Plus, I wonder if the 'the values observed by Mohammed' that the children are encouraged to 'emulate' will include murder, rape, extortion, and paedophilia?
From Morocco World News
Spain is aiming to teach Islam Studies
at public schools nationwide starting from the next school year in a bid
to counter extremism.
The aim of the Spanish government is to let the students be exposed to a “moderate” interpretation of the religion.
According to
the Gatestone Institute, the decision is also aimed at stirring
religious fervor and “promoting Islamic identity among young Muslims in
Spain.”
Drafted by the
Islamic Commission of Spain and approved by the Ministry of Education,
the guidelines for teaching Islam in public schools are in accordance
with Article 27.3 of the 1978 Spanish Constitution.
According to
the constitution, “The State guarantees parents the right for their
children to obtain a religious and moral education which conforms to
their own convictions.”
The same
source said that the guidelines for teaching Islam to students in
preschools, primary schools, and secondary schools were approved by the
Ministry of Education and published on March 18 in the Boletin Oficial
del Estado or the official gazette of the state.
“Preschoolers
(ages 3- 6) are to learn the Islamic profession of faith, Islamic
statement of faith “Shahada,” which asserts that “there is no God but
Allah and Mohammed is his messenger.”
The same
source added that the students are also encouraged to “emulate, through
different forms of expression, the values observed by Mohammed.”
In primary
school (ages 6-12), the guidelines call for children to “recognize
Mohammed as the final prophet sent by Allah and accept him as the most
important.”
As students
advance in their religious studies, they will be introduced to a set of
human values including coexistence, diversity, equality, human rights,
inclusion, integration, intercultural education, interreligious
dialogue, moderation, pluralism, religious liberty, respect, and
tolerance.
The real objective of the classes is to prevent kids from being drawn to terrorism.

However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
