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?

I suggest you try reading what I actually said. Christian schools have been forced by legislation to allot a percentage of their places to children from other denominations. Muslim schools however refuse to take children from other faiths, (even supposing anyone would want to send their kids there), and there is no such legal compulsion on them. You really have a very poor grasp of Islam if you do not understand that it is not just a religion but an holistic way of life that permeates every thought, every action, every deed in a way that other religions do not. Central to Islam is the belief that women are inferior beings who are only in the world to do the bidding of men and to serve them without question. Before they are married they are the property of their male relatives, once they are married they become the property of their husband. She is never her own person. From the moment a girl is born she is indoctrinated to that belief and she faces a life of submission to men. If you do not understand why I, as a woman, find that offensive and abhorrent, that's not my problem.
