You are a Muslim and go to the Mosque I am pretty sure they teach you the rules early on you then choose to live by them or not simple

The differences in religions are complicated whether or not you live by the laws of said religion is you got it simple
OK.. Explain this. I have been to weddings at two Catholic churches (actually more, but two of them fit this example well). At one, the priest denounced all non-believers (ie me) as Heathens and they should be treated as such. At another, the priest said that Catholics should welcome all people. Believers and non-believers. Two priests, both using the same Bible, and both supposedly teaching the same thing. Yet not.

You may say well that the gym is being used after school hours, that still does not matter seeing as the gym is based inside the school (correct me if im wrong) and the girl students are bound to be there as it is school facility which the parents are paying for.

If this was an ordinary comprehensive school then I would have sympathized with many people on here but what I'm trying to say is the parents argument is justified for this specific case. Media propaganda eh lol seems to be the new fashion "all these Muslims in our country are corrupt and terrorists".
Actually, that is a good point.. The school is privately owned so they can hire out the space to whomever they wish.
