The future for the US looks very scary. Who in their right mind ever thought to sing the battle cry of the people we are at war with? Oh wait, it was school administrators so it makes sense.

I'm sure they did a christmas and hannukah song too. All that translates to is "God is great." Stop being so offended/scared by everything.

The concert took place Thursday at Blaine High School and featured a song with Arabic words, including the phrase “Allahu Akbar,” which means “God is great.” Christian and Jewish songs were performed as well, but no one seemed to have a problem with that.




Yeah, maybe because Christians and Jews aren't terrorists

Alluha Akbar was a great man and admiral. I see no problem singing his praise regardless of the occasion.

I read on Joe the Plumber's website that Obama ordered this.

Isn't Minnesota a breeding ground of Muslims?

I would not have participated in that performance. I'm not singing a song from a group of people that want shariah law and behead folks for not being Muslim

What I don't get is why it would be mentioned at all. Ramadan isn't exactly a winter holiday.

We did this in elementary school one year, I still know the words or most of them 50+ years later.

We are at war with ISIS, not Islam.

I'm pretty peeved that Satanists weren't honored during this program with a Morbid Angel selection.

Anyone drawing parallels between modern Judaism and Christianity and Modern Islam (which is to say 10th century Islam) is a Moron.

Can't leave Christmas and Hanukkah alone. They have to impose their Muslim bent on it.

You think they get to sing Christmas songs in Muslim countries?

Have you even read the Koran? How could you know what it says if you haven't?

i mean, i understand trying to get along with your fellow man and all, but why are we forcing another religion upon the celebration of another religion's messiah/figure head?

do we force them to sing "Amazing Grace" at Ramadan? there'd be another fricking hundred beheadings if that shite happened....

wouldn't the appropriate gesture from Muslims be to tolerate the celebration unmolested and infringed upon? not everything has to be mixed with every belief and background, especially when two TOTALLY different beliefs/truth claims are involved...
