SCOTLAND: THE ZEAL OF ATHEISTS AND MUSLIMS TO KILL CATHOLIC SCHOOLS

Killing Religion & Loss of Religious
Freedom
Behind so much of this animosity is the radical homosexual agenda. Where this agenda is present there is a powerful spirit that is truly anti Jesus Christ. With any degree of proximity to it one can sense the degree of loathing and hatred that led to Christ's death on the cross.
Although these people lack the wisdom of God they do not lack satanic craftiness. This militant atheism has infiltrated the state run public schools. They seek to gain access to the blank slate of children's minds. It is now becoming a standard part of sex education to show children images of homosexual sex. In destroying the innocence of children in the name of tolerance, they are creating a generation that will experiment with homosexuality like past generations experimented with smoking.
Children that attend denominational schools and who are lost to their indoctrination efforts are now being battled over. Access to these children will be sought by breaking down the religious freedom of denominational schools. The battle has begun in Scotland. Catholic schools in Scotland are considered to be "public schools"--but are designated as "denominational schools". Nevertheless, under the 1980 Education Act, representatives of the Catholic Church can block teachers from employment or promotion in denominational schools on the grounds of their "religious belief and character".
The union of Scottish teachers now claims that denying positions in Catholic schools to otherwise qualified teachers based upon their morality, character or religion is discriminatory and violates the European Convention on Human Rights. Here is the full story from The Herald.
But for some, denying Catholics the freedom to choose their own teachers does not go far enough. Others want Catholic schools completely abolished.
First there is the leader of Scotland's Green Party, Robin Harper. He recently stated: "State education should be secular". He promised that the Green Party would work to end government support for parochial schools. Harper also stated that the existence of religious schools "tends to divide communities". He said Catholics should receive their religious instruction through their parents and pastors.
Finally there is the call for the abolition of Catholic schools by Muslims. From the Scotsman: "An Islamic campaign group has called for a Catholic primary school to be based on the Muslim faith.
The Campaign for Muslim Schools said 90 per cent of pupils at St Albert's Primary, in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow, are Muslim, yet children are having to take part in Catholic rituals like saying the Lord's Prayer and attending mass.
Osama Saeed, co-ordinator of the alliance of Glasgow's main mosques and Muslim organisations, said he could see no reason why the main faith of the school should not change.
He said: "Clearly the parents of that area find a faith school, even if it is of another denomination, preferable to a secular one. But surely it should be possible for them to have one that is relevant to their own faith.
"To move towards this would be a fantastic example of good faith - in more ways than one - on the part of the Church."
The call came just days after Scotland's most senior Catholic, Cardinal Keith O'Brien, sparked controversy by stating that Scotland's core faith was Christianity and that other faiths should recognise they were "living in Scotland as a Christian country". A spokesman for the Catholic Church in Scotland was not available for comment tonight.
