Muslim prayer rooms should be opened in every Roman Catholic school, Church leaders have said.
The Catholic bishops of England and Wales also want special toilet facilities in schools to be adapted for Islamic cleaning rituals.
Their demands will shock both Catholic parents and the Government because they go way beyond the legal requirements on catering for the rights and needs of religious minorities.
But the bishops are keen to answer critics who say religious schools sow division - and to show that they are leading the way in building bridges between people of different faiths.
The bishops acknowledge in a new document proposing the measures that 30 per cent of pupils attending Catholic schools hold a non-Christian faith.
"If practicable, a room (or rooms) might be made available for the use of pupils and staff from other faiths for prayer," the bishops said in the document, Catholic Schools, Children of Other Faiths and Community Cohesion
"Existing toilet facilities might be adapted to accommodate individual ritual cleansing which is sometimes part of religious lifestyle and worship,” they said.
"If such space is not available on a permanent or regular basis, extra efforts might be made to address such need for major religious festivals."
The Islamic cleansing ritual, called "Wudhu", is carried out by Muslims before they pray.
Islam teaches that Muslims are unfit for prayer if they have not performed Wudhu after breaking wind or using the toilet.

And maybe a place to put your heads while they chop your heads off that would be nice.
Jeez. What’s next? Muslims kids who attend Roman Catholic schools objecting to Catholicism being taught?
I’m sorry, but this begs the obvious question: “How many Muslims ATTEND Catholic schools? It makes no sense.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
The UK catholic bishops and the bishops of the US Episcopal very gay church of America are all bending over to be helpful and accomodating...
Do do that Wudhu that you do so well.........
They will install large wooden blocks on the playground. The blocks will be about the same height as the neck of someone that is bent over while kneeling.
The Pope needs to cut the links with these idiots.
Unless perhaps the muslims are willing to share their ritual rooms with the Jews who attend Ctaholic school, of course.
Next they will no doubt wish to have all statues and pictures of Saints and Deities removed as an offence to the koran.
(PS: What is any muslim kid doing in Catholic school anyway? Not worshiping Jesus as a God, for sure. Maintaining a polite and respectful silence while his classmates do? Doubtful)
To kill the infidels ... what else could it be?
News flash- “Satanists demand facilities in Churches for human sacrifice. Bishops are supportive.”
Oh wait I suppose the Slime prayer rooms already cover that.
Three Guillotines so there’s no waiting.
Mindless tolerance will be the death of Western Civilization.
