Regarding my last entry: "Sharia Law is here to stay" I wonder why these lefty feminists who say they  love people of all races and believe that diversity enriches our culture have absolutally no comment about the injustices commited against women in the name of Allah?

 

Perhaps they quite like the idea or more likely they are too shit scared to say what they really think. Anybody who believes that we can 'Educate' Muslims to behave in a civilised manner is kidding themselves, they are missing the point. According to the Koran it is the duty of every Muslim to take over and convert to Islam every land where they reside. They have no intention of adopting western Christian ways or our culture. They simply do not belong in civilised Western Christian Countries, to them we are the infidel, the enemy. Gangs of them are attacking and raping white people all over Europe every day. Just how much longer can we be expected to put up with this Islamification of our Nation? J.H.

Frontline troops go short

as we pay for schools

in Pakistan

 

Pakistani Nuclear Missile that we pay for that will one day be pointed at us

There is a bit of tiff between the forces at the moment as a £4 billion deal has been done to build two long overdue aircraft carriers for our, no bigger than a boating club, Royal Navy.

The deal also follows criticisms last week from the family of a Marine killed in Afghanistan that the Government was not properly equipping soldiers. The parents of Gary Wright, who was killed in a 2006 suicide bombing, were responding to evidence that body armour attachments had not been available until after his death.

It was also revealed only last month that plans for a new generation of 'stealth' warships are being drastically scaled back to save cash. The fleet of Type 45 destroyers, which protect other ships from air and missile attack, has been slashed from eight to six.

Now I do not know how many proper suits of body armour or proper fighting vehicles we could buy with a billion pounds to kit our troops out but I do know this.

Giving
One Billion Pounds to Pakistan to build schools to tack poor literacy is not the way to go whilst our boys and girls are dying because of poor equipment. But hey, this is politics and our dhimmi leaders are sucking up the Moslem votes to keep them in power.

Please read this previous article

Current Muslim Wannabe Number 1



Mad Lord Phillips of Frontal Lobotomy

Turban of Death awarded for driving another nail into the coffin of Muslim Women's Human Rights.

 

It's no secret that Britain has more than its fair share of mad men at every level of its judicial system. It would appear that a severe dose of senile dementia is a pre-requisite for any junior judge with aspirations of reaching positions of real responsibility and power. Unfortunately, whilst Lord Phillips et al congratulate themselves on achieving ever increasing heights of ridiculous law-making, the rest of us have to live with the consequences.

 

This latest travesty has seen the country's most senior fruit-loop publicly support a decision that will make the lives of thousands of Muslim women a misery. By giving parts of Sharia law legal recognition in the UK, Muslim women will now legally be at the mercy of their husbands. In theory it should be a joint decision to go down the Sharia route, but as Muslim women are still seen as chattels to most Muslim men the decision of the husband (and other male family members) will, as always, come through.

 

Any sane and rational human being will see this as the thin end of the wedge. One can only hope that as the announcement was made in front of an audience of Muslims, Lord Phillips actually feared for his life should he have said anything to upset them and that he has no intention of carrying out his threat to consign Muslim women across the country to a life of servitude without hope.

 

A legal system based on a book which openly supports a husband 'lightly beating his disobedient wife' is highly unlikely to offer an optimistic future for any female unfortunate enough to be born into the death cult we all know as Islam.

 

In Lord Phillip's defence it should be noted that he ran the BSE inquiry from 1998-2000 and appears to have contracted the condition widely known as Mad Cow Disease during that time.

Priority shift for foreigners

Last updated: 04 July 2008 at 15:03 GMT


British citizens with families subject to immigration control will be entitled....

 

British citizens with families subject to immigration control will be entitled to priority housing if they become homeless, under a change to the Housing and Regeneration Bill.

The amendment, passed in the House of Lords last week, will apply to British, Commonwealth or European Union citizens with a foreign child or pregnant wife.

 

For example, a homeless British man with a non-EU nationality child will now be entitled to family housing assistance.

