Thames Water Works on Ealing Road start Monday 22 June

Update from the recent story on the front page:Thames Water Works on Ealing Road start Monday 22 JuneThe Thames Water works commence in Ealing Road on Monday 22 June for approximately eight weeks. From Monday morning, Ealing Road becomes one-way northbound, with all southbound traffic being diverted via South Ealing Road, Little Ealing Lane, Windmill Road and A4.Advance warning signs are in place. Thames Water has hand-delivered letters to local residents on or near Ealing Road and the diversion route.  Additional temporary waiting restrictions are in place on the south-west side of Windmill Road.  Restricting parking to one side of the road will allow the diverted traffic to flow more freely.During the works, London Buses are temporarily diverting bus route 65 southbound via Little Ealing Road, Windmill Road, Swyncombe Avenue and Boston Manor Road to make use of the bus lane on Boston Manor Road and avoid congestion on Windmill Road.  In order to cater for this diversion, additional waiting restrictions are in place on Swyncombe Avenue and the operating hours of the bus lane on Boston Manor Road have been changed to 7am-7pm Mon-Sun.  Hounslow Council has hand-delivered letters to affected local residents. London Buses will deploy a temporary bus stop at the northeast end of Swyncombe Ave (just after the Windmill Rd junction).A minor improvement to the Swyncombe Ave/ Boston Manor Road junction to facilitate left turning buses has been implemented.Diverted southbound route 65 buses will stop at all existing bus stops on Boston Manor Road between Swyncombe Ave and the A4 and at the eastbound stops on the A4 near Windmill Rd and York Parade.  If the York Parade stop becomes problematic (due to the buses having to then move into lane three to turn right at the Ealing Road roundabout), London Buses will close this stop to route 65 buses.Thames Water has been told that if the works are not complete by the time of the London Mela on the 16 August then the site is to be made safe and Ealing Road is to be opened up to two-way traffic for the weekend of the event.

Muslim Children and Sex Education

Muslim Children and Sex EducationMuslim parents teach their children to respect their teachers. From a very young age, we are taught that Islam teaches us that after our parents, our teachers are most deserving of respect. It must be an extremely confusing time for the Muslim parent in Leytonstone, London. For up to 30 parents may face prosecution for withdrawing their children from school, disobeying the teachers in the school, simply to secure a decent moral upbringing for their children. The school had decided to have a week of lessons about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history. Part of this was a special adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet retitled Romeo and Julian as well as fairytales and stories changed to show men falling in love with men. Rather than filling the heads of impressionable boys and girls with fatuous drivel about gay penguins, schools should be ashamed of the fact that they are sending children out into the world barely able to read, write and add up properly. Muslim children are leaving schools without learning their cultural roots and linguistic skills.The action was being taken against the parents as part of a policy of ' promoting tolerance'. So why not tolerate parents, who, for sincerely-held reasons, consider their children too young to be taught about gay relationships? This isn't education, its cultural fascism. A record numbers of pupils persistently played truant in 2006-07, with around 272,950 pupils persistently absent in 2007, missing more than 20% of school. We rarely see councils prosecute the parents of these persistent truants. Yet, the parents who removed their children as a one-off to protect their morality may be prosecuted!If the local council does decide to go through with a prosecution, it would be in line with the government's approach to the Muslim community. Muslims who believe homosexuality is a sin would be labelled as extremists. Liberal totalitarianism is a growing phenomenon in Britain and the west in general but many people will be shocked that the school can override a parent's view of what's appropriate or inappropriate to teach their children. This latest episode should be a wakeup call for Muslim parents. Muslim parents MUST explain our moral standards to schools and be prepared to take steps to protect our children’s morals and values from a growing agenda to impose liberal values upon them. This is an eye opening for those Muslim parents who keep on sending their children to state schools to be mis-educated and de-educated by non-Muslim monolingual teachers.The solution of all the problems facing Muslim children is state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers. Those state schools where Muslim children are in majority may be designated as Muslim community schools. Bilingual Muslim children need state funded Muslim schools with bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods. Iftikhar Ahmadwww.londonschoolofislamics.org.uk
