Note how the proponents of Sharia advance their cause, not only in glorious, non-racist Britain but all over Europe. When they wanted to wear the hijab in France, they spoke the language of "freedom of religion" and "human rights." But in an Islamic school, where they are in charge, there is no whisper of such concepts.
This is in microcosm what will happen, and has already begun to happen, to Europe as it inexorably becomes Eurabia: calls for "human rights" and an end to "bigotry" will in some cases gradually, and in other cases suddenly become declarations of supremacism and the subjugation of the bewildered non-Muslims of Europe, who in their bemused self-imposed ignorance thought that if they conceded enough, gave away enough of who they were and what they had stood for, there would be a glorious era of peace and harmony.
From the Daily Mail, with thanks to all who sent this in:
Female students at a new Islamic school will be made to wear head scarves regardless of their religion, it was revealed yesterday.The Madani High School in Leicester will be required by law to accept 10 per cent of its 600 pupils from a non-Muslim background.
But girls who are not Muslim will still have to abide by a rule insisting all female pupils cover their heads as part of the uniform.
Assistant principal Zainab Elgaziari said he did not regard the demand as a problem - despite the ongoing row over Muslim women's veils.
He said: 'I can't see why if a student wears a head scarf it should be an issue. It's the same as a shirt or tie - it's just part of our uniform.
'We will welcome students of other faiths. Indeed, there will be a quota set down by the Government, and we will abide by these rules.
'When you go to any school you know what the uniform will be. Like any school, we will have one - and in our case it will include a head scarf.'
Also, what is this requirement that ten percent of the students must be non-Muslim? How will they be selected? Will they be forced to go there in the name of the mighty god of multiculturalism? Catholic schools these days that admit non-Catholics are quite careful to do nothing in the way of proselytizing. But will these non-Muslim students be subjected to da'wa? Almost certainly. And will there be any concern about that from British authorities? Of course not. After all, Islam is a religion of peace! Why should British authorities care if more and more people join a group from which the 7/7 bombers came, and which has made no effort to cast those sympathetic to those bombers out of its ranks? What are you, some kind of racist Islamophobe?

Are there non-Muslim parents crazy enough to send their children to an Islamic school?

The solution of this problem is quiet simple, That all schools have to have 10% of there pupils non-muslim. Infidels are certainly not going to enrole in such a schools. You get one non-muslim pupil enrole, you can only teach 10 muslim pupils, endof school. End of problem. Give a muslim enough rope and he will hang himself and his family.

'When you go to any school you know what the uniform will be. Like any school, we will have one - and in our case it will include a head scarf.'
It's a completely different story, of course, when a mohammedan child attends a non-mohammedan school, and insists on wearing a headscarf, or even the full headsack, despite the school rules on uniform that include no such barbaric rubbish.
Faith schools should be banned in Britain.
Covering the face in public should be banned in Britain.
Halal meat (just introduced as new line in Tesco, I notice) should be banned in Britain.
If you live in Britain, I urge you to email or write (or both) to Tesco to express your opposition and disgust at their new line of Halal meat. Their email address is customer.service@tesco.co.uk.
Their address is 'Tesco Stores Limited, Tesco House, Delamare Road, Cheshunt, Herts, EN8 9SL'.

He said: 'I can't see why if a student wears a head scarf it should be an issue. It's the same as a shirt or tie - it'sjust part of our uniform.'Your Catholic school anti-proselytizing norm is the first thing that entered my mind. To me this would be like a Catholic school saying to Jewish students who enroll, "If you come here, you have to wear a crucfix necklace. But don't worry, it's just part of the uniform."
I can't believe that the Brits will let them get away with this bullshit. "Church of England" aside, don't they have anti-establishment legal norms over there at all? The astounding thing is this 10% non-Muslim requirement. If this isn't state support of religion I don't know what is.
Unbelievable.

Asda has had it for at least 2 years and they seem to be considerably expanding their range in the last month.

Why is there a quota? If your school is going to be based on Islam, what's the point of requiring it to admit non-Muslim students?
Beyond that, the requirement of Islamic dress is unreasonable and in my opinion, illegal. This compulsion should not be allowed. I thought there was "no compulsion in religion?" Obviously not.

Any non-Muslim parent foolish enough to send their children to a Muslim school deserves everything they get. Having said that, the British public gets very little information from the MSM and government on the true nature of Islam. Indeed, the idiotic decision to give state subsidies to these institutions makes them look thoroughly respectable and innocuous.In the UK context almost any school operating a selective process on its pupil intake will be more successful than one which can't or won't. This almost inevitable advantage may give a bogus prestige to islam - although if they make these places anything like Pakistani madrassas they'll still manage to blow it. The opportunities for da'wa any non-Muslim pupils would provide, need hardly be mentioned.

Some info on UK faith based schools.

UK to Force State-Funded Faith-Based Schools to Admit Students of Other Religions
"Faith-based schools have been receiving increasing government support over the last five years."

"What many people do not realise is that all voluntary aided faith schools are almost entirely paid for out of public money."

I suppose that since this is a Muslim school it should be OK if they require a dress code for all its students.
As for the 10 percent this school must accept that are not Muslim the solution is simple. Make the 10 percent consist of pigs and apes since they would be undoubtedly non-Muslim and wouldn't be considered any worse than infidels anyway. At least then there wouldn't be any instances of kids being forced to go there or of parents fearing for their kids' safety and upbringing.

First, I wouldn't let my child go to a predominately Muslim school.
Second, if the school identifies itself clearly as a Muslim school, the students and parents really have no one to blame but themselves.
Thirdly, if for some reason they had to go there, I would get them scarves with crosses or pigs or dogs on them to wear.
At my father's school, there was a passing fad to not wear belts. When the school insisted that it was part of the dress code, they wore belts over their shoulders like bandoliers. Perhaps the girls could do something similar (assuming that their parents, by sending them to such a school have not already submitted and paid the jizrah).

"Why should British authorities care if more and more people join a group from which the 7/7 bombers came, and which has made no effort to cast those sympathetic to those bombers out of its ranks? "
Good rhetoric, but rather unfair now, Robert. See
this from The Times:
"“THE Government withdrew its support from Britain’s largest Muslim organisation yesterday after accusing it of failing to lead the fight against religious extremism.
Ruth Kelly, the Communities Secretary, attacked the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) for boycotting Holocaust Memorial Day, criticising police anti-terrorist operations and “sitting on the sidelines” in the campaign against extremists.
Muhammad Abdul Bari, the secretary-general of the MCB, was invited to hear Ms Kelly’s speech, which was delivered to a Muslim audience, but refused to attend.
Ms Kelly said that she was embarking on “a fundamental rebalancing” of the Government’s relationship with Muslim organisations.
Until now ministers have viewed the MCB, which represents 400 organisations and hundreds of mosques around the country, as the most important voice among Britain’s two million Muslims.
But Ms Kelly said that in future she would engage with and give funding to organisations that represented young Muslims and Muslim women and which were taking a “proactive leadership role in tackling extremism and defending our shared values”. “

Yep. The same thought occurred to me. I used a few packs of streaky bacon, but the intent was the same.
Of course, the whole lot is shrink-wrapped, so there can't be any contact between the items - no risk of the bacon becoming contaminated. But I'm pretty sure the message is loud and clear.
