An attempt is being made in Bradford to safeguard the estimated 9,000 children who attend Muslim religious schools in the city. But the National Secular Society says it is not enough and that a legal framework is urgently needed to control the network of madrassas.

Bradford Council for Mosques, Bradford Safeguarding Children Board, NSPCC, and West Yorkshire Police worked together over the last 12 months to produce Children Do Matter. The study looks at issues including child protection, staff recruitment, bad practice and child abuse.

The usual spin is put on the value of madrassas, the so-called "schools" that indoctrinate children in Islamic teachings (for instance, Kath Tunstall, Strategic Director of Children's Services in Bradford, writes: "Masajid and Madaaris play a significant role in promoting the spiritual and social development of children, enhancing their self-esteem and positive identity.").

The physical punishment in the mosques is a big problem. It has toned down from what it was like in the 90s. Hopefully there is a full disclosure of what is actually taught in these institutions. The claims made when I was a kid and the stuff that is taught to youths really is quite wacky. For instance the jinn building the pyramids, mohammed bieng the first man in space and I've noticed that more mosques are teaching kids to mistrust the kuffar.
