Mosqueing of the Public School in Toronto: “Islamic ritual prayers are done in my 13 year old daughter’s middle school on every Friday” Non-Muslims are Forbidden to use cafeteria

23

Here again we see the impostion of Islamic law and practice in the public square, or in this case, the public school. A similar situation exists at the TiZA school in Minnesota. The leading Canadian counter-jihad blog, Blazing Cat Fur, has the story:

Islamic Ritual Prayer Conducted At Toronto District School Board Middle School

I received this e-mail from Mark Harding. I phoned Valley Park Middle School, who in a panic directed me to call the TDSB directly @ 416-397-3000. The TDSB "Communications Dept." is so far incommunicado -they are away at a meeting.
….

Story continues below advertisement

"Islamic ritual prayers are done in my 13 year old daughter's middle school on every Friday.

Every Friday my daughter's school cafeteria changes into a mosque as dozens of Muslim boys and their imams (Islamic preachers) lead Islamic ritual prayers and no one else can even walk through the cafeteria.

Some imams (Islamic preachers) come from the outside of the school and lead Muslim students in the Islamic prayer and this happens at the school Cafeteria after the lunch on Fridays. All other non-Muslims are in classes in the afternoon when they are using the cafeteria as mosque. There is a mosque nearby but the Muslim kids pray in the school

School administration take part preparing the Cafeteria and making it into mosque every Friday and no one but Muslims can use the Cafeteria during the Islamic prayers on Friday.

And there are a number of other incidents involving Islam and other anti-Christian issues that I complained about, including a white convert to Islam who was a supply teacher and who openly promoted Islam and bashed Christianity last year!"

The school's name is: Valley Park Middle School, and the address is:

130 Overlea Boulevard

Don Mills On, M3C 1B2

Phone: 416 396 2465

"Mark, my other two kids also go to a different public primary school and the snack for all the kids in this primary school is all "Halal". My wife complained about it and she was told she can prepare her own snack for our kids but the school would not drop the Halal menu for all the students. All the school kids in this primary school have to eat halal snacks whether they are Muslim or not"

Update: It is confirmed thanks to reader Munimula, the Valley Park Middle School cafeteria is turned into a mosque and a local Imam is brought in to lead the children in worshipping Allah:

"Prayer Service, the school is providing a venue for the Muslim student’s to have prayers at school on Fridays. An Imam from the neighbouring mosque comes to our school and conducts the prayers. Prior to this, students signed out early on Friday afternoons to go to mosque. By staying at school, valuable instructional time is saved for our students."

Fine. This is America with Freedom of Religion.
Get a Jewish Rabbi and a Christian Minister to hold THEIR religious classes on Mondays and Wednesdays. Fair is fair! See “how they like THEM apples!”. Also, have the Jewish parents lobby for a Kosher snack alternative. Give the idiots whatever they want, but DEMAND TIT FOR TAT in exchange. In a FREE exchange of philosophies and ideas, they will lose every time. We’ve been playing the game by THEIR rules. Time to level the playing field.

The reason countries who believe in the Bible are so prosperous is because the true creator is Our God the farther away we go from the truth, we give up our blessings from Deut.28 and we let in the curse and before you know it, our climate, our schools, our politics and out thoughts are compromised and instead of standing on “it is finished and bring heaven to earth with our words we are living under the curse even though we have been bought out of it.
Lord have mercy on us …may we only say what you say and bring heaven down to this Babylonian cursed system. Lord thank you that red words win Amen
Yes Bruce fair is fair!

LOL, Boy are you naive. Do you seriously think this school in Toronto or the Muslims could care less about Jewish or Christian students or the “FREE exchange of philosophies and ideas”? I’ll bet your proposal would fall on deliberately deaf ears at the school in question.

Sharia law was stopped even under a self proclaimed “Socialist” Priemere. It took thousands of letters & real anger to stop the giving into this cult of death.
Islamists can get anything they want it seems. In America you now have companies giving into Islamist
demands. Schools will be the next target.

