why should Muslims demand for a mosque inside a school? Is the school an Islamic learning centre? if Muslims demand for mosques inside secondary schools, christians should also demand for Church inside all government schools, so also shrines for Ifa worshipers, Amadioha worshipers and others.

The Irony is that in the 80's i attended a federal government school in Sokoto, and non of theses issues ever came up. There were no churches, Mosques or shrines in the school. Every went to worship outside the school. All the churches then was on Ahmadu Bello Way, which was at the centre of town. There was so much religious harmony in the school then.

Muslims promote far more violence than any other religion, in fact i can say no and i mean no Muslim dominated country is without violence, with the exception of a few moderate Islamic states like U.A.E, Qatar and Bahrain.

Is there church in the same school? Yes, but you don't want mosque to be there yet it's a government school. I can also bet there more more churches, Catholic and Pentecoastal but it's a crime for mosque to bs built on such a ground. You guys are bunch of selfish intolerant mofos.

I can say no Christian dominated country is without violence. Just within October to November, three christian terrorists named Ian Long, Robert Bowers and Cesar Sayoc killed people in the USA. I guess it shouldn't be talked about since they are christians

I wonder why some of us find it very difficult to tolerate each other belief in this nation.

HausaFulanis Muslims have finally captured the brains of Yorubas who are Muslims and got them radicalised via MURIC.

Yorubaland is going down the way of DanFodio Jihad. It's Pathetic.

Dumb flaaathead, Muslim kids are allowed to wear hijab in UK public schools, I challenge your generation to dispute this fact. Muslim women are allowed to wear hijab in the police forces of the UK, Canada, US, Australia and many more. But bigoted Nigerians won't allow it, a country with 100 million Muslims. You people are very stupid, suicide bombers wear suits (I can show a video of an afghan Taliban bomber who blew up a police station in a 2-piece suit), shorts and shirts, and many other clothing- so according to your dumb analogy, we should ban these clothes? Do you even have sense at all?

A capital YES! The same way wearing mini skirt and torn jeans is banned in many public and private schools despite the freedom of religion, movement and association enshrined in our constitution. An institution should be free to determine its dress code.

why not wonder why people cannot practice their beliefs in the privacy of their homes and offices and feel the need to impose their believes forcefully on others.

How would they show so much hate for Muslims and islam without even inking about it

Somebody abuses prophet. The best man ever have in the history of the world. There is no relationship between the prophet and the protests. Did you think this abusing and saying bad words will end up the problems? Muslim are protesting over the right of their children. That's all.

Remember, they didn't cursed Jesus and i know they won't do that. Stop abusing HIM my friend. Let the matter to be table down for profer understanding.

Why the "HIJAB"? why did Christian fear HIJAB? What did the HIJAB means to you? And why are you fighting over it?

Muslim are not disturbing the peace let alone, the Christian but, the only little understanding that peeped within them. Allow them to wear HIJAB and let Christian continue walking in their half naked dress that best suited them.

wirinet:

So you mean schools should not be allowed to mandate uniforms for its students and everyone should be allowed to dress as they like, according to their religious or social beliefs?
Should that apply to schools alone or also all other private or governmental institutions like NYSC, Military, Customs, Police, immigration, etc?

Yes, as military and paramilitary of other secular western countries permit it.

I beg to differ but No it is Not. I don't see the connection between what one wears on the outward and peace and moral decency as you have put it. I don't even get the protest. ISI is a private school. The school board has every right to enforce the laws it set forth as it deems fit.
Were those Muslim parents not aware that these were the rules before they sought to enrol their precious little peaceful hijab wearing children there? Did ISI co-opt anyone of them by force? Really this is exactly why we will never ever progress as a country. We leave the real issues and focus on the non issues. Will a bunch of Christian parents go to enrol their kids in a private school that disallows wearing of rosaries or Christian robes, only for those Parents to start protesting later? Have you heard about it anywhere in this country? No one has said don't wear Hijab, just don't wear it to school? Is that too much to ask?
My take on this is that it is an organised ploy by Muslims. But I really don't know what they seek to prove, honestly I don't. Because when we start going down this path be rest assured it will only bring out the worst from all involved. Let sleeping dogs lie. The main purpose of any institution is to gain knowledge not a parade ground for religious values. You have your home or your religious centres for that.

OhiOfIhima:
Hijab is for peace and moral decency. If you have problem with it, it mean you are abusing the Child right.

So because a Taliban bomber bombed with a suit, we should ban suits? Guy, you're not okay, did you even know that Taliban stock up a video camera, disguised themselves as journalist to kill Ahmad Massoud, so cameras should be banned according to your logic?

If your argument is for removing all religious buildings from public schools and even public institutions, you will have a point, but arguing for adding more religious edifices to our already tense religious school environment does not make sense.

I can say no Christian dominated country is without violence. Just within October to November, three christian terrorists named Ian Long, Robert Bowers and Cesar Sayoc killed people in the USA. I guess it shouldn't be talked about since they are christians

So because three deranged people carried out mass murders make the USA comparable to Syria, Afganistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Kenya, Northern Nigeria,Egypt and almost all Muslim dominated countries?

