Good luck with getting the Pakistani community behind this,it's just not thier thing at all.

We are in it for the long run to be fair things like this are a side show. When Tony Blair green lit £40 billion of arms sales to Saudi Arabia, he tied our hands. What came the other way was money for wahhabist/deobanist mosques in the uk, with extremely conservative values. We also buy lpg off Qatar who do similar. Never mind the other gas that' originates in Russia! Not much room to move really and very precarious relationships. Not a subject that gets raised much although someone raised the point in question time, brave individual.
Are you getting the Pakistani community mixed up with the Muslim community?

When you have the government supporting them it's a bit tricky to do that.
Is the govt supporting them?

They shouldn’t be.
The leader of the house made a statement in the commons supporting their right to withdraw from such lessons.
It's a popular position to hold.

Withdrawal from lessons is not something I support but it’s not the same as not sending your kids to school at all.

It's not, but it gives their position some support and validity.

Why not just tell them to get on with it?

Funny how it’s only one side that has to be tolerant. When they say our children they mean their children fk the kafir.

Outsiders in our own country.

Wait until they become 20% and start getting bold.



Those signs are going to cause consternation in parts of Scotland, given that an 'outsider' is what they call the crusts on the ends of a sliced loaf.

The difference is that not sending them to school is an unauthorised absence and they should be fined for it. Not doing that gives their position some validity.

I’m like I said, I don’t support withdrawal from lessons either but that is a long standing compromise.

Are the protests unique to either the Muslim community or the Pakistani community? Surely the position should be "Actually we don't particularly care which community you're from, we believe that Schools should be allowed to teach this because it fits in with British values"

Do we have a situation here where if Muslims don’t like a particular part of the curriculum they are allowed to withdraw their children from them ?

My son doesn’t like maths, so I can keep him at home ?

It appears that this stuff is very much infra dig for the kuffar as well.

It's also not part of the curriculum apparently.

Parents were allowed to withdraw their kids from lessons which didn't fit in with their religious beliefs when I was at school, I left in 1992.

I didn’t know that.

So this protest and withdrawal of children is actually ok / legal ?

Quite. In my class it was a Jehovah’s Witness whose parents withdrew him from certain lessons. Seemed absurd to me at the time and my opinion hasn’t changed.

Withdrawing from lessons is different to not sending them to school at all.

Well if it's alum rock it's almost exclusively uk Pakistani so we can establish that. Is there a 'muslim' community? I was just making the point they will not back down. Brilliant piece in the spectator hopefully not behind a paywall

So in typical PH fashion, if your kids school was doing a religious seminar and an LGBT educational seminar on the same day for your kids, you'd be up in arms about the religions education, and a religious type would be up in arms against the LGBT session.. but you'd claim the other person was wrong and not being tolerant?

That makes sense.
I'm glad it makes sense to you, because I'm struggling to pick out what exactly it is you're making a point about.
The Hypocrisy.
One group who wishes to live free from persecution and attack
and one group who wishes to be allowed to persecute and attack

Noted.

Although we end up with the situation that those who should have more exposure to / understanding of certain life styles are the ones who withdraw !

The real 'story' is the highlighting of how incompatible Islam, is with modern society in any non-Islamic country.

The media are tiptoeing around it but the real clash is yet to be widely reported and be brought to wider and more obvious attention.

Islam is not compatible with any other belief system or societal construct.

If poor children weren't suffering it'd be popcorn worthy watching it play out.

More people need to ask themselves about the home, faith based indoctrination happening when the parents are strict followers of the literal word of the Koran.

I worry about it
It wasn't that long ago that our Prime Minister made a speech saying that it was wrong for kids to be taught that had an "inalienable right to be gay"
Section 28 was only repealed in 2000.
All parents are allowed to withdraw their kids from such lessons and many schools don't have them at all.

Posters are saying that this issue must cause problems for "liberals" - it's exactly the opposite of that. Social conservatives on the one hand demand integration and on the other support the right to withdraw from matters of social integration that they disagree with.
