Why This Is Important

This application is being made by the Tauheedul Islam group, who are already offering it's community members Secondary and Sixth Form Education therefore the planned Primary School will mean that Students will not integrate with the wider community at all.

Community Cohesion is already a huge problem in the borough, where segregation is a massive problem. This school would definately worsen the existing problems.

The town has had massive investment in schools through the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme, allowing this school application would undermine this process

WOAH WOAH woah! I was about to sign this then saw you are AGAINST the school being created? Are the "Sunnis" so fuelled by sectarianism? If it was a "Sunni" school (by your standards) I presume "community cohesion" would not have been a problem?! This is absolutely ridiculous and outrageous.

Anyone thinking of signing the petition, I demand that you read this verse:

2:114 And who is more unjust than those who forbid that Allahs Name be glorified and mentioned much (i.e. prayers and invocations, etc.) in Allahs Mosques and strive for their ruin? It was not fitting that such should themselves enter them (Allahs Mosques) except in fear. For them there is disgrace in this world, and they will have a great torment in the Hereafter.

I am willing to place my penny-worth signature on this petition only if you can answer some questions to a satisfactory standard. First of all, how exactly is this school being created? By created, I mean funded; who's funding the project? Secondly, is there anyother reason why we should resist this project other then the obvious pretext being used to score sectarian brownie points,that's community cohesion?

Lastly, how will this actually help the sunni population of blackburn?

regards and wasalaam

Would you submit this petition if this was a Barelvi School (by assuming that students will not integrate with the wider community)?

Answer the point raised by Desert Shaykh

[Fatema-the-resplendent]

Can someone please inform me the need for an Islamic Primary School? I thought at such young ages the only thing that required is recognition there is a God, recognising love and affection for our Messenger. Do we need a School to teach young Children this or is the School going to be corrupting young minds or over exerting the idea of islamic practice which may not apply to Children of that age.

And other generic values to be learned at that age have nothing to do with Religion and can be taught in a normal school-although teaching morality at School is something that is disagreeable because the bed of morality should be made at Home.

I've seen Minhaj-ul-Quran and Laskar-e-Teyiba's Islamic (model) Primary/High Schools in Pakistan, therefore I am totally against the Religious Primary or High Schools.

Everyone should have the chance to get proper education, free from sectarian influences until the age of 18. And after GCSE/Matriculation, students should have the freedom to choose Where they want to study (Islamic college or Standard college) but Children shouldn't be forced into religious primary schools unless they provide a high quality education, free from sectarian influences whish is Impossible.

I think Islamic schools can be positive, certainly. The only reason I might hesitate in sending people to Muslim schools is because of low academic standards (though this is not always the case). Given the choice between a mixed high school of average education, and an Islamic high school of average education, I would probably choose the Islamic one if I thought my child was influenced too much already by Western culture. If I thought they were strong enough to stand the onslaught they face in mixed schools, then fine! (I turned out alright! Sadly, not all of my friends did.)

[Mudassar-Rana]

tauheed ul islam actually is one of the best performing schools in the country - so good in fact that it was given government funded status. Further it has also been brought into the mainstream by linking it with blackburn college/university.

Promoting sectarianism in the education sector is majorly down to our own lack of acheivement in any field and is professional jealousy.Our inability to organise anything more than annual naat conferences for the benefit of naat khawaans and those expert at stealing bollywood tunes is a big failure of our own small village mentality.

If there is anything to learn from tauheeds success is that focus, dedication and professionalism shows the positive effect both nationally and locally that islam can have.

Below are the results acheived last year - clearly anyone who opposes the efforts of the school is blinded by hate.

If there is one criticism it is the lack of places and the bias towards certain communities - other than that it is a school that ought to be lauded and aided infact if i thought we could copy their success I would say go for it!
