Give me an example of Muslims demanding countries change to be more like Islamic countries
Saying it’s their right to have halal slaughtered meat that hasn’t been stunned, which is not in line with our standards of welfare in the rest of the meat industry and in any other regular abattoir would be illegal.
This applies to Jews who keep kosher also, but they are not a group that is growing in number in the UK to anything like the degree that Muslims are.
It seems many Islamic free schools have fallen foul of Ofsted because of their insistence On concentrating on Arabic and Islamic study and ignoring much of the national curriculum.
Parents demanding changes to school uniform policies because they want their (sometimes very young) daughters to wear hijab and dress more ‘modestly’.
Pupils are withdrawn from certain PSHE lessons in mainstream schools (Sex Ed etc) and girls are frequently withdrawn from PE lessons in on the basis that the lessons are often mixed and seem like fun rather than education, therefore it’s haram. And they can’t/won’t wear the PE kit.
Some LEAs now use all halal foods in ALL school dinners because the Muslim pupils want halal. So rather than inconvenience Muslim pupils by not providing halal, or risk there being a cross contamination issue with both halal and non halal foods being prepared or served in the same area, it’s assumed that non-Muslims will be happy to eat the halal, or at least they’ll be in blissful ignorance of it.
This also applies to many fast food chains now. 1 in four Nando’s are halal. Subway has almost 200 halal outlets. It comes to something when chain restaurants feel they have to do meet that demand or risk losing out on business because the numbers of Muslims in British society has grown so much in recent years, and given the very high average birth rates will continue to do so exponentially over the next few generations.
Muslim women being allowed to wear hijab in British passport photos where no other form of headwear is allowed unless you can prove it’s a religious requirement.
Applies to Sikhs with turbans too. But if I as a non-Muslim woman wanted to wear any form of headwear other than something that looked obviously like a hijab I’d have the photo refused.
Many local authorities now run women only sessions at places like gyms and public pools, mainly to meet the demand from Muslim women. I don’t recall this being a very common or standard thing to do until around 5 or 10 years ago.
There are a few examples off the top of my head.