Speaking in the House of Lords, junior housing minister Baroness Andrews encouraged councils to use the private sector, but said social housing could be offered to 'bring the duty to an end'.

The move follows test cases which found the human rights of a British citizen were breached by the system's disregard for their family.

Named and shamed:

MPs who voted to keep

their generous expenses

as Brown expresses

disappointment

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 3:14 PM on 04th July 2008


 

Gordon Brown today said he was 'disappointed' at the result of the vote on expenses in which MPs voted to carry on spending taxpayers' money on furniture and home improvements.

 

More than 30 senior Government figures were among the 146 Labour MPs who voted to keep their generous expenses.

They included Andy Burnham - Culture; Caroline Flint - Housing; Paul Murphy - Wales; Jacqui Smith - Home Secretary; and Shaun Woodward - Northern Ireland.

The Prime Minister came under fire for ducking the vote last night in which MPs rejected moves to tighten the rules on their generous expenses.
The vote came just hours after MPs had agreed to peg their pay rise back to 2.25 per cent.

Nick Brown - Deputy Chief Whip
Alan Campbell - Whip
Angela Eagle - Treasury Minister
Maria Eagle - Ministry of Justice

House of Commons vote

Vote: MPs decided to keep their 'John Lewis list' expense claim

 

'The Prime Minister has always made clear that he is in favour of any move that would enhance transparency,' Mr Brown's spokesman said.

He said that Mr Brown had decided not to vote himself as it became clear that the reform plans were going to be defeated.

Instead he decided to carry on working in Downing Street as it was his last working day in London before next week's G8 summit in Japan.

 


'There was a lot of Government business to get through,' the spokesman said.

He refused to be drawn on those ministers - as well as Mr Brown's parliamentary aides Ian Austin and Angela Smith - who voted against the changes.

'How individual MPs vote is a matter for them. MPs were voting on a free vote,' he said.

 

During the vote, one of the Prime Minister’s aides allegedly told Shadow Chancellor George Osborne to ‘**** off, you toff’, while Conservative leader David Cameron was embroiled in a spat with a female Labour MP.

Brown was also criticised for failing to swing his Cabinet, whose members have a basic salary of £138,000, behind the expenses clean-up.

 

Mr Brown's Commons aides Ian Austin and Angela Smith were among those who voted to keep their 'snouts in the trough'.
They were joined by Ulster Secretary Shaun Woodward whose wife, Camilla Sainsbury, has a reported personal fortune of £100million.

 

The review was spearheaded by Speaker Michael Martin after a series of recent expenses controversies. 

Under the planned shake-up, the second homes allowance would have been capped at £19,600 a year to cover accommodation, with a £30 daily subsistence rate.

 

As a result of the vote, the Additional Costs Allowance, worth £24,006 to cover the costs of living near Parliament and running a second home, stays in place. 
proposed ban on claims under the so-called John Lewis list was also thrown out, so MPs will continue to be free to charge iPods, dishwashers and improvements for their second homes to the public purse.

Instead of a plan for external audits on expenses claims covering up to a quarter of MPs every year, each member will face internal financial checks just once every four years.

Meanwhile, MPs backed a £6million package to improve their constituency offices, more than doubling the cost of their offices outside Westminster from £2.8million.

 

Inner London MPs will get a £7,500 annual allowance – up from £2,916 – while MPs representing outer London constituencies will still be able to claim the full Additional Costs Allowance, instead of it being halved as proposed.

The 'John Lewis list' is an unofficial guide used by the Parliamentary authorities to determine how much MPs may claim from the taxpayer for kitting out their second homes. 

The list of 38 items is based on prices at the department store and allows MPs to claim for items including a £10,000 kitchen and a £750 TV.

 

Matthew Elliott, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: 'MPs have missed a crucial opportunity to restore faith in Parliament.

Children 'to be given compulsory

sex education from age four'

By Sarah Harris
Last updated at 12:40 AM on 05th July 2008

nursery

Nursery: Charities have said children

should be taught sex education

from age four

 

Children as young as four are set to be given compulsory sex education in primary school.

