    School Prayer Annie Laurie Gaylor argues against school prayer in her article “The Case against School Prayer” (Elements of Arguments‚ 679). When religion is included in daily school routines‚ it divides students into different beliefs. Public schools are meant to be open for all people to get an education‚ but not to influence them into a new religion. Requiring students to practice prayer in public schools is a violation of Freedom of Religion. Public schools should not practice prayer because

    Why ALLAH does not accept our Prayers “I never understood the relation of a man‚ his desires and the God.” He kept looking at me silently. I said “A man’s 80% wishes are un-necessary‚ permissible and innocent. And if ALLAH  fulfills them‚ although He has no problem in doing it‚ but these files of desires keep dribbling from table to table and from the office of one person to another” I looked up at his face. It was silent‚ appeasing and smiling. I continued “For example‚ a student does the hard
