You're kind of moving away from the point I was making - my comment was that neither you or I really know enough about the teachings in Islamic schools to be able to speak with proper authority (I hasten to add that's not a dig of any kind) and you being part of a group that actively campaigns against it is hardly likely to give a balanced view. I'm not saying your group is wrong etc but it would be like Dick Dawkins chairing a debate about whether or not Religion is good for you.

If the BHA found some evidence that keeping faith schools or ensuring RE stayed mandatory I'd have to question whether they would publish it so hastily. Maybe they would, but I'm not so sure.