They will be taught the names of body parts and basic ideas about different relationships.

Government advisers claim that 'gradual education' from such a young age would help to stop children from rushing into sex when they are older.

 

They argue that the sex education that children receive in science classes does not go far enough.

But the recommendations caused a storm of protest yesterday, with family campaigners claiming that the views of parents and teachers are being ignored.

 

Norman Wells, director of the pressure group Family and Youth Concern, said: 'What this is really all about is the sex education establishment trying to force schools to do something many parents - and many teachers - are uncomfortable with.'

At present, primary heads and governors decide whether or not to provide sex education and what it should involve beyond the compulsory science requirements laid down by the national curriculum.

 

They must have a policy on whether or not they provide sex education. If they do provide it, usually in personal, social and health education (PSHE) classes, parents have the right to withdraw their children.

But the fpa - formerly the Family Planning Association - the sexual health advice service Brook and the Sex Education Forum are recommending the introduction of compulsory lessons. They are taking part in a Government review of Sex and Relationship Education (SRE) in primary and secondary schools.

 

The charities sit on a panel, which is currently examining 'the right age to begin teaching what the key messages are and content that young people should receive at each key stage'.

They have pre-empted publication of their final report later this month and publicly announced their recommendation for statutory sex education from primary school onwards. This would bring sex and relationship education on to the curriculum alongside other compulsory subjects such as maths and English.

 

Brook chief executive Simon Blake said: 'All the evidence shows that if you start sex and relationships education early - before children start puberty, before they feel sexual attraction - they start having sex later.

'They are much more likely to use contraception and practise safe sex.'

Anna Martinez, head of the Sex Education Forum, confirmed they are recommending making PSHE statutory to give it 'the high status it deserves as an essential part of all children's education'.

 


 

But Mr Wells said there is no evidence to suggest that starting sex education at the age of four would reduce sexually transmitted infections and abortion rates among teenagers.

 

He added: 'It's quite extraordinary that the fpa and Brook should be calling on the Government to impose something on every child in every school that has no proven benefit whatsoever.

'Schools already have to have a sex education policy, but that policy must be developed in close consultation with parents, and schools must be sensitive to the wishes of parents.

'But the fpa want to take parents out of the equation and remove discretion from schools.

'It's vital that parents' views should continue to be respected and that schools should remain sensitive to parental concerns on such a controversial issue.'

 

A spokesman for the Department for Children, Schools and Families insisted that no final decision has been made by ministers on the subject yet.

He said: 'Effective sex and relationships education is essential for young people to make safe and healthy choices about their lives and prevent early pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.

'That is why Government is currently reviewing the delivery of SRE in schools to improve the quality and consistency of provision to young people.

'The steering group, jointly chaired by Schools Minister Jim Knight and a member of the UK Youth Parliament, will make recommendations to Government later this month.'

Google ordered to hand over

personal details of millions

of YouTube users to Viacom

By Mail Foreign Service
Last updated at 9:18 AM on 04th July 2008

Google was yesterday ordered to hand over the personal details of anyone who has ever watched a YouTube video.

 

The ruling - which has massive privacy implications for millions of internet users - was made as part of the search engine's legal battle with content provider Viacom over allegations of copyright infringement.

 

Under the ruling, Google, which bought YouTube for $1.65 billion (£820 million) in 2006, must hand over to Viacom its viewing log - which includes users' log-in information and their IP address, the code that identifies their computer.

 

Google HQ

Google must hand over the viewing details of every single

person who has watched a video on its website YouTube

 

Although the case is being contested in the U.S., legal experts warned last night that the ruling would almost certainly apply to YouTube users worldwide, including those in the UK. The Electronic Frontier Foundation, an internet freedom campaign group, described the judgment as a ' setback' to online privacy rights.

Viacom, which owns MTV and Paramount Pictures, has alleged that YouTube has done 'little or nothing' to stem the flow of copyrighted material on its site.

 

The company said it had identified more than 150,000 unauthorised clips of its content that had been uploaded.

