Boys expelled from Islamic school for urinating on Bible
The headmaster of a Melbourne Islamic College has condemned the behaviour of two boys expelled for allegedly urinating on a Bible.
The incident is alleged to have happened on a school camp last week.
Teachers at the East Preston College have petitioned the principal telling of their shock and dismay.
Principal Shaheem Doutie says the behaviour of the boys was unacceptable.
"Principal, teachers and the school community hereby condemn in the strongest possible terms the alleged desecration of the Bible by two of our students at a school camp," he said.
Mr Doutie has offered an unconditional apology to everyone affected.
"I hereby apologise to all staff, including Muslim and non-Muslim teachers, or any other person that was offended by this horrible act as conducted by some ignorant and clearly ill-informed students," he said.
