Taxpayer funded Muslim schools in the UK

Your tax dollars at work  -  Taxpayer funded Muslim schools.


By law 50% of the students will be Muslim


Taxpayers who oppose Islam will have their tax money (which is taken from them by the force by the government) fund Islamic schools in the United Kingdom.  This is happening under a so-called "Conservative" government.

The first free school for Muslims in the country will open in Blackburn, Lancashire, next year.

The business case for Tauheedul Islam Boys' School in Darwen has been approved by the Government.

Simon Jones, national executive member for the National Union of Teachers, and Blackburn with Darwen representative, said: 'It will further undermine much of the progress towards community cohesion. We are on our way to a completely segregated schooling system. It is going to develop potential social problems in the future, says the Daily Mail.

This is extremely bad news for Blackburn with Darwen. It is not unexpected, nevertheless it is still a bad day.'

Councillor David Foster, leader of the Liberal Democrats, who is also a local methodist preacher, said: 'In my view we shouldn't have any religious schools of any faith. One of the problems in Blackburn is the segregation of communities.

'A lot of schools are mono cultural and we need to try to develop ways in which we educate the community as one rather than separately.

Free schools do not fall within local authority control and get their funding direct from the Government, but have greater freedom than academies to set their own agenda.

It will have an admissions policy of 75 per year with year's seven and eight starting in September.  50 per cent of the admissions will be allocated to members of the school's affiliated mosques.

'Providing increased diversity': The Tauheedul mosque is opening a free school, which already has a
large number of Muslim pupils

***** There is a dire need for the growth of state funded Muslim schools to meet the growing needs and demands of the Muslim parents *****

Thanks for coming by this site.

Your quote above is where I have problems. STATE FUNDED is the key for me.

In the U.S. the tradition of public education is no religion at all in a public school. Let the parents pay for a private religious education if that is what they want.

For example, it is not right to have tax money taken from Muslims or Hindus and use it to give a religious education to Jews and Christians.