In one case, the Al Gore documentary An Inconvenient Truth had been viewed 1.5 billion times.

However, Google claims its safeguards already exceed its legal obligations in helping content owners protect their works and says Viacom's lawsuit is a threat to internet freedom.

 

The search engine said it abides by the rules of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which states that as long as sites such as YouTube remove copyright content as soon as it is brought to their attention, they are protected by law from prosecution. Last night, a spokesman for Viacom tried to play down fears that individual YouTube users would be prosecuted.

'Only our legal team has access to the data,' he said. 'We are not going to use it to go after individual users.'

However, the U.S. district court in New York declined Viacom's request that Google be forced to hand over the source code of YouTube - details of how the site works  -  saying it is a trade secret.

 

Catherine Lacavera, Google's senior litigation counsel, said: 'We will ask Viacom to respect users' privacy and allow us to anonymise the logs before producing them under the court's order.'

Simon Davies, a British privacy expert, said: 'The chickens have come home to roost for Google.

'Their arrogance and refusal to listen to friendly advice has resulted in the privacy of tens of millions being placed under threat.'

 

A 'dangerous view' of the world

The popularity of Facebook and other social networking websites could be creating a generation of children with a potentially dangerous view of the world, doctors have warned.

They claim the fast pace of the online world means real life may appear boring and unstimulating to youngsters, leaving many with a distorted view of real life.

 

Some may even place less value on their lives, raising the risk of suicide, psychiatrist Himanshu Tyagi, of the West London Mental Health NHS Trust, told the Royal College of Psychiatrists' annual conference.

Schoolboys punished with

detention for refusing to

kneel in class and pray to Allah

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 11:30 AM on 04th July 2008

Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and 'pray to Allah' during a religious education lesson.

 

Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.

 

They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent - which included wearing Muslim headgear - was a breach of their human rights.

 

Alsager School

Alsager School, near Stoke, has received furious complaints from

parents after two Year 7 boys were punished for refusing to kneel

to Allah during a religious studies class

 

One parent, Sharon Luinen, said: "This isn't right, it's taking things too far.

"I understand that they have to learn about other religions. I can live with that but it is taking it a step too far to be punished because they wouldn't join in Muslim prayer.

 

"Making them pray to Allah, who isn't who they worship, is wrong and what got me is that they were told they were being disrespectful.

 

"I don't want this to look as if I have a problem with the school because I am generally very happy with it." 

Another parent Karen Williams said: "I am absolutely furious my daughter was made to take part in it and I don't find it acceptable.

 

"I haven't got a problem with them teaching my child other religions and a small amount of information doesn't do any harm.

"But not only did they have to pray, the teacher had gone into the class and made them watch a short film and then said 'we are now going out to pray to Allah'.

 

"Then two boys got detention and all the other children missed their refreshment break because of the teacher.

"Not only was it forced upon them, my daughter was told off for not doing it right.

"They'd never done it before and they were supposed to do it in another language."

 

"My child has been forced to pray to Allah in a school lesson." The grandfather of one of the pupils in the class said: "It's absolutely disgusting, there's no other way of putting it.

 

"My daughter and a lot of other mothers are furious about their children being made to kneel on the floor and pray to Islam. If they didn't do it they were given detention.

 

"I am not racist, I've been friendly with an Indian for 30 years. I've also been to a Muslim wedding where it was explained to me that alcohol would not be served and I respected that.

 

"But if Muslims were asked to go to church on Sunday and take Holy Communion there would be war."

Parents said that their children were made to bend down on their knees on prayer mats which the RE teacher had got out of her cupboard and they were also told to wear Islamic headgear during the lesson on Tuesday afternoon.

Deputy headmaster Keith Plant said: "It's difficult to know at the moment whether this was part of the curriculum or not. I am not an RE teacher, I am an English teacher.

 

"At the moment it is our enterprise week and many of our members of staff are away.

"The particular member of staff you need to speak to isn't around. I think that it is a shame that so many parents have got in touch with the Press before coming to me.

