Diversity God has created diverse human beings to live in this tiny global village of one family. Creation by its very nature is diverse
with different species, different communities, different cultures and languages.
These differences represent the beauty and wonder but diversity is sometimes not
fully appreciated, resulting in all sorts of clashes. The British society and
Establishment must learn to respect and accommodate others, as if in a family.
A civilisation is measured not by the rights it grants its majority but the privileges it allows its minorities. Muslim families
are as entitled as any other religious group to schools that nurture their
children's faith. Muslim pupils should be educated in Muslim schools because the
current system is marginalising them. Teaching Muslim children in a Muslim
school would remove the "problem of them being exposed" to values that conflict
with Islamic faith. Muslim pupils are disadvantaged and marginalised in the
city's state schools because the cultural heritage of the curriculum is
"European and Christian". Multiculturalism is not about integration but about cultural plurality. It is not about separation but about respect and the
deepening awareness of Unity in Diversity. Each culture will maintain its own
intrinsic value and at the same time would be expected to contribute to the
benefit of the whole society. Multiculturalism can accommodate diversity of all
kinds – cultural, philosophical and religious – so that we can create a world
without conflict and strife. Britain can assume the role of accommodation and
concern for all peoples, for our planet and indeed for our survival.
Multi-Culturalism is even more important and crucial after 9/11 and 7/7. Muslim
youths are also likely to feel alienated by a focus on shared Brutishness,
rather than multicultural diversity. Rather than promoting a single British “us”
teaching should acknowledge that “us” can be diverse and plural. Children should
be encouraged to explore differences in appearance, history and religion to
reduce social and educational fears. In the
late 80s and early 90s, when I floated the idea of Muslim community schools, I
was declared a "school hijacker" by an editorial in the Newham Recorder
newspaper in east London. This clearly shows that the British media does not
believe in choice and diversity in the field of education and has no respect for
those who are different. Muslim schools, in spite of meager resources, have
excelled to a further extent this year, with couple of schools achieving 100%
A-C grades for five or more GCSEs. They beat well resourced state and
independent schools in Birmingham and Hackney. Muslim schools are doing better
because a majority of the teachers are Muslim. The pupils are not exposed to the
pressures of racism, multiculturalism and bullying.
Indiscipline, incivility, binge drinking, drug addiction, gun and knife crimes, teenage pregnancies and abortion are part and parcel of British
schooling. These are the reasons why majority of Muslim parents would like to
send their children to Muslim schools with Muslim teachers as role models during
their developmental periods. Only less than 10% attend Muslim schools and more
than 90% keep on attending state and church schools to be mis-educated and
de-educated by non-Muslim monolingual teachers. None of 7/7 bombers and British Muslim youths who are in Syria and Iraq are the product of Muslim schools. They are the product of British
schooling which is the home of institutional racism with chicken racist native
teachers. It is absurd to believe that Muslim schools, Imams and Masajid teach
Muslim children anti-Semitic, homophobic and anti-western views. It is
dangerously deceptive and misleading to address text books and discuss them out
of their historical, cultural and linguistic context. It is not wrong to teach
children that Jews are committing the same cruelty in Palestine what German did
to them before or during Second World War. It is not wrong to teach children
that anti-social behaviour, drinking, drugs, homosexuality, sex before marriage,
teenage pregnancies and abortions are western values and Islam is against all
such sins. This does not mean that Muslim schools teach children to hate
westerners, Jews and homosexuals.The demand for Muslim schools comes from parents who want their children a safe environment with an Islamic ethos.
Parents see Muslim schools where children can develop their Islamic Identity
where they won't feel stigmatised for being Muslims and they can feel confident
about their faith. Muslim schools are working to try to create a bridge between
communities. There is a belief among ethnic minority parents that the British
schooling does not adequately address their cultural needs. Failing to meet this
need could result in feeling resentment among a group who already feel excluded.
Setting up Muslim school is a defensive response. State schools with monolingual
teachers are not capable to teach English to bilingual Muslim children.
