#1 Good, the Arab Christian voice will carry more weight than the American Christian voice in this matter. They're not as likely to be automatically labled as racists, for one thing, and they are speaking from experience for another. Keep it up folks, we need your voice, we need this debate.

#2 And so the teacher will face administrative discipline, just as a christian-promoting teacher would?
Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

#3 The teacher at Royal Oak Intermediate School in Covina, Calif., wrote parents of students in his world history class, saying he wanted to take advantage of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan âto promote a greater understanding and empathy towards the Muslim religion.â

About 450 of the protestors were Coptic Christian immigrants from Muslim-majority Egypt, whose families had suffered discrimination and persecution because of their faith...

Just another instance of idiot teachers and their stupid little agendas.

#4 No doubt they get an earful about how evil the U.S. and Israel is from this a-hole on a daily basis. Good job by the Egyptians to do something about this. But I wonder how many of these leftist whacks get away with this, without anyone raising any flags?

#5 This is good! Its good that some people who have actual experience living under Islamic law stood up and used their 1st admendment rights.

You think these Egyptians would be invited in to give a 1st hand account? Didn't think so. I'm sure CAIR will be welcome with open arms.....

Someone should, however audit this teacher's class to see what other B-S he is spreading.

#6 Ironically, Christianity has a long tradition in the ME.

#7 Shipman. If I am not mistaken, Christianity was born in the ME.

#8 Let's see: Christianity derived from Judeasm, the teachings of the Jews handed down from the time of Moses to the present. Jesus, himself, was a Jew, dedicated in the temple in Jerusalem. He was born in Bethlehem, not far from Jerusalem. He grew up in Nazareth, between Jerusalem and Haifa. He preached on the banks of the Sea of Gallilea, was baptised in the Jordan River, and was crucified in Jerusalem.

The first Christian churches were founded in Jerusalem. Paul (formerly Saul, a Pharasee) preached extensively all over Judea and Israel before being taken to Rome and murdered.

Yeah, I guess Christianity has a pretty good claim to a long tradition in the Middle East!

#10 Jesus, himself, was a Jew,

OP are you sure? I always thought Jesus was a white man. ;)

#11 Perhaps said teacher should be required to take some Christian sensitivity training?
