SPL : First Muslim-only school to receive state sponsorship
The Islamia school in North West London was the first Muslim school to achieve state-sponsorship. It claims to have a waiting list of 2,500, and achieves good results. But this is its admissions policy:
"The aim of the School is to produce total Muslim personalities through the training of children's spirits, intellect, feelings and bodily senses. Education at Islamia caters for the growth of students in all their spiritual, intellectual, imaginative, physical, scientific and linguistic aspects, both individually and collectively, motivating all these aspects towards goodness. The ultimate aim of Islamic education is the realisation of complete submission to Allah on the level of the individual, the community and humanity at large. Islamia Primary School promotes an ethos of positive yet critical and non-confrontational dialogue within general society. We aim to educate our children to participate effectively and constructively within society from within a spiritual, Quranic and Prophetic perspective through the means of example, dialogue and positive communication. In particular, a dignified and measured response to all manner of situations is an essential part of the ethos taught at our school. The above are all aimed at improving and contributing to the society that we live in and to communicate the Deen of Allah to all people through positive and constructive interaction."

I am glad to see that tax payer's money is being used to educate children in fiction and nonsense.
Indeed. And this post wasn't an exercise in anti-Islamism - C of E and Catholic schools are similarly damaging, although generally their constitutions are more moderate.
SPL - I didn't think it was intended to be anti-muslim. I also agree with your comments regarding C of E and catholic schools.
i personally believe this a positive step in the right direction. A Guardian article after last july's bombings stated that islamic schooling can be an aid to stopping the raise of radicalisation and extremism as it provides an indepth analysis of the faith and ensure deviant thoughts by radical preachers cannot be promoted.
shame to say the athiest members of this forum are so closed minded, its such members who caused communism to kills millions of theists. in the curretn age we need intellectual discourse rather than offensive drivel!!!
