Minneapolis High School Sings "Allahu Akbar" at Holiday Concert
Friends, I hate to say it but we are in the minority.
Last night at a public high school in a Minneapolis suburb a Muslim song praising Allah was sung at the Holiday Concert. Was anyone offended? Just a few....
"Thank you Allah for this blessed day. All over the world, under the big blue sky, Muslims unite to worship Allah." (Words from song)
Some parents in the Anoka-Hennepin School District are questioning a choir teacher’s decision to use a song about Ramadan performed in Arabic at a holiday concert.
At Thursday night’s concert at Blaine High School, one of the songs students will be singing includes Arabic words, including the phrase “Allahu Akbar,” which means “God is great.”
Christian and Jewish songs will be performed as well, but the Ramadan song is getting all the attention.
One person posted, “No child should be forced to sing a song about the Muslims and the religion of hatred.”
Another parent, who didn’t want to be identified, told WCCO phone that considering the recent events in Paris and San Bernardino, singing a song about Allah would be “insensitive.”
The Anoka- Hennepin School District said they have received about a dozen complaints about the song. Some are from parents, some are from people not even affiliated with the school.
In a statement, the district said that they have students from many different backgrounds and cultures, and they promote equal opportunities for all students.
“Songs are not performed in a worship setting or to promote religion,” the district’s statement said. “but rather in [an] educational setting where students are learning and performing music.”
A spokesman for the district said the Arabic song will be sung during an audience participation portion of the concert.

As one of my buddies pointed out, if the only issue is fairness, which the liberal mind is totally hinged to, then this makes perfect sense!
One song for Jesus, one song for Jews, one song for Muslims, one song for Kwanza, one song for Lord Maitraya, one song for Buddists, one song for Hindus, one song for Mother Earth naturalists and one song for the dark lord, Lucifer! Happy holidays everyone!! Now go worship the real god of The Season...MAMMON!!
It seems that as of this writing, only about 12 parents with kids in the choir have complained.
Why? Because this once Christian nation has now become Biblical and historically illiterate and has fallen into the sinking sand.
Sing with me now, "On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand, all other ground is sinking sand."
"Oh wow Dennis, that is REALLY a hateful and intolerant song! No wonder our church of The Feel Good Gospel of Chino Hills never sings that song anymore. It's been stricken from our hymnal!"
Sing with me now, "Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war, with the cross of Jesus now and ever more."
"OH-my-Goodness! Did Donald Trump write that crusader song to make Muslims feel bad? We would never allow that song into our church, the Tolerance House of Hope in Saginaw."
Sigh.....

I heard the same thing was done in some Canadian schools, it's absolutely crazy the world we live. Sad part it's all a planned destruction of the west but as long as people have their beer and football they will stay asleep. God Bless, Merry Christmas and keep up the good work!
Thanks Derek. Yes it would appear that sports has become the God of America as we invest billions in stadiums and spend billions of hours hypnotized in front of our TV's. Of course you know that Rome was doing the exact same thing before she collapsed...building stadiums in every city for the gladiators, hoping that the masses would watch sports instead of understanding what was going on around them.
What started as a celebration of Jesus birth has now been made into a commercial mockery and MOST Americans don't even know what the reason for the season is anymore! It would seem that the great apostasy spoken of in the bible is upon us.
Merry Christmas to you. Our blessed hope is that Jesus comes for us soon. Come Lord Jesus!
