What’s the matter, aren’t there too many Muslims in Denmark already? Have they forgotten the deadly riots Muslim waged over the Danish Muhammad cartoons? Whomever thought this up should be charged with child abuse. Sheeeeesh!
Islam in Europe 28 students from the 8th and 9th grades of the Regnbueskolen high-school in the Aarhus suburb of Hammel visited the London Central Mosque as part of their London trip.“It was a great experience! It was experiencing the religion from within, gave us insight into Islam in a totally different way than we had imagined. We think everybody should try it, especially those who are repulsed by other religions, since it was an experience we’ll never forget. To visit the mosque made us understand that people can easily live side by side while respecting each other, but without the same faith and beliefs,” write two of the students, Kristine Frandsen and Alma Fjeldsted.

The students then visited the mosque’s museum, where they were shown the similarities (HAH!) between Christianity and Islam. In the museum the imam offered the girls and female teachers to visit the ladies balcony. A friendly young Muslim woman then showed up to answer their questions on gender equality (WHAT gender equality?), Denmark’s headscarf debate, and the conditions, marriage and dress of Muslim women.
