religions be allowed to have some sort of religious celebration too?
How any school can allow this is just beyond me. It tells me time and again the liberal left wing are about the stupidest human beings on this earth who should NOT be left to educate our children.
And let us not forget the segregation they are bringing back under the disguise of modesty. IF WE WOKE UP we would know that it is because they think we are dirty as they think their women are dirty too.
The fight for Europe has just started. Soon there will be civil wars all over the continent. It will be a clash of civilisations – ours against theirs. Some smaller countries might succumb to islam in this struggle but Europe as a whole will survive, although in ruins once again. Sooner or later they will have to deal with their neighbours, the countries who become islamic since they will start intifadas against their infidel neighbours eventually. I mean will France and Germany accept having Qassam rockets raining over them from former states as Belgium, Holland, Sweden and Denmark?
Unfortunately you are correct, Muslim immigration is the Trojan Horse.
It seems this comment is missing.

Yes, tolerance for everything but Christianity, this is where the USA is heading. If people do not wake up now and start speaking up and even better yet start pulling their kids out of school to homeschool we will have a bunch of brainwashed kids and soon be under muslim control.
Wake up America!
How about leaving your kids in public school and fight to allow them to wear ISLAM IS OF THE DEVIL T-Shirts? Shake the school districts up! Get people thinking. Fight for free speech about religion IN the schools?
But I also see the homeschool argument – just don't stay at home, in the church, holed up in your little Christian cave. There is a world out there that needs you – needs the truth!

Here’s what the children were assigned to sing:
“Allah is God, we recall at dawn,
Praying ‘til night during Ramadan
At this joyful time we pray happiness for you,
Allah be with you all your life through.”
But when it came time to perform the “Christian” part of Christmas, children were assigned to say:
“I didn’t know there was a little boy at the manger. What child is this?
I’m not sure if there was a little boy or not.
Then why did you paint one on your nativity window?
I just thought if there was a little boy, I’d like to know exactly what he (sic) say.
The second bit is what made me most angry….get the kids to doubt and question the Christian story, rather than just teach them what the beliefs are.
The original "What Child is This?" Carol is clear with the answers:
…This, this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
…Nails, spear, shall pierce Him through,
The Cross be borne, for me, for you.
Hail, hail, the Word made flesh,…
…The King of Kings salvation brings;
Let loving hearts enthrone Him….
William Chatterton Dix, published ca. 1865
Great words!
All Christians should be angry as Christianity is under attack and Islam is being catered to.
