More unreasonable accommodations to Muslims in the UK, as Sharia rules continue to encroach upon British society and subjugate Britons:
Recommendations include schools should make adjustments to accommodate the needs of fasting pupils, hold exams in rooms in the shade, change times of revision lessons and provide prayer rooms as well as to make sure exam rooms are in the shade with fans and bottles of water available.
Last year, rumours circulated that summer A-Level exams would be changed to accommodate Ramadan, until the Joint Council for Qualifications dispelled the “misunderstanding” in a “strongly worded statement.” This latest call to “change revision classes, exams and sports” during Ramadan opens the door to the UK adjusting the time of A-Level exams and making more such accommodations to Sharia in the future.
In a similar vein not long ago, Derek Holloway, the head of Religious Education in the Church of England’s education office, said that children should be forced to learn about Islam, and that parents should lose the right to remove their children from religious education classes that teach about Islam.
“Schools told to change revision classes, exams and sports days during Ramadan”, by Adam Smith, Metro UK, May 21, 2017:
Schools are being told to change revision classes and reschedule sports days to accommodate the needs of Muslim pupils fasting for Ramadan.
A new report is also urging schools to ‘show sensitivity’ when organising graduation celebrations and make PE lessons ‘less strenuous’ as fasting students could be weaker than normal.
This year the Muslim holy month of Ramadan falls starts at the end of May and will clash with GCSE and A Level exams across the country.
It means that thousands of pupils could face sitting exams with empty stomachs, as those who have reached ‘maturity’ are forbidden to eat during daylight, in warm exam rooms at the height of summer.
The report has been published by the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), which represents more than 18,000 head teachers and college leaders.
Author Anna Cole said: ‘Young people should be made aware that Islam does not require them to put their futures in jeopardy.’
The report also warns a ‘combination of long days, higher temperatures as well as examinations’ putting extra pressure on young Muslims, many will still opt to participate in Ramadan.
The ASCL research paper concludes primary-aged children should not fast and recommends head teachers to ‘ease the pressure’ on Muslim students.
Recommendations include schools should make adjustments to accommodate the needs of fasting pupils, hold exams in rooms in the shade, change times of revision lessons and provide prayer rooms as well as to make sure exam rooms are in the shade with fans and bottles of water available.
The report warns ‘If a student taking an exam is showing any signs that they may be dehydrated, such as a headache or drowsiness, they should be advised to terminate the fast immediately by drinking some water.’
The report was written in consultation with scholars from across the spectrum of Islamic religion.
The guidelines said: ‘Observing Ramadan may bring many benefits to individuals and communities, but also has the potential to cause the individual temporary hardship through hunger and lack of liquids during fasting hours which may impact on physical wellbeing and cognitive performance…..
mortimer says
Muslims do not need concessions to their holy days, because Islam has a doctrine called ‘DARURA’ which allows Muslims to defer their prayers to another more convenient time.
England and Scotland both have an established Christian church. Did Muslims in UK realize they would be coming to a legally Christian country?
If so, why did they come? Why don’t they leave? Sharia law is discriminatory. Sharia should not be implemented legally in a Christian country period. Just say no, before you lose your country to intolerant totalitarians.
Adrian says
I always learn from your comments, Mortimer… they are to the point and expose the dogmas behind the cult… thank you!
Alice says
Spot on! No backbone there.
VampireJack says
I assume you’re in the US, correct?
It’s coming to you too you know?
The Unified Sharia Americas is planned for you.
Then let’s see about backbone.
Oh, but you have guns. So will they.
Carolyne says
They are cowards. Of course we have guns. Our Founding Fathers made sure of that while escaping the oppression of England. Because they will be fewer in number and because they are cowards, the first shot fired at them will make them turn tail and run.
We have twice saved Europe with our guns and we will certainly save ourselves. Hitler, by the way, had guns too but you likely know the end of that story. It’s why you don’t speak German as your native language.
I assume you are in Transylvania? Correct?

They come to impose Islam on us.

Right On Point Mortimer, Thank you !!
CrossWare says
I can see the cause of United Islamic Kingdom is progressing very well.
Kay says
I wish all Western nations would clearly make illegal the rule about killing apostates — as if murder weren’t already illegal– and let these people be freed from this evil creed and it’s ridiculous limitations. No one “fasts” from water unless they’re going into surgery.
