RESIDENTS across Harrow have vented their anger about proposals to have Halal-only menus in primary schools in the borough. Meat is meat. What does it matter how it’s killed? These stupid parents should find other things to whine about.
I'm glad you think so. Now can you go away and tell Muslims that.
All children should be offered a choice. That way Muslims can eat what they want and non-Muslims can eat what they want.
So if a Muslim child refuses to eat Halal meat, would that be tolerated by their parents?
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.
Will Muslim schools also teach secular humanism and the arguments against theism?
I agree that teaching comparative religion is good. The children will soon realise all religions are complete bs.
There are couples of state schools in Harrow where Muslim children are in majority. In my opinion, all such schools may be opted out as Muslim Academies so that non-Muslim children could enjoy their own meals in their own schools.
One way street again, eh!
Furthermore, you seem to want to divide and segregate communities rather than unite and integrate communities. This, as you know, is a recipe for disaster -- a recipe for extremism, bigotry, and a perpetuation of the human rights abuses you see in developing countries. I mean things like domestic violence, forced marriages, honour killings, lack of womens rights or LGBT rights etc.
Moreover, do you really want non-Muslim schools to deny Muslims living in the area/town a place in the school??
And what kind of Muslim school will it be? Which sect? Who decides? There are several different sects within Islam, and they already have their own Mosques.
There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school.
What?? How would the Muslims react if someone made the reciprocal statement?? You love tolerance when it is shown to you, but you want to be very intolerant towards non-Muslims.
Multicultural Britain has a relatively large broad trilingual population whose skills are under recognised and understood.Those skills should be used as a bonus, but British schooling has been trying its best to discourage them not to learn and speak their mother tongues. According to an anthropological linguist, when a language dies, its heritage and identity will die with it. There is a positive co-relation between language and culture. Language and culture are interconnected.
Immigrants who willingly migrate to the West should not be surprised when they find that their culture or the culture of their children is being lost. That's what happens, dude! Cultures constantly evolve. What else do you expect?? Get into the real world.
