Bilingual Muslims children have a right, as much as any other faith group, to be taught their culture, languages and faith alongside a mainstream curriculum. More faith schools will be opened under sweeping reforms of the education system in England. There is a dire need for the growth of state funded Muslim schools to meet the growing needs and demands of the Muslim parents and children. Now the time has come that parents and community should take over the running of their local schools. Parent-run schools will give the diversity, the choice and the competition that the wealthy have in the private sector. Parents can perform a better job than the Local Authority because parents have a genuine vested interest. The Local Authority simply cannot be trusted.

West is still racist, xenophobic and Islamophobic. It is unable to forget and forgive the seige of Vienna in 1683.
The so called terrorism in Islam is just like a 'mole-hill', when compared to a mountain of 'Western domination & terrorism'.
The so called "Western" Society has much larger & serious questions to answer than any Islamic Mulla or Islamic Extremist. When I see that Islam is being targeted as evil and barbaric - I cannot help but find what the so called 'Modern Western Civilization' has to offer - the worst things packaged in attractive sheets !

There is no such right as to be taught in one's language in a foreign country. Are Muslims willing to give up Takiyya, genital mutiliation, beheadings, amputations for theft, wife beating, honor killings, acid in the face of non-compliant females, refusals to fully educate females.
Hey, when you renounce these, lets talk. When you let non-Mullims have ordinary civil rights in your native countries, lets talk. Meanwhile go to CitizenWarrier.com and learn how your religion is imcompatable with the West. And yes, Mr. 'ppk' plain white people have rights too including to have their heritage preserved without justification, defensiveness or shame.
If all the other cultures are OK, white people's are too. Read INFILTRATION. In Denmark, Mulsims are 5% of the population and use 40% of welfare. In Sweeden atleast 50% of rapes are by Muslims. With stats like those just what right do you have to demand a thing of any host country. Stated another way, why would anyone want you around?
Virtually everything stated here is false. At least to Westerners, because these statements are a complete denial of historical truth, are actually complete inversions of the truth. But said statements are flattering to Islam, and that is the only standard for truth in the Muslim world. Therefore, they must be "true", they literally cannot be untrue.
I 'm not sure that Muslims are even aware that they are lying, because that would necessitate the realization that Islam can be wrong at times, a concept that is fundamentally inimical to the structure of Islamic reasoning.
It's really sad. Islamic scholars made the use of Western, Aristotelian logic punishable by death in the Middle Ages, and we see the effects of this to this very day.
And this is why it is almost always a waste of time to engage Muslims in any form of religious or philosophical event. They operate on a completely different of logical tools that we cannot understand.
