Islamic Cleric Urges Catholic School to Convert

(GLASGOW) An Islamic group has called for a Catholic primary school in Scotland to be based on the Muslim faith.

The Campaign for Muslim Schools said 90 per cent of pupils at St Albert's Primary, in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow, are Muslim, yet children are having to take part in Catholic rituals like saying the Lord's Prayer and attending mass.

Osama Saeed, co-ordinator of the alliance of Glasgow's main mosques and Muslim organisations, said he could see no reason why the main faith of the school should not change.

He said: 'Clearly the parents of that area find a faith school, even if it is of another denomination, preferable to a secular one. But surely it should be possible for them to have one that is relevant to their own faith.

'To move towards this would be a fantastic example of good faith - in more ways than one - on the part of the Church.'

The call came just days after Scotland's most senior Catholic, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, sparked controversy by stating that Scotland's core faith was Christianity and that other faiths should recognise they were 'living in Scotland as a Christian country'. A spokesman for the Catholic Church in Scotland was not available for comment tonight."

Wake up Europe, this is just the tip of the iceberg. With more and more muslim communities becoming "countries within a country" you can expect to see this trend continue. Is Europe witnessing a quiet invasion promoted and encouraged by the more fundamentalist religious islamic clerics? Case in point, the riots in Paris a few months ago. Since so many European countries have turned to a culture of secularism, only the governments are left to challange the radical thought. Watch for additional pan European backlashes from 1930's like nationalistic groups which will are sure to emerge in response to the accelerated muslim emmigration in tradtionally Christian EU countries and communites.
