    • @Masowe.
      @Masowe. 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +48

      Thats not true. As a Christian, i can pray anytime of the day. The difference between Muslims and Christians is that Christians can pray anywhere anytime and anyhow. Average Christians pray before meals, before start learning, before talking with someone something deep and so on. We even fast too. We just shouldn't make it obvious to anyone that's why we are kept out of these discussions. Jesus tells us to go in privacy when we want to pray so we can ask for a room if possible but not required. The same is for other religious groups. Generally speaking, Muslims tend to be more vocal about prayers but lots of religious groups like Hindus would want a room too. Its not practical

      The school is state-funded. Current law requires all state-funded schools in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to hold daily acts of ‘Collective Worship’.

      Unfortunately, Muslims generally do not want to mix with 'unbelievers'. The problem is that many Muslim children don't take it that seriously, but there is a real push these days from the more devout Muslims to make them toe the line. Hence why it is different now from the 1980s.

      My 60/70s high school had one Muslim, Abdul, and one Jew, Ben. Great lads. They were excused the morning assembly which was Church of England based, with hymns, prayers, and a bible reading. I joined them as I declared I was Atheist, which caused some consternation.
      ( I bought two tickets off Ben for a concert because he couldn't go, which is how I managed to see Led Zeppelin in 1971 for the princely sum of £1 = $2 or so. Thanks, Ben! )

      Such antisocial and intolerable behaviour by indoctrinated children has been allowed to persist by consistent governments that have created the necessary conditions in which ghetto's are formed by having a high concentration of people of a particular faith.
      Resulting in dogmatic diktats by the minority imposing its will, their sensibilities and cultural norms upon others turning a school into a religious school at whim of the mob.
      New laws must be introduced for a no nonsense approach which vehemently states that any child or parent exhibiting such behaviour will be relayed to the home office and they will revoke the citizenship's of the family and children resulting in their deporting within 48hrs to Rwanda or from whence they came as well as being issued with a lifetime immigration ban.
      This is where the state can prevent the ghettoisation of towns and communties across Britain and re-establish order.

But saying that I feel sorry for the children having to move school, also the fact that it sounds like they are being brainwashed and radicalised by their parents. This has be stopped in its tracks, it's ridiculous thats it's allowed to happen in England in 2024. We will end up like a third world country if it's not nipped in the bud!

    This Headteacher is a very successful one - she should be allowed to carry on running her school her way.

    I think it is absolutely wrong that we have faith based schools in this country in 2024. Schools should be not just for learning knowledge but also for social integration. Children who have immigrant parents who don't want their offspring to integrate can use faith schools as a means of isolating their children from the world - especially girls. Just for this one reason faith based schools should be banned and religion removed totally other than religious education teaching children what religion is and the differences - nothing more. It really make me sick.

      @bordedup546, the term "independent" is too broad. Should we prohibit "independent thoughts" that unicorns are real and Jewish people drink blood? Absolutely, 100%. This is why we established schools - to educate the younger generation about the fundamental principles of how the universe and society function. There's little room for "independence" when it comes to basic truths like 2 × 2 = 4. Always!
