Utah educator takes students to visit local mosque

A group of students met at Khadeeja Islamic Center Friday to learn more about the Islamic community in the Beehive State on the eve of the 20th anniversary of the September 11th attacks.
Friday is a day of congregational prayer for the Islamic community. Muslims read words from the Quran in Arabic -- it sounds like a song.
It’s not Grant Beckwith’s first time in a mosque, but it was a first for the group of 15 or so students he brought.
“We wanted our students to come and connect here and feel a part of this Muslim community because we’re all connected,” said Beckwith.

Why is this news? Do we not have freedom of religion? No different than taking students to Living Aquarium

[@harrylongabaugh7402]

Why? Teachers should be teaching reading, writing and arithmetic and should leave the rest up to the parents.

Do you say the same thing when they take students to temple square or the pioneer museum? ...and yes, I’m Christian.

Muslims invented Universities. So guess where all these subjects are coming from

[@blue_6887]

Why? There’s nothing to learn there.

[@willissudweeks1050]

THIS LAND IS LDS LAND

[@harrylongabaugh7402]

Actually, Utah was set up and settled by Mormons as a safe haven for anyone that was being persecuted. Soon after the Mormons settled here there were people of many faiths that settled here. The only qualification was that anyone that wanted to live here had to want to be a good neighbor to everyone else.

[@wingedwarror3657]

@Tremyota Weed; ...and since when do LDS lay claim to my home? This is not YOUR land. I’m sure my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, would have much to say about that.
