alchemist Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 No one chooses to grow hair, it happens naturally. What happens if this schools was the most suitable for these boys. Its a faith school, specialist schools (a Sport and Academy school in that area) often do not cater for children with a faith But you can choose to keep or remove it. As said previously, the rules were probably in place and the boys would know it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Nick has waded into the row: Bearded Muslim pupils have right to show 'full faith', says Nick Clegg http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/nick-clegg/10369050/Bearded-Muslim-pupils-have-right-to-show-full-faith-says-Nick-Clegg.html You're absolutely right Nick. However: There is nothing specifically written in the Koran about wearing a beard. It is a choice those boys are making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However: I find it strange that 2 devout muslim lads would want to go to a catholic school. .maybe I'm out of step oh well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 There is nothing specifically written in the Koran about wearing a beard. It is a choice those boys are making. The Qu'ran is only part of Islam though. There are Hadiths that teach the value of growing a beard. However, people pick and choose different hadiths to give validity to. I'm pulled mainly towards the liberal argument of schools staying out of what people choose to do with their hair. It's not their place to control people like that.

gularscute Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 It's ridiculous. Schools should concentrate on educating children and forget all this hysterical over-involvement with their appearance. What example does it set to the kids- how you look is more important than what you learn? How disgracefully shallow and inane. It smacks of power play.
