    • Funny how you anti-Trumpers are against Moore for dating underage girls, when underage girls are perfectly pro-Muslim.robotron3k
    • what does trump and anti-trump have to do with under age girls? go get some fresh air nutcase.inteliboy
    • Only anti trumps are against dating underage girls? So pro trump supports dating under age girl?pango
    • That's right pango, pro-trump supporters are mostly pedophiles. That's not me saying that, I hear people talk!zarkonite
    • Well yeah look at Hollywood ^ no said.sureshot
    • This is Holland btw and we are disgusted by thissureshot
    • I'm just trying to understand robo's argument. He pretty much just said trump supporters aren't against dating underage girls.pango
    • which doesn't make sense. sure they support trump but they're not all scums.pango
    • yeah that would be fucked up ( aren't against dating underage girls )sureshot
    • don't waste your time boys. Robo isn't coming back to this thread anymore.scruffics
    • "we are disgusted by this" - lolfadein11
    • open-minded... experiencing other cultures... *giggle... uh huh. Next up is singing hymns to Jesus and Bible time... right guize? Or perhaps a yamaka fitting?PonyBoy
    • Isn't it just a school visit to the local mosque? what is wrong with that (apart from it being religious). This was the norm when I was growing up - we went tofadein11
    • every local place of worship. Sikh temple, church, central mosque, synagogue. How this disgusts anyone says more about the disgusted person than anything else.fadein11
    • This is done in Holland fade. Period. But I get your point.sureshot
    • *notsureshot
    • churches/Jehova/Jewi... etc no problem. But no islam.sureshot
    • so this is in a school and the pupils are being forced to pray to mecca?fadein11

    • Police and judges etc arent allowed to wear Hijabs here either.sureshot
    • I wonder how many muslim kids are visiting churches.sureshot
    • I guess you are freer than them.pango
    • ah so its a school visit to a mosque as I said. And if there are muslim children in the class they will go to the church when they do that on Christian week :)fadein11
    • I dunno what freer means, but its the law here. Always been.sureshot
    • This isn't just a single case? they took the kids to a mosque to learn something about Islamic religion?sted
    • Sted: this is the dude who also peaches there, although he wasnt allowed
      https://pbs.twimg.co…
      sureshot
    • Well if he has done anything illegal he needs to be arrested/removed but I would say it's nonsense he was up front preaching to the kids lol. More divisive BSfadein11
    • I am sure The Netherlands has similar strict rules to the UK on what can be preached/promoted in Mosques.fadein11
    • Good for kids to learn about theirs and other religions, so they realise how infantile and overly prescriptive they are and dismiss then when older.detritus
    • https://www.snopes.c…dmay
    • and there we have it - thanks dmay.
      what a load of bullshit which people fall for hook line and sinker.
      fadein11
    • thanks dmay...sted
    • DMAY..dude I am Dutch..dont you think I understand my own language. Its a DUTCH school dudesureshot
    • You prolly forgot I am Dutch and I understand EACH word they are saying.sureshot
    • the endsureshot
    • I can give you the name of the school if you want?sureshot
    • take a step back from the keyboard and stop hyperventilating, sureshot - dmay's link explicitly says it's a Dutch school.detritus
    • I am very calm...I am on my cell that is a device hard to get rid of these days. But the content is NOT CORRECT..anyway enough. Maybe you right detruis.sureshot
    • my apologies Dmaysureshot
    • eh? the snopes article says its Dutch.
      and that it was a school visit to a mosque as I said. Whats the issue?
