Did you watch the news about STATE schools in Birmingham where they are being investigated about hard-line Muslim teachings?

Where the Moslem religion is forced on pupils in STATE schools?

Where in certain places in the U.K Christmas decorations are not being put up ‘not to offend’ the Moslems? Or calling Christmas ‘festival of light’?

Is that how you and the goody goodies want our country which was never a coloniser to become? Why also is this obsession about filling Malta and Europe with Moslems?

[Daphne – Silvio, I’m afraid your information is wrong and comes mainly from scaremongering stories in certain types of newspapers. Britain, like Malta and the rest of Europe (and the civilised world) espouses religious freedom. This means that everybody is free to espouse and practise his or her religion, that nobody can be stopped from doing so, and that people cannot be discriminated against because of their religion. You appear to believe that because you are a Catholic, then you are not alien to British culture and that you share a common culture with the British which makes Muslims alien to both. In reality, Catholics are culturally alien to British society, and for half a millennium were treated as rank outsiders after sporadic bouts of out-and-out persecution. Catholics are still viewed with suspicion by many British people and scathing observations about Papists are the norm. Yet there are many Catholic schools in Britain and some of them are very famous indeed. They exist precisely because Britain does not have a law against faith schools, but rather laws which ensure that the freedom to set up and run faith schools is protected. If Britain allows Catholic schools, then it follows that it should also allow schools for Muslims. I happen to disagree with faith schools of all kinds on principle – I think that gender and religious segregation for children at school are bad ideas and give them the wrong attitude for life, in which there can be no such segregation. However, I fully respect the right of people to set up and run such schools, and the right of other people to send their children to them.]

Doesn’t quite work with my Zoppas.

Pretty apt.

Ghandek ragun re: il-gvern, Marco.

Ghax qed jirnexxilu jitfa’ dell ikrah fuqu nnifsu b’mod eccellenti.

What man?

Lanqas taf x’inti tghid, QATT MA KIENU BANNED MHUX VERU U TIGDIBX. Ilhom isiru mijiet ta snin it tigrijiet taz zwiemel u qatt ma gew banned. U titfax dell ikrah fuq il gvern, grazzi.

Kompli hedded, ja njorant, nahseb xi gifa bhalek ser iwerwira.

It makes me sick to the stomach seeing such behaviour. Why is it being encouraged instead of banned?
