I've spoken to Muslim students forced to pray in corridors, in cupboards, on school fields in the rain. I've spoken to Muslims forced to leave their jobs because they weren't allowed to pray. The Michaela School incident is just one tiny glimpse of societal-wide Islamophobia.

The impact of such strategies that deliberately prevent Muslims from practicing basic tenets of their religion is huge. It leaves young Muslims facing disadvantage and isolation at schools and colleges. It places barriers to Muslims accessing employment and closes off sectors.
It places Muslims as second-class citizens in their own countries. And it fuels anti-Muslim discourses in media and politics that frame Islam as something dangerous, foreign, anti-British; ultimately, poisoning the whole of society.
@mcneilwillson stop the lies no one feels sorry for you. Go back to your own country and leave the UK alone
@mcneilwillson you did not follow that the school is doing very well for multiple reasons. take that foundation away and the kids will all have a disadvantage again, for the sake of some prayer appeaser. you are extremely conservative in your thinking.
@mcneilwillson 2. From what you say clear that Muslims needs are incompatible with British norms. Best if they live in Muslim countries not try to change Britain to suit their needs. Note: not "racist" (don't think Muslims inferior)/ don't have an irrational fear. I think they are incompatible.
@mcneilwillson Does this rule only prevent Muslims racticing their religion? Do all other religions have different rules at the school do they?
@mcneilwillson Muslims can go back to an islamic country if they want to practice their religion, don't need it shoved in our faces. Practice it at home like everyone else or go to the mosques!
