Islamic supremacism on the march. This is how they move secular societies towards Islam. It's an unending process. The question really is..............how much more are the Brits going to swallow?
The thing is, if a child doesn't want to swim, fine. But to impose Islamic law across the board, that of course is a whole other thing. The prediction that the UK will be the first Islamic country in Europe seems reasonable and more than likely true.
America will not be able to save Europe. Not this time. We will be too busy trying to save our own from the enemy within.
Schools told 'no swimming in Ramadan' for Muslim pupils BBC (hat tip rs)
Swimming lessons in some Staffordshire schools should stop during Ramadan to ensure Muslim pupils "do not swallow water", a council has suggested.
Stoke-on-Trent City Council has issued an 11-page Ramadan guide for schools to help pupils who may be fasting when the school year starts in September.
It said swimming was acceptable to Muslims but posed a high risk of swallowing water that may break a fast.
Islam requires Muslims to fast from dawn until dusk for one month per year.
'Not disadvantaged'This year's Ramadan is expected to begin on or around 11 August and finish 30 days afterwards.
The council guide states: "Schools with a significant number of Muslim pupils should try to avoid scheduling swimming lessons during Ramadan to remove unnecessary barriers to full participation."
It also suggests re-scheduling sex education classes during the holy lunar month, as Muslim followers who have reached puberty are required to avoid sexual thoughts during this period.
Because of the religious requirement for Muslims to avoid eating during sunlight hours, some pupils get up before dawn to eat with their families.
Schools have been advised this can disrupt pupils' sleeping patterns and it suggests examinations could be re-scheduled to reflect their lower levels of concentration.
The council said the document, produced by its Standing Advisory Council on Religious Education, was based on information from the Muslim Council of Great Britain, an umbrella organisation that claims to represent up to 500 Muslim groups in the UK.
"The overriding consideration should be that children do not feel disadvantaged in school activities because of their religious observance," the council added.
For 3.2% of the area population. Eurabia Alert from Absurd Britannia: "Council forces schools to rearrange exams and cancel lessons to avoid offending Muslims during Ramadan," by Claire Ellicott in the Daily Mail, July 11 (thanks to all who sent this in):
Schools are being urged to rearrange tests, cancel swimming lessons and stop sex education to avoid offending Muslims during Ramadan.Head teachers in Stoke-on-Trent have been issued with the guidance for treatment of Muslim pupils who may still be fasting when the new term starts in September.
But critics dismissed the advice as 'over-zealous' bureaucracy and said all pupils would be forced to miss out on activities as a result.
During Ramadan, all Muslims who have reached puberty avoid eating or drinking between sunrise and sunset to encourage discipline and self-restraint.
To help them with this, Stoke council advises schools not to schedule exams or hold parents' meetings and social events after school.
They should also avoid swimming lessons because some parents and pupils consider the risk of swallowing water too great.
It even advises schools to cancel sex education because Muslims are expected to avoid sexual thoughts while fasting.
Although the guidance was specifically drawn up to help Muslims, it will affect every pupil in the 89 schools in the Potteries.
According to the last census in 2001, 3.2 per cent of the population of the city is Muslim. [...]
But Ruth Rosenau, a councillor, said: 'We live in a multicultural society and already accommodate Christian celebrations.
'So we're just asking teachers to be more aware and more accommodating of the Muslim ones....'
The problem is that that accommodation is always and everywhere one-way.
