UK: Muslim mother takes legal action against school over face veil ban

21

Steadily and inexorably, Britain is giving over its nation and culture to Islamic invaders. The idea that Britons should defend their cultural identity is denounced as islamofauxbic.

“Muslim mother takes legal action against school over face veil ban,” by Diane Taylor, Guardian, July 20, 2017:

A Muslim mother has launched legal action against her daughter’s school, after being told she could not wear a face veil on its premises.

Rachida Serroukh, 37, a single mother of three daughters, has begun a discrimination test case against the prestigious Holland Park school, dubbed the “socialist Eton”, in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea after she was told she would not be allowed to wear a face veil at the school.

Serroukh, a devout Muslim who has worn a face veil for the past 14 years, was delighted when her 11-year-old daughter was offered a place at the school. Not only was it across the road from where they lived, Serroukh – who was born in Ladbroke Grove – had studied there, achieving good grades….

“Education is very important to me and I want to ensure that all my children get a good education,” she said. “My daughter, who will be starting at Holland Park after the school holidays, did really well in her year 6 Sats and was the top girl in her class.”

But when she attended an evening for parents of new pupils at the school on 13 June, she was shocked to be challenged over her decision to wear a face veil.

After a talk by the head teacher, Serroukh – a qualified childcare assistant who plans to return to work when her daughter is settled in school – was approached by a member of staff who asked to speak to her. She was taken into a room and told it was the school’s policy not to allow face veils on school premises.

“I was already feeling uncomfortable because I had to leave my daughter standing on her own,” said Serroukh. “As the teacher was female, I lifted my veil when we were talking together in the room.” She had already been surprised, she added, that at the welcome event for about 200 parents – including five or six who were identifiably Muslim – the head teacher said in his speech that the school was secular and did not offer prayer rooms “although it showed video footage of the school choir singing in a church”.

At first Serroukh thought that the teacher who raised the veil issue had misunderstood and thought her daughter would be attending school in a face veil. “I explained clearly that my daughter wears a headscarf and would not be coming to school in a face veil. Then I realised she was talking about me not my daughter.”

Serroukh asked several times to see the school policy banning visitors from wearing a face veil, as she was aware that a friend who also wore a similar veil had been attending school events for five years without encountering any problems.

“I had had no problem from security at the school gate when I entered the school and nobody there had mentioned a policy. I always lift my veil and show my photo ID when required to do so for security purposes,” she said. “I didn’t want to challenge the teacher until I had seen the policy.”

Serroukh said the teacher then asked her to leave the school through the back exit, but she refused, explaining she needed to collect her daughter and would be leaving through the same door she had arrived – the school’s front entrance.

“I was very shaken and was in a state of shock about what had happened,” she said. “I had never experienced anything like this before. I have experienced name calling in the street from strangers about my veil but nothing like this had ever happened before. When I got home, I just broke down.”…

The school has not yet responded to repeated requests to comment; Kensington and Chelsea referred enquiries to the school. But in Wilson’s 13 July email, he referred to Serroukh’s account of the meeting with the teacher during the parents’ welcome evening, saying “we believe [it] to be factually inaccurate”.

That guy’s got some spine for calling out his fellow Muslims like that. The sad thing is, if he were to say things like that in just about any western country these days, it wouldn’t just be his fellow Muslims he’d have to worry about, the leftist apologists would also be doing everything in their power to silence him.

I wonder how that woman will square western teaching with her Islamic education when one is based on science and observance and the other on mindless submission to a theocratic diktat.

You’re right! I’ve said for years, the strong ones, the risk-takers, the Pioneers came to America, where their descendents now live. It’s not perfect here, but we aren’t ruled by mooslims (not since we got rid of Obummer, Clintons, Pedosta, etc.), muhammed (may she rot in Hell with pigs & raisins!) or sharia arseholes!!

This has been around for a while, it is a very good description.

Long ago, humans were groups of nomadic hunter-gatherers. According to this story, two events were the catalyst for the modern world. The inventions of the Wheel … and Beer.

This. Changed. Everything.

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:

1. Liberals; and

2. Conservatives.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That’s how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement.

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q’s and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.

Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.

Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.

Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.

Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn’t fair to make the pitcher also bat.

Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, Marines, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.

Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

Here ends today’s lesson in world history: It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it. A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to piss them off.

I smiled, chuckled out LOUD even; & of course, I will be forwarding this, hoping I do piss off a few libturds!! You ALWAYS post the best things; your insight is great, you are concise & always factual. THANK YOU!!

One thing: I have ALWAYS eaten my meat WELL-DONE; in restaurants I tell them, “Burn it if you have to, but get it DONE!” I learned a year ago most people of Native American descent (I’m 5/8 NA: Blackfeet, Osage & a drop of Cherokee) prefer their meats well-done; even those raised by White families who eat rare or medium still prefer theirs well-done… go figure!

Why did our ancestors invent fire, if not to cook with? Lots of Cree around here, they do know how to cook a moose.

One thing she needn’t bother to try is taking her case to the European Court of Human Rights: Muslim women have taken both France and Belgium to the Court over their bans of the veil, and both cases were thrown out and the Court found in favour of the French and Belgian governments. One of the reasons the Court gave for upholding the ban in both cases that it was A BARRIER TO INTEGRATION.

But then again, it may have a different outcome in politically correct, multiculturalism- and diversity-obsessed Britain: when the French woman (of Pakistani origin) brought the case against France, no French lawyer would touch it. But who took the case and championed her cause? BRITISH lawyers.

I´m really surprised why she had to take legal action at all in a country that has been allowing Sharia courts since many years already. Is that a sign that the blind Brits are maybe starting to wake up? I doubt so! And even if they did, it would be too late already! They would need the killing efficiency of Nazi Germany in order to solve the problem, which they are certainly not able to establish. Those photos of a scarf wearing Sharia May depict very clearly to which direction the island of the United Caliphate is going to.

The problem is that it is a MUSLIM that is bringing the test case. As such, the British nation is losing its identity as a free country and allowing Sharia to rule them all.

No, not many countries – just Australia (2), Brazil (1), China (1-undergoing trials), Egypt (2), France (4), India (1), Italy (2), Japan (4), Russia (1), South Korea (1), Spain (1), Thailand (1), United Kingdom (1) and the United States (20). Turkey has one under construction.

She’s a “qualified childcare assistant” (skipped classes on science, technology, biology, history….got an A+ in Islamic Patriarchal Studies).

Imagine little Johnnie is happily playing with his building blocks and this black swirling inhuman cloud taps him on the shoulder….”Waaaaaaaaaaaaah”.
