Its late and so i won't reply to this fully, but I'm sure it will run and run. I'm struggling to see the point of this posting other than to stir up bad feeling. You seem to mix a lot of your own opinions in with unsupported or referenced 'facts'. You make strong statements some of which have reasonable points buried in them somewhere, then counter it with homophobic comments and assume people will agree with you. Just because something 'used to be regarded as a mental illness' doesn't make it true, we as a culture 'used' to drill holes in peoples heads for relief from migraines. Research, intelligent understanding and 'Science' tell us otherwise.If this article were written in reverse, it would be strongly considered racist, so again, I'm not sure on your point. Many things about the Muslim community I'm sure are, as you phrase it, 'eye opening', to others, but it is through understanding and co-operation that societies move forward. Not small mindedness, it seems you are proposing single faith schools, which going by received wisdom (i.e what people used to think), then in a primarily Christian country historically you would not be allowed the freedom and choice to do so. However following that line of thought, once you have set up a solely Muslim school, along with the Catholic, C of E, Jewish and Athiest school. Then divided those into class/economics, because surely just as the upper classes have created Private Schools to educate their little darlings away from the riff raff, then so to would wealthy Muslims want to educate their children away from the poor child unfortunate enough to born on a housing estate. And where does all this division lead, to a lack of understanding and tolerance of each other, to a further divisive society and then we may all learn the meaning of 'Broken Britain', rathe than the handy but utterly meaningless political phrase it is. Much mud can be slung at anyones culture or religious choice, Christians, Muslims, Jewish, Palestinian and every other religion and none. All have wronged, against other beliefs and within there own. There is no point to such statements, no one has the high moral ground. And the sooner this is grasped the sooner the possibility of a more harmonious future. I could move to any society in the world and find things I find barbaric, backwards, wrong or bigoted. So well done you for that achievement. What exactly have you achieved?
