@Cliff-Mashburn saidVisiting the christian church has been part of the elementary school education for my children, there was no püroblem with the Moslem parents.
It was part of their curriculum. If Muslim kids were sent to a Christian church you better believe there'd be hell to pay.

Actually they send their kids to the boy scout group offered by a local church.

@Ponderable saidDid they just visit the church, or did they have to sit through a church service and sermon like the kids at the Mosque?

@Cliff-Mashburn saidIf Muslim kids are not similarly sent to a Christian church as part of their curriculum then it raises some questions.

@Ponderable saidLinkenheim, Germany? Population 12,000? Oh, I just bet you got a ton of Muslim students in your tiny little town.

Stop lying.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidThese visits in UK schools are often part of Religious Education (RE) lessons, allowing students to learn about various faiths, beliefs, and practices.

And yes, this includes Muslim children visiting Christian Churches. (And there wasn't any hell to pay).
Nothing to see here (as usual).

@Ghost-of-a-Duke saidSo...how many Muslims students go to Christian services as part of their school curriculum?

@Cliff-Mashburn saidVisiting churches, mosques, synagogues etc would happen among students who are studying RE (Religious education) either at GCSE level or A level.
So...how many Muslims students go to Christian services as part of their school curriculum?
So any Muslims who are studying this subject at those levels would do the same as their fellow students and visit other places of worship. - No doubt students can opt of this, but I can't see that happening very often, as it is part of their chosen studies. (And a Christian would be able to do likewise, though again unlikely).
So I hope you see how misleading your OP is? - Students who have chosen to study religious studies benefit greatly from visiting places of worship that are not their own.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidIn fact there live moslems in Linknehim, if you come to visit I can prove wjhat i wrote, while you throw around the accusation "liar" around yourself very freely.

Didn't you read in scripture what God wants his people to do ? (hint: some will call it the eigth commandment).
@Ponderable saidHere is something interesting. Are there any Muslim Schools in your village? At 12,000 pop, using the nation average of 6% Muslims, thats 720 and if there are about 120 school age children then chances are thats enough to start their own small Muslim school.

In the UK Muslims like to have their children go to Muslim schools, with good reason. Using Hindus for comparison -
Hindus - 1.8 M have less then 10 Hindu schools [all state funded]
Muslims - 3.9 M, have over 130 Muslim schools, half of which are state funded.
Hindus will gladly send their kids to a UK public school, but that option is a distant second choice for Muslims.

@Rajk999 saidThat 6% average isn't spread evenly throughout the country, most Muslims are in major population centers. 1 1/2 million are in London, for example.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidIn Germany they are spread more evenly, not so many in the eastern states.

I would estimate the Muslim populatioon in Linkehmei at about 500, but this is just an estimate.
