The statement around take-up of faith in Muslim families and the linked website is to back up that claim.

However, unless you're singling out a specific religion for different treatment or restrictions, you either support parents teaching their religion to their children or you don't support it.

As the argument is that children learning Islam from their parents is a problem for the UK, then Sephiroth is arguing against all religious teaching of children.

I am also aware and have unfortunately contributed to dragging this thread into yet another discussion specifically about Islam, which is unfortunate.

Islam is only a part of Black, Asian and minority history and the history of the UK, and any issues with the Muslim faith shouldn't override the wider points that the original letter raised to the Education Secretary.

The Judeo-Christian ethic/culture contrasts with with its Islam counterpart as everyone knows. I will remind you of 9/11, 7/7 and the various terrorist incident since, causing death in the name of Islam. I've not the slightest doubt that the majority of Muslims in the UK are a credit to society. But I put it to you, that if they become the electoral majority, Muslim candidates will be the majority in Parliament and then the extremists will take over.

However, unless you're singling out a specific religion for different treatment or restrictions, you either support parents teaching their religion to their children or you don't support it.

I don't give a monkey's. What I don't want is for the UK to become a Muslim or Muslim dominated state. This seems to me to be a perfectly reasonable position.
