I seriously doubt a Muslim faith based school would hire a Christian teacher... perhaps a christian receptionist or janitorial staff... but NOT a teacher.
This lady is just trying to stir the pot.

GR, I can tell you I have NO experience with 'faith based' education. That being said, again tell my how her personal faith should matter if she is teaching
Math? Will 1+1=3 if she is wearing a head scarf? If it does to her then she can be rejected because she is incompetent not because she is Muslim. I assume she felt SHE had no problem with the school being Christian and so as long as she didn't quote the Koran during a algebra exam I don't know why anyone would have a problem.
Now if the
real problem is the parents and the adminstrators just don't
want the students exposed to someone who looks different, dresses different, worships different......
Well, that's a shame.
