Unfortunately, the interweb being what it is, I suppose the Express article and the Civitas report will be seized on by the gibbering hordes.<BR/><BR/>My attempt to expose the report's shortcomings is not motivated by any fondness of Islam. As an athiest socialist, I don't have much time for faith schools of any persuasion, but I appreciate they will exist as long as there is a market for them. I do think there is a deliberate attempt to foment and exploit anti-Islamic sentiment by institutions like Civitas, and this is taken up by the likes of the Mail and the Express. SO I often find myself - oddly - defending something I don't like or believe in (a religion) against soemthing I despise (the cynical provokation of bigotry.<BR/><BR/>Some of the comments you made about the educational and religious backgrounds of the 7/7 murderers is of interest.lurgeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735536088030480119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-507659435767768133.post-33803090825834186542009-02-22T07:56:00.000+13:002009-02-22T07:56:00.000+13:00Salaam Less than 5% of Muslim children attend Muss...Salaam<BR/> <BR/>Less than 5% of Muslim children attend Musslim schools while 96% attend state schools with non-Muslim monolingual teachers. They are exposed to racism in all walks of life by the fellow students as well as by the chicken racist teachers. The National Curriculum does not satisfy their needs and demands. They grow up to beecome angry, frustrated and extremist.<BR/> <BR/>Bilingual Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods. There is no place for a non-muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school.<BR/> <BR/>Muslim schools performed best overall, although they constitute only a fraction of the country's 7000 schools. Muslim schools do well because of their Islamic ethos and a focus on traditional discipline and teaching methods. They teach children what is right and what is wrong, because young children need structural guidance. No one paid any attention to the fact that none of the alleged attackers went to Muslim schools. They had not been brought up in religious families at all. They had gone to state schools, and had fully integrated and tasted and lived the 'British way of life' in many ways. They had only come to religion relatively late. The attackers were used as an excuse to target and demonise Muslim schools with no valid reason. This is the main reason why non-Muslims are hell bent upon eleminating Muslim <BR/> <BR/>There are hundreds of state and Church schools where Muslim children are in majority. In my opinion all such schools may be designated a sMuslim Community schools.<BR/>Iftikhar Ahmad<BR/>www.londonschoolofislamics.org.ukIftikhar Ahmadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741872226390808403noreply@blogger.com
