Muslims make up less than 5% of the UK population but their demands for change remain ceaseless and have an increasing impact on the overwhelming non-Muslim majority. Despite bleatings from government ministers that Muslims living in the UK must do more to integrate and embrace some manufactured civic sense of “Britishness” in reality Labour ministers are well aware that they can no longer rely on the white working class for their support and need to appease the bloc vote of the Muslim community and attempt to repair the damage done to Labour’s credibility after its illegal involvement in the Middle East.
Just a few days ago the Muslim Council of Britain set out a detailed list of demands to change Britain’s schools into Taliban-style centres of learning. The arrogant demands are the most comprehensive yet revealed by the Jihadists who want to bring the UK into the embrace of Islam – a very likely outcome unless our own elected rulers deliver a polite but firm “no” to any further demand from the Muslim community. The MCB claims to be the voice of “moderate Muslims” but if even a fraction of the demands were met the damage done to British society would exceed that of a dozen terror suicide bomber extremists.
The report, Towards Greater Understanding – Meeting The Needs of Muslim Pupils In State Schools, says all schools should bring in effective bans for all pupils on ‘un-Islamic activities’ like dance classes.
Ramadan restrictions
It also wants to limit certain activities during Ramadan. They include science lessons dealing with sex, parents’ evenings, exams and immunisation programmes.
The holy month – when eating and drinking is not allowed in daylight hours – should also see a ban on swimming lessons in case pupils swallow water in the pool.
When swimming is allowed, boys should wear clothing covering their bodies ‘from the navel to the neck’, even during single-sex pool sessions, while girls must be covered up completely at all times, apart from the face and hands.
The MCB adds that schools should ensure contact sports, including football and basketball, ‘are always in single-gender groups’.
Even school trips are targeted in the report, which wants them all to be made single-sex ‘to encourage greater participation from Muslim pupils’.
It wants Arabic language classes for Muslim pupils, and says the Koran should be recited in music classes. And all schools should ensure they have prayer rooms with washing facilities attached, it says.
In art classes, Muslim children should not be allowed to draw people, as this is forbidden under some interpretations of Islamic law.
And while the MCB insists that all British children should learn about Islam, it wants Muslims to have the right to withdraw their children from RE lessons dealing with Christianity and other faiths.
Even raffle tickets – often sold by schools to raise badly needed funds for school trips are condemned as a form of gambling.
Special treatment
The MCB says special treatment and opt-outs are necessary because otherwise Muslim pupils will feel excluded from school activities and lessons.
A degree of concern should be raised at the involvement of the Labour regime in this report because Professor of Education Tim Brighouse, who is also the chief adviser for London schools was present at the launch on Wednesday (21st).
No Labour minister has yet replied to the demands but one outspoken Conservative MP Greg Hands said: ‘The MCB needs to realise it has to move closer to the rest of the community, not away from it.
‘The presence of Tim Brighouse implies Government backing of this report. This is very worrying.’
Terry Sanderson of the National Secular Society said the report was a ‘recipe for disaster’.
He added: ‘Schools with even just a handful of Muslim kids will find they have to follow these guidelines because there aren’t the staff to have one set of classes for Muslims and another for the rest.
‘The MCB shouldn’t try to force its religious agenda on children who may not want it. The Government needs to send the MCB packing. Schools should be about teaching, not preaching.’
