Parents
irate after students told to sing Muslim tune, 'This is their fight song. Spread Islam now song. Prove that
they're right, by Douglas Ernst, 11/19/15, WND
Parents at a California middle school are
demanding to know why a teacher had students sing an Islamic “fight song”.
A seventh-grade teacher
at Spring View Middle School in Huntington Beach, California, deviated from the
district’s official curriculum and had students sing “This Is My Fight Song.”
Parent and grandparent Nichole Negron and Susan Negron told KCAL 9 Los Angeles their seventh grader was told to participate in the activity.
“I believe that by singing the song, the
children feel comfortable that maybe Allahu is the only god and maybe that they
should start following him,” Susan Negron told the network Tuesday. “I’m not
OK with that.”
The women only found out about the activity by
accident when Negron’s son brought a pamphlet with lyrics home.
“How can we as parents combat against what we
don’t know is going on?” the mother asked.
The two women went to the Ocean View school
board on Tuesday night looking for answers. The teacher allegedly wanted
students to learn about Islam through a “catchy” tune.
The lyrics to “This Is My Fight Song” go as
follows:
Like a sandstorm on 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. All all those things they have to
say, Islam … Allah’s on the way.
They will preach them loud tonight. Can you hear their voice this time? This is their fight song. Spread Islam now song. Prove that they’re right song.

Ojaala Ahmed of the Council for American Islamic
Relations in Anaheim told the CBS affiliate she wanted to know why the teacher
shared the song, given that Islamic radical terror attacks in Paris, France,
last Friday killed 129 and injured over 350.
“Especially with the recent attacks ISIS has
been doing, knowing that this potentially Islamaphobic backlash might come
about, what was the teacher’s intention?” Ahmed asked.
The school district sent an apology to parents
and said it would continue looking into the incident, the network reported.
