A “right to freedom of religion” in Canadian schools for muslims, during class hours?

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/interest-groups-criticize-toronto-school-board-decision-on-islamic-prayers/article2089829/

[A diverse collection of interest groups is speaking out against the Toronto District School Board’s decision to accommodate Muslim students’ right to freedom of religion by allowing an imam to lead Friday prayers in a North York middle school cafeteria.]

* Are there any limits on muslim “rights” to do anything at all?

Lawyers could have fun with this –

[After days of silence, TDSB director of education Chris Spence issued the statement late Friday afternoon, saying Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms “supersedes” the Ontario Education Act, and that Toronto’s school board has a “responsibility and an obligation” to accommodate students’ faith needs.]

Any event or occasion can be spun to show how oppressed, fearful or marginalised muslims are, and the ABC & other media are willing to oblige. The 2011 Census this time:

Guarded Muslims ‘halve census figures’

[Islamic leaders believe their community in Australia is more than double the size of official figures.

They say many Muslims do not disclose their religion in official surveys like the census because they fear persecution.]

* Which islamic leaders say this?

[The chairman of the Islamic College of Brisbane, Mohammed Yusef, believes the families of some of the school's children are hiding their religion.

The school, on Brisbane's southern outskirts, was a graffiti target and the local mosque was burned down.

"There are a number of reasons. Let us be frank about it, following 9/11 people have been very concerned that they feel they will be targets," he said.

"So they believe if they disclose personal information it will be there in record, it will go to various other agencies where they do not want the information to go such as ASIO or any other such government agency."]

* Any others?

[Mr Yusef - who is also the president of the Islamic Council of Queensland - bases this estimate on the numbers turning up at mosques and community events.

Islamic leaders have been meeting with imams in the hope they will convince Muslims to open up about their religion.]

The ongoing takeover of Britain from within:

http://www.muslimsagainstcrusades.com/

THE ISLAMIC EMIRATE PROJECT GOES NATIONAL

[In light of this, Muslims Against Crusades would like to announce the second phase of the Islamic Emirate campaign; after receiving immense support from Muslims around the country, elated with the prospect of living under Shariah law, we would like to declare that in partnership with several (Muslim) businessmen, community leaders, and Islamic institutions the expansion of the project to a national level.

With Waltham Forest being the first test bed to introduce the possibility of a Shariah led governance in Britain it will also act as a springboard for other Muslim hotspots including: Manchester, Luton, Bradford, Birmingham, and Tower Hamlets to experience the new Islamic phenomenon that is taking over the country.

So as the tyrannical British government continues to target the Muslim community and force them to adopt their values, the Islamic Emirate Project will work to defy them, by uniting the Muslim community under shade of the Qur'an and become the real 'Big Society' that David Cameron never saw coming.

We ask Allah (SWT) bless this campaign, and give victory to the Muslims wherever they are. ]

[AUSTRALIA will host an international meeting of religious and cultural leaders next year designed to break down distrust between Jews, Muslims and Christians.

Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd told The Australian yesterday he wanted Australia to take a lead in promoting an interfaith dialogue designed to combat fundamentalist religious militancy as part of "an intelligent policy response" to global terrorism and faith-based conflict.

The event would highlight "essential commonalities between the Abrahamic faiths of Judaism, Islam and Christianity".]

Posterphobia in Britain

[Two Muslim teenagers have admitted defacing advertising hoardings featuring scantily-clad models and painting a 'burka' over them because they offended their religious views.

Mohammed Hasnath and Muhammed Tahir, both 18, used black paint to cover up the picture of a female model on a hoarding advertising Lynx deodorant.]

Academia muzzling freedom of debate of “burqa” by telling us that while we are free to debate things, sometimes we shouldn’t debate things (or something like that)

Australia’s burqa fallacy

[There was the recent Carnita Matthews court case, wherein footage caught by a dashboard camera proved she had wrongfully accused a police officer of trying to forcibly remove her niqab (face veil, not burqa). But this one incident, which occurred last year, surely cannot be grounds for debate.]

