Headteacher Katharine Birbalsingh Says School's Prayer Ban “Has Nothing To Do With Disliking Islam”
Вставка

- The headteacher of a school which is facing a legal challenge over its decision to ban prayer rituals has said “it has nothing to do with disliking Islam”.
Michaela Community School in Brent, north London, argues allowing such practices risks “undermining inclusion and social cohesion between pupils”, with its ban coming after a “vitriolic campaign of abuse, harassment and threats” against staff.
The high-achieving free school, previously dubbed Britain’s strictest, is facing a High Court legal challenge from a Muslim student who claims its approach to prayer on the premises is discriminatory and “uniquely” affects her faith due to its ritualised nature.
In her first broadcast interview since the legal challenge, headteacher Katharine Birbalsingh speaks to TalkTV’s Julia Hartley-Brewer to discuss the controversy.

It’s another example of Islam refusing to compromise on secular, western ideals. I hope she stands firm and wins the case.
It's another reason why Islam should not be welcomed in the west.
Agree not much chance of winning though when racist card is played
But is the school’s choir not allowed to sing Christmas carols?
@@rustshoo5068 Listen towhat she says, you bigot.
This just shows that multiculturalism doesn’t work and this school is a smaller example of how the current United Kingdom is as a whole.
Its not peer pressure its Islamic intimidation...whats new

You nailed it, the media are talking around it
i agree
Exactly...religion of peace my a$$.

That is easy to achieve. My dog has higher standards of integrity than our politicians. They are spineless cowards who bow down to minorities, instead of just saying no.
When you have good reason it's easy to justify, this brave teacher exhibits this perfectly. Islamic extremists belong in Islamic countries, not here. They are working very very hard to undermine and control our culture.
How?
Your politicians screws Middle East and Muslim majority countries that is why they take Muslim Refugee. But this headmaster is different story.
She simply does not care about votes. Stupid fanatic about Muslim religion after all. Those fanatic Muslim followers make the religion looks bad. The same for Jehova witness religion
The new Muslim headteacher will be even stronger

Beware the enemy within this country. Stick to your rules Katharine and don't give ground you are right.
There's only one way out of this. And it involves mass deportations the other way.

@Rambobambo007 certainly true.
Apparently radical left activists broke into the school when it was being set up and tried to sabotage equipment to prevent it being opened that is how seriously deranged the radical left are.
Just tell the Muslims to attend muslim schools.
... in a muslim country.
Soon it will become a Muslim school, as just as 30% became 50% in a few small years, 50% will soon be 70%, and before you know it 100%. Demographics are changing unchecked at an alarming rate, and schools are one of the most obvious and hard to miss reflections of that.

Fabulous headteacher. I hope common sense prevails in the courts.
Absolutely…the country could do well to adopt her policies in all schools and other institutions.
It's at the High Court so probably not.
Can go to the supreme Court if lose it this eff?
Hopefully she wins and the girls family get the costs charged @@user-fg5zx4gz1z
Today's playground bully is a different beast to those of yesteryear
Based on what she's said, she's got a fair argument under that she defines the school as secular and honestly it's about time a lawyer pushes the line "if we can have religious schools tailored to one religion, then equally we should be able to have secular schools which don't have to enable the practice of religion"
At the end of the day it's not all about religious groups, the UK has a growing non religious community who are tired of their children's learning being impacted through the actions of extremist followers within religious groups. As an adult, you don't get to stomp your feet and pout to get what you want, as the headmistress points out - they know what they signed up for, if they don't like it then maybe it's not the school for them.
This is not the child. It is the parents of this child ordering her to do this. I will bet the shirt off my back. In fact i will go further and say it is the father. !!!
We were lost as a country if she had lost this case......WELl DONE..
We need to start our own petition to support this school. This can’t be happening in UK 🤬
Why was this girl given Legal Aid.
If they want to take it to court, her parents should foot the bill.
Coz they'll have an (immigration) lawyer "cousin" who knows the system
Probably neil
Seems with Legal Aid.....
Because her family is either unemployed or on low income, otherwise legal aid is not an option.
Right.
30% all fine, get to 50% and probably the majority and suddenly you have to bow down - welcome to Europe's future