Eur says
Step by Step. The big step will be when they demand different laws depending on religion … and therefore make it illegal for a Muslim to leave Islam. So it is in the whole Islamic world and that is what they pretend … until by demography they can impose their laws to us all.
The Vilest of All Creatures says
I think it will soon be codified in the Islamic Republic of the United Kingdom that anyone who kills an apostate from Islam is NOT guilty of murder, and can go on his merry way.
andra says
The Islamisation of Europe does not happen. IO
Carolyne says
It has already happened.
Dawn says
Stop with the special treatment
rubiconcrest says
Muslims don’t fast any more than I do. They just eat at different times. We eat dinner around 6 pm and fast until 7 am breakfast, 13 hours of fasting. No one needs special accommodation who eats every day.
Jane says
They fast from sun-up till sundown. Approx. 5 am until 9:30 pm.
VampireJack says
Big deal – they have a shorter period of the day to eat and drink – we are supposed to “respect” them for such hardships,
Well guest what – I do a similar thing every day, have done for around the last 8 years or so – due to having Crohn’s Disease.
If I want to leave the house I cannot eat – ANYTHING.
I start every day without breakfast – because it would stop me leaving the house.
I cannot eat at work – because, well,,,,
I cannot eat after 6pm if I want to be able to leave the house for work the following morning – so I usually have something like a 45 minute period daily I can actually eat.
So for those mozzas who make it such a big deal about “oh, it’s unfair to eat around us during ramadamn” is a joke. They just pig out at the end of the day and expect a damn medal for their observance.
Carolyne says
And they have special delicacies during the time they are fasting–delicious foods which are only served during Ramadan. It isn’t fasting at all. Just having a feast after darkness..
I’m still trying to figure out how one only has a 45 minute period in which they can eat and how they would survive that.
Halal Bacon says

somehistory says
In the desert, during the daylight hours, it is hot and oppressive, so it is cooler to just lie down in the shade and sleep or rest until the sun goes down…then get up and take care of things.
This is not necessary in non desert places, esp when modern a/c is available to cool off and water can be refrigerated before consuming. moslims are just pretending so as to make everyone comply with their evil code thought up by a murdering, raper of children.
It is all about *control.* Control by hook or by crook….islam is all about controlling one’s every action and thought. The *rulers* are falling in line and using their authority to help islam gain control.
(Revelation 13)
Eur says
Yep…. control is the key , they don’t want freedom of choice in their “community”
Eur says
With this type of measures what is achieved is that the few secular Muslims stop being it. Someone who does not follow Islam will be marked if he breaks Ramadan even in our societies. We are creating tribes … do not they realize?From this moment it will be impossible for anyone to leave the sect.
John W. says
This seems very reasonable to me. After all, plenty of accommodations are made for Christians, Jews, etc. in majority Muslim countries. Oh….wait.
John A. Marre says
Are you Brits going to force non-Muslims to go without food during Ramadan so as not to offend the Muslims?
gravenimage says
Already there are government offices and private companies in the UK where employees are warned about eating in front of Muslims during Ramadan.
VampireJack says
There have been stories about schools who will not allow non muslims to eat in the company of muslims during ramadamn.
Even our homeless have been attacked for the audacity of eating in the streets during ramadamn.
The UK is seething at the moment – and it won’t be too long now that it comes to a boil.
gungadin says
I’d sit around all day eating bacon and pork in front of them…..as we used to say “FUGGUM and FEEDUM BEANS”
Irene Brekelmans says
Yes, Mr. John Marra is right. How dare we eat at the daytime, we are bad people, but we are waiting untill they force it upon us, but first they have to flatten our childrens breasts with an iron or something, I am already getting so tired from what I have to think about . From entering the toilet and with stepping out of it, Halal meals, getting my children to school, even that is already difficult, the streets are occupied with praying people on mats. My daughter asks what they are doing there, I say: child, take a good look at it, then it will be easier when you have to do that, she gave me that look of are you allright?
And then to think that I had such good and wise parents, well educated and they always let us be free thinkers in religion and said: If you want any religion, first research it and then we you are an adult, you can choose for yourself and my sister and I really appreciated that.And now, we are not even free of making the choice to take up a religion or not.No choice for an infidel kafir or apostate.
