A video has recently emerged of non-Muslim, Danish third-graders repeatedly dropping to their knees as they’re taught Islamic prayers and are instructed to yell “Allahu Akbar” (“Allah is [the] greatest”).

According to Danish website Document, the “offending institution” was Thyregod elementary school in southern Jutland’s Velje municipality. The incident occurred in November 2018, but the video has only recently come to light. 

A large group of school students (primarily ethnic Danish) are set up behind a small African boy who is dressed in Muslim clothes and has brought a prayer rug.

“First I show, and then we do it,” says the Muslim boy. The school teacher gathers his students and tells them: “We’ll watch first.”

Students watch while the Muslim boy demonstrates Islamic prayer.
