DH wants daughter to go to a private school.

I'm sorry friends, but I can't risk this being found by my DH so I set up a temp account, I hope you understand in the mercy of Allah(PBUH)

For some info, my DS is privately educated at a fine school and I am very happy with him there. But DH wants also for my daughter to attend this school. I think this will not serve her best interest in life, as they do not teach things that will be important to her like home activities, taking care of a family etc. I know its politically correct these days but I don't see why Math and business skills will do her well. We came to this country and with a special community grant can afford sons school while DH looks for a job (I stay at home with DS2 (7 months) and cannot work due to pregnancy), and sending two children to a top school would also give us less disposable income to spend.

Sorry again for the secretive account but it is paramount to cover my tracks. Thankyou to those in the last week who helped with my other problem (You know who especially)

Oh, and it's Mohammed PBUH. If it's Allah it's Allah SWT (translates as "Pure and Exalted").

If you're going to troll posing as a durty brown benefits-gobbling furrinerr as least get the basics right love.

Thanks for confirming that, Catkinsthecatinthehat.

gorionine · 05/01/2011 10:25

Catkinsthecatinthehat, well spoted ! I am a Muslim and am now very Blush I did not!

wishingforcrystalball · 05/01/2011 10:25

They teach maths in state schools?!?!?

Well, I never, that coalition government has done wonders for the education in this country.

gorionine · 05/01/2011 10:28

OP must not know that otherwise she would not think that her DD would learn sewing and cooking in state schools unless the plan is not to send her to school at all?

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 05/01/2011 10:32

My DH is muslim I am glad his neices in North Africa are in Uni learning languages homeskills, that another relative is a hospital consultant bread baker and for the lady who worked in the oil industry as a geophysicist shoe cleaner all had stereotypical parents.

Go back to your Daily Fail and have a (halal) Biscuit

Well there we are then. If there ever was any doubt, there certainly isn't now. The Allah/Mohammed mix up was the Villain's fatal mistake. gotcha, bang to rights.

Oh well - it was fun while it lasted.

After reading the OP I thought the thread couldn't get any dafter. Then I realised some people are actually giving it serious replies......

As a non Muslim with several dear friends who are Muslims, I regularly defend your faith from detractors who state that it is anti women. I cite the role of the wives of the Prophet, PBUH, the way that Islam enshrined rights for women in the 7th century and the Holy Quran's teachings on women, especially the Forth surah. I tell people that they have misunderstood Islam and that the things they are talking about are cultural, not Islamic.

Please have a read of your Quran!

K12Mom · 05/01/2011 11:21

Erm DrSeuss, I don't think she's, like, a real Muslim?

I have reported this thread, as IMO it is dangerous to be spreading such nonsense. I am, of course, assuming that it it written by someone who thinks they are funny.

(You aren't, by the way).

How bizarre! Every post that mentions the word 'troll' has been deleted, but every one that insinuates it remains.....

Lol.

MangoTango · 05/01/2011 22:27

ROFL. First thing tomorrow I'll pop out and pick up up my community grant and then I can submit the Eton College application form. Never realised it would be this easy!
