Re: British schools sent for an early bath.
 

Halal meals are on the school dinner menus of all schools here already;I don't have a problem with that but the segregated bathing is taking it a bit too far.We all showered together when i was at secondary school,under the VERY watchful eyes of 2 lesbian PE teachers.

Doesnt suprise me!

Re: British schools sent for an early bath.
 

I'm totally against it and feel as strongly as other members but is this really what Muslim people want or is it just the suggestion of this group. Cubicles in changing rooms are something that I think all children of a certain age would want, I think I must have gone to the same school as Lindsay ( 2 lesbian PE teachers) I know given a choice I would've been in one.

Re: British schools sent for an early bath.
 

There are plenty of other religious/cultural/ethnic groups in this country like Jews, Sikhs, Hindus, Chinese who maintain their own distinct identity, yet (with occasional exceptions) don't continually ask for special treatment. I don't have figures to hand but I believe that some of these groups are greater numerically than the Muslim population. So why is it that Muslim organisations seem to be forever airing their grievances and demanding that we adapt to their culture? And are these organisations truly representative of the Muslim population? I work with a guy who's a practising Muslim. He goes off to an empty office to do his praying everyday, but he despises those Muslims who want to emphasise their difference and demand that our society changes to fit in with their principles. I'd be interested to hear what Muslim members of this forum like Mani think about this.

Re: British schools sent for an early bath.
 

I'll bet they close down on Christian holidays, too. Sometimes it's just a practical matter that enough folks won't be coming in to the office, so closing down is practical. For example, in some towns near here schools close for Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah, because they can't get enough substitute teachers to cover the classes. They also close for Good Friday and Christmas.

Re: British schools sent for an early bath.
 

2 Lesbian PE teachers..hang on would that be the 10% of the PE teachers?
to be honest I don't see anything wrong with ALL children having the facility of seperate showers..come to think of it there did seem to be some very strange PE teachers standing at the showers door when we had communial shower rooms.

Re: British schools sent for an early bath.
 

True point, it must be part of pe teachers rule book, Lindsay must of gone to the same school as me then :rolleyes:

Re: British schools sent for an early bath.
 

this rubbish that the muslim council has come up with, acheives nothing apart from fuel for the BNP. it really winds me up Big Time.:mad:

Re: British schools sent for an early bath.
 

Quite agree. It's these unelected people who spout this clap trap, and pretend they are talking for all Muslims, are the ones who are creating a backlash, and a rise in support from the far right.

Re: British schools sent for an early bath.
 

It wants Arabic language classes for Muslim pupils, and says the Koran should be recited in music classes.

The more you read about this report the dafter it becomes.

Re: British schools sent for an early bath.
 

Interesting to see that other muslim groups are not backing these proposals. Also, somewhat worrying that the Muslim Council of Britain appears to have the ear of Blair and that a senior government adviser will be attending the launch of this campaign today.

If the government has any common sense, it will give these proposals short shrift. Sadly, common sense is a commodity that appears to be in very short supply amongst those who govern us.
