A Girls Preparatory School assembly opens with a Psalm, then “Please pray with us” says the speaker as the assembled students bow their heads and fold their hands in their laps. Junior Saba Munir, a Muslim, listens to the prayer but mentally replaces the uttered word “Jesus” with “Allah.”
During the occasional prayer during GPS’ daily assembly, Saba said, she bows her head out of respect for the speaker’s religion.
