“British Schools, Islamic Rules” iERA Responds to the “British Schools, Islamic Rules” Panorama Programme London, 23rd November 2010 On the 22nd November 2010 the BBC aired a Panorama programme entitled “British Schools, Islamic Rules”. This programme aimed to investigate the “disturbing evidence” that some Muslim schools were providing a platform to “extremist preachers” and “fundamentalist Islamic groups”. The pro-
gramme also attempted to “expose” the extreme, anti-Semitic and homophobic material found within the curriculum of some Islamic schools. In short, the programme misrepresented established Islamic teachings on a range of issues in a manner that portrayed them as crude and insensitive whilst linking them to social unrest and violence. In a statement by Saqib Sattar, Vice-Chairman of the Islamic Education and Research Academy (iERA), he said “The attack on Muslim
3rd December 2010
The Muslim Seeker schools as an institution is both ill-informed and misguided. Muslim schools constantly achieve high academic standards with students continuously becoming highly responsible members of society, contributing positively to the public good. No „hard‟ evidence has ever been presented otherwise. Muslim Schools have excelled in this regard, due in no small part to their ethos which is rooted in the Islamic scholarly tradition which provides an objective and cohesive basis for social values and norms, something which we find lacking in our increasingly secular society. The irony is that most of our social ills stem from the failure of state schools and society at large to provide such grounding, leading ever more conscientious parents to choose private or faith schools for their children‟s secondary education. Faith schools and communities are providing that important moral voice for our society, making their presence felt through social welfare projects across the country. The contribution of faith communities should actually be championed and not maligned.” Cont. on page 53

Current Day Muslim Britain is young: 800,000 people are aged under 25, the vast majority straddling two cultures. "Art, music, film and other forms of culture are as much part of the daily lives of Muslims as are politics, religion and science," The Muslim community contributes more than ÂŁ31bn to the economy, and much else besides to our lives. Islam is Britain's second most popular religion. Over 600,000 of Britain's 1.5 million Muslims are active in their faith. Most British Muslims belong to the Sunni tradition of Islam. There are over

Gardens in Islam The underlying theme of the Islamic garden is the concept of the chahar-bagh or four-fold garden. Classically, the chahar-bagh is constructed around a central pool or fountain, with four streams flowing from it, representing the four main elements of life. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), describing his miraculous journey to heaven, mentions four rivers: flowing with wine, milk, honey and water. The number four has an inherent symbolism reflecting the natural world. The symbolism of an Islamic garden represents a universal theme – that of the understanding of nature and the universe. The quadripartite plan based on the chahar-bagh is developed in gardens all over the Islamic world. The Taj Mahal in India is placed at the head of a large chahar-bagh. The gardens of the Generalife and the Alhambra palaces in Spain both have a series of courtyard gardens based on the chahar-bagh design. In an Islamic garden the emphases are on water and shade not surprisingly as many of the early Islamic gardens were created in hot and arid areas. Gardens in Islam, unlike the great gardens in the English tradition, are not so much places for walking in, as places of rest and quiet contemplation hence the need for a place to sit is also an important consideration. The aim is to strive towards spiritual and physical refreshment, to
draw closer to God through quiet contemplation and to echo the Qur‟anic phrase „gardens underneath which rivers flow‟. The Islamic garden, based on its Qur‟anic archetype, is a place of retreat, shelter, abode, away from the tensions of everyday existence. There are many references in the Qur‟an describing paradise as a garden, and in creating gardens on earth based on heavenly descriptions, man shows his desire to attain the highest state of being, his promise from God as reward for righteous struggle. Flowing water, fountains and rivers are the most memorable descriptions one has after reading the Qur‟anic references to paradise. The vision embodied in the Islamic garden is a universal one and it should appeal to everyone from whatever background or religion. The Islamic garden is an embodiment of a „spiritual vision with universal appeal‟. Although the idea of paradise as a garden predates Islam, it was nevertheless the religion of Islam which emphasised these ancient and universal truths and gave them the new spiritual meaning.

