It is not Islam and Muslims who are the roots of all the problems. Actually,
British society has been creating problems for the Muslim community for the last 60 years..
The Muslim community has been vicitm of Paki-bashing in all walks of life
by the British society and Establishment for the last 60 years. Now it is
vicitm of terrorism by the British Establishment. Thousands of Muslim
youths are being serched in the streets and hundreds of them are behind the bar
without any trial.
State schools with non-Muslim monolingual teachers are not suitable for
Muslim children. This is the reason why majority of them leave schools with
low grades. Bilingual Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school. There are hundreds of state and church schools where Muslim children are in majority. In my opinion, all such schools may be opted out as Muslim Academies.
God has created diverse human beings to live in this tiny global villageas
of one family. Creation by its very nature is deverse with different
species, different communities, different cultures and languages. These
differences represent the beauty and wonder but diversity is sometimes not
fully appreciated, resulting in all sorts of clashes. The British society
and Establishment must learn to respect and accommodate others, as if in a family.
A Muslim is a citizen of this tiny global village. He/she does not want to
become notoriously monolingual Brit. He/she is supposed to be well versed
in standard English, Arabic, Urdu and other community languages, to be part
of the Britisah society, as well as proud of his/her cultural roots and enjoy
the beauty of his/her literature and poetry.
