Sauce for the Goose and Not the Gander

Sometimes the Muslim Council of Britain overreaches itself and the mask slips off, as in the case of its latest decree report that demands suggests that British school effectively ban all "un-Islamic" activities in deference to Muslim students no matter how few, if any, are in attendance. The report calls for a ban on such infidel activities as mixed-sex sports, dancing, drawing the human form, and giving immunisation shots during Ramadan, but the money quote from the Daily Express is this one (emphasis added):

And while the MCB insists that all British children should learn about Islam, it wants Muslims to have the right to withdraw their children from RE lessons dealing with Christianity and other faiths.

Apparently religious accomodation is a one-way street at the MCB.

The report was roundly condemned by other Muslim groups and all but disowned by the Department of Education, which is already suffering intense embarrassment from having Professor Tim Brighouse, chief adviser to London schools, scheduled to attend its launching.

The report's title, "Towards Greater Understanding – Meeting The Needs of Muslim Pupils In State Schools", is a beautiful study in Newspeak. If the contents are to be taken at face value, "meeting the needs" of Muslim pupils requires their infidel colleagues to accept dhimmitude.

Welcome to the 7th century.