 

"I have spoken to the teacher and she has articulately given me her version of events, but that is all I can give you at the moment."

A statement from Cheshire County Council on behalf of the school read: "The headteacher David Black contacted this authority immediately complaints were received.

 

"Enquiries are being made into the circumstances as a matter of urgency and all parents will be informed accordingly.

"Educating children in the beliefs of different faith is part of the diversity curriculum on the basis that knowledge is essential to understanding.

 

"We accept that such teaching is to be conducted with some sense of sensitivity."

Recaps of how the UK is being Islamified

Do they believe that attempting to turn the UK into some Islamic state will somehow remove the problems of 'No go areas? Force better integration through social engineering and remove the threat of terrorism? Or are the authorities just plain frightened what may occur if they don't appease the Islamic way of life upon us?

You make your own minds up!

Kids told to write 'Allah is God'
UK SUN

ANGRY parents have blasted a teacher for telling ten-year-olds to copy a Muslim prayer saying “There is no God but Allah”.

Helen Green is said to have picked the Muslim call to prayer as HAND-WRITING practice.

It includes the lines “Allah is the greatest” and “I bear witness that there is no God but Allah”.

Pupil Billy Darbyshire’s stepmum Hayley Clayton said: “The explanation was that the children were learning about Islam in RE.

“But this was like he was taking an oath. A Muslim child would never be asked to write a Bible passage.

“Why didn’t she choose a passage from a normal story book to teach handwriting?”

Hayley, 23, said Mrs Green — deputy head of Newlands Primary School in Wakefield, West Yorks — had acknowledged it was a “sensitive issue” because three of the 7/7 suicide bombers came from Leeds, 15 miles away.

She added: “If it’s sensitive why choose that prayer?”

Billy’s angry dad Martin, 32, said there were no Muslims in the ten-year-old’s class. He added: “I am not religious but it offended me.

“It must have been worse for children whose parents do have different beliefs.”

Wakefield Council officials said they believed the prayer had been written for RE.

CHRISTIANS ‘LEFT OUT AS LABOUR

FAVOURS ISLAM’

Story Image


Under-fire Hazel Blears and Dr Williams

Tuesday June 10,2008

By Mark Reynolds

CHRISTIANITY is being sidelined in Britain because Labour is concentrating on minority religions such as Islam, it was claimed yesterday.

The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, said the revelations in a new academic report were “depressing”.
 
It claimed Labour is taking for granted the good work done by the Church of England.

 

 

It highlighted the bias towards religions such as Islam,  and said the Charity Commission focused on what minority communities achieved “to the relative exclusion of the Christian church”.

The report said: “We encountered on the part of Government a significant lack of understanding of, or interest in, the Church of England’s contribution in the public sphere.

“Indeed, we were told that the Government had consciously decided to focus its evidence gathering almost exclusively on minority religions.”

Reacting to the findings, Dr Williams said: “It reveals a depressing level of misunderstanding of the scale and quality of contribution that faith-based organisations make to the civil and civic life of our nation – our common good.

“This is particularly true in relation to the contribution of the Church of England.”

The study follows controversial comments at the weekend by Communities Secretary Hazel Blears who said it was “common sense” to dedicate more effort to Islam because of the threat of extremism.

The report by the Von Hugel Institute at Cambridge University found that minority religions did not appreciate the attention lauded on them by ministers – instead feeling they were being victimised. The study also accused the Government of failing parts of society with its approach to faith communities and social policy.

 

It urged the Government to appoint a Minister for Religion, Social Cohesion and Voluntary Action who would also serve as the Prime Minister’s faith envoy.

The study’s authors said that during their research they encountered a Church of England that, relative to its size, made “extensive contributions” to the civic health of the nation.

Bishops carried out “countless activities” such as fundraising and sitting on governing bodies of schools or colleges.

And cathedrals offered great potential for social action and education as well as being centres of prayer.

The report said: “Despite this immense and long-standing involvement by the Anglican Church, the Government, with notable exceptions, has consistently failed to pay more than enthusiastic lip service to its role in society.”

