Muslim Infiltration into Christian Schools


by Douglas V. Gibbs

In France, Muslims have infiltrated the Christian schools, and are requiring them to act Muslim.

Muslim enrollment is increasing in Christian schools around the world, but especially in Europe. France, in 2008, banned the hijab in state-run classes, so Muslims are deciding to enroll in Catholic schools, which are not bound by the anti-hijab law and must accept students of all faiths to qualify for subsidies (hence the danger of allowing the government to subsidize private entities). As the Muslim population rises in these schools, the Muslims are demanding concessions, to the point of demanding that the Christian schools get rid of their Christian symbols and traditions.

In one school, a report describes how a school administrator set up a crib for Advent, but a Muslim parent demanded its removal, saying that "a Muslim cannot hear that Jesus is the Son of God."

At another school, when a school administrator offered Muslim students a temporary room for prayer so that they could come in from the rain, the Muslim students turned it into a permanent prayer room, even inviting other people who have nothing to do with the school, to pray with them. Since then the director has been unable to use the space for other activities.

Some Christian schools have encountered students refusing to swim during Ramadan due to fear of swallowing water.

At one Catholic School, the school's headmaster had to "put his foot down when students asked to remove the crucifix in a classroom they wanted for communal prayers during Ramadan."

Elsewhere in Europe, the trend is present. Two Amsterdam secondary schools with a Christian basis are being told they must close during [Eid al-Fitr] to accede to their Muslim pupils. A Dutch Catholic elementary school with a handful of Muslims was planning to serve halal food at a Christmas meal, but officials reversed course following parental outrage. In the UK, bishops have recommended that Catholic schools include prayer rooms and washing facilities for Muslims. The Times of London has also noted that at least one Muslim-heavy Church of England school "no longer observes the requirement to have an act of daily collective worship that is consistently and recognizably Christian, due to Muslim pressures.
