Brent in North London may be the place where Britain's first Muslim Free School is established.
LM has made my position on Faith Schools abundantly clear on numerous occasions here and here. However to repeat myself I find all faith schools to be divisive segregating kids on the basis of religion and frankly no better than Apartheid South Africa or Northern Ireland during the Troubles between Catholics and Protestants.
Sadly we have historically allowed Christians and Jews to establish religious ghettos for kids which perpetuates their stranglehold on communities and not surprisingly other Faiths are joining the Apartheid route with Muslims leading the bunch.
How bizarre of the characters behind this proposal to talk about the school encouraging "integration" which is absolute nonsense and a complete inversion of the truth. While Muslim faith Schools are singled out for special attention in terms of fabricated stories by the usual suspects my desire which does sound a bit like Martin Luther King is for little Muslim, Jewish and Christian kids along with others of faith and Non Faith to be playing and fighting with each other in the same playground.
