JEWISH GIRL KICKED OUT FROM HER SCHOOL FOR CONVERTING TO ISLAM |
JEWISH GIRL KICKED OUT FROM HER SCHOOL FOR CONVERTING TO ISLAM
28 November 2003
An Israeli boarding school has kicked out a female Jewish student for
embracing Islam and wearing hijab.
The students and teachers of the 'Zionist Youth boarding school' came to
their classes to find their 15-year-old Jewish colleague wearing the Muslim
headscarf in a sign that she has converted to Islam, according to the
Israeli daily Maariv newspaper.
The school's headmaster tried in vain to dissuade the student from her
decision and get her taking off hijab and decided to expel her.
The student, who requested anonymity, told the daily that she was offended
by the headmaster's conversation, adding that she was ready to leave the
school which she liked most.
"Religion, as far as I am concerned, is more important than school," she
said.
"I took offence at the headmaster's remarks, not only for myself but for all
Muslims. If a Jewish student in France, for instance, was expelled for
wearing his kippa (Jewish scull cap), the action would be right away
condemned as ''anti-Semitism," she added.
"I understand a student expelled for his/her misbehavior or being dull and
inactive," she said, criticizing the school's decision as "racist that stirs
up feelings of hatred".
She said she was born and brought up in the former Soviet republic
Kazakhstan to a Jewish mother and a Christian father in an atmosphere that
"respects Islam."
"As years went by, I have reached to the conclusion that Islamic values suit
me fine," she said.
"I began to read about Islam four years ago and my teachers started noticing
especially after I had worn a gold necklace bearing the name of Allah in
Arabic," she said, adding that a few days later a copy of the Glorious
Qur'an was found inside my room.
The school's headmaster told Maariv paper that he asked the girl to refrain
from her "provocative practices," noting that he did not mind her back to
school and that he would discuss the matter in its entirety with her family.

I have missed all the discussion that has occurred, but the name of this
thread would/should give pause to everyone. If it is a Jewish school that
she opted out when she reverted--she was not kicked out"!! (Much the same
as students who blame the teacher who failed them because they are not so
bright... They also failed themselves.)
If it is a public school, I can tell you that I often spend long periods of
time in Israel. My daughter-in-law is a teacher and the female Muslim
students DO wear hijab in the school environment. The "boarding" part of
this probably means a whole lot of things or certainly could. As a teacher
I would ask a lot of questions before getting too upset. The first of which
is, "is she acting out" (as children and adolescents are prone to do) to
create a scene? Is her appearance disruptive and intentionally attention
seeking. Secondly, if she has reverted, why would she want to stay if it
was a religiously supported school? If she has become a Muslim, then she
probably would go to those who would support her decision and her new way of
life. ETC.ETC. The circumstances of the whole thing must be considered and
weighed carefully before getting too wound up about it. Norma

A good many measured and well thought out replies, 18 according to my count,
but I refrain from responding to posts from Abu-Ali as he never has the guts or
desire to respond, so what is the point?

I'm all for religious freedom, and if the school kicked her out because she
is now muslim, that is wrong.
But I do question the wisdom of any female who embraces islam. It's kind of
like a man who embraces the sword that cut off his balls...

Nothing wrong with it if it's a private and/or religious school. And
since the school in question is a boarding school, it's most
definitely private and/or religious. AFAIK, even in North America,
most catholic schools, for instance, don't even *accept* non-catholic
students to begin with. I am pretty sure that's the case with most
Islamic schools, esp. private ones.

I have no idea about Israel school laws, but in America a boarding school is
a private school, and private schools can kick anyone out at anytime. For
example, a Catholic boarding school kicked out a child because the mother of
that child was a striper. Public schools cannot do this however. It might
be questionable and unethical, but it is legal.

I can't see anything wrong in having a private school exclusively for
the members of a particular religion, if the school pays its own way.
As long as no one is being forced to attend, their rules are their
business.

JEWISH GIRL KICKED OUT FROM HER SCHOOL FOR CONVERTING TO ISLAM

An Israeli boarding school has kicked out a female Jewish student for
embracing Islam and wearing hijab.

Not if he was attending a private Catholic school; the girl is
described as attending a private Jewish school. In short the
comparison is invalid.
Tell me what would have happened in Saudi Arabia to a girl who
converted to Judaism no matter what school she was in?
They'd probably stone her.
Take out the "probably" and you have the answer. Converting from Islam
to any other religion is a capital offense in Saudi Arabia.

As opposed to, say, that pinnacle of religious tolerance, Saudi
Arabia, where a Muslim student of either gender would be executed for
embracing Judaism?

THEY KICKED HER OUT NOT FOR HER RELIGIOUS BELIEFS BUT BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT
ISLAM IS A CULT OF TERROR HATE EVIL AND DESTRUCTION. ITS CERTAINLY NOT FOR
A JEWISH GIRL.

If the Arabs put down their weapons today, there would be no more violence.
If the Jews put down their weapons today, there would be no more Israel.

JEWISH GIRL KICKED OUT FROM HER SCHOOL FOR CONVERTING TO ISLAM
28 November 2003
An Israeli boarding school has kicked out a female Jewish student for
embracing Islam and wearing hijab.
The students and teachers of the 'Zionist Youth boarding school' came to
their classes to find their 15-year-old Jewish colleague wearing the
Muslim
headscarf in a sign that she has converted to Islam, according to the
Israeli daily Maariv newspaper.
The school's headmaster tried in vain to dissuade the student from her
decision and get her taking off hijab and decided to expel her.
The student, who requested anonymity, told the daily that she was offended
by the headmaster's conversation, adding that she was ready to leave the
school which she liked most.
"Religion, as far as I am concerned, is more important than school," she
said.
"I took offence at the headmaster's remarks, not only for myself but for
all
Muslims. If a Jewish student in France, for instance, was expelled for
wearing his kippa (Jewish scull cap), the action would be right away
condemned as ''anti-Semitism," she added.
"I understand a student expelled for his/her misbehavior or being dull and
inactive," she said, criticizing the school's decision as "racist that
stirs
up feelings of hatred".
She said she was born and brought up in the former Soviet republic
Kazakhstan to a Jewish mother and a Christian father in an atmosphere that
"respects Islam."
"As years went by, I have reached to the conclusion that Islamic values
suit
me fine," she said.
"I began to read about Islam four years ago and my teachers started
noticing
especially after I had worn a gold necklace bearing the name of Allah in
Arabic," she said, adding that a few days later a copy of the Glorious
Qur'an was found inside my room.
The school's headmaster told Maariv paper that he asked the girl to
refrain
from her "provocative practices," noting that he did not mind her back to
school and that he would discuss the matter in its entirety with her
family.
