Here's a real shocker - the Islamic Republic of Tower Hamlets appears to have an even bigger 'issue' with schools than Birmingham.

There are some interesting priorities among some parts of this community - the below is from the application for the Al Madinah Free School and it appears to suggest that the local community consider getting the kids properly indoctrinated into Islam at an early age a higher priority than their life chances in the future.
Never mind homework, family life, social life or indeed being a child, Al Madnah's pitch was that the school would allow parents to not force feed their kids their religion after school from the age of 5 on a daily basis and instead outsource it to Al Madinah to do the indoctrination during the day.
No bloody wonder Muslims have the highest economic inactivity rate in the country along with a whole bunch of other social and economic factors where they come bottom of the demographic pile when they treat their kids in this way.
Awesome.
Rant over - this just wound me up chronically. I don't see Allah helping dysfunctional families and Mohammed is hardly a great example of how to live.
