Wellesley Middle School students partake in muslim prayer service during a field trip.

On September 6th, 2010, the Wellesley's school superintendent apoligized for allowing students, who were on a field trip to a Roxbury mosque last spring, to take part in a Muslim prayer service. During the field trip, a woman was chaperoning for her son's class and she caught 10-minute long video footage of 5 students participating in the prayer service. The video was received by the Americans for Peace and Tolerance who, then released the video to the public.
I don't think that the Wellesley's school superintendent has anything to apologize for. The school neither advised the children to participate in the Muslim prayer service nor did they advise against it, because they are not allowed to make that decision. The superintendent, Bella Wong, admitted that the school had not expected for the students to participate in any prayer service while on the field trip. Even the president of the Muslim American Society of Boston, Bilal Kaleem, said that the tours do not invite people to take part in Muslim prayer or reject them from doing so. The decision lies with the students and, for that reason, the only thing that can be done is for the parents to give their kids a slap on the wrist. The superintendent isn't at fault and the cultural center isn't at fault. Instead, it's the fault of the parents.

Pastor Jones backs down from his Koran burning plan.

Some people would probably like not to have mosque stand at ground zero of the 9/11 bombing, especially those who had lost loved ones to that day. Although there is very little that those people could actually do to stop the construction of the mosque, Pastor Terry Jones of Florida tried to hit the Muslims where it hurts, their holy book, the Koran. It was a bold move, but their was too much pressure from many Americans that were against it and over a hundred death threats saying to stop. He was forced to back down.
My opinion is that their should not be a mosque built at ground zero, but I know that Muslims have as much right to build a mosque there as the majority of Christian Americans have to build a church there. Instead it should just be kept as a memorial to the people lost on 9/11. What Jones tried to do was to provoke anger in Muslims, for wanting to build their mosque, by threatening to burn their holy book. His way of logic is dreadfully wrong, instead, the answer is that Christians and Muslims should learn to accept each other's beliefs and not give in to ignorance so quickly. After all, Christianity and Islam are, in many ways, quite similar. They just tell their stories a little bit differently.
