TWO Muslim students have been expelled from an Islamic school in Melbourne for urinating and spitting on a Bible and setting it on fire.
:
The Bible desecration took place last week at a school camp held near Bacchus Marsh, about 50km west of Melbourne, attended by 33 teenage Muslim boys ranging in age from Year7 to Year 10.

Mr Doutie said the school had tried to contact the parents of the expelled boys to find out why they had desecrated the Bible. But he said the school had not received a response.

In fairness, the school did take steps to publicly address the incident, but I wonder how much of it was due to fear as opposed to a sense of right and wrong.
The explosive incident has forced the East Preston Islamic College to call in a senior imam to tell its 650 Muslim students that the Bible and Christianity must be respected.
My main question is: where did these boys learn such hatred?

See? Someone asked.
Neither of those sources make blanket statements about a people.
While Europe Slept is a great book. Written by someone who lived there and saw it all rise up. Right to the French riots.
C'mon. Whos stupid enough to run around shouting "all Muslims are evil?" or "all homos have AIDS?" or "all white people are millionaires?"
Dont be stupid. Or self righteous and pompous.
"We regard the desecration of the Bible in a very serious light and therefore we have taken serious action against the offenders.
"The Bible is an important book both for non-Muslims and Muslims and should be treated as a holy book by all religions."
Mr Doutie said he did not believe that the boys realised the significance of their act.

Why would being afraid make them publicise this ? Fear of who ?
I personally don't think anybody had to make anything public as such, just handle the situation by contacting parents, punishing the boys etc ... That's what normally happens when kids misbehave in school.
This really is deplorable behaviour though and I am glad the Principal has takent he actions he has

But the media of course, isn't that where everyone is getting their hatred for each other these days ?

First time in history I agree with you! Even though I am Christian, I really don't care about a few children pissing on a Bible. Israeli children throw rocks and eggs on bypassing Palestinian children on their way to school. That's what I find more disturbing than kids pissing on a Bible.
After all, you don't need a piece of paper and a church to believe.

For fear of offending them.
In the UK people of other ethnic origins(Muslim) have been complaining because we have been putting Christmas trees up in our work places.
On British airway flights your not even aloud to wear a cross anymore, yet Muslims can wear there headscarfs and such.
