No, but I think you get into this grey area of offensive behavior on the part of some religions and thats the entire issue... for example I would say most parents would not want their kids listening to some sort of white supremicist "prayer" (if one existed)... I think we can agree on that. Well, Muslims have their own issues and I for one find a prayer to Allah almost as offensive as a prayer to a white supremicist... I have heard of the "honor killings" in that society, medical procedures such as virginity checks, etc. it is troubling to me, I wouldn't want my kids exposed to it, any more than someone wouldn't want their kids exposed to a white supremicist. Now, there are some very nice white supremicists in the world perhaps, and very nice muslims mind you, and I am unfairly characterizing all with some negative stereotypes I realize - but I maintain thats ok. I suspect if some case came up about someone praying to Allah in a public high school, you'd see an end to it pretty promptly and for good reason, imo.
