The Jewish school where half the pupils are Muslim

[scribblet]

This is a disturbing example of the differences between the two faiths in the U.K. which could help shed light as to why a percentage of British Muslims justify and want to kill their fellow Brits.

The Jewish school where half the pupils are Muslim

King David, in Birmingham, is a state primary where the children learn Hebrew, recite Jewish prayers, eat kosher food and wave Israeli flags. So how come the majority of pupils are followers of Islam? Jonathan Margolis investigates

The Jewish school where half the pupils are Muslim ,

But half the 247 pupils at the 40-year-old local authority-supported school are Muslim, and apparently the Muslim parents go through all sorts of hoops, including moving into the school's catchment area, to get their children into King David to learn Hebrew, wave Israeli flags on independence day and hang out with the people some would have us believe that they hate more than anyone in the world.

The Muslim parents, mostly devout and many of the women wearing the hijab, say they love the ethos of the school, and even the kosher school lunches, which are suitable because halal and kosher dietary rules are virtually identical. The school is also respectful to Islam, setting aside a prayer room for the children and supplying Muslim teachers during Ramadan. At Eid, the Muslim children are wished Eid Mubarak in assembly, and all year round, if they wish, can wear a kufi (hat). Amazingly, dozens of the Muslim children choose instead to wear the Jewish kipah.

and in contrast

At the Islamic King Fahd Academy at Bromyard Avenue in East Acton, London - they use textbooks ] which describe Jews as "apes" and Christians as "pigs" and has refused to withdraw them.

This is London: We do use books that call Jews 'apes' admits head of Islamic school

Truly a stirring article (link). The question is, why can't Muslim schools be as welcoming to Jewish or Christian pupils?

This is a disturbing example of the differences between the two faiths in the U.K.

Disturbing? I find it exciting and worthy of praise. It is a small light in a political darkness.

What I find disturbing is an outsider making it a one-sided issue.

I am sure there is more than one Muslim school in the UK.

The question is, why can't Muslim schools be as welcoming to Jewish or Christian pupils?

As an outsider, it sounds like you are generalizing and the first thing I think is: there must be more to the story. Also, I think your question is irrelevent. I will explain.

Let us say the answer to your question is: Muslim schools can NOT be as welcoming to Jewish or Christion pupils because X.

The next thing I wonder is: What the hell can X possibly be if the example in the opening post (Muslims attending Jewish school in the same country) exists?? Surely X can only be a ridiculous reason.

I do not care what the reason happens to be. The Jewish school that permits Muslim students is enough to convince me that ANY ANIMOSITY between the two peoples throughtout the ENTIRE WORLD is non-religious crap.

Or, why are they allowed to teach hate as in the 'pigs and apes' ?

The question is, why does X prevent one side from acting or cause them to act in a totaly opposite manner. Religion may not be the real reason for some but it is the excuse they use to justify their actions.

God forbid that sciblett should bring up a wonderful example of Jews and Muslims living together in harmony without trying to colour Muslims as villains, somehow.

If you look at that latter article closely, there is an important question in there: If the guy was teaching English at that school for NINETEEN YEARS, how the freakin' hell did it take so long for him to figure out that they were indoctrinating all of the children in complete hatred? Either he is a complete idiot, in which case is testimony is unreliable, or he is playing fast and loose with the truth, in which case his testimony is unreliable.
