The Catholic Church in Britain now refuses to teach Islam as part of its GCSE religious studies curriculum, disappointing the country's Muslim leaders.
Under the new rules based on last year's reforms to the GCSE exam, only Judaism will be taught in tandem with Catholicism, excluding Islam and every other faith.
The decision to drive out Islam stemmed from an incident known as the 'Trojan Horse' plot, in which Muslim schools in Birmingham were known to have teachers pushing fundamentalist Islamic teachings on the students.
Sir Iqbal Sacranie, former secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, has called the decision "very disappointing" and urged British cleric Cardinal Nichols to rethink his position.
"This is not a good decision," complained Sacranie. "It does not reflect well on the messages that are coming out from the Church for greater tolerance of other faiths. This is a difficult time for religions and the last thing you would expect is a major faith making such a statement."
According to Paul Barber, the director at the Catholic Education Service, students being taught in the Jewish faith alongside Christianity complies with the bishops' edict that students be given a solid grounding in Christianity, considering Judaism's ancestral link to Christianity.
Catholic Church refuses to teach Islam ...
As it should be!
Sounds good to me.
Good news for a change.
.
And what religions do the mosques teach?
Some common sense for once.
YES! |
What religions does islam tolerate?
Oh, I’m sure they teach about Catholicism or Christianity. /s
None!
(Excepting the purest form of Islam, over which Muslims have been disagreeing and killing each other for centuries).
Religion of Peace, my infidel foot!
If the Catholic Church taught Islam as it is in reality vs. the PC version, these Muslim leaders would really be disappointed.
I would like to teach about it.
Everyone should wake up and do this, among other things.
Now only if we could get the public schools in America to ban it. I remember ancient history classes in middle school and high school, did lessons on Islam/Muslims but would not even mention Christianity which pre-dates Islam or Judaism which pre-dates Christianity.
I asked the question why we won’t learn about Christianity but we had to know Islam and be tested on it. And the teacher’s response was, we all know about Christianity so what would you learn?
Seriously that was the response
Hey Iqbal!
How much Catholicism do Muslims teach?
ya...that’s what I thought....I’m very disappointed....
True modern tolerance would be making Muslims learn about Christianity, atheism and Judaism.
Good!
WHY NOT!!!! The Koran teaches the Muzzies that Christians are infidels and must be destroyed so why should we teach
Islamic hatred in our schools ?
WHY would the Catholic Church teach anything that WASN’T Catholic??
I've heard lapsed Catholics utter the very same statements.