The Rt Rev Stephen Lowe, Bishop for Urban Life and Faith, who commissioned the report, said: “I do not think the Church of England is very good at actually selling itself.  In fact, we spend a lot of time bemoaning the fact that people say we are ‘declining’ without recognising the immense contribution that we make as the largest voluntary organisation in the country.

“That sense of our activity is often, I would almost say always, forgotten.”

But Ms Blears remained unrepentant last night. She said: “This is an unfair attack on the Government.

“We engage with the Church of England on a regular basis, as we do with all other faiths. In fact, we met with them recently to discuss faith work and I met with the Archbishop of Canterbury only a few months ago when he helped us to launch our inter-faith strategy consultation.

“The Government recognises and welcomes the great contribution made by people motivated by their different faiths and our new inter-faith strategy, to be published in July, will set out further our commitments on this important agenda.

“We will also be looking at the important role of faith groups, including Britain’s churches, in our forthcoming White Paper on Community Empowerment.”

Amsterdam  Children Told
 
 
they are Dogs during Mosque Visit
 
 
(Recap 9th April 2008)
 

THE HAGUE, 09/04/08 - A primary school in Amsterdam wished to provide its pupils with an understanding for other cultures. But during a visit to a mosque, the children were told they were dogs.

 

With a view to developing understanding and respect for other cultures among children, primary school De Horizon regularly organises outings to various religious organisations. The chairman of the El Mouchidine mosque told the children from group 7 (aged 10) and their chaperones however that non-Muslims are dogs.

 

In a letter to the children's parents, the school expresses its regret at the incident: "We are shocked that during the guided tour, the mosque's chairman told the children and chaperoning parents that non believers were dogs. We consider this statement as unacceptable since we allow our children to partake in this project to develop respect for freedom of religious choice".

 

In the meantime, the school's management has addressed the mosque on the undesirable behaviour of the chairman. Both parties will say nothing further on the matter. "We will resolve the matter amongst ourselves and I have no inclination whatsoever to discuss the matter with the media", as newspaper De Telegraaf quoted the school's spokesperson Mariet ten Berge. "We have been to the mosque before and it always went well".

 

Angry parents had sent the letter on to De Telegraaf but were reportedly rapped on the knuckles by the school's management. "The school wishes to play this down. That is precisely the problem", as one mother commented.

 


Now They Want Muslim
 
 
Clerics to Teach Our
 
 
Children
 
( Recap 31st May 2008)
 
 

Saturday May 31,2008

By Padraic Flanagan

Moves to allow Muslim clerics into classrooms to address pupils were condemned yesterday.

The latest scheme put forward by Schools Secretary Ed Balls was greeted with derision.

Critics branded the proposals by the under-fire minister unworkable and unnecessary.

The package of measures, to be published next week, will set out a proposal to invite British-born imams into schools to speak about growing violent extremism among young people.

Under the plans, the imams would teach citizenship so that pupils learn about the Koran and Islam in the context of a multicultural society. But last night the scheme was described as yet another worthless Government gimmick.

Opponents said the plans would simply provide another opportunity to deliver “faith-based citizenship lessons” on Islam.

They also pointed out it was unnecessary as schools already cover such key faith issues in religious education classes.

Nick Seaton, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, said: “This is just another Government gimmick. Children should be taught different faiths, but that should be the responsibility of religious education teachers.

“What we’re seeing here is a case of schools coming up with daft stunts instead of concentrating on teaching the three Rs.” Mark Wallace, of the Taxpayers’ Alliance, said: “This is a question of priorities. While increased religious understanding is good in itself, at a time when schools are failing to teach children to read and write it is clearly not the first place to spend the money.”

Teachers’ groups also voiced their concern. Martin Ward, deputy general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: “Schools, by and large, are already doing these things.

“Every school teaches pupils to be tolerant and know the tenets of different faiths. That’s exactly what religious education is supposed to be.

“The real causes of people getting into extremism are nothing to do with schools.”

