Also I have seen old news footage of the 60's and 70,s where Muslims protested for the fact their daughters had to go swimming.
I don't care about the ''MUST'' or ''DO's'' of it all but it clearly states there is a divide in culture here the same divide in culture if not extinguished ones of religious minorities in Islamic countries.
This is just one hurdle put in front of democracy all happening all over the world for years by this religion and there are demands that take complete changes of public places that does not suite them.
And there is nothing wrong with jihadwatch if that is a problem.

The government today dismissed calls from Britain's leading Islamic group for schools to do more to accommodate Muslim pupils who want to wear a headscarf or grow a beard.
Also another article here.

After a cursory review of the document (linked below), I see no demands whatsoever. I see requests made for special treatment of Muslim children. There's nothing about the behavior of other children in the schools. And there's no ban on anything that I saw.
But why should muslim children expect to get special treatment in British public schools? If someone wants their child to get a "Catholic education", for example, what do the parents do? Of course, they put them in a Catholic school. The same should apply for these muslims. Now, before I get the argument that there aren't any or enough muslim schools, I'll throw that back on the muslim parents. Why move to a place that doesn't meet the needs of you and your family? If it doesn't have the schools you need, change that situation (peacefully, please), or choose another place.

Thanks for posting a misleading title. You claim they want to "ban Un-Islamic Schools" and yet the first line of the article states:
DEMANDS for a ban on “un-Islamic” activities in schools will be set out by the Muslim Council of Britain today.

We hear about this sort of stuff all the time, whether it be demands, protests or outrageous requests by the immigrant populations.
The classic British thing used to be that if a foreigner was to try and tell us what to do, we'd tell them to p**s off!
Britain will become a joke if we start letting our traditions and culture be pushed over and molded by muslims.
As someone said before, why are these people so eager to live in Britain if our schools don't accommodate for muslims?
Why don't they go and live somewhere else that IS muslim instead of trying to change our country!

It's a religion. No country in the world is "Muslim," only the people are.
[edit on 24-2-2007 by DJMessiah]
The country is ruled by a monarchy with a legal system based on Islamic law (Shari'a). The Government does not provide legal protection for freedom of religion, and such protection does not exist in practice. Islam is the official religion, and the law requires that all citizens be Muslims. The Government prohibits the public practice of non-Muslim religions. The Government recognizes the right of non-Muslims to worship in private; however, it does not always respect this right in practice and does not define this right in law.

Now allow me to deny your Ignorance.
As for your earlier comment on the title of the thread. I was just the messenger, I did not write it nor did I change it, it is exactly as the media presented it and I did that intentionally to avoid any conflict. If you have problem with that kindly take it up with the paper that published the story. Thank you.

What did the "foreigners" tell the Brits to do? Everything mentioned in the article pertains only to other Muslims.

"Muslims" is not a race, so why are you treating it as such? Anyone can be a Muslim, regardless of them being white, black, Asian, or Hispanic and be British. Unless all British people follow one same culture, then no, your culture isn't going to get taken over.
As someone said before, why are these people so eager to live in Britain if our schools don't accommodate for muslims?
The problem isn't the accommodation of schools, it's the fact that the school system is trying to take Islam out.

It's funny. When Christians demand a Christmas play complete with a Christmas tree and Christmas carols and to allow little Jennie to wear her cross to school. When they want a school-sponsored Easter Egg hunt and for Johnnie to be permitted carry his bible and read during lunch, it's all well and good.
Schools must not schedule sex and relationship lessons or swimming during Ramadam.

What if my kid is a keen swimmer? They're going to have to miss out on swimming lessons because someone who's not even from this country says so? BS.
Swimming during Ramadan
In general, participation in swimming is an acceptable activity whilst fasting. However, for many pupils this activity may prove to be an issue, as the potential for swallowing water is very high. Some pupils or parents consider the risk too great and may wish to avoid swimming whilst fasting. Others may take the view that as swallowing is unintentional it does not break the fast.
Schools with a significant number of Muslim pupils should try to avoid scheduling swimming lessons during Ramadan to remove unnecessary barriers to full participation.
Sex and relationship education
Whilst fasting, Muslims are not permitted to engage in any sexual relations and are expected to take measures to avoid sexual thoughts and discourse. Schools are therefore advised to avoid scheduling the teaching of sex and relationship education, including aspects that are part of the science curriculum, during Ramadan.

Kinda like Christianity tried its level best to take over the world hmmm? Bit like how Zionists believe they are the Chosen, and all other people are just mutts.
By the way, are you trying to imply with your one-line reply that all Muslims are radical? I only ask, because you failed entirely to elaborate on that stunning point you made, and as such, we need to make sure of what it is you are trying to say.
