Thread Name: Obit: More Muslim intolerance?
Subject: RE: Obit: More Muslim intolerance?
I agree completely Dianavan. The position of non-Muslim minorities who face having sharia law imposed on them is particularly distressing.

It's the same with education as with justice. Muslims in Britain have correctly pointed out that to have Christian schools and not allow Muslim schools is blatant discrimination. But in my opinion the solution is not to have Muslim-only schools but that all schools should be entirely secular (at least if they expect government funding). Religion should be a private matter taught at home. Since most Muslims in Britain are from non-white backgrounds one can expect that widespread Muslim-only schools will lead to more ghettoisation, ignorance, fear and intolerance on both sides. It is vital that children from all backgrounds mix to get rid of racist myths.
