“RACE-HATE” schools may be turning kids against the British way of life, secret papers have warned.

Ministers are said to have concerns that more than 100 independent faith schools, most of which are Islamic, could be encouraging anti-British hatred.

But education bosses fear they will be unable to crack down on extremism as it is too difficult to prove it is going on.

A Government source said: “There is a gap between what we think we know and what we can prove.”

Three schools flagged up as being “of interest” in the secret documents are run by a group which is alleged to have links to deported hate preacher Omar Bakri.

  1. Muslim migrants are living in a society which is institutionally racist. Brits must learn to respect and tolerate those who are different.Children should be taught about living religions so that they could learn to respect and tolerate those who are in their schools or who live near their own homes.

    Multiculturalism is not about integration but about cultural plurality. It is not about separation but about respect and the deepening awareness of Unity in Diversity. Each culture will maintain its own intrinsic value and at the same time would be expected to contribute to the benefit of the whole society. Multiculturalism can accommodate diversity of all kinds – cultural, philosophical and religious – so that we can create a world without conflict and strife. Britain can assume the role of accommodation and concern for all peoples, for our planet and indeed for our survival. Multi-culturalism is even more important and crucial after 9/11 and 7/7. Muslim youths are also likely to feel alienated by a focus on shared Brutishness, rather than multicultural diversity. Rather than promoting a single British “us” teaching should acknowledge that “us” can be diverse and plural. Children should be encouraged to explore differences in appearance, history and religion to reduce social and educational fears. The pressures of multi-culturalism, racism, bullying and Islamophobia have forced the Muslim community to set up their own schools.There are hundreds of state and church schools where Muslim pupils are in majority. In my opinion all such schools may be opted out as Muslim Academies with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models. Such schools will be able to satisfy the needs and demands of the Muslim children and their parents.

    A civilisation is measured not by the rights it grants its majority but the privileges it allows its minorities.

    Muslim community not only needs Mosques but also state funded Muslim schools for their bilingual children. They need to learn and be well versed in standard English to follow the national Curriculum and go for higher studies and research to serve humanity. They also need to learn and be well versed in Arabic, Urdu and other community languages to keep in touch with their cultural heritage and enjoy the beauty of their literature and poetry. A Muslim is a citizen of this tiny global village. He/she does not want to become notoriously monolingual Brit.

    Muslim schooling is on the rise in the West. Anti-Muslim attitudes in state schools contribute to its growth. there are 240 to 250 private Islamic schools in the U.S and 188 Muslim schools in the United Kingdom and out of that 12 are state funded. The increasing enrolment in these schools reflects the religion’s growing number of Muslims and the desire of parents to shelter young Muslims from discrimination and discomfort they might encounter at state schools. But Islamic schools, like mosques and other Islamic institutions, can be viewed with distrust and even hostility. Jewish Schools in Israel teach Children about Evolution. They has a curious way of teaching it. They said the Jews were made by god and the Palestinians evolved from apes. On the other hand, Muslim schools teach children that human beings are from Adam and Eve(peace be upon them).

    It’s very important … for Muslim kids to be able to go to a school that affirms who they are and allows the creative space to be comfortable being Muslim. In an Islamic school they have a feeling of pride … minus some of the other things they might encounter. The Islamic School League of America (ISLA), a non-profit that connects Muslim educators and institutions, estimates that 40,000 students are enrolled in Islamic schools in the United States, a 25 percent increase from 2006. Those numbers are expected to keep growing as new schools open and existing schools expand.

    There are plenty of challenges to start-up schools, not least of which is persuading potential students and their parents that the school is academically up to snuff. If you’re dealing with immigrants, you’re dealing with post-colonial attitudes, in many of their countries of origin, The way to move upward was through Western schools. … (In the past) they saw Islamic schools as not where they should put their students if they want their kids to end up in Harvard or in Oxford.
    Bilingual Muslims children have a right, as much as any other faith group, to be taught their culture, languages and faith alongside a mainstream curriculum. More faith schools will be opened under sweeping reforms of the education system in England. There is a dire need for the growth of state funded Muslim schools to meet the growing needs and demands of the Muslim parents and children. Now the time has come that parents and community should take over the running of their local schools.

    The Muslim community has been passing through a phase of fourth Crusades. The battleground is the field of education, where the young generation will be educated properly with the Holly Quran in one hand and Sciences in other hand to serve humanity. A true Muslim is a citizen of the world, which has become a small global village. We are going to prepare our youth to achieve that objective in the long run. A true Muslim believes in Prophet Moses and the Prophet Jesus and without them one cannot be a Muslim. My suggestion is that in all state, independent and Christian based school special attention should be given to the teaching of Comparative Religion and Islam should be taught by qualified Muslim Teachers to make the children aware the closeness of Islam to Christianity and Judaism which will help them to think about Islam, as “A Pragmatic and Modern Way of Life,” during their life time. Those state schools where Muslim children are in majority may be opted out as Muslim Academies.

