ANGRY parents have blasted a teacher for telling ten-year-olds to copy a
Muslim prayer saying “There is no God but Allah”.

Helen Green is said to have picked the Muslim call to prayer as
HAND-WRITING practice.

It includes the lines “Allah is the greatest” and “I bear witness that
there is no God but Allah”.

Pupil Billy Darbyshire’s stepmum Hayley Clayton said: “The explanation
was that the children were learning about Islam in RE.

“But this was like he was taking an oath. A Muslim child would never be
asked to write a Bible passage.

“Why didn’t she choose a passage from a normal story book to teach
handwriting?”

Hayley, 23, said Mrs Green — deputy head of Newlands Primary School in
Wakefield, West Yorks — had acknowledged it was a “sensitive issue”
because three of the 7/7 suicide bombers came from Leeds, 15 miles away.

She added: “If it’s sensitive why choose that prayer?”

Billy’s angry dad Martin, 32, said there were no Muslims in the
ten-year-old’s class. He added: “I am not religious but it offended me.
