Muslim students get help juggling school and faith

On Friday afternoons, Nathan Hale High School senior Abdisiyad Adan asks his fifth-period teacher what he'll miss in class, writes down the homework for the weekend and leaves school.

Other Muslim students at Nathan Hale pile into Adan's car, and they set off for the Idriss Mosque a little more than a mile away. By the time they return from their mandatory Friday prayers, the school day is nearly over.

At Garfield High School, an empty classroom is provided for Muslims to pray during lunch periods, Principal Ted Howard said. Students who don't want to miss lunch can have an extra 10 minutes to pray after the lunch period provided their teachers sign off on it. On Fridays, Muslims are allowed to go to a nearby mosque.

On this topic, I am very interested in MTJ's opinion. We know what the white male thinks...better muslim than dead. We know what the wave station libs think...all religion is bad except ours. But, what does the one respectable lib think?

What it proves is that diversity equals weakness.

When Europe becomes majority Muslim they will never get involved in wars in the Middle East. The same thing would happen here in the US.

Are you saying the new orleans chocolate is going bad? Well, you know, Russ, I bet they are just white suburban teenagers running around playing a real-life version of grand theft auto: new orleans.

Gosh, you would think the outlaws would have obeyed the law and given up their guns too. Oh, wait. Governments only confiscate guns from the decent folk. I think if I lived in NOLA, I'd go to www.AR-15.com and see how much I could get overnighted UPS.

Capacity planning by the enemy within. Burn in hell, libs in the state department.

How can 8 people be charged with murder in the death of one? How would MTJ's answer change if they were all black?