@@maikilreategui1271And it was the PLO under Arafat that instigated that war in a majority Christian country. Sadly the Christians left for the UK and USA and never went back to claim what was theirs. That's why the Palestinians can never be trusted.
You said what i was going to say
Should have kept them at 10%
In India, a year ago similar demand to allow burkha by Muslim female students within school premise was made into Religious Discrimination Issue by BBC and so many other western channels. Now that similar scenarios are being played out in Western Countries, the stance of media has changed. My presonal view, Katharine herself is probably a third generation of Sikh/Hindu origin migrant, she has adopted to British values and practices her ancestors beliefs outside the school premise. Then the specific group of parents should also be inspired to leave their religious practices outside the school gates.
Ms Birbalsingh is of Caribbean origin from both parents. Her father is from Guyana and in Guyana we are Hindus, Muslims, Christians etc and there is no religious animosity. And in the school system, it's the same way. Ms Birbalsingh 's school is like the normal Caribbean school where there are Hindu, Muslim and Christian who are not very conscious of religious difference. Old Birbalsingh was married to a Muslim and he was the father of Katherine's father; but then inter-faith marriages among Indians is usual since they think of themselves as a racial group and not a religious group. The kind of school KB is running resembles the usual Caribbean school.
You’re a fine one to talk. 50 hindutva extremists taking over the Uk to every 1 muslim person. You have full control of the media and are doing your best to create divide and hatred for peaceful Muslim citizens. Everyone is aware of your agenda. Hate speech get out of here.
My goodness, this head teacher has described a worst possible nightmare attempting to satisfy all the diversity between faiths and for her to achieve the highest accolade being the top school in the last two years is nothing short of a miracle. Please, please, can we have more head teachers like Katherine Birbalsingh. What a wonderful woman!
We need more Headteachers like Katharine. Well done !!
Sadly she will most likely get sacked, and pretty soon a 50% Muslim school will become 100%. If she was white she would have been sacked already for her "strict" views.
We don't. It's apparently a 'successful' school. Yet just listen to what she says about her school and the problems it has.
She's clearly lying. She's not at all convincing. Immigration is and has destroyed London and the country.
What we need is people to stop making demands like they are the chosen ones and starting to compromise fitting in with its host nation
Threats from Islamic extremists need to be treated as abuse and dealt with by the police.
@gezparks963-0 Are you kidding ? police could not do any thing to pro Palestinians terrorists in London marches, what you expect now?

Funny how the media keep quiet about THAT! Shame on them!
What a beautiful example of standing up for school choice. She is exactly what you would want in a teacher who is teaching your children. its all about school, reading, writing, science, math, history. Its about learning how to get along with others who are different from you in views, culture, religion and language. This teacher needs to be applauded for her work, not taken to court over a religious issue that has no standing in a secular school...
you contradicted yourself
You've just contradicted yourself. Getting along with religion means having a quiet/prayer area. Banning them means banning religious people and not getting along with them.
Trying to force any ridiculous dark ages religious rubish on to others should be made illegal. END OF.
Yeah tell that to the christies on the streets with their wolly hats to stop pestering others to convert to their fake religion
Who did that at Michaela School?
yup, religion should be illegal in public, treat it like sex, done in your own home, public display is indecent and an arrestable offence
Disagree. Those advocating allowing Islam to be practiced in this school are not wrong because of their religious convictions, they are wrong because this school is a secular school with excellent academic credentials that parents have presumably until now been quite happy to accept the ethos of because their kids are getting a damn good education. What we have here is just one more example of a clash of cultures which is now going to be settled in our courts. If this goes against the school I think its teachers should just all resign including the head and take their values elsewhere. They certainly shouldn’t just accept it and be forced to abandon their values. I think if they did this the political heat would switch to those causing all the damn fuss.
@@Mediumal Bravo, couldn't agree more
I support Katharine Birbalsingh totally.
NO other religion is celebrated in the school why should it be any different for Islam?
I'd have ask the student why is it so adamant that is was to start praying now when it has not in previous years?
Only takes one 🤷🏻♂️
It's different for islam cause there is no compromise or objection.
You OBEY that's the deal.
Not celebrated, it's called praying don't be confused. Also why is it hard to fathom Muslims praying separately. We also never had a case of men turning into women but we have become tolerant towards that. Rituals?? Do you see them lighting candles or sacrificing children in your classrooms. I mean come on be real. They first of all go and clean them selves with water. And if you watch them pray all they do is bow down to God pray for 5mins and that's it. Clearly I'm sure people have watched muslims pray and when has praying been disrespectful
@@kingc4082When you demand it as a privilege in a school where it is not permitted. When it is done as a political show of force outside Downing Street. Also who is tolerant of men turning into women? Who is tolerant of that fallacy? Your strawman is feeble at best.
Lead us not into temptation
In India about 2 years ago, a school made a rule that hijab was not allowed in the campus when more and more girls started wearing the hijab and created a ruckus around prayers. The British and western media made the case that the Indian government was anti muslim and cited this as a case in point.
Absolutely spot on..
Just the same thing went into my thoughts..
there's millions of muslims in India.
it's not as if it's a Christian country.
so it's expected to find students with hijabs.
did they ban Sikhs from wearing their turbans too?

