A nine-year-old Muslim student has been expelled from a Protestant school in Germany because she did not want to attend Christian religion classes and ceremonies.
According to the German news agency RP Online, instead of being exempted from Christian religion classes, the student, whose name is Zeinab, was expelled from a Protestant school in Muenchen Goldbach, Rheidt.
Her parents have complained to the authorities of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
Zeinab's father says that when the family registered Zeinab for the nearby school, they were surprised to discover that, unlike other Christian schools, their Muslim daughter would be required to attend the school's Bible classes.
The 75 Muslim students of the school are all required to attend Bible classes and Christian religious ceremonies.
Zeinab's parents have brought the case to the administrative court of Dusseldorf, and it was decided that she would remain at the school but would be exempted from attending Bible classes until the court issues a ruling.
