Think the same schools will take the muslim kids to a synagogue? A Catholic Church and make them get baptized? How about a lecture by Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins, which in fact really should be part of the curricula.
Neeli Mosque held its annual primary schools week long programme last week - 21 primary schools from across the borough took part.
Each school visit went through some basic fundamental beliefs of Islam in a "fun and interactive way" followed by a tour of the Mosque which highlights some of the key functions and features within the building.
Ruhel Khan, Primary Schools Programme Coordinator said: “The Primary School Programme 2013 was a massive success; this was our sixth year and each year seems to get bigger and better."
The programme took almost six months of planning and the demand for places is getting higher each year with all the allocated slots being taken up several weeks before the start of the programme.
From the launch in 2008 to present, more than 5,000 children have taken part in the Primary Schools Programme.
Mosque Secretary Imran Ahmed said: “The mosque has a responsibility of educating the wider community on Islam especially with the current climate and our Schools Programme is just one of the many initiatives we take..”
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HEARD STUDENTS FROM ISLAMIC SCHOOLS VISITING ANY CHURCH,TEMPLE OR A GURUDWARA?