Had a feeling there was more to the story than what was said on an Islam podcast. All the reasons she mentioned are legitimate. We don't have a right to force our way of life onto others and we don't need a room to practice our religion. Shame on those who try to intimidate and threaten you and go against the teaching of respecting the rules of the place you live.
We don't need a room but we still need to pray at certain times of the day and it's compulsory. It wouldn't be a problem for the teachers because the children can pray outside and it normally coinsides with lunch time
@@SomaliPatriote This is a secular school meaning it is independent of religion and doesn't really want to be associated with any religion. This should be respected.

The death treats need to be investigated by the police and prosecutions brought. This is terrible.
It’s ridiculous that this can even be brought as a case. Waste of taxpayers money. This is not a Muslim country. And never ever will be. Our values and principles have come from our Christian heritage. This needs to be put to bed once and for all.
I hope she wins. Its not right the harassment she face. Also a school she built. Muslims have no right to dictate their rules on others.
The Islamification of the whole country is extremely worrying. Why is the taxpayer paying for legal aid for the Muslim girl, that's what I want to know?
Coz the Muslims vote enmasse. And greedy politicans love assured votes.
Why are UK taxpayers money going to fund wars and genocide?
No one is forcing them to Islam. They are doing this of their own accord. Perhaps they have used fine reasoning and judgement to understand that it is God’s true religion and wish to become one of the righteous. Educate yourself first.
No one will force you to be Muslim if you don’t want to. If you want to know a religion that truly doesn’t tolerate you (assuming you are Christian) look to Judaism. But you perhaps support the Israel state while they laugh and mock you.
@@islamuk3716 Have you ever heard of Sheikh Asim? He said Muslims will be asking people to accept Islam in about 50 years time, and if they refuse, their heads will be separated from their bodies. I can provide the youtube link if you want it.
I haven't seen any evidence of Islamification in the UK. If you are referring to women wearing headscarves, that's a personal choice and that is not 'Islamification'. Not sure if such a word exists.
Hats off to the headteacher what a shining example of how things can work, shame it isn’t echoed across the country and the weak pathetic leadership of our country
This is sad but is expected to happen in the UK. Currently a minority group is demanding total adherence to their religion. Non tolerance will always prevail. Wherever they are in minority they will demand their way due to their belief system: Dar al-Harb means 'house of war' and refers to the dominion of war around the world. Generally, it refers to any place that Islam cannot be practiced without persecution. It also refers to a country that is not under Islamic rule and is thus not amenable to the majority of its inhabitants practicing Islam.
It's not peer pressure ..... it's bullying thuggery plain and simple

NO CHILD NEEDS A PRAYING ROOM AT SCHOOL !!
When one's "high demand" religion demands he pray five times a day, there is a problem impinging upon the school and the teachers' classrooms. Muslims should think about this before moving to the West, and before enrolling their children in secular schools.
But they need to celebrate pride month in school right? Idiot
Legal aid should not be given in this case.
How come I can't have legal aid, and I'm in my mid- 60s? Why?
@@davidripley2916 Because you're not Muslim
Legal aid is given on a case by case basis. Who are you to decide?
The school should get parents to sign an undertaking that they will not EVER make any such demands and will ALWAYS abide by the rules of the school . Later if they create problems the school could sue them.
There should be NO religion in education , and no faith schools. Religion should stay in church, synagogue, gurdwara, mosque, temple or chapel where it belongs.Nowhere else.
And teaching them that boys and girls Can change their gender every 2 hours is ok right?
It's a school, not a mosque. England is not an Islam state. They can pray at home.
Not an Islamic state, but anti-Christian and the Atheists are having less children (no thanks to the economy, wokeness and sexuality propaganda). Guess what, the Islamists are having more babies and using government aid to double their population. Do the math...50 years time!
As said in this video, there is no ban on prayer at this school, they just don't provide payer rooms. The media are making this worse by reporting it as a ban on prayer which it clearly isn't and the parents were well aware that prayer rooms are not available. This should be a none issue but it's Islam so every minor transgression is framed as hatred and oppression.
Actually Islam believes that anywhere can be a mosque (apart from a few exceptions) and those who humble themselves for prayer are held in high regard.
Besides what else is more useful during your break. Chatting nonsense or growing closer to God?

