An Open Letter to Ruth Kelly
-
"It is the mainstream Britain which needs to integrate more with the Muslim way of life, not the other way round."
I'm sorry, but this way of thinking is EXACTLY what is responsible for much of the xenophobia toward Muslims.
"One can learn hospitality, tolerance and generosity from Muslims."
Yes, like they showed at Bradford? 7/7? You look at something from a Muslim's point of view, OF COURSE Muslims are going to look innocent! Look at it from the common British view, and you will see that they do not differentiate between Muslims and Mu'min.
"Islam isn?t the sickness. It is the cure. It is one of liberty and equality."
When you make such bold statements, you MUST justify it. In this case, you either write a book, which is not possible in a bloody letter, or you refer to a book - this cannot be the Quran for obvious reasons.
Now, you just made all Muslims look like a bunch of high-and-mighty-holier-than-thou idiots. You reap what you sow, morons.

Peace Iftikhar Ahmad,
Islam isn?t the sickness. It is the cure. It is one of liberty and equality
The wise idea then should be to first practice this cure in Islamic countries and cure the sickness there.......make them ideal states, make them AN EXAMPLE that other would WANT to follow.
peace

Right.
Some people do not understand that the world does not revolve around people who claim to be Muslims ... -\
well said

if muslims want muslim schools so bad they can pay for it... simple
instead of putting those chandeliers in all those mosques and spending all that money on etched glass for partitions between the men and women maybe the funds could be used elsewhere...
that is if people actually care... or do they just want to complain to try and convince the government to foot the bill?
i hope you sent this letter to ruth kelly because i doubt she reads free minds forum P

Institutional racism, drugs, crime, incivility, binge drinking, teenage pregnancies and anti-social behaviour are common part of life in modern Britain. Muslim parents do not want their children to become integrated into such barbarity.
Majority of Muslim children leave schools with low grades because state schools with monolingual teachers are not capable to teach English language to bilingual children. The schools have also failed to teach Arabic, Urdu and other community languages, making them cut off from their cultural roots. As a result, they grow up to become angry young men.
Bilingual Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models. They need to be well versed in Standard English to follow the National Curriculum and go for higher studies and research to serve humanity. They also need to be well versed in their mother tongues and Arabic to keep in touch with their cultural heritage and enjoy the beauty of their literature and poetry.
A Muslim is a citizen of this tiny global village. He/She does not want to become notoriously monolingual Brits.

Yep, I'd say so. But that's the process of "integrating" into Earth.
