Kids told to write 'Allah is God' UK Sun ^ \| August 06, 2007 thesun.co.uk ANGRY parents have blasted a teacher for telling ten-year-olds to copy a Muslim prayer saying “There is no God but Allah”. Helen Green is said to have picked the Muslim call to prayer as HAND-WRITING practice. It includes the lines “Allah is the greatest” and “I bear witness that there is no God but Allah”. Pupil Billy Darbyshire’s stepmum Hayley Clayton said: “The explanation was that the children were learning about Islam in RE. “But this was like he was taking an oath. A Muslim child would never be asked to write a Bible passage. “Why didn’t she choose a passage from a normal story book to teach handwriting?” Hayley, 23, said Mrs Green — deputy head of Newlands Primary School in Wakefield, West Yorks — had acknowledged it was a “sensitive issue” because three of the 7/7 suicide bombers came from Leeds, 15 miles away. She added: “If it’s sensitive why choose that prayer?” Billy’s angry dad Martin, 32, said there were no Muslims in the ten-year-old’s class.
