Islamic Pre-school opens in Sweden

[The Liberated Territories]

Suddenly it's fascist to critique Islam. Oh noes I made a joke about ze "religion" of peace. Somebody chop off my head already.

I wouldn't really call that joke a critique more like a gag.

No more than Charlie Hebdo cartoons are gags. Gags people can die over. Because there is always this one group of fundies (fun dies) that get upset.

The hidden meaning behind the joke is of course the absurdity of having a religious preschool. Like what the fuck do they teach 4 year olds there anyway? What do 4 year olds get about highly sectarian religions like Islam and Christianity whose institutions create hatred and violence? Jesus coloring books? It's propaganda at best.

[Crockerland]

What exactly is an Islamic preschool? Is it teaching the Quran and Hadith, or is it just that the dress code and rules are Islam-influenced?

Telling young children they should force polythemists to pay a faith tax under threat of death (Quran 9:5) doesn't seem like a good idea to me personally, but it's Sweden's decision; I don't see anything wrong with this specifically, and if everyone in the town is fine with it, then it's not my concern.

Wait do you mean polytheists?

I can't seem to find a definition for the bolded.

Typo of Polytheists.

[Cyrothica]

if you're against islamic pre-schools i hope you're against all religious pre-schools, otherwise you're either 1) inconsistent 2) a bit too mid-20th century

I'm not but they also shouldn't be a public school either. Besides, with the burning of nine refugee centers in Sweden, I doubt this school will survive the school year.

[Havenburgh]

Personally, I am against any religious things. Although, it is a private school and they are there to teach good things, not try to raise them as terrorists. So I cant anything. They have a right to start a private school, and we dont have a right to say no because we dont like their religions.

So like it, no. Accept it, yes.

What?

I dont like religion at all. I dont like this religious school. But I have no right to not allow this school, so I accept it

I don't like faith-based education in general, but if Christians can do it, why not Muslims?

Yeah, basically my thoughts.

[The Great Filipino Empire]

Well as long as they don't preach radical islamisism

all of islam is radical.

[Val Halla]

Cuz Muzlimz are evul terrorists, obviously. Even at 3 years old. Duh.

[Cyrothica]

Cause with the recent hassle, and islamophobia

[Wallenburg]

Because there is enough religious schools as it is (and they are all bad, so don't start calling bias) and that we don't need more, and especially not from such a young age?

[Ifreann]

I'd put money on it that Sweden has Christian preschools already. Given that I've never heard of Skode before, I imagine that this isn't even the first Islamic preschool in Sweden - there's probably one in the capital already, don't you think? Plus it's private, so it's not like it's rceiving any government funds.

So no, this isn't a big deal. If you're going to make a fuss about one Abrahamic religion but not another in a modern secular democracy like Sweden, your biases are showing.

Almost all schools in Ireland, something like over 90%, are owned by the Catholic Church. These are public schools which are allowed to operate with a Catholic ethos and to give preference to Catholic applicants if they have more applicants than places.

But one Muslim pre-school in Sweden, holy fucking shit guys.

I would much rather one Muslim, one Christian and one Jewish school than 3 Christian ones

Wow I don't think it's necessarily fascist as some would say, and not sure why religion is in quotes.

I don't see why people are leaping on TLT for making an innocent joke about Mohammed.

Oh no, a Danish cartoonist drew an Arabian pedophile, off with his head!

[Transoxthraxia]

Well, that's too bad.

Even in Northern Ireland? I have a hard time believing that for some reason...

[Rangila]

How stupid.

That was a joke about Mohammed?

TLT's remarks? Well, seeing as he was satirizing the fact that you can't draw Mohammed, yes, I'd say so.

[Wallenburg]

Oh, I see what's wrong. I didn't dig up the quote chain.

I wouldn't know about the North, I was referring to the Republic. Generally people are when they just say "Ireland".

I don't see people leaping on TLT for making a joke about Mohammed at all, so...

[Kauthar]

We should also teach them how to make bombs and behead non-believers. Oh wait, that will be what they'll taught.

[Havenburgh]
