YOUNG BOY REFUSES TO KNEEL FOR ISLAMIC PRAYER AFTER TEACHER TAKES THE CLASS ON EDUCATIONAL TRIP TO MOSQUE
Overview
This is a two-panel collage image. The left panel depicts an indoor mosque setting, where a bearded Muslim man wearing a white kufi cap stands on patterned prayer rugs facing a line of school children, most dressed in blue uniforms and some wearing small white kufi caps, who are visiting as part of an educational trip. The right panel shows the same scene: most of the children are kneeling and bowing in the position for Islamic prayer, while one young boy in a blue sweatshirt and black shorts remains standing upright, not taking part in the prayer, next to another bearded Muslim man in a white traditional robe and kufi. Overlaid text at the bottom reads 'YOUNG BOY REFUSES TO KNEEL FOR ISLAMIC PRAYER AFTER TEACHER TAKES THE CLASS ON EDUCATIONAL TRIP TO MOSQUE', with a 'The Truth Wire' logo above this text, and a '<- SWIPE' prompt at the very bottom.
