Urinating on Bible

Boys expelled from Islamic school for urinating on Bible
12:29 PM December 6

The headmaster of a Melbourne Islamic College has condemned the behaviour of two boys expelled for allegedly urinating on a Bible.

The incident is alleged to have happened on a school camp last week.

Teachers at the East Preston College have petitioned the principal telling of their shock and dismay.

Principal Shaheem Doutie says the behaviour of the boys was unacceptable.

"Principal, teachers and the school community hereby condemn in the strongest possible terms the alleged desecration of the Bible by two of our students at a school camp," he said.

Especially in view of Islam accepting quite a lot of the Old Testament and esteeming Jesus as a prophet in his own right. They call Him Isa, I believe.

Well I'm not sure about that UG, but I wanted to post this thread as a response to those who claim that the Islamic community doesn't try to censure or condemn unacceptable behaviour.

I think that although the boys have disgraced themselves, their community is doing the right thing by them.

The headmaster of a Melbourne Islamic College has condemned the behaviour of two boys expelled for allegedly urinating on a Bible.....

Teachers at Principal Shaheem Doutie says the behaviour of the boys was unacceptable......

"Principal, teachers and the school community hereby condemn in the strongest possible terms the alleged desecration of the Bible by two of our students at a school camp," he said.

However, he fell short of calling for a Crusade against the Moslem hordes or of demanding the immediate excommunication and crucification of the pupils involved.

Melbourne police have confirmed that no Islamic mosques or embasssies have been attacked/burned to the ground/staff slaughtered as a result of this incident.

mmmm....... hey, you guys with the towels..... you wanna take notes on this?

Maybe people are starting to realize that that sort of shit needs to stop.

I could have been much worse. They could have put their hand on that Bible and promised to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth - while wearing the mask of our president. Now that would be insulting.

Do you mean Newsweek's story on Gitmo in which it was alleged that there was urinating on Korans, which was then proved to be untrue?

Great. Let's use a single unverified anecdote to refute systematic Islamic fundamentalist intolerance.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the effort. But let's get real here.

You're right, this does't 'prove' that Muslims are tolerant and understanding, but we should be encouraging any good behavior that emerges no matter how isolated. We should be holding this up not to the west as an example of the current behavioral trend, but to the Islamic world as an example of how some of their brethren have managed to shake off their old prejudices and integrated more into modern society.
