Muslim Community and Sex Education

[Iftikhar]

Salaam

Muslim community must protect the Islamic values in terms of the parameters of halal and haram, the values of marriage, hayaa, the prohibition of relations outside of marriage and the prohibition of homosexuality. British Establishment is trying its best to anglicanise Islam.

Muslim parents would like to send their children to state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school.

Bilingual Muslim children need to learn and be well versed in Standard English to follow the National Curriculum and go for higher studies and research to serve humanity. At the same time, they need to learn and be well versed in Arabic, Urdu and other community languages to keep in touch with their cultural roots and enjoy the beauty of their literature and poetry. A Muslim is a citizen of this tiny global village. He/she does not want to become notoriously monolingual Brit.

There are hundreds of state and church schools where Muslim pupils are in majority. In my opinion, all such schools may be designated as Muslim community schools.
