Some of the comments I have read about muslims not wanting their kids to mix, how cowardly we are, how we are imposing our religion on britain, how our kids who were born in this country are not really british, just makes me shake my head.

I remember a year or so back, Channel 4 (as part of a documentary) did some research and found that a high percentage of our population are not actually English if you use the BNP definition. Most people (be they white, black or brown) have some parts of their ancestry from other country.

Single sex schools existed in the UK for a long time. There are plenty of non muslim and non asian (the two can be very different - some people still fail to understand that) who prefer to send their kids to single sex schools. Are they just as 'cruel' as muslim parents for 'refusing to let their daughters mix with boys'

Single sex schools have existed in the UK as long as schools have. At least several hundred years.
It does seem to be the case that that people assume that everyone who is Asian is a Muslim, and every Muslim is Asian. This is a little like saying that to be Catholic you have to be Italian, or that every Italian is Catholic. Most people would agree that neither is true.
I have a few Muslim friends and I have to admit, I find that Muslims from some countries follow the Koran a little more rigidly than Muslims from others but, again, I have found the same with other religions. Having said that, there are exceptions. I used to have a friend who was white and English but converted and she followed the Koran more rigidly than anyone else I have met.

This morning I read that one in 5 men in the UK think its ok to slap their female partner (govt figures to be released later today I think). Why did it not suprise me that some of the Islamphobics on this forum would rather pick up on a bit of a non story then this one.

Sadly, we do, as a forum, appear to be attracting a more racist membership. While I am happy for people to have their own views (indeed, I encourage it even if I disagree with those views), I am not entirely happy with the amount of bordeline racist threads.
