I am the only Christian teaching in a Muslim School. Shall I get out?

Question

I have taught science for 14 years in a private Muslim school in Birmingham. I have tried to teach the way of peace rather than war. Three years ago I alerted the police when I discovered bomb making equipment and materials had been brought into the lab by a Chemistry graduate. Should I keep watch or remove myself?

Answer 1

Then how are they going to know that Christians are humans who bleed just like Muslims if they don't see you.

Without knowing it, you have probably been the physical representation of Christian Westerners in that school for all the pupils. And when some zealot says to them all Westerners are not worthy to live they think of you and think 'what utter crap'.

Stick it out; how can we build an integrated world if we don't show them who we are? Only leave if you feel that you are in danger.

Answer 2

This sounds like mischief and any private Muslim school in Birmingham where there is one Christian teacher teaching science should be alerted, for the protection of the supposedly Christian teacher and the good reputation of the school. I don't think a teacher would have written this.

WHERE IS THE IT TEACHER??

Answer 3

Get a Grip, What sort of impression are u sending out to other people that are reading this. 3 years ago is along time, why not speak when it took place and why bring it up after 3 years later, allgeration is that all u have?, what is it just because you've heard about the Heatherow Airport incident you thought u'd broadcast your view. Chritianty Believes in peace all the way round. Hero my **** ..

Answer 4

By being there the pupils are getting more than a Science teacher, they are getting the chance to encounter a Christian and learn about our religion and way of life and vice versa. This sort of thing can only help to promote integration and tolerance. Yes, you should be vigilant and report anything untoward to the police and keep yourself safe. Only leave if you are not doing a good job or you feel unsafe.

Answer 5

whooo am sure your teaching skill's will be appricaited else where, but a pat on the back for contacting the police that was really good for you.
let's face it most of the student;s are not gonna listen to you anyway cause you are not muslim and especailly not about peace.
Dont get me wrong I dont think all muslim's are like but I find they are the one's who choose a religoin with all the wrong morol's in my eye's. I have found some muslim's really rude and opininated.

Answer 6

How does a Christian get a job in a Muslim school? I don't believe you. A real teacher wouldn't be asking yahoo's a question of this nature. Your lack of professionalism on the subject shows through in your statement.

Answer 7

No, no, no! Most of the trouble in this world is caused by lack of understanding. If you can help to teach, not convert, how we can all live together in a multicultural society that,s great. What a fantastic opportunity to make even a small difference that not many people will have.

Answer 8

I think you are in a great place. You can continue to teach peace and keep an eye on the students and staff. Meanwhile, as long as you can avoid becoming a personal target, you at least know that your school will not be a terrorist target.

Answer 9

I think you have no reason to get out. Are you certain it wasn't some kind of a prank? Even if it isn't a prank it doesn't mean you are in danger. I think you should be an example to other teachers and stay loyal to your students that is if you are happy with you job in the school.

Answer 10

if you were a real techer i dont believey ou would write this. you talk of keeping watch and teaching the way of peace, you are a science teacher, teach your subject, stop worrying about the reast of it. obviously, blatent law breaking should be repoted but why do you think all muslims are going to need watching?
