On Document.dk, the website that discovered the video, and on social media, the reactions were devastating, with many calling for the teacher and the entire school leadership to resign.
"The teacher should be fired with a kick in the ass", one reader suggested. "And if it doesn't happen, close down the school", another chimed in.
Many labelled Thyregod School a "Quran school" and suggested it was "indoctrinating" Danish schoolchildren.
The Danish People's Party's Martin Henriksen, who has recently been appointed the head of the party's new committee to bolster its national conservative profile, sent a written request to the school, asking for an explanation why the children should be taught the religious ways of Islam. Henriksen is very dissatisfied with the answer he has received from headmaster Gert Hougaard.
"Hougaard has not responded whether he intends to pursue this practice, and he has referred to the curriculum on the subject of Christianity", Henriksen told the news outlet Den Korte Avis. According to Henriksen, the education focuses on introducing the main ideas and basic concepts of religions in Denmark and across the world.
Henriksen wants to have an explanation from the school management whether they also intend to teach about Islam's "dark sides and widespread fundamentalism", as well as massive religious and social control.
In conclusion, Henriksen also asked whether the school management had received the parents' consent for the Muslim prayer. The last question was whether the Muslim students are taught the Lord's Prayer.
The school itself has received many angry e-mails, headmaster Gert Hougaard admitted, saying he has "never experienced anything like this".
I am not the prime minister's man, I am a man of the people, I am a man of the public who sent me, and - I hope I'm not starting an outrage here - I work for God and do what I believe is good for the State of Israel and the people of Israel, according to my worldview.Smotrich is co-leader of the Union of Right-Wing Parties, the merger which got the Kahanist Jewish Power party elected in April. Subsequently, Netanyahu's failure to assemble a governing coalition led to a vote to dissolve the Knesset in late May, and new elections are set for September 17th.
Comment: Just as a minority of LGBTQ people have pushed things too far into the realm of "anything goes", now there will be blowback by a conservative minority that will be EQUALLY overdone and overly moralistic, resulting in the exact opposite of what everyone actually wants (peace and quiet). In other words, we already have equality, because everyone is equally nuts and equally incapable of thinking in anything other than black or white terms.
