Calm down, folks!

This local "trojan horse" business (see post dated 17th April) seems to be in danger of spiralling out of control.  As I see it what is being categorised as "Islamic extremism"  is for the most part no more than Muslim parents wanting their children to be brought up as Muslims.  Problem is of course that the national school curriculum is based on Christian beliefs and standards which some Muslims (including many of those who would be considered as "moderates") see as a denial of their cultural values.  Of course, I have no doubt that there are those who are seeking to use this groundswell of opinion for their own, destructive ends, but I think we need to separate the two, rather than, as at present, tarring everybody with the same brush.
