A Muslim school in England insists that it has nothing wrong although being caught with text books that referred to Christians and Jews as monkeys and pigs. Will Muslims in England condemn this outrageous behaviour? all the best urban

Probably not, if past experience is anything to go by. Muslims seems to be forming more and more of a ghetto situation in the towns and countries they emigrate to. Certainly you can understand this to a degree, but they don't assimilate with the main population, and this is only going to cause more and more conflict.

I have to agree as I see it here everyday. They all tend to live in the same areas and do not learn the languages here so.... can't obtain gainful employment because they can't communicate. They are often poor because of this and create more crime because of it. They tend to not want to integrate or be a part of society. I wonder why they bother leaving their country if they just want to bring their problems with them to the new one? Seems like a wasted effort. We aren't about to learn their language here to cater to them.

Sadly I doubt that they will. I am not Racist at all, I have friends from all races, but I cannot deny that even the so-called moderate Muslims in the UK, are less moderate than they would have us believe. After all, the 7/7 London bombers, were all born and bred here, and after that incident, none of the Muslims I worked with were prepared to condemn them, - rather they said they were being victimised, and there was no proof they were responsible! Also, I remember after 9/11, when we had a minutes' silence in the office, none of the Muslims observed it. It is vey sad, that while we bendover backwards to be politically correct here, they do not do the same.

The school insists it has nothing wrong. If it is as you have said then it is indeed a matter of concern. Islam does not allow this kind of behavior indeed. May I ask what text books are they. What exactly is written in them. We should not jump on to any conclusions just reading part of the story.

No, I really do not have any idea of what books you are talking about. Besides, as you also have not mentioned any book, not being told to you, by the source that has revealed this news to you, I very much doubt there is some sort of disinformation involved into it. Unless I have complete picture, I am in no position to make any comment. Bus as I have mentioned it above clearly. My religion does not support/promote/engage into any such activity.

As you are aware that the school says it has done nothing wrong I presume you also know what the books are? all the best urban

I already stated what the Qran says about respecting the Abrahamc religions here- www.mylot.com/w/discussions/770589.aspx Its shameful that many Muslims blindly follow Muslim scholars and ignore their own holy book. I´m pming some mates in England to see if there´s anything being done there.

If this school is state funded, funding should be withdrawn until these books are removed. I hadn't heard of this so obviously not such a big deal is being made out of it. This sort of behavior should never be ignored, as the authorities seem to do, constantly.

They are seeming to take offense and make a deal about it, which is important to show the "moderate" muslim immigrant community (which actualyl isn't that moderate at all) that this kind of behavior isn't tolerated and that dhimmitude will not be allowed. heres another news source where the textbook is defended: http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/015161.php

That is exactly the problem that the moderate Muslim community won't condemn is malefactors all the best urban

Well of course, what does it mean to take something out of context? Exactly to interpret it without recourse to further text; con = with and text is of course words. However, not all language needs additional text to be interpreted correctly, meaning is usage and if I exclaim 'pig' every time a pig is in sight, even if I mean "look there is a patch of ground 1m to the left of a patch of ground 1m to the right of a pig" still I electively mean 'pig.' And if I liken one race to what ever word I exclaim on seeing a pig, then unless I can explain some very good reason why not I am deriding that race. The burden of proof remains with Arabs to explain why this is not the case. all the best urban