I am sure my parents are in “heaven” and they will petrefied when they see and hear what is happening at the moment with the Islam. I am sure they can’t believe it, and neither can I. All those countries, leftists/globalists and “nice’kind people for peace (that’s what they think of themselves, and our governments and councils who have let all those people glide easely into those jobs, so now they are all operating from the core on out and check everything, inside outside.
An that is fine, you deserve everything that is coming to you, but we don’t and we won’t, that is all a present for you and your children and grandchildren. Salem Aleikum to all of you, but there is one thing. Not all muslims are bad or crazy. There are some very nice people who want the same as we do. I know that,
but the rest do better to go home where they belong and before they ruine the whole social system.
How can somebody get 40.000 pound in one year from social services. I am sure there are a lot of people in Britain that have to live of much more less and have great difficulties to make ends meet.
Churchill would turn around in his grave hearing this about his beloved Great Brittain.
THOMAS JEFFERSON WARNED THEN ALREADY FOR THIS, REAGAN AND ALMOST ALL AMERICAN PRESIDENTS.
ALL YOU HAD TO DO, IS TO HAVE KEPT THEM TO THE LAWS OF THE LAND, LIKE WE HAVE TO DO TOO. But you could not even do that. Rule Brittannya, that’s right, but not by you any more, but God save the Queen. How hilarious everything is really, if it was not so sad and so crazy.
Eur says
In Morocco all children must study Islam and Bibles are forbidden. If a Muslim converts to Christianity he receives mockery and insults and must practice faith in secrecy. Do you imagine that a Muslim in the West could not call his sons Muhammad or read the koran? In Morocco it happens that a “muslim” can not call his children with Christian names, he can not read the bible. There are thousands of Christians living their faith in secrecy…. and thousands and thousands of atheist. Muslims do not apply reciprocity.Is true or not Linda? Social control… islam need social control ,there is no freedom in Islam.
gravenimage says
Mockery and insults? Many apostates from Islam face violence and murder.
James says
Muslims can wipe their backsides with the Bible. If any Westerner did that with the Koran, the Kaffir authorities would probably put him in prison. We have to defer to Muslims – but they don’t have to change their ways to suit us. Crazy.
billybob says
I think they should set tables with delicious food items and beverages in the hallways, such that delicious aromas are always drifting down the hall and into the classrooms. Free samples should be offered to all. It should be a celebration of culinary arts. Especially they should offer prized sweets from Muslim countries. Dates and honey, baklava and nuts. The idea is to entice these Muslim students to abandon their foolish fast and integrate with the other children. Anyone who does this should be awarded with cheers and applause. Sporting events should be held, like field days with a variety of sports, with participation compulsory. Thereby demonstrate to these Muslim children how their stamina is negatively affected. Finally, there should be a pork roast held on the school ground, and pork sausages and bacon sandwiches. Then there should be a draw Muhammad contest as well. Why not?

UK: Schools told to change class times, exam times and sports days because of Ramadan
…………………….
More cringing dhimmitude.
Matthieu Baudin says
“…Muslim holy month of Ramadan … starts at the end of May…”
It’s almost the end of May and we may be forgiven for forgetting that there is a one horse election about to gear up with the promise of five more years coercive social policy on the way. And then there is Ramadan to consider…
Jack Holan says
Dennis Holloway the Leftist Bureaucrat who gets your children and experiments with them. Don’t forget HRC declared it takes a village to raise a child. He would have thrived working in the Soviet Union under Stalin, Khrushchev Brezhnev or. Andropov.
As far as Anna Cole is concerned if your children should view learn about Islam as an opportunity and parents won’t have the authority to keep them at home during those classes just imagine the value Muslim children will gain learning about Judaism and Christianity at the same intensity the infidel children learn about Islam. After all they must learn about the dominant religions of the Host country that influenced the culture and history. I’m certain Dennis and Anna wouldn’t favor one Religion over another. Such preference would be illegal.
Laura says
” Ramadan may bring many benefits to individuals and communities.” Such as the murder of non-muslims and other muslims who are insufficiently Islamic. Some benefits!
utis says
You got that right! Just as with Obama, Cole declares the benefits of Islam without naming even one. People who think ask, “What benefits?”
Lioness says
Are exam times also changed to accomodate Yom Kippur?
