Honour Killing
Honour killing and female infanticide come from Pagan-Hindu-Judeo-Christiantraditions. Hindus idolise women as Goddesses on one hand, while downgradingthem on the sly at the same time.
There is nothing in the Holy Quran and theHadiths that may encourage people to kill their daughters. Infact, Islam came to abolish the dark ages of Pagan- Hindu -Judeo- Christian traditions.
Islam is a matter of choice and there is no compulsion at all. It is amisconception that forced marriage and honour killing are part of Muslimculture. Forced marriage, honour killing and genital mutilation are rarepractices among migrant communities.
Muslim migrants are worried aboutinstitutional racism, binge drinking, drug addiction, incivility, gun andknife crimes, high rate of abortions and teen age pregnancies. An average of20 English girls under the age of 16 falls pregnant every day. Muslimparents do not want their children to be integrated into such barbarity.Muslim women feel torn between two cultures, thanks to the British educationsystem with non-Muslim monolingual teachers. It makes their lives veryconfusing.
The tragedy of forced marriage and honour killing could have been avoidedif the poor girls were educated in a single sex state funded Muslim schoolsby female Muslim teachers. Educational attainment rises quite significantlyif boys and girls are educated separately. The tragedies are an eye openerfor all those Muslim parents who send their children to state schools wherethey are exposed to non-Muslim teachers who have no respect for Islamicfaith and Muslim community and do not understand the needs and demands ofthe Muslim children. Muslim schools are crucial for Muslim children becausewestern education makes a man/woman stupid.
The hypocrisy of the Westernsociety is clearly seen whereas an Australian Judge failed to jail ninemales who admitted gang-raping a 10-year old aborigine girl in 2005, sayingthe victim probably agreed to have sex with them and a UNICEF Photo of theyear shows, a bridegroom, 40, with his 11-year old bride in Afghanistan. Inmy opinion, a UNICEF photo of the year must show a nine year British girlhaving a baby and another photo showing a gang of teenage girls withanti-social behaviour and vomiting out side a pub, thanks to binge drinking.Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools with Muslim teachers asrole models during their developmental periods. Muslim schools are thesolutions and not a problem.
They help to strengthen community cohesion, notundermine it. Muslim schools stand as shining beacons of light, serving asone of the most crucial factors which protect Muslim children from theonslaught of Eurocentricism, homosexuality, racism and secular values andtraditions. They need to be well versed in Standard English to follow theNational Curriculum and go for higher studies and research to servehumanity. At the same time they need to be well versed in Arabic, Urdu andother community languages to keep in touch with their cultural roots andenjoy the beauty of their literature and poetry. Muslim schools are not onlyfaith schools but also bilingual schools.
Infact, bilingualism is an assetand not a problem as perceived by the British education system. There is apositive co-relation between language and culture. English language isassociated with western culture. The silent majority of Muslim parents would like to send their children toMuslim schools but there are not enough schools to go by. The onlyalternative left is either British Government should introduce vouchersystem for parents to choose the school of their choice or designate allthose state schools as Muslim community schools where Muslim pupils are inmajority.
There are hundreds of state schools where Muslims are in majority.Such schools may be handed over to Muslim educational Trusts or charitiesfor their management. They are in a better position to educate Muslimchildren in accordance with their needs and demands. This demand is inaccordance with the law of the land because there are state schools alreadymanaged by private companies. Muslim community is not asking for a favour.
It is their legal right.
