Religion of Peace update: School cancels Christmas in favour of Muslim Eid celebrations

More dhimmitude from the Brits. From here on out, I refuse to call them “Great” Britain. al-Britain sounds more like it.

Greenwood Junior School sent out a letter to parents saying the three day festival of Eid al-Adha, which takes place between 8-11 December, meant that Muslim children would be off school.

That meant planning for a traditional pantomime were shelved because the school felt it would be too difficult to run both celebrations side by side.

The move has left parents furious.

Janette Lynch, whose seven-year-old son Keanu attends the school, in Sneinton, Nottingham, said: “The head has a whole year to plan for Eid and so she should be able to plan for both religious festivals.

“I have never heard of this at a school. It is the first year my son has been there and a lot of the mums like me were really looking forward to seeing the children on stage.”

She said a letter, sent from “The staff at Greenwood Junior School’, said: “It is with much regret that we have had to cancel this year’s Christmas performances. This is due to the Eid celebrations that take place next week and its effect on our performers.”

Following outrage from parents, the school was forced to send out a second letter saying that the Christmas play would be done in January.

Sent by the head teacher, Amber Latif, and Yvonne Wright, chair of governors, it apologised for “any misunderstanding” but said it had to respect “the cultures and religions of all the children”.

It added: “The Christmas performance has not been cancelled outright but has been postponed until the New Year.”

So much for live and let live. It’s “too difficult” to allow Islam and Christianity to co-exist in the school. So move over Christians, now there’s something meatier.

Once again, “respect for all cultures and religions” is a polite euphemism for “all cultures and religions must bow to the will of Islam.” Never mind what the culture and traditions of the country are, there are some folks all too eager to relinquish both when the ROP comes a-calling.
