Christian student quits school choir in protest at song 'praising Allah'

A student has left his high-school choir after the group sang an Islamic song which contained lyrics in praise of Allah.

James Harper, a senior at Grand Junction High School in Colorado, protested when the after-school men's choir chose to sing 'Zikr', by Indian composer A.R. Rahman.

He said he thought it was inappropriate for the choir to sing 'an Islamic worship song' which includes the line 'There is no truth except Allah'.

But when he complained to the local school district, they defended the choir director, Marcia Wieland - so Mr Harper left the group.