      fadein11
    • Sorry, didn't see that det had cleared that up. It's just an image being used out of context to stir more trouble up. Nothing to see here.fadein11
    • Learning about different cultures is healthy education and long may it continue.fadein11
    • fucking robo ... underage girls are pro Islam? Are you fucking retarded?monospaced
    • ^^ oh shit..just when I though it was over.sureshot
    • ^sureshot
    • "underage girls are pro Islam?" they might be if they thought bearded sugardaddies would fulfill their Amazon wishlists for them. As might I, to be fair.detritus
    • "underage girls are perfectly pro-Muslim" — robotron, this side threadmonospaced
    • I hear lots of you saying that they're at the Mosque to learn... fair 'nuff... but why the fuck are they in a prayer position? C'mon....PonyBoy
    • ... if they goto visit the local church do they drop to their knees in front of Jesus on a cross to see what it was like? OR HOW 'BOUT A YAMAKA FITTING??! :)PonyBoy
    • Taking the kids to a mosque to witness people of faith in action is fine, to learn bout the religion / 'culture' is fine... but get them praying... ...huh?PonyBoy
    • Get off the fucking ground, kids!! You're not Muslim—cut the shit. Learn and ask Q's etc—but you're not there to participate—else it's hymn time at the church!PonyBoy
    • it would have been a bit of fun I am sure. What do you think a bunch of kids are going to be radicalised in an hour walk round a mosque lol. Come on.fadein11
    • We don't know what was said before or after do we? It's clearly an innocent picture being used for divisive purposes.fadein11
    • It's not about radicalization... if your kid came home and told you today his teachers had him pray to Jesus I'm sure you'd probably feel that a step past...PonyBoy
    • ... 'learning about other cultures'. And let's be clear... Islam is not 'culture'... not in the least fucking it bit... it's a religion.PonyBoy
    • -itPonyBoy
    • + <3 :)PonyBoy
    • It is a fart contest - just like everything else on this site today.SlashPeckham
    • I agree PonyBoy, forcing children to participate in ANY religious activity should be avoided. Including dumbass prayer in government or schools.monospaced
    • and yeah, if my son came home one day and said his teacher had them pray to jesus, I'd fucking lose my shitmonospaced
    • Calm down, it's education, not 'forcing' of some belief system on innocents. Christ, I'm usually on the other side of this debate.detritus
    • How the fuck is Islam not a culture? Islam has a greater foundational structure of culture than most ill-perceived Western 'cultures', in disarray as they are?detritus
    • That's a significant thought for any good-thinking Westerner, as far as I think.detritus
    • (Which is about 2½")detritus
    • That one fell asleep.pango
    • Mono and I agree which is rarer than a girl qbner... all the rest of you can go pray with the flatulence and flagellating kidsPonyBoy
    • What Det said. And of course noone was forced to pray. Like I said I bet it was a bit of fun "this is what we do in here". I actually remember visiting a mosquefadein11
    • with school and it certainly wasn't a serious affair. Religious Education (RE) is still a thing in the UK and as part of that you study religion and often visitfadein11
    • places of worship. I would be willing to bet money on the fact those kids were not forced to pray and it wasn't serious. But yet again a misused photo triggersfadein11
    • some people.fadein11
    • Having said all of that I cannot believe I am defending religion here as like Det I would normally be arguing the opposite way but in this instance because offadein11
    • the misuse of that photo it just seems silly to presume this is a negative event. Christ too early that didn't make sense as I am not defending religion justfadein11
    • pointing out the context. Phew.
      And yes I know it's a Dutch photo but I presume the Netherlands has similar education.
      fadein11
    • I didn't say they were 'forced' to do anything... but they are in 'prayer' position which is the purest form of obeisance in just about any faith to 'God'.PonyBoy
    • I can understand touring the Mosque, learning the history and even reading a bit of the Koran to get a feel for the religion... but the act of dropping to...PonyBoy
    • ... your knees and bonking your nogging to the ground is genuflection... there is zero purpose for it outside of actual worship or mocking...PonyBoy
    • ... I just find it a step too far in terms of 'learning'. Before you know your kid's on a mountain bike in white shirt/black pants discussing Joe Smith. // :)PonyBoy
    • is *a genuflection...
      ... and I'm being a smartass about Joseph Smith... everybody knows he was Jewish.
      PonyBoy
    • I can see your point but as a non religious person I perhaps don't treat the 'act' so seriously. But yes let's agree to disagree. What is isn't though is whatfadein11
    • the right knob jockeys are using the image for.fadein11