Did the three Americans that carried out terrorist attack say they did it in the name of Jesus? Did they say it was for religious reasons?

All the Muslim terrorists without exception kill in the name of Allah.

Ccagoke:
Only the goalkeeper of the Algerian female national team put on the hijab last weekend in a televised AFCON football match and this is an Islamic country. What the hell is wrong with my people in Ibadan? Will hijab assist the pupils to pass their exams?

Does that stop the fact that Hijab is mandatory for the Muslim female folks? Europe and The Americas are the background of Christianity can you judge Christianity based on the current conduct of the Europeans and Americans? Stop the hypocrisy!!!!

Is ISI a govt school? Why are Muslim parents protesting over how a "Private" school chooses to enforce its own laws? What exactly is there to be gained? Equality? Moral Decency? What exactly? Should not the first purpose of every school be to impart knowledge? Are schools now the battleground for religion? I honestly don't understand this two facedness from you folks. And I guess I never will because it smells of mischief. And this is exactly why Nigeria won't realise it's full potential because we as a country, or atleast the majority of us, can't seem to call a spade exactly what it is.

ollah2:




Keep quiet and quit writing like an illiterate that you are. The school was built by missionaries donkey years ago, are the missionaries still managing the school? Isn't it tax payer's money the government use in maintaining the school? Aren't Muslims also tax payers?

The school is now a government property and the Muslims have every right to demand for the mosque. While writing this lengthy bigoted comment, you didn't include the part that christian songs are sang on the assembly ground, students are enforced to learn those songs and other christian activities. But this is fine since it fits your narrative and Christianity isn't devlish and selfish

Isn't it supposed to be a Government school?
Isn't a Government school supposed to be fair to all religions in the land and yes(traditionalists too)?

Shove your hatred down your dirty as.shole.

Incase you don't know, Christianity is the weapon because it promote violence and terrorism

Clap for yourself bro.

That confirms how peaceful your religion is, detaching a fellow human head from the body in no time. Because he abused someone who is dead and rotten six feet under.

Senseless and irrelevant argument. The argument here is the right of Muslims to wear religious clothing in a secular school contrary to the laid down school uniform. We are not talking about a total Hijab or Burka ban. i am saying there are schools that allows Hijab or Burka as part of their school uniform, and any parents that feels Hijab is the most important thing to his or child's education should enroll the child there.

You always give us this excuse when Christians are involved but switch code when discussing Muslims. Stop the hypocrisy!!!!

sake of say ur religion no get dress code no mean say u no go respect another person own....

Ilorin is not a tolerant city sorry. U can barely buy land in some areas there unless you are a Muslim. However Ibadan will not be the HQ of religious extremism, it will be places like Iwo and Ede. And it is already taking shape anyway.

omoelerin1:
I always say this: if there is going to be extremists, boko haram and almajiri in Yoruba land, It is going to start in Ibadan. That city will be the headquarters of religious extremism in Yoruba land. Despite that Islam is strong among the Ijebu people and Yoruba of Lagos, religious tension is absent. Even Muslim dominated city of Ilorin is moderate and tolerant.

Muslims are permitted to wear Hijab in schools if the school authorities permit it , as there are no laws banning the use of Hijab in the UK. But the government will not tolerate a protest by few Muslim students because the school authorities ban the use of Hijab.

I do not know of which Military or paramilitary institutions that permit the wearing of Hijab in the UK, so educate me.

It's not irrelevant, you're the one who's speaking against hijab because some bastard elements use it for evil. I then gave example of how this same elements use western clothing to commit this same evil and you're now whining. Being secular doesn't mean you shouldn't allow people to practice their religion and hijab has nothing to do with you, so stop opening eye for what doesn't concern you. There are public schools all over the west that allow hijab, the US and some other countries allow Niqab for Muslims. Sikhs are allowed to wear their turbans and hold daggers for self defense in secular nations, why can't Nigerians tolerate one another?

In those same secular schools while growing up we were nurtured with Christian beliefs like the Lord's prayer, the grace and a host of others now wearing of Hijab should be confined to Islamic schools but that recommendation wasn't given when the Christians were stylishly forcing their belief on us under the guise of education. I now your fear you have been feasting on the ignorance of the Muslim kids as regards their religion all along in the south and you are afraid that measures like wearing Hijab will bring consciousness to these Kids. Please take heart.

Mumu, Christians during the era of crusaders shouted "Dieu Vult" meaning "God wills it" will they slaughtered and cannibalised Muslims. Plus your Christian brethren in Jos praise god after killing and butchering Muslims, so you're not deceiving anyone.

His actions led to the death of 100,000 people worse than Boko haram.

The school is a Secular School.
It is owned by UI which is owned by the FG.
So, it belongs to all Nigerians. Muslims and Christians have stake in the school.

ISI is not a Christian school.

islandmoon:
I believe there are islamic schools, like Nasfat,Ansar u'deen etc
why cant they just build more islamic schools?
this people just love to scatter things!
they can even build bigger islamic schools!



THE SCHOOL IS NOT ISLAMIC SCHOOL NEITHER IS IT A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!