* Why can’t it? Who decides what can be “debated”, and the circumstances?

[But just because we can debate whatever we so choose, doesn't mean we should. As with any right there is the responsibility to exercise it judiciously. In the discussion about burqas this seems to have fallen by wayside.]

* Who decides whether a right has been exercised “judiciously”, or whether a discussion should be shut down?

More hurt feelings, insensitivity, racism, discrimination & all the rest, as muslim soccer player is ordered to have her red card appeal heard in a hotel function room. I wonder if her soccer club has a club room with a bar, & whether soccer is un-islamic anyhow, as is claimed …

Row over pub use in Muslim woman’s soccer case

[WA soccer is at the centre of a discrimination row after governing body Football West insisted that a disciplinary hearing involving a female Muslim player be held at a Perth pub last night.

Noranda Wolves player Hanan Anwan, 22, was given a red card and sent off during a Division 1 State Women's League match against Cockburn City on July 17 after an incident she and coach Gordon Doutre claim was sparked when the opposition goalkeeper attempted to pull off her religious headdress.]

[But Football West's insistence the appeal be heard at the Inglewood Hotel has touched off claims of insensitivity towards the religious belief of Ms Anwan, who has never been to a hotel or consumed alcohol.

"It's turned from a red card into a completely different issue," Ms Anwan said. "Something as simple as me just wanting to appeal against my red card so I don't have to miss games has turned into, I don't know what you would call it … racist issue? A discrimination issue? I don't know."]

[A DAD told his young daughter it was forbidden to play with non-Muslim children, a court has been told.

When he went to court seeking custody of the little girl, who was born in 2007, a federal magistrate said it was disturbing that he had tried to alienate the girl from the non-Muslim community in Australia, the Herald Sun reported.

The Federal Magistrates' Court, sitting in Victoria, heard that the girl had refused to play with another, fair-haired girl during a visit with a family counsellor.

The girl allegedly said "Baba says it is haram", explaining to her mother that she was not allowed to play with non-Muslim children.]

A mixture of ethnicities, races and nationalities stand side by side on the green plush carpet of the mosque and turn to Allah with hope and fear. The Turk shakes hands with the Australian; the Fijian girl drinks Arabic tea; and the Bosnians and Pakistanis wearily cleanup, preparing the kitchen for tomorrow’s iftar. The most memorable thing, perhaps the best thing about the mosque, is the harmony that exists between so many nationalities; a mini-United Nations if you will. Only in this case there really is cooperation.]

Hijacking the slaughterhouses to ensure halal food security:

Halal industry ‘must make strategic global acquisitions’

[Food security is a major issue in the GCC, what is the halal industry doing to address it?

Halal industry at this point of time is less exposed to the food security issues, as the control process is stricter than in the non-halal food industry. Under the halal process, the human presence in the process is much higher than regular process. Moreover, the halal industry cannot afford to have any food safety problems as it will affect the image of the whole industry. In summary, in the halal industry the controls are stricter than the other industries, so it is less prone to risk.

Globally and especially in the GCC region, food security is directly linked with population growth, demand and supply and an increase in the Muslim population. To safeguard the halal industry and major halal business groups from potential food security problems, the industry should begin strategic acquisitions of halal slaughterhouses internationally.]

Free Our Schools
Almost all children now believe they go to school to pass exams. The idea that they may be there for an education is irrelevant. State schools have become exam factories, interested only in A to C Grades. They do not educate children. Exam results do not reflect a candidate’s innate ability. Employers have moaned for years that too many employees cannot read or write properly. According to a survey, school-leavers and even graduates lack basic literacy and numeracy skills. More and more companies are having to provide remedial training to new staff, who can’t write clear instructions, do simple maths, or solve problems. Both graduates and school-leavers were also criticised for their sloppy time-keeping, ignorance of basic customer service and lack of self-discipline.

