AN ISLAMIC campaign group has called for a Catholic primary school to be based on the Muslim faith.
The Campaign for Muslim Schools said 90 per cent of pupils at St Albert's Primary, in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow, are Muslim, yet children are having to take part in Catholic rituals like saying the Lord's Prayer and attending mass.
Osama Saeed, co-ordinator of the alliance of Glasgow's main mosques and Muslim organisations, said he could see no reason why the main faith of the school should not change.
He said: "Clearly the parents of that area find a faith school, even if it is of another denomination, preferable to a secular one. But surely it should be possible for them to have one that is relevant to their own faith.
"To move towards this would be a fantastic example of good faith - in more ways than one - on the part of the Church."
The call came just days after Scotland's most senior Catholic, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, sparked controversy by stating that Scotland's core faith was Christianity and that other faiths should recognise they were "living in Scotland as a Christian country". A spokesman for the Catholic Church in Scotland was not available for comment tonight.
hmmmmm
The coming battles. Coming to a town near you.
i've read this before.
AN ISLAMIC campaign group has called for a Catholic primary school to be based on the Muslim faith.
"this is fantastic. it would be like catholics sending their children to a muslim school in saudi arabia and then requesting that the school change its religion."
Exactly! If the Muslims want a faith based school, why don't they create their own instead of attempting to change a religion that has been around for hundreds, if not thousands, of years?

Lock and load.
This is interesting. Muslims would rather send their kids to Catholic schools rather than secular schools?
Now that you have converted, my former catholic friend, be a pal and take this back pack over to that group of people, then press this button and you will get a nice reward!
Closing rapidly on 2000 years.
imo
When push comes to shove, Saeed may find he is grateful. As it is now, he is headed straight to hell.
The difference is that the Europeans are committing cultural suicide. They are not having enough children. In a generation, or two, Muslims will be the majority in Europe and will rule it.
Well, that and the fact that Europe is tossing its own culture down the crapper and dabbling in as much multiculturalism as it can get its fingers on.
The birthrates are also huge. And then you have the huge waves of immigration from completely foreign cultures.
Will Cardinal Keith O'Brien have to change his name to Cardinal Mohammad O'Laden?
Soon Britain will be known as Dhimmiland!
kick 'em out of the school. aNd back to Saudia.
