New curriculum will 'make every lesson politically correct'

[x42bn6]

Did they also know that if they served Halal food, more Muslim children are likely to come to that school? Same applies to restaurants. Business! Use!*

Islams(or w/e the plural is) I've heard are taught to hate jews and christians, that if they are to have a perfect world, all jews and christians have to die, or something. Saw it on the news.

He means that if schools and restaurants started to serve Halal food (food that Muslims can eat) then they would get more customers, as Muslims will eat there. This makes business sense as it widens the market and increases revenue.

Wow, I've heard some of the misconceptions people have about Islam, but I've never heard something as stupid as that before. Did you get that from Fox News by any chance?

Seriously, I think you should know that there is no such teaching in Islam. We Muslims are taught to invite people to our religion. We are not taught to hate Jews and Christians. In fact, the Qur'an refers to them as "the People of the Book", meaning the people who believed in the the past books of God, the Torah and the Bible. Islamic law (Shari'ah) allows for the freedom of religion, and this was evident in Medieval Islamic civilisations. When Jews were persecuted by the Christians in Medieval Europe, many migrated to Muslim lands in Spain. And even today you will find Muslims very tolerant and respectful of other religions. In Malaysia (where I come from) we have a Muslim majority, and Buddhist, Confucian, Hindu, and Christian minorities, yet hate-crime is practically unheard of. This is because if a land is ruled under Islamic rule, the government has a duty to protect it's people and their freedom of religion. Islam is by no means an intolerant religion.

Small note: A person whose religion is Islam is called a Muslim.

They don't want more customers or they would let everyone buy it, including the English.

Well I guess they may have a shortage of the Halal meat, or else I don't see why they can't standardise the entire menu to contain Halal meat. As far as i know, non-muslims generally don't mind eating Halal food (as the only difference is that the meat is slaughtered differently). Here in London many restaurants use Halal meat in all their dishes, but if they don't the vegetarian option is always available for Muslims.

didnt you hear about the hatecrimes against each muslim group in afghan? the sunnis were attacking *muslim group* and *muslim group 2* was attacking *muslim group 3* etc.

i dont know the exact details but i heard there was alot of hatred between different muslim groups.

@ topic, the new project is going to fail miserably. not only are the children going to get substandard education in the name of "mulitculturism" but the "multiculturism" wont get into their minds either.

the best CoA would be to integrate the communities together. expose terrorists on TV less or whatever. the main faer of islamism comes from their terrorist things.
