Has Islam completely destroyed your critical faculties, or are you simply too lazy to compose a response that goes deeper than “Fear and ignorance is the basis for prejudice and bigotry”, which you stuck under another post on this site?

Finally, you complain that state schools “anglicise” their puplis. Of course they do. That’s their JOB. This is England, after all, not Pakistan or Saudi Arabia. If you want Muslim chidren taught by Muslim teachers, please feel free to send them to an ISLAMIC country.

Muslim youths are angry, frustrated and extemist because the state schools with monolingual non-Muslim teachers have robbed them of their cultural roots and their literature and poetry. They have been in a wrong place and a wrong time during their developmental periods. They have been mis-educated and de-educated by the British educational system.

They do not belong to British society because it is a home of institutional racism. They do not belong to the Muslim community because the state schools have destoyed their native languages by making them anglicised. They are not well versed in standard English, therefore, majority of them leave schools with low grades. They do not know where they belong. They are unable to sit down with their parents and elders to have a fruitfull converstions and discussions on any of their social and emotional problems.

Bilingual Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or teacher in a Muslim school. Even a native Muslim teacher is not a role model for bilingual Muslim children. The Muslim community has seen the attitudes of a native Muslim teacher in a Muslim school. This is an eye opening for other Muslim schools who happily employ native speaking Muslim teachers. It is an educational issue. They are not role models for bilingual Muslim teachers.

The lyrics are:

RELIGION

The land is just the land
Like the sea is just the sea
No land is ever ‘promised’
No land is ever ‘holy’
These are just words people say
Just thoughts that lead them astray
These are just myths of history
Just ignorance and stupidity

Religion poisons everything
Religion is the original sin
The pedophile priest
The suicide bomber
The plane into the tower
The daughter killed for ‘honour’

And a child is just a child
Not a Muslim or a Jew
Not a Shiite or a Sunni
Not a Christian or a Hindu
These are just labels we sell
To those still innocent and free
When they are much too young to tell
Reality from fantasy

Religion is the great mistake
Religion is the trust we break
The poison in the playground
The suspicion of the other
The faith school and madrassa
Brother killing brother

And a book is just a book
Just words upon a page
There is no ‘holy scripture’
All writing is man-made
There is no afterlife to fear
No God to which we have to bow
The simple rule for living here
Is just kindness - in the here and now

Religion paralyses minds
Religion is the past that binds
The idiot evangelists
Disputing evolution
The crusade and the jihad
And the ‘final solution’

Religion poisons everything
Religion is the original sin
