Muslims Refuse To Allow Their Kids To Recite National Anthem Because Its Offensive According to recent reports, an Islamic activist group called Hizb-ut-Tahrir is campaigning against Australia because they believe the country is enforcing democratic values and a disputed view of history. Requiring schoolchildren to sing the national anthem, and the citizenship pledge supporting democratic values, are part of an oppressive campaign by Australian authorities of forced assimilation of the Muslim community, the group commented. One could argue that if any culture knows a thing or two about forced assimilation it would be Islam. That this supposed oppression is due to an exaggerated fear of a security threat, Unthman Badar, a Hizb-ut-Tahrir spokesman continued. It is important to note that there have been documented events of world-wide terrorism inflicted by Muslims in the name of Islam. What they are describing as an exaggerated fear has very much become a reality. Further, it is assumes that when someone enters a nation for asylum, they do so with the understanding that they will comply with the principles or laws of that country. What do you think of this lawsuit? Is it absolutely ridiculous?
