Lox- Do a simple search online and you find this story has been covered by, The Sun, The Telegraph, The Guardian, the Croydon News and many other websites; it is being discussed on many other fora such as this. As well as the here on Jihadwatch a US based website run by Robert Spencer http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/025125.php

Joe- my point and concern, is that this issue at Old Palace is symptomatic of a serious and ever growing problem that the UK is facing; that is the concerted effort by some, and I stress some- fundamental and radical Muslims to demand that we accommodate their religious beliefs, which in most cases are simply at odd with British society and our norms. They are fostering a radical and hateful version of Islam and the problem needs tackled at every level in Britain- and this, seemingly minor issue at Old palace, is part of the problem and must be challenged. Spend a few minutes and look over this link and you hear them in their own words, you'll see what I mean;

I am not Islamaphobic (see my earlier post)- but I am waiting for someone here to label me as such. Look, we need to wake up to this threat; we need to take a firm stance against those that would demand we accept ways that are foreign and incompatible with British values, laws and our way of life.

There is no place in Britain for the 'segregation' of the sexes based on Islamic or any other doctrine for that matter doctrine. It is wrong to foster a culture where women are subjugated. This issue at Old Palace is indeed part of the wider Islamist agenda.
