Islamism attempting to subvert education system in British City

Yep. I've seen this in the news. It's awful. But once again, there is only an issue in the news because it's Muslims doing it. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely not okay to be doing what they're doing, but if you live in the UK, look up your local schools and you will almost certainly find that the majority of schools around you are Christian schools that will push Christianity on children to some degree, and any secular schools that are near you (if you have any at all near you) will probably be have a reputation for being shit schools. So parents have a choice between sending their kid to a Christian school, or a shit school. What kind of choice is that?

Anyway, my issue is, if people and the press can understand that it's wrong to push Islam on school children, surely they can see that it's also wrong to push Christianity on children the way we have been doing pretty much since schools have existed here? Or maybe the issue isn't with pushing religion on kids, maybe the issue is just with Islam. There is a trend in our press for singling out Islam and Muslims when they do horrible shit that other religious groups are also guilty of. I don't like it. It feels like bullying to me, because your every day Muslim you're likely to meet, work with or be friends with isn't going to be an extremist moron, but the news seems to be pushing people to think they're all dangerous. We just need to get ALL religion out of here altogether and stop picking on fucking minority groups.

I guess it's an issue because the schools are mostly (but not all) based in so a called 'Islamic' communities (I hate that terminology, but I struggle to think of a different term).

I agree regarding secular schools vis religious school. I earned a place in a grammar school so I had a great secular education with kids who'd been indoctrinated into all sorts of different religions, but if it wasn't there I'd have probably ended up at a faith school, which is just so wrong.

I guess the tactics to shutting down religious schools once and for all is by raising the standards in comprehensives to be on par, which is a no brainer if you think about it, but is so difficult to achieve.
