Ofsted inspectors have approved the Veil for Muslim Schools
Odsted have this wrong
it will only get worse. 11 year olds do not need this backward step "At least three Muslim faith schools are forcing girls as young as 11 to wear face-covering veils with the blessing of Ofsted inspectors, it emerged yesterday."

I have just commented about this on your other thread Arista - talk about a hundred steps backwards. This is 2010 not 1510. Why on earth are we pandering to this visible and abhorrent sexist sign of female subjugation? Is no-one going to step in and help these BRITISH female muslims to gain equality and freedom? I feel sick to my stomach that these girls are being brainwashed, coerced and intimidated in a society like ours which supposedly promotes equality of the sexes, unless of course you happen to be muslim.

Fair enough. The D.Mail gets over angry - that what they are best at. It is only 3 Schools it was also on TV & Radio news today. |

Where else has this been covered arista? I've only seen the Mail's article on it, and even if they're 100% correct with what they say, the blame lies with Ofsted, it isnt a reason to discriminate against burqa-wearers as a whole. |

Well no doubt the Muslim Schools in question will be filing High Court writs as we speak because the articles aren't true:rolleyes: I won't be holding my breath though because we all know that the articles ARE correct. If Ofsted give in to one or two "test" schools, watch as the rest of them clamour for the same "rights". Another massive step backwards for women's rights. I can only assume the men who agree with these reactionary practices are male, chauvinist pigs.

Come back to me after reading that - and tell me that firstly the burka is worn by choice, secondly it doesn't represent female oppression and thirdly the wearing of it in public it does not pose a security threat to every person living in this country. |

LBC and Radio 5 had it. And ITV1 "AT" 5PM show debated it. |
I'm going to create a new religion where religious clothing includes a balaclava and a hoodie. Lets see if I'm allowed to wear that in public places

Did anyone watch that doc about Muslim faith schools a bit a ago? That pretty much confirmed it anyway. They were all in veils, and there was a 9 year old girl telling her 18 year old sister she is going to Hell for not wearing it. It's just wrong.

Hmm thats wrong I guess if the children are being forced to wear the full-faced veil, but I still believe that they should have the right to wear the veil should they so choose. I do disagree with the full-faced veil though - the veil where the face is visible is a lot more friendly. At least it isn't as bad as Muslim countries though - they actually wear veils that cover the entire face including the eyes! O.o

So what you are saying is regardless of the parents wishes or whatever school of islam (a bit like christian denominations) the particular founders governors and board of a school decide, they have no rights to do that?
The school is a voluntary fee paying school, if you dont want your daughter educated like that dont send her. There are other state run Muslim schools and other provate Muslim schools. Its not *******ing rocket science is it? |

If we allow Catholics, Jews etc to have thier own schools whether they be state assisted or private why shouldnt Muslims be able to have theirs too, or are you saying they should be treated separately because they are simply muslims and you dont agree with the way they treat women. Personally I wouldnt send my children to a Muslim school. But that is purely because of my distaste for Islam. But if people do want to send their children there, then why not? It is there choice for their children. Or would you prefer to deny them the choice they wish and just have little schools that you approve of? As for the garbage about brainwashing, dont you think the parents and family will be doing that anyway in most cases? |