Not the only one. There is another school in the area called the Thorncliffe Park Public School. They had a radical islamist as the head of the parent council. They were also examining the curriculum to see if it ‘complied with Islamic requirements”.
I tried contacting the school, the trustee, the Director of Education- and was ignored. I finally wrote to the minister and I got some PR hack who brushed me off saying it was ‘reasonable accomodation’.
Now that this story has gone viral, I hope something gets done.
This is from principals blog :
“We have many food allergies and cultural/religious requirements to consider prior to adding foods to our menu. Our nutrition team carefully selects and prepares healthy and culturally sensitive food choices. A binder is kept in the main office with the labels of every manufactured food that is served and letters/emails from the manufacturers regarding it’s contents as well as notifications from religious/cultural groups that have worked with our nutrition team to ensure the foods meet all requirements. If you have questions come in and review the binder. If after reviewing the binder you still have concerns please leave your name and number at the main office and a member of our nutrition team will follow up with your specific concerns.”

Greetings:
I grew up in the Bronx of the ’50s and ’60s and attended Catholic grammar school. Every Tuesday afternoon, the Catholic kids who attended public schools would come to our school for religious instruct from 2pm to 3pm. The loss of “valuable instruction time” which apparently doesn’t include time spent kowtowing to allah-dude wasn’t an issue that I was aware of.

Catholic Schools in Ontario Canada are paid for entirely with tax payer money.

When I was in elementary school in Calif. in 50’s and 60’s, we had “Released Time Christian Education,” when students, with parent permission, were released from class for about 45min., for either Protestant or Catholic classes, as I recall. I don’t know if the Jewish students had an equivalent. My friend from northern Calif. had a similar thing. I just did a search, and the program still exists in the U.S. — http://www.rtce.org. In these times, I’m amazed! but glad it does.

I don’t know of a single one that does that. As a Kosher Jew, if I had the choice between regular food and halal but not Kosher, the Halal would be more acceptable and I’m not just making that up. It is the opinion of our Rabbis. There are actually very few differences and if it’s a kosher species, really none. So, if you would eat Kosher, you can eat Halal as a religious principle.

So were you insane before you became a Muslim? Or was it the price of admission?

My kids attended a Chicago public grammar school. Several years ago, my daughter came home to inform me that her entire 6th grade class would be reciting “There is no God but Allah and Mohammad is his prophet”, in Arabic and English, at an upcoming all-school assembly. The mother of one of the few Muslim students in class had approached the teacher (an ex-nun) and insisted this was only fair because holiday assemblies included Christmas songs.
I fought this, and eventually the school backed down. I had a reporter from one of Chicago’s major papers who was really interested in doing a story on the incident, and that scared the administration.
The amazing part of this is that most of the other non-Muslim parents backed up the plan to recite the shahada. (Most are Catholic.) I asked one mom, “So it would be okay if the kids ALL recited the rosary?” “Oh of COURSE NOT!” (Read the sidebar at http://icefalcon58.blogspot.com/ )
Similar examples can be cited at a lot of public schools here in Chicago and its suburbs. But you know, it’s better to not appear intolerant than to stand up for your principles.

In my day and place, the local synagogue had classes referred to locally as “Hebrew School” that were conducted after the regular school day had finished.

Thank you for posting the contact information. Snail mail letters are probably the most effective, as they probably are required to be logged and saved. That said, it could take a while for a letter from Sweden to reach Canada, and so I emailed the school with a link exposing some of the violence and hatred toward non-Muslims in the Koran. Here ’tis: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Quran/023-violence.htm Be sure and pass it around. Ignorance will be the downfall of the West.

I so agree. These people couldn’t care less about Jewish or Christian students. WTH! Why are so called religious classes being taught/conducted in a public school.

Thank you for this very en lighting report. I am so glad that many more people today are getting involved in pursuing to stop this shameful religious practice from continuing in our public school system. There can be no qualifying reason in Canada to allow this damaging Islamic practice to continue. Our education administration had better make some changes and do it fast, before all hell breaks loose.
People are mad as hell at this and they are not going to take it anymore.
