It seems like they should be able to set up a space for prayer so that Muslims can pray maybe during lunch or recess. I attended GMU for school and there were Muslim prayer areas (in the corner of the restrooms - this was 20 years ago), and at Freddie Mac, in the building where I worked, they had 2 rooms set up with prayer rugs. It seems like this could be simple to set up. 
If that is not enough, I agree with the PP who suggested private Muslim school.

At a public school? Absolutely not.

Do they set up a Eucharistic adoration chapel so Catholic kids can go reflect about the resurrection during holy days? Nope.

What about a bible area so Evangelical kids can gather to read scripture and save people? No again.

A place for wiccan students to go worship mother earth? Not happening.

An ancestral shrine for Shinto students? No, not in a public school.

Why the hell do you think that a public school should set up a prayer area for one religion over another? Completely wrong and unconstitutional, unless they are willing to build little chapels all over their public school campuses, or designate a different corner of each classroom for all the different religions served by the school.

I can't believe you are even suggesting such a thing. Utter nonsense.[/quote]

This makes more sense than anything I have read.[/quote]
