UK: Schools advised against swimming lessons in Ramadan, to ensure Muslim children don't swallow water
These suggestions came from,of course the Muslim Council of Britain, a group connected to the Muslim Brotherhood, that openly believes Shari'a law should be integrated into British law.
What are small children doing fasting??
Swimming lessons in some Staffordshire schools should stop during Ramadan to ensure Muslim pupils "do not swallow water", a council has suggested.
Stoke-on-Trent City Council has issued an 11-page Ramadan guide for schools to help pupils who may be fasting when the school year starts in September.
It said swimming was acceptable to Muslims but posed a high risk of swallowing water that may break a fast.
Islam requires Muslims to fast from dawn until dusk for one month per year.
This year's Ramadan is expected to begin on or around 11 August and finish 30 days afterwards.... [via Islamization Watch]