Its a national outrage what has happened to this school & its teachers & to be honest the way things are going I would not want my children going to any school where their are Muslim students, if this is what can possibly happen via just one Muslim student & her parents. So pleased you won the case, Im sure there would have been a national outcry if the courts had agreed to installing a mini mosque (Muslim prayer room is just another way of describing what a mosque/masjid is) in every school.
Please we’ve found a leader 🙏don’t let her out of your sight she needs all the support we can give her 🙏👊
Keep religion out of the classroom
Better yet, keep Islam out of Europe.
Why the subject I enjoyed most was RE as I learnt so much about all faiths
@@asif530 When I was in school, religious education was put in the free time block. Teachers knew how to punish us for our stupidity lol.
Despite it being the most important topic in this life? But you’re the clown 🤡 that thinks we evolved from apes 🦍.
@@TryingtoTellYou ha ha the good old days. Talking about punishment , when I was in school no one lifted an eye lid when we were physically punished:-)
I wonder if the police are investigating the death threats, intimidation and attempted home invasion...
I very much doubt it.
Islam has them in there pockets and government, check out the story of an autistic boy scuffing a Quran book .
It’s quite sickening to hear this open reality that multi culture has forced upon our society and our education systum. I can understand why reform came into being over the last few years. This pressure must be stopped and very soon. This is a Christian society that allows freedom to pray in private and nothing more. If these families want more then go where it is practised. We don’t want it in uk. I want to see this set within the law and enforced by the law so that confusion is removed. At the this rate we could end with civil unrest and that is already showing its ugly face . Shakespeare countryUK
Barbarian mentality here. The UK has itself to blame for this problem.
Fundementalis being offended by British education !
Deep respect for K B and thanks for this update
Muslim here and I agree with this headteacher. Growing up in the 80s islam was just in the background. In the early 90s an influx of saudi wahbisim influxed mosques,( I blame successive governments who allowed this) i find Muslims in my community have become more religious, the aunties who only wore sari or beautiful salwar kameez are now covered up in the black burka with hijab. . My son felt pressured to perform the Friday prayers at school because other muslim boys were praying... all the muslim boys felt that they had to perform the prayers otherwise be labeled as not being a muslim.
Why the death threats over this issue? Why the narcissist behaviour? Why is the black teacher receiving racist remarks? Why can't we ALL live in peace? 🤔. Thank you Julia for letting Katherine tell the whole story. I really admire Katherine and I wish that I had a head teacher like her when I went to school 🫶❤️
They demand on pain of death. Think Batley teacher still in hiding; French teacher beheaded; mother & son humiliated by a hall full of Muslim men and police because the boy had scuffed a book (also received threats of violence); Charlie Hebdo massacre. Sickening.
Why can't we all live in peace? Islam everytime
Oh yeah death threats, what a load of rubbish. By death threats they probably mean anonymous accounts on twitter from foreign countries.
We can live in peace...... As long as that peace is Islamic 🤷🏻♂️
We can’t live in peace coz ironically the “religion of peace” won’t give anybody any peace, only problems
Great Headteacher.
You like a teacher who act like a dictator?
@@run2cat4runshe tells those rAtS they can’t pray so she’s fine by me👍
@@run2cat4run no he likes a good teacher who wont be bullied by islamic nasty people
its called treating everyone the same, islam is not apart of the uk@@run2cat4run
@@run2cat4runThe islamists are the dictators
Churches and mosques are for prayer on weekends. Anyone can pray anywhere to themselves at any time. Disrupting lunchtime or breaks, where students need their fun time, to dangerously have children lying on floors is not appropriate!!
Please keep this woman on board to help with our futures 🙏
Katherine we are all behind you 💗
Not behind her, with her. She needs courage and support from upfront from you all..
How terrible. How many arrests have the Police made?
They don't arrest those they protect.
None as usual
in that case we will become an islamic state, it's just a matter off time@@shaunbat5097
Truth can't be stopped.
