   That’s a picture of our old friend Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the unindicted co-conspirator in terror and Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood front, CAIR.

   Almost all children now believe they go to school to pass exams. The idea that they may be there for an education is irrelevant. State schools have become exam factories, interested only in A to C Grades. They do not educate children. Exam results do not reflect a candidate’s innate ability. Employers have moaned for years that too many employees cannot read or write properly. According to a survey, school-leavers and even graduates lack basic literacy and numeracy skills. More and more companies are having to provide remedial training to new staff, who can’t write clear instructions, do simple maths, or solve problems. Both graduates and school-leavers were also criticised for their sloppy time-keeping, ignorance of basic customer service and lack of self-discipline.

   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.

   The British Government is planning to make it easier to schools to “opt out” from the Local Authorities. Muslim children in state schools feel isolated and confused about who they are. This can cause dissatisfaction and lead them into criminality, and the lack of a true understanding of Islam can ultimately make them more susceptible to the teachings of fundamentalists like Christians during the middle ages and Jews in recent times in Palestine. Fundamentalism is nothing to do with Islam and Muslim; you are either a Muslim or a non-Muslim.

   There are hundreds of state primary and secondary schools where Muslim pupils are in majority. In my opinion all such schools may be opted out to become Muslim Academies. This mean the Muslim children will get a decent education. Muslim schools turned out balanced citizens, more tolerant of others and less likely to succumb to criminality or extremism. Muslim schools give young people confidence in who they are and an understanding of Islam’s teaching of tolerance and respect which prepares them for a positive and fulfilling role in society. Muslim schools are attractive to Muslim parents because they have better discipline and teaching Islamic values. Children like discipline, structure and boundaries. Bilingual Muslim children need Bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods, who understand their needs and demands.

   None of the British Muslims convicted following the riots in Bradford and Oldham in 2001 or any of those linked to the London bombings had been to Islamic schools. An American Think Tank studied the educational back ground of 300 Jihadists; none of them were educated in Pakistani Madrasas. They were all Western educated by non-Muslim teachers. Bilingual Muslim children need bilingual Muslim teachers as role models. A Cambridge University study found that single-sex classes could make a big difference for boys. They perform better in single-sex classes. The research is promising because male students in the study saw noticeable gains in the grades. The study confirms the Islamic notion that academic achievement is better in single-sex classes.

   All of the above gives one the idea
   that Islam/Muslim beliefs are
   innocent, loving, compassionate.

   When in reality, we find hundreds
   of cases where it is brutal, cruel
   and unjust; stoning a woman for
   adultery, cutting out the tongue
   or removing the hands/fingers
   of a so-called ‘infidel’

   The action of saving ‘honor’
   by killing one’s one child
   because she has the courage to
   leave Islamism for Christianity,
   forcing women to wear outlandish
   clothing/veils, giving children
   who are still in their pre-teens
   to depraved old men, in marriage,
   and the list goes on.

   The Koran is not a mirror
   of the Bible.
   It is just the opposite.
   Allah.. is not GOD, our Creator.

   When Muslims decide to make America
   their homeland, then they should
   abide by American beliefs and leave
   the barbaric actions/beliefs in
   their former country.

   To continue to instill within
   school children the Muslim ways
   of conducting themselves in
   society, is only perpetuating
   their confidence that the
   attacks upon their own kind
   are acceptable to the rest of
   the world. WRONG.

   “…the Islamic community must work harder to convey the message Muslims want to assimilate in America as other immigrants have in U.S. history…”

   “Muslims who are U.S. citizens are required by their faith to follow the laws of America…”

   Are the above quotes simpley rhetoric or truthful statements. What does it mean to assimnilate? “following the laws of America”–that is pretty clear.