Bilingual Muslims children have a right, as much as any other faith group, to be taught their culture, languages and faith alongside a mainstream curriculum. More faith schools will be opened under sweeping reforms of the education system in England. There is a dire need for the growth of state funded Muslim schools to meet the growing needs and demands of the Muslim parents and children. Now the time has come that parents and community should take over the running of their local schools. Parent-run schools will give the diversity, the choice and the competition that the wealthy have in the private sector. Parents can perform a better job than the Local Authority because parents have a genuine vested interest. The Local Authority simply cannot be trusted.

The British Government is planning to make it easier to schools to “opt out” from the Local Authorities. Muslim children in state schools feel isolated and confused about who they are. This can cause dissatisfaction and lead them into criminality, and the lack of a true understanding of Islam can ultimately make them more susceptible to the teachings of fundamentalists like Christians during the middle ages and Jews in recent times in Palestine. Fundamentalism is nothing to do with Islam and Muslim; you are either a Muslim or a non-Muslim.

There are hundreds of state primary and secondary schools where Muslim pupils are in majority. In my opinion all such schools may be opted out to become Muslim Academies. This mean the Muslim children will get a decent education. Muslim schools turned out balanced citizens, more tolerant of others and less likely to succumb to criminality or extremism. Muslim schools give young people confidence in who they are and an understanding of Islam’s teaching of tolerance and respect which prepares them for a positive and fulfilling role in society. Muslim schools are attractive to Muslim parents because they have better discipline and teaching Islamic values. Children like discipline, structure and boundaries. Bilingual Muslim children need Bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods, who understand their needs and demands.

None of the British Muslims convicted following the riots in Bradford and Oldham in 2001 or any of those linked to the London bombings had been to Islamic schools. An American Think Tank studied the educational back ground of 300 Jihadists; none of them were educated in Pakistani Madrasas. They were all Western educated by non-Muslim teachers. Bilingual Muslim children need bilingual Muslim teachers as role models. A Cambridge University study found that single-sex classes could make a big difference for boys. They perform better in single-sex classes. The research is promising because male students in the study saw noticeable gains in the grades. The study confirms the Islamic notion that academic achievement is better in single-sex classes.

Twittering about Islam
06 September 2011

Conversations with Islam is the theme of an e-conference aimed at students in years 10 to 12, which will be presented by the Australian Catholic University.

It is intended to help open up for high school and college students an awareness and appreciation of Islam and Muslims that is not only integral to their studies in other subject areas but also essential to the strengthening of Australia’s social fabric.

The e-conference will run online from 10am-noon next Friday, 16 September, at http://www.acu.edu.au/conversationswithislam

Islam is religion of shit, not peace. I am from Iran and i have seen Islam first hand. To us the Iranians lived under the strict Islamic laws, Islam is a perfect pack of shitlaod written by a group of assholes and directed and played by a fagot child molester named great asshole of all time, the Mo, or Mohammed . any way lets fuck all the religions specifically islam .

Militants ‘will fight to the last drop of blood’
By Harry de Quetteville in Shatila camp, Beirut
12:01AM BST 25 May 2007

[Ibrahim abu Mohamed, who remembers meeting al-Absi, said in a Beirut room festooned with Palestinian flags: "They will fight to the last drop of blood. They are religious people who love to be martyrs for Islam. They want to meet God."]

[While al-Absi, a Palestinian born in the West Bank, has dedicated his life to fighting Israel, the aims of Fatah al-Islam are more closely linked to the global ideology of al-Qa'eda.

"We want to liberate Holy ground beginning with Lebanon and ending with Jerusalem," Abu Salim Taha, one of its fighters, said yesterday from inside Nahr al-Bared.

"We want Sharia law not atheist law. Every land Islam has entered must return to Muslim hands."]
