A primary school has apologised for mistakenly showing a picture of the Prophet Muhammad in assembly, and wishing him a happy birthday .
Staff at Hunter s Bar Junior School in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, have been left red-faced by last Friday s incident, which sparked a revolt from one furious parent, who has called for Muslim parents to pull their children out of lessons.
Islam forbids all kinds of pictorial depiction of Muhammad or any other prophets as they are thought to encourage the worship of idols and they are seen as an insult to the religion.
Furious Atif Mohammed has rejected the school s apology and demanded that the teacher, who he believes accidentally displayed the image, step down.
