Becaues private school and religious schools are different...
Private schools are generally the ones which excel in education and religious schools uphold whatever religion that school is based on.
My point is that I don't see anything wrong with the state funded religious schools, not private schools.

Um I disagree to an extent, speaking as an Englishman, we invited many nationalities to this country who have subsequently held our economy afloat, I think the least they can expect is to have their faith represented within education and the choice to use it. Maybe state should pay for this and and encourage economic growth when pupils receive education in an environment condusive to better outcomes. like I said its a bit idealistic but on paper it makes sense

Muslim pupils can choose Islam for their religious studies.
Integration is what the state should work for and I don't think funding religious schools is a step in the right direction.
Bilingual or even-more-lingual teachers in public schools are a good idea though.

Its a good point and yes bilingual teachers could have huge impact, my kids are new in school and when Eid came and Diwali the children were allowed there own clothes for a day, but xmas is here and its holidays, plays (nativity) and parties, I think there is a compromise but in an idealistic world I still think faiths and there offspring would benefit from faith schools. For instance a Muslim child should begin salaat prayers from 7 yrs old, school could cover this. I think your idea would work, but I think mine would be perfect (ish), and I still think it should be state funded (hyperthetically).:?

I am against public school setting up nativity plays.
You see, I just don't think the state should pay for children to learn their prayers in time..
And as I said, having Muslim children in Muslim schools will lead into more social distortion between minorities and majorities.
Besides, if the state decides to finance religous schools, it should fund all non-public schools which I am sure would be to expensive.

We have to differ on prayer. Get your point on social distortion, yes we should be intergrated andsocially included. Again idealistically we stop building roads, wars and illegal immigration and put money into schools. Maybe have mixed schools and allow pupils of different faiths to have days or half days to study individual religions. Are we getting near a compromise my friend

That's exactly the point. The state should support tolerant, inclusive, multi-faith and at the same time secular schools.
