Two schoolboys in Britain were punished for refusing to kneel and pray to Allah.

Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and 'pray to Allah' during a religious education lesson.

Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.

They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent - which included wearing Muslim headgear - was a breach of their human rights.

One parent, Sharon Luinen, said: "This isn't right, it's taking things too far.

"I understand that they have to learn about other religions. I can live with that but it is taking it a step too far to be punished because they wouldn't join in Muslim prayer.

It's amazing, the amount of trouble that is being perpetrated in the name of "diversity."

What's even more amazing is the bravery and clear-headedness of these two schoolboys, who understood that there are some things important enough to require defying authority.

Would your kids do the same if they were asked to pray to someone else's god?

What would you do, under a greater threat?
