You and your website are way too paranoid.
Jews, Christians, and Mulsims all worship the one true God of Abraham.
The Catholic Church teaches, "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."
"It is my ardent hope that Muslim and Christian religious leaders and teachers will present our two great religious communities as communities in respectful dialogue, never more as communities in conflict."
-- Pope John Paul II, Meeting with Muslim Leaders in Omayyad Great Mosque, Damascus, May 6, 2001. http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/speeches/2001/documents/hf_jp-ii_spe_20010506_omayyadi_en.html
Christians and Muslims, following their respective religions, point to the truth of the sacred character and dignity of the person. This is the basis of our mutual respect and esteem, this is the basis for cooperation in the service of peace between nations and peoples, the dearest wish of all believers and all people of good will.
As an illustration of the fraternal respect with which Christians and Muslims can work together, I would like to quote some words addressed by Pope Gregory VII in 1076 to a Muslim prince in North Africa who had acted with great benevolence towards the Christians under his jurisdiction. Pope Gregory spoke of the particular charity that Christians and Muslims owe to one another “because we believe in one God, albeit in a different manner, and because we praise him and worship him every day as the Creator and Ruler of the world.”
-- Pope Benedict XVI, Meeting with the President of the Turkish Religious Affairs Directorate in Ankara, Turkey, November 28, 2006. http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/speeches/2006/november/documents/hf_ben-xvi_spe_20061128_pres-religious-affairs_en.html
With love in Christ.

That article is so biased that it barely contains even a speck of truth. The ACLU does not work toward the promotion of any religion in school.

Islam today is simply evolving the way christianity did... why are you so upset? that is the cycle of religion.... people always looking for answers not available to them because they have a history of selling their spirit because of religions... it's not a natural cycle but it's the same one that affects you... they think like you and act like you... just use different words... you are as offensive to us as they are to you... and so on and so on... perhaps someday people will reevaluate religion and go back to the principles of nature... till then you are all making each other sick..

Are they forcing you to practice Islam? NO. You can privately pray at school as can any Muslim student. It is not sponsored by the school.