    There are hundreds of state primary and secondary schools where Muslim pupils are in majority. In my opinion all such schools may be opted out to become Muslim Academies. This mean the Muslim children will get a decent education. Muslim schools turned out balanced citizens, more tolerant of others and less likely to succumb to criminality or extremism. Muslim schools give young people confidence in who they are and an understanding of Islam’s teaching of tolerance and respect which prepares them for a positive and fulfilling role in society. Muslim schools are attractive to Muslim parents because they have better discipline and teaching Islamic values. Children like discipline, structure and boundaries. Bilingual Muslim children need Bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods, who understand their needs and demands.

  2. OT- Israeli produce discovered in south Lebanon shop

    SIDON, Lebanon: A Lebanese shopper discovered several food items made in Israel in one of Lebanon’s largest retailers Tuesday.

    While shopping at Spinneys in the coastal city of Sidon, a man, who preferred to remain anonymous, discovered a bag of three kinds of peppers made in Israel.

    He immediately contacted local authorities who in turn contacted the Lebanese Army.

    Members of military intelligence and police arrived to Spinneys to discover 13 similar bags that have the word “Israel” printed on the sale tag.

    Police also noticed that the international bar code for the items was scratched with a blue pen and a new code was handwritten on the bag.

    The case was then referred to the military judiciary for investigation into how the products made it through the customs department at the port or the airport.

    Spinneys had a similar incident almost ten years ago when shoppers discovered mugs made in Israel being sold at the retailer.

  3. OT-Car B cue in France – 1193 cars burned last night ( including 77 police cars :

    Car burnings and general mayhem on the night of New Year’s Even have become part of the ritual of Muslim violence in France. Muslim “jeunes” in certain cities or estates compete to beat one another’s record. For this reason, and of course because it helps conceal the disastrous failure of the policy of allowing non-Europeans to colonise Europe, there had been talk of banning publication of these figures altogether. But the numbers have just been released by the French Interior Minister.

  4. The Religion of peace, in the season of peace and goodwill to all men, shows yet again, that it stands second to none, when it comes to peace and love.

    Happy New Year Iftty. You have the chance to accept the grace of God through Jesus. There is of course the chance that some wandering Muslim will murder you for leaving Islam, but that is just one of the sad consequences of being a Muslim.

  5. Happy New Year Eeyore. All the very best for 2013.

    —————————————————-
    Sooner or later, you will have to stop Iffty using your resources to spread his message, free of cost. This is a typical Islamic tactic – use the resources of the Kuffar to defeat him.

  6. Iffy is every where. At least he is in more places than his Al Lah. The name of his god is The Lah. if you look at at the arabic the Al is separate. A bit like Al Koran.

  7. Ifthicktard, may you free your damaged soul from the black prison of Islam. Stand and walk as a free human being rather than a slave of the dark prince. You don’t have much time before the mobs will come for you.

  8. Much has been written and spoken about “Muslims as minorities in the West” but unfortunately there has been very little depth and substance in these discussions in the crucial matters.
    There is no difference between English mentality and Hindu mentality. According to a Hindu politician, Allama Iqbal was worshiped because he has written a Taranna, “Sarai Jahan se Acha Hindustan humra” but when he campaigned for a separate land for Indian Muslims, he became a villain. `The great man like Iqbal could not be trusted and how a common Indian Muslim could be trusted. The same mentality is prevailing in the United Kingdom. Muslims are treated like “economic slaves” having no culture, language and faith. British schooling has been trying to anglocising Muslim children. Bilingual Muslim parents are being asked to speak English at home with their children instead of Urdu because majority of Muslims are from Pakistan. Without Urdu language, they find themselves cut off from their cultural heritage and they are unable to enjoy the beauty of their literature and poetry.

    Why do Muslims come to Europe, one wonders….and why do we allow them to? Did someone ask your opinion before letting Muslims come to Europe as you say? I think you have very little say in the matter, and perhaps that’s why you’re so angry. Cultural diversity, open borders and an end to blatant racism is the only answer. England is big enough for 70 million or more. To be honest, I would be prefer to live in a Britain of immigrants than intolerant bigots.

    To be honest – Therein lies the problem for a Muslim. Don’t you think it is easier to live in a Muslim country full of tolerant Muslims, and leave us to ourselves. But of course you wont do that. Hypocrisy is the hallmark of Muslims, and it does not sit with honesty.

  10. muslim country full of tolerant muslims,,, such a place does not exist besides they would not be able to claim benefits in a muslim country
