The prescription for decreasing radicalization is economic prosperity. It's not the whole solution to the problem, but chaotic situations in society benefit the have nots. However, if you give the have nots properity, the idea of creating chaotic situations is harmful to their own intersts.
If I was a poor Muslim teenager with very few job prospects, I would be ripe target for radicalization because I want to change society. If I was a Muslim teenager with a future in Univeristy or my own small business, I wouldn't want to cause any calamities which would prevent me from achieving my goals.

Well look at the link it says it all. The blame is everyone else but the individual. So I'm pissed because schools don't value my faith and culture.

If it is State funded, what role other than providing funding would the State play?

London School of Islamics is an educational Trust. Its aim is to make British public, institutions and media aware of the needs and demands of the Muslim community in the field of education and possible solutions. The demand for state funded Muslim schools is in accordance with the law of the land. I do not blame the parents, Imams and Masajid for the plight of the Muslim youths. All Muslim youths suffer from identity crises because they find themselves cut off from their cultural roots, literature and poetry. All of them lack self-confidence and self-esteem. British education has made them st**id. They have become economic slaves of the British society. They do not know where they belong. They are unable to enjoy the beauty of their literature and poetry. A man is a product of his culture, language and faith. They go hand in hand. The solution of all the problems is state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models right from nursery classes. The Charter of Islam teaches true tolerance and equality and indeed is more acceptable to all people of the world than the United Nation Human Rights Charter. Islam does not just mean a beard, a cap and a bunch of self-interpreted fatwas. Accoding to a research by Goldsmiths, university of London, bilingual learning can provide substantial benefits for second and third generation children whose families speak a language other than English. Even when children have grown up in the UK with English as their stronger language,using both languages aids cognitive development and strengthens their identity as learners. It is crucial that schools support c hildren's mother tongue through bilingual learning activities connected with the mainstream curriculum. Now Primary National Strategy recognises the value of bilingualism and promotes early language learning. Policy makers need to encourage good practice in schools, otherwise, the potential benefits of bilingual leaning will be lost to future generations. The research also discovered that many second and third generation children are in danger of losing these skills if they do not have opportunities to develop their mother tongue through academic work at school. Bilingual children who learn in their family's language as well as English do better at school. It is very important that parents continue to talk to their children in their first language. It is absurd to say that Muslim schools threaten the social cohesion of the nation. Diversity is a blessing and we should feel proud of diversity. The real threat to social cohesiondoes nt come from Muslim parents but from government that seeks to force these parents to conform with the state's ideas about how and what their children should be taught. There is no evidence that Muslim schools are undermining social cohesion. |

Given that the government is paying the bill seems realistic they would have ideas about how and what students are taught. Edited by abuayisha - 23 September 2008 at 11:01am |

Prophet Muhammad did not have a problem with nonmuslim teachers teaching muslim students. So why do we?
I remember reading in Islamiyat back in middle school, that after a war, the 'ransom/bail' of the non-muslim POWs was to teach 10 muslim children . . .after which they would be released.
The teacher should be the one most qualified, and knowledgable . . . if it is a Muslim, subhanallah . . . if its not . . .then a non-muslim is the better option. As long as you are not teaching religion.

"The right to education in one�s own comfort zone is a fundamental and inalienable human right that should be available to all people irrespective of their ethnicity or religious background. Schools do not belong to state, they belong to parents."
Wrong, it is a state school and the state has a say in what the students learn based off the requirements the states set. If you are wanting a Muslim teacher teaching Islamic teachings then maybe you should send your child to a private school. As long as everyone's tax money is going to that public school then religion should have nothing to say about it. That is what the private schools are meant for. Would you have a problem with your tax dollars going to a catholic school that its teachings are based off what the parents want taught if they are the majority in the school? What if the majority of parents want the teachings to reflect that Islam teaches evil? True or not it is the same thing you are asking for. How about the athiest? Should they get their own school that is paid by your tax dollars? Edited by ops155 - 26 November 2008 at 2:38pm |
