The demand for state funded Muslim schools is in accordance with the law of the land. Muslim community is not asking for any favour. Muslim community pays all sorts of taxes and is less burden on social services.

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.

There are only 140 Muslim schools and only ten are state funded. All Muslim schools have lengthy waiting lists and all Muslim schools should be state funded. Only less then 5% of Muslim children attend Muslim schools while over 95% keep on attending state and church schools to be mis-educated and de-educated by non-Muslim monolingual teachers. Bilingual Muslim children need bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during theiur developmental periods.

Moving to another country? How about checking out the local customs first, rather than moving and demanding that your host country satisfy your every demand...or stay in your home country.

Welcome to your new country. Start to assimilate now. If you don't want to adopt the culture of your new country you are welcome to return to wherever it was you came from.

Muslim students should be forced to follow the traditions of german schools. No special privilages to any class of student. The german nationality need to be reinforced at schools specially at that age , because is when you create your loyalty to your country.

I would vote for any polititian that eliminate any discriminatory policy againt the majority.

Go to PRIVATE school (that you pay for in addition to your taxes--like everybody else). But keep in mind that once these students enter the workforce, no accomodations will be made there either.

Chilldren cannot be deprived of swimming lessons because of their pearents superstitions, their right to education trumps their pearents right to freedom of religion - which does not in fact extend to the right to controll their childerens belief and education. Equaly the state cannot be expected to pay for seperate swimming lessons, for no good reason. Seperating childeren based on gender or religion undermines social cohsion. If girls or boys want to opt out of swimming lessons when they're old enough, fine, but if its compulsory for us rational people, then its compulsory for muslims, christians, budhists, shiks, pagans, and people who belive in the father christmas.

Iftikhar Ahmad, there is no such thing as a Muslim child, only a child of Muslim parents.
All schools have bilingual teachers, they teach English, French, German, Italian, Spanish et al.

These immigrants should understand that these countries only pay lip service to democracy. They just talk about multiculturalism, but they are the worst at handling it. Only the west will praise 'diversity' and then ask you to 'assimilate'.

I'm sorry to say you have been hoodwinked at your visa consultants! Remember in the west as most other things 'Democracy' is actually 'Democracy*' you need to read the small print!
