The Anoka-Hennepin County School District is seeking to quell what it described as “inaccurate information” about a holiday concert that included a song celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

Leading up to the Blaine High School holiday choir concert Thursday, criticism emerged on social media over the inclusion of the song “Eid Un Sa’Eid.” The song contains an Arabic phrase meaning “God is great” when translated into English.

The school’s 2014 holiday concert included the same song and did not generate memorable objection or debate. The nine-song concert also featured traditional Christian Christmas carols, like “Angels We Have Heard On High” and “Silent Night,” as well as “Hanukkah Song,” a traditional Jewish carol.

Students pick the songs for the concert, according to district spokeswoman Kay Villella.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and is considered by believers to be the month in which the Quran was first revealed to the prophet Mohammed. In 2015, Ramadan fell between June 17 and July 17.

After the concert, the district released a statement saying that “students represent many cultures” and that “Anoka-Hennepin promotes equal opportunities for all students and a curriculum policy that ensures a respectful learning environment.”

Despite the frenzy of social media commentary, the event was a success, Villella said.

“Thursday night’s concert went off wonderfully,” she said. “The students worked really hard, and I think they were really happy with how it came out.”
