Did You Hear About The Christian Principle Who Punched a Student for Converting to Another Religion?

I can guarantee you WOULD HAVE, had it happened. But when a principle of another religion does it... all you hear is crickets chirping.


Christian Coached Canned After Evangelizing Muslim

Legendary Christian coach canned after student converts [Excerpts]; Muslim principal allegedly irate that wrestler left Islam to be baptized

A high school hall-of-fame and Christian wrestling coach in Dearborn, Mich., claims he was muscled out of his long-tenured coaching job by the school's principal, a devout Muslim, because the administrator was furious over a student wrestler who had converted to Christianity from Islam.

Gerald Marsazalek has coached wrestling for 35 years at Dearborn Public Schools, amassing more than 450 wins and, in addition to being added to the Michigan High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame, was named "Sportsman of the Year" by the All-American Athletic Association.

Despite Marsazalek's success, however, Principal Imad Fadlallah of Dearborn's Fordson High School ordered the administration not to renew the coach's contract, allegedly in retaliation over the student's conversion and to continue a campaign of flushing Christianity out of the school.

"We are getting a glimpse of what happens when Muslims who refuse to accept American values and principles gain political power in an American community," said Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Law Center, which is representing Marsazalek. "Failure to renew coach Marszalek's contract had nothing to do with wrestling and everything to do with religion."

Marsazalek is suing both the principal and the school in the U.S. District Court of Eastern Michigan, seeking back pay, injunctive and declaratory relief, damages, and to be reinstated as coach of the wrestling team.

According to lawsuit documents, Principal Fadlallah's retribution against the Christian coaches serving Fordson High began in 2005, after Marsazalek's volunteer assistant coach, Trey Hancock, led a non-school sanctioned and independent summer wrestling camp. Hancock, who is also pastor of the Dearborn Assembly of God and parent to one of the wrestlers, reportedly shared his beliefs at the camp and baptized a Muslim Fordson student into the Christian faith.

That fall, Fadlallah fired Hancock and ordered the volunteer coach not to have further contact with the student wrestlers.

"Subsequently, in full view of students and faculty," the lawsuit states, "Fadlallah approached the young Fordson student who had chosen to be baptized a Christian at Hancock's summer wrestling camp, punched the student and advised the student he had 'disgraced his family' by converting to Christianity from Islam."

According to a statement from the Thomas More Law Center, Dearborn is one of the most densely populated Muslim communities in the United States. An estimated 30,000 of its 98,000 residents are Muslims, and roughly 80 percent of the student population of Fordson High School is Arabic, many of whom are also Muslims.

Once again, we clearly see that it is OPEN SEASON on all things Christian in America, whether in the name of "tolerance", "civil rights" or the fallacy of "separation of church and state". If a Christian school teacher or administrator so much as MENTIONS Christianity or even speaks personally of its benefits in their own personal life, you never hear the end of the offense and danger of it.

Ironically, the very people screaming "equal rights" and "separation" would gladly (and WILL some day when they are majority) complete deny all Christians their rights and freedom. They fail to see that they are killing freedom for all when they kill freedom for one. The next majority will come along and take away THEIR "freedom".

America is imploding and Christians, as history clearly shows, will have a bullseye painted on their backs and be the target of blame, persecution and violence. It's already happening and will only get worse. Are you prepared?