The BBC has shown that it does not have the ability to convey the reality of the Islamic tradition. iERA condemns such irresponsible and sensationalist programmes. It is obvious that this Panorama programme has been designed to attract viewers without engaging their minds. Hamza Andreas Tzortzis, iERA‟s media representative said, “The attack on mainstream Islamic speakers because they hold established theological views is making the job of community cohesion difficult, as is the constant misconstruing or lack of context with regards to their statements. The programme-makers would have been better served to look deeply into the Islamic scholarly tradition and its historical impact, and they would have found a beautiful model of community cohesion. For example it is a well known historical fact that Islam and Muslims for centuries have been offering protection to the Jewish community. A contemporary Jewish Historian Zion Zohar for instance has written that Jews used to see Muslims as liberators from Christian persecution. There is a whole corpus of historical and theological material that strongly indicates conclusions that contrast with the content of the Panorama programme. Another example includes the Jewish Historian Amnon Cohen who writes that Jewish people, particularly women, used to go to Islamic authorities for adjudication of disputes even though they were always given the option to go to Rabbinical courts. The reality that Islam has ensured security and peace for the Jewish people is not a historical accident, it is engrained in the Islamic traditional sources. For instance the Prophet Muhammad (peace & blessing be upon Him) said that „whoever harms a nonMuslim harms me‟. Additionally the Qur‟an, the holy book of the Muslims, states in its 60th chapter „And He does not forbid you to deal kindly and justly with anyone who has not fought you for your faith or driven you out of your homes: God loves the just”. The difference between political confrontation and communal engagement has always been clear in the Islamic tradition. It is very surprising that the BBC ignored this fact, and shows once again that it has prioritised sensationalism over substance. For many Muslims, Islamic law is an important part of their lives. Islamic law covers politics, economics, criminal law, business, contracts, family life, hygiene, social issues and many more. There are similarities with Western secular law in terms of the rights it gives and the principles and values that it upholds. To reduce Islamic law to criminal punishments is a caricature of a comprehensive legal and social framework.” Sattar further adds “The decontextualised references to cutting the hand of the thief and other criminal punishments in the programme are the equivalent of claiming that British law is unjust because it has short sentences for rapists without even taking into consideration the social and jurisprudential context of the British legal system. For example, Professor of Law at Harvard University Noah Feldman has tried to educate the west on Islamic punishments. He states “Today, when we invoke the harsh punishments prescribed by Shariah [Islamic law] for a handful of offences, we rarely acknowledge the high standards of proof necessary for their implementation.” To warmly articulate the Islamic worldview and demystify the negative image this programme attempted to paint of Islam and Muslims, iERA will be distributing their new CD “Another View” and a leaflet clarifying the BBC‟s misconceptions across the UK, and also on the morning of Monday 29th December 2010 outside the BBC Headquarters with specific educational packs for the programme makers.

HMC was born essentially out of one concern and one concern only; to be able to provide assurance that we are eating genuine Halal, not just “because it says Halal… it must be Halal!" HMC is the product of a particular, prolonged situation – a situation of deceit and treachery. Muslims are being betrayed by individuals & corporations whose only concern is making fast, easy money. Using 'blessed blades', pre recorded Bismillah, captive bolts, electrified water and even pork proteins; the hard-earned Halal cash of many is being used to buy Haram. HMC has therefore, shouldered the enormous responsibility of discharging an obligatory duty on behalf of you, the community at large. Help HMC to Help You!

Newham Mayors Youth Futsal League I would like to invite your club or any young person to participate in the upcoming Newham Mayors Youth Futsal League. The Newham Mayors Youth Futsal League will be run in partnership with Newham council. The Newham Mayor Youth Futsal League will commence in February 2011, with matches taking place every week at Lister School, Plaistow E13 9AE. The league is open to anyone under 16 years of age and it is FREE to enter. The League will be affiliated with the Essex FA. There will be a free introductory Futsal sessions which will take place throughout December 2010 (starting Thursday 9th of December 7pm9pm) and January 2011 before the season commences. Sessions are open to any aged between 11-16 and involve a 1-2 hour Futsal session where players learn basic Futsal techniques and progress into games which are fun and will challenge them to become creative and get better as a player to beat their mates in the playground or on the football pitch. The sessions will be great fun and enjoyable and allow young people, new to Futsal, to learn new skills; all it matters that they want to try out Futsal and hopefully represent a team in the Newham Mayors Youth Futsal League in February. Please check out video footage recorded at the 2010-11 Newham Futsal League which highlights Futsal in Newham: http://www.newham.gov.uk/EntertainmentandLeisure/ SportsClubsAndActivities/NewhamFutsalLeaguevideo.htm If you would like to either enter a team, come to one of the introductory Futsal sessions, or would like more information then please email getactive@newham.gov.uk or contact@genesisfc.co.uk or phone 0203 373 3305.
