Islamism attempting to subvert education system in British City

[Fidel_Castronaut]

Agree with the above, however the difference in Britain is that religion's public face is so subdued, and the people so apathetic to it, that any religious interference in the public sector does get big headline news, although it certainly is more pronounced when 'minority' religions are involved.

But the larger issue is the fact that so called 'community' relations amongst some sectors of inner cities in Britain are at an all time low and getting lower. Nobody really cared or even thought about how migrant populations would integrate into British society, and now we all live with the consequences; British social policy working more to concentrate on what divides people over what unites them.

FWIW I think Islam is a pretty despicable and barbaric religion, and any influence it gets in,well, anything is a negative where everyone comes out a looser. But then I hold that opinion of pretty much every religion, but Islam does seem much more antagonistic in British local politics than any of the others, speaking from personal experience (I've been researching into the influence of religion in local politics in my home city for many years now, and was an assistant academic advisor to local education boards looking to review their religious education policies).