Bilingual teachers are needed to teach English to such children along with their
mother tongue. According to a number of studies, a child will not learn a second
language if his first language is ignored.You better teach your children in your own schools and let migrant communities teach
their children according to their needs and demands. British Establishment and
society should concentrate on the evils of their own society and stop trying to
change the way of life of Muslims. Muslim community does not want to integrate
with the British society, indulging in incivility, anti-social behaviour, drug
and knife culture, binge drinking, teenage pregnancies and abortion. Prince
Charles, while visiting the first grant maintained Muslim school in north
London, said that the pupils would be the future ambassadors of Islam. But what
about thousands of others, who attend state schools deemed to be "sink schools"?
In education, there should be a choice and at present it is denied to the Muslim
community. I set up the first Muslim school in London in 1981. Now there are 188
Muslim schools and only 28 are state funded. I would like to see each and every
Muslim child in a state funded Muslim schools with Muslim teachers. I hope one
day my dream would come true. A report by the Institute for Community Cohesion
found that native parents were deserting some schools after finding their
children out numbered by pupils from ethnic minorities. Schools in parts of
England are becoming increasingly segregated. The study focused on 13 local
authorities. Many of the schools and colleges are segregated and this was
generally worsening over recent years. This is RACISM because British society is
the home of institutional racism. My statement regarding Muslim schools where
there is no place for non-Muslim child or a teacher is based on educational
process and not on racism. Muslim children need Muslim teachers during their
developmental periods. For higher studies and research, Muslim teacher is not a
priority. Stop treating foreigners like garbage and they will stop ruining your precious country. Why did you let them in in the
first place if you didn't want them here? They left everything in their
countries because of your promises. Are you so anxious to please that you can't
say "no"? I would love to see you go to a foreign land where you don't have any
friends, you don't even know anyone and you don't speak the language, and start
from scratch. I would just LOVE to watch you do that. Let them integrate and
stop segregating them. What I want is people being nice to each other. I don't
care about race. The whole of British society needs diversity awareness course.
Even all British MPs who are the product of British education system which made
them stupid, selfish and corrupt. The native Brits must learn to respect and
tolerate those who are different. You have failed to respect and tolerate Black
community, who speaks your language, share your culture and faith. English,
Irish, Welsh and Scott hate each other, sharing the same culture, faith and
language. It is difficult for you to accept, respect and tolerate Muslims with
different culture, languages and FAITH. You have no choice but to accept them
for your own survival.

The host community must learn to respect and tolerate those who are different. Muslim immigrants have been arriving here
because their skills are needed by the society and economy. With out constant
flow of immigrants British society and economy would bleed to death. It is the
duty of the host community to open their doors to invite immigrants for a cup of
tea and listen to their issues and problems. Immigrants, legal or illegal are
the creators of Britain new wealth, otherwise, inner cities deprived areas could
not get new lease of life. The native Brits regard such areas as ghettoes.
Integration is not religious and cultural, it is economic and Muslims are well
integrated into British society and at the same time they are proud of their
Islamic, linguistic and cultural identities, inspite of discrimination they have
been facing in all walks of life. According to UN, 80% of British Muslims feel
discriminated. They are less burden on social services. Immigrants made up 8.7%
of the population, but accounted for 10.2% of all collected income
tax.

Muslim community in all western countries need Masajid, state funded Muslim schools, Halal meat, sharia laws, time off for
Friday afternoon prayers in the Masjid, two religious holidays per year and
Muslim cemeteries. West must learn to respect and tolerate those who are
different. Don't these hypocrites idiots know what their ancestors did to Native
American Indians they slaughtered 150 millions of Native American Indians! and
also do they know that Great Britain invaded 80% countries around the world?
They should call them terrorist first and as well call their ancestors
terrorist! British did the same to Native American Indians and sadly they still
treat Native American Indians badly! So Americans Indians know how you Muslims
feel! They stolen Indian land and killed 150 millions of Indians the British
did! They were forced to go to the white man's school and learn the language,
culture and faith of the white man. Inspite of that, they are still the
underdogs of the American society.
