Students Forced to Sing Islamic ‘Fight Song’ Promoting Allah … and Explosions
One teacher thought it would be a good idea to rewrite “This Is My Fight Song” to teach her seventh-grade students about Islam, sparking outrage across the country.
According to a report by KCAL 9, some of the lyrics are as follows:
“Like a sandstorm in the desert, sending camels into motion,
“Like how a single faith can make a heart open,
“They might only have one god,
“But they can make an explosion.”
But parents and grandparents aren’t the only ones upset at the teacher’s song.
“Especially with the recent attacks ISIS has been doing, knowing that this potentially Islamaphobic backlash might come about, what was the teacher’s intention?” asked Ojaala Ahmed with the Council for American Islamic Relations.
