Bishop: I Wouldn't Send My Children to Muslim School

Kudos to two senior clerics in England (Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, and the Rt. Rev. Tom Butler, Bishop of Southwark) for saying that Christian children should not be educated in Islamic schools.

The Telegraph reported on the development:

[Murphy-O'Connor] said that he would not want large numbers of Catholic children attending Muslim schools because he would not want them to be brought up 'in that atmosphere.'

"The Cardinal added that, while he welcomed dialogue between the faiths, 'fundamentally the creed of Islam is totally diverse from the creed of Christianity.'

"His remarks were echoed by the Rt Rev Tom Butler, the Church of England Bishop of Southwark, who said he would not have sent his children to a Muslim school.

"'Although religion is taken seriously in a Muslim school, I think the particular insight of Islam is... is not mine,' he said. Both clerics were speaking on the BBC2 programme God and the Politicians, due to be broadcast tomorrow night."
