The idiocies of the Muslim faith include a fundamental and pernicious mysoginist attitude and progress right up to hacking people to death for spilling the milk.
But only because it's Islam. If a Christian Faith School preached that women should stay at home, that evolution was a fiction, and took tax-payer's money to organise a trip to (say) Bethlehem but only allowed Christians to go, how many of the people currently bleating about this would be condemning it? I should point out that a number of them are already doing one and two on that list at least. I agree some posters would, but most would be studiously avoiding the subject. Any school based on Faith is a stupid idea, and some of us predicted this would happen when the whole idea was started. But to condemn only the Muslim idiocies and not the idiocies of other faiths is bigotry. I'm happy to accept that it's not racism. Except when it is.
I'll accept that very few Christians propose death for anyone. Well, except criminals, and abortion doctors anyway. Buy they are vast swathes of Christianity who are every bit as misogynist as some Muslims (it is NOT universal amongst people of that faith either). A quick look at US politics, particularly in the South will show that. As will a read of these forums sometimes.
We've had faith schools in this country since erm, we've had schools in this country. Let's not delude ourselves that this is a problem with anything other than a large extremist element in British Muslim communities and a lack of oversight of schools that was introduced with the tearing up of the 1944 Butler Education Act and introduction of Academies and Free Schools.
There are no significant problems with our Church of England schools, or Roman Catholic schools, or Jewish schools, or Hindu schools, or Sikh schools.
But there are vast swathes of Christianity who are every bit as misogynist as some Muslims (it is NOT universal amongst people of that faith either).
The government's report was compiled by retired senior police officer Peter Clarke, the former head of the Met Police's counter-terrorism unit. It is due to be published next week.
It says he found evidence of "sustained and co-ordinated agenda to impose upon children in a number of Birmingham schools the segregationist attitudes and practices of a hardline and politicised strain of Sunni Islam".
He also found evidence of a "co-ordinated, deliberate and sustained action to introduce an intolerant and aggressive Islamist ethos into some schools in the city".
Nothing inherently wrong with a good cleansing of the mindbrainwashing our kids.
So...muslims are great culturally for our country?
So..one particular sect is completely representative of an entire religion? That was rhetorical of course - I've seen enough of your posts here to know what your answer is likely to be.
Indeed, but why not quote examples of the great contributions the other sects make to society instead. Give people an idea of just how ubiquitous and useful the followers of Islam can be, to British culture in British society.
That'll shut him right up.
Religion should be banned full stop!
