There are predicatbly many claim and counter claims about the failures, with the school saying its closed for a short break due to a "health and safety issue", although whether thats for staff or pupils isn't clear.<br /><br />Its perhaps predicable that the first islamic school of this type, should be almost immediately covered in controversy (especially when you consider how postal votes have been abused in that area), and end up being closed for a number of issues.<br /><br />Laughable really, but you should feel some sympathy for the pupils, if not for the misguided parents who want their children to end up like a student at a Karachi Madrasa. <br /><br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-24360100Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5033865397341905972.post-54219201320125739062013-09-29T18:20:12.624+01:002013-09-29T18:20:12.624+01:00Agree, we are making one set of rules for the rest...Agree, we are making one set of rules for the rest of us, and one lot of exceptions for the Muslims. Its a mistake that just stokes up resentment, as the fact that one in four young people in Britain distrust Muslims and think the country would be better off without them, a <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/24204742" rel="nofollow"><i>Radio1 Newsbeat Poll</i></a> has shown.<br /><br />Additionally, 16% said they didn't trust Hindus or Sikhs, 15% said they didn't trust Jewish people, that figure was 13% for Buddhists and 12% said they didn't trust Christians. Of the 1,000 people interviewed, 44% said they believe Muslims did not share the same values as the rest of the population, while 28% said they felt Britain would be "better off" with fewer Muslims.<br /><br />Some 60% of the 18 to 24-year-olds asked thought the British public had a negative image of Muslims, with 26% saying foreign terror groups were to blame for '<i>Islamophobia</i>', compared to 21% who said the reason is UK Muslims who have committed acts of terror.No PChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824446252611654550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5033865397341905972.post-29275025271168467002013-09-28T21:57:48.545+01:002013-09-28T21:57:48.545+01:00It's been argued that the niqab is a personal ...It's been argued that the niqab is a personal choice of dress but we already don't tolerate other choices such as Nazi uniforms, nudity or near nudity, KKK garb and anything from the 70s. These examples of bad dress-sense have their exceptions where they can be worn, as can the niqab. <br />Vroomfondelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15502448843409791872noreply@blogger.com
