Faith schools and a free society, letter to the editor, Independent Faith schools and a free society Yasmin Alibhai-Brown (30 June) is right that religion should not be allowed to make ghettos. Cristina Odone’s report on faith schools, published by the Centre for Policy Studies, misses the point. The point of is not that faith schools have discriminatory admission codes and employment practices, cream-skim pupils, or turn away children in care, although they do. Rather, what makes faith schools fundamentally bad for children is that they are more concerned with the inclusion of religion – the religion of the child’s parents – than the inclusion, wellbeing and educational needs of the...

Maryam Namazie is the voice of the voiceless, Boras Tidning “Hon ger en röst åt röstlösa kvinnor” Borås 2008-04-15 | Uppdaterad 2008-04-15 – Alla religioner är besatta av att kontrollera kvinnor, sex och sexualitet – Orsaken till att jag tycker att isalm är värre än andra är att det i många länder sker övergrepp i islams namn och med statens tillåtelse.

It’s time to take a stand against Islam and Sharia, Times Maryam Namazie, head of the Council of Ex-Muslims in Britain, says that rights are for individuals, not religions or beliefs Juliet Rix March 12 2008, 12:00am Picture this, says Maryam Namazie: “A child is swathed in cloth from head to toe every day. Everything but her face and hands are covered for fear that a man might find her attractive. At school she learns that she is worth less than a boy.

Maryam Namazie’s blog on the New Statesman Faith Column, February 4-7 Losing my religion When religion means death Children and emotional abuse The necessity of criticism Losing my religion, 04 February 2008 I find it slightly odd writing for a faith blog, when I don’t have any. It’s like writing for an Automobile Association blog when I take the bus. But I do understand why it is so. In this day and age everything is framed within the context of ‘faith’, especially for those of us deemed to be Muslims – no matter how clearly and loudly we profess and live otherwise. I think this is in large part due to... Filed as: Media Coverage |