Imam Haroon Rashid Patel, whose work includes visiting Valentines High School in Ilford, Essex, where 40 per cent of the pupils have Muslim backgrounds, also condemned the proposals. “I don’t think this has been thought through,” he said. “To avoid extremism, you need to do much more than sending imams into schools. Families need to be involved as well.”

The National Union of Teachers caused an outcry in March by suggesting that Muslim clerics and other religious leaders should be sent into every school as an alternative to having specific faith schools.

Head teachers and other critics warned that this could allow extremists to target pupils. Now the proposals by Mr Balls appear to take the move a step further.

Government officials said the imams could take part in lessons which include “discussing rights of neighbours, the sacredness of life or the importance of equal opportunities.” They said teachers and clerics would be urged to help counter the threat of terrorism by winning the “hearts and minds” of youngsters.

The plans form part of new guidance to encourage local authorities and police to work more closely with schools.

The officials said that imams and other adults granted access to pupils will be vetted for radical Islamist views to undermine efforts to spread extremist doctrine. But there is no guarantee that extremist imams will not slip through the net. The proposals come in the wake of last week’s Exeter restaurant bombing, which police suspect was carried out by a British-educated convert to Islam.

On July 7 2005, London was attacked by home-grown terrorists, including a classroom assistant, who had been radicalised by extremist teachers in this country.

Mr Balls said a “tiny minority do seek to radicalise young people with an ideology advocating division, hatred and violence, and justifies criminal activity.”

This, he said, was one of the “complex issues” that teachers have to deal with and is “perhaps one of the most difficult”.

He added: “Unfortunately, we have to recognise that a very small number of children may already be at risk of being drawn into criminal activity inspired by extremists.

“This is not to suggest that radicalisation is taking place in our schools. However, we must ensure schools are equipped to face this challenge.”

Compulsory halal meat in UK schools

Recap December 2006

 

Parents angered as every

pupil is given halal

school meals

Kids: Uproar as mixed faith

state schools only serve

Halal meat.

 

Halal meat is being served to pupils in state schools without their knowledge, even if they believe the religious slaughter is cruel.

Parents have reacted furiously after being sent letters telling them their children's school dinners have been all-halal for 'some time'.

 

To conform with Jewish and Muslim religious tradition, animals are prepared for halal products by having their throats slit while conscious - a method many people believe is inhumane and which the RSPCA has condemned.

 

The meat was introduced at four schools in the Reading area with a high proportion of Muslim pupils. But parents of non-Muslim pupils - between 20 and 50 per cent of the schools' roll -say they were not consulted.

 

Coach driver Andrew Weston, 37, who has a son and daughter at St John's primary school, said: "We received a letter saying only halal meat was being served and had been for some time. I was shocked.

"The way the animals are killed for this meat is barbaric and cruel. Our children should have a choice."

 

Abdul Dean, ethnic minorities officer for the Christian Peoples Alliance, said: "Christian children should be given an equal chance to have non-halal meat. The school should have explained the situation to parents at the outset."

 

Last month, a head teacher in Rotherham caused an outcry when she said she intended to replace traditional turkey with halal chicken to create an 'integrated Christmas'. Jan Charters, head of Oakwood School, backed down after complaints by MPs.

 

A spokesperson for Reading Borough Council said: "The decision was taken several years ago. Schools thought it was the appropriate choice for their multi-cultural community. We are increasing options at the four schools by offering fish each day."

 

The other schools where only halal meat is served are New Town, Oxford Road and Alfred Sutton primary schools.

Earlier this year, an RSPCA pamphlet stated: "Muslim communities in the UK should review their slaughter practices. Research demonstrates that slaughter of any animal without stunning can cause unnecessary suffering."

 
We are constantly told to be tolerant by our government.

How about tolerance towards native Britons for a change instead of exemptions from our values and laws? Why have Christians, Atheists, and Britons from other religions have to constantly adjust to suit Islam that the government is forcing upon us?

Come on' Tolerance is supposed to be a two way street!
