Of course they do. Because all of that stuff has been replaced by the Koran. And the enlightened progressives go all aggro because their favorite Mohammedans feelings could be hurt.
For them, bible basher Tony Abbott is the one who is really intolerant here.
Can’t have that:
BIBLE classes should be compulsory so children have a fundamental understanding of Christianity on leaving school, federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott says.

“I think everyone should have some familiarity with the great texts that are at the core of our civilisation,” Mr Abbott said.
That includes, most importantly, the Bible.
“I think it would be impossible to have a good general education without at least some serious familiarity with the Bible and with the teachings of Christianity.
“That doesn’t mean that people have to be believers.”
But former Howard government Islamic advisor Dr Ameer Ali, said Mr Abbott’s remarks were “over the top”. (Ameer Ali is also a guy who believes that Australia is already a Muslim nation”-)
“It’s one thing to say every child needs a good knowledge of history and geography or science,” Dr Ali said.
“But it is something else to say all children should have a knowledge of the Bible. That might hurt other people who have their own holy scriptures,” he said.
And the Australian Education Union’s federal president, Angelo Gavrielatos, said that religion was not a priority for schools.
“There is a place for comparative studies of religion in the curriculum, but ultimately we consider it a private matter for parents and their children,” he said.
In an interview with the Herald Sun Mr Abbott also said:
YOUNG people should be alerted to the long-term health dangers of binge drinking.
A STRONGER police presence was needed in places where street violence was common.
THERE should be better choices for women considering abortion.
OBESITY should be tackled not through “creating a nanny state” but through education to encourage adults to be more responsible for themselves and their children.
PEOPLE should have more children, and the baby bonus should not be means-tested.
PENALTY rates for employees who work on weekends or public holidays were a matter for workers and employers to agree upon, “subject to a reasonable safety net”.

THEY have got GOD reasons to worry NOW.
I thought we could look on ‘THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE’ for a change.

“But it is something else to say all children should have a knowledge of the Bible. That might hurt other people who have their own holy scriptures,” he said.
So much for interfaith dialogue, mutual understanding, ‘three great Abrahamic faiths”, “Jesus is a muslim”, “we love Jesus”, and other islamic canards. Muslims hate Jesus, deny his crucifixion, deny his deity, and blaspheme against him routinely, while calling for laws to punish defamation of prophets and religions. Thrust in your sickle and reap ….
Muslim mouthpieces don’t like the idea of knowledge, it undermines their lies.
Agreed Mullah – the double standards and grand standing from these islamic creeps and their PC servants is truly digusting to behold.
Tony Abbott is an idiot. Just because I don’t want an Islamic theocracy, doesn’t mean that I want a christian theocracy either.
You are safe, Infidela. The Christians aren’t coming to get you, promise!
United States is a “Christian Republic” in spirit even today, despite the massive efforts of Socialist/Marxist left wing lunatics and their Muham-mad totalitarian fascist brothers to destroy it’s foundations. As long as the Constitution remains the central theme of rule, which draws it’s principles from the Bible 8 times more over than any other source, the Republic shall stand.
No mystery why Barak Hussein Obama claims the Constitution of the United States is “deeply flawed”, when you understand it’s Biblical foundation. The dude hates Judeo/Christian heritage…like any good Muslim.
