    I hope you are right but fear those figures are massively out of date with over 20% of children in school non English already
    The best estimate is that around 7 per cent of the UK population will be Muslim by 2020. That's pretty fast growth, up from nearly 5 per cent in 2016, due mainly to migration and higher fertility in the Muslim population.

    Non English could be Christian though. Such as the large Polish and Eastern European population that now live in Britain.

    I've been hearing this stuff since I was at school. Doubt it will ever get close to happening in my lifetime or even in my kids.

    They only measure those that cannot speak English at all from wherever they come from and at the moment it is around 20% of all children attending school for the first time in the UK

    "Higher fertility" That's very diplomatic.

    Not true. The figures you quoted in the Express are for children that don't speak English as a first language. Many, if not most, of those will have some English and others will be age-appropriately fluent, even if the language they speak at home (ie their first language) isn't English.

    Interesting point. I have always struggled to understand why a school will teach physics, chemistry and biology-all essential elements of our physical existence with actual evidence to back up the science and then teach a story from a book about a bloke who died and then came alive some days later to save the world.

    When I was a kid I was made to go to church by my mum. I never believed any of it. I joined the church choir because I liked singing and got paid (a little) for it.
    I remember once asking the Choir Mistress to explain how the process of Jesus rising from the dead had the effect of saving the world and what exactly was it saving the world from. She was clearly not happy being asked this and mumbled some incoherent nonsense that indicated she had no more idea than I did. It's all just fairy tales.

    Just opening the debate slightly , what if this protest had been about an Homosexual teaching Muslm pupils ?. They're illegal protests , breaking all current rules on social gatherings . Death threats made against a teacher , yet some are defending the right to protest . We seem to becoming a doctrinated society , small minority pressure groups overiding anyone elses thoughts if they dare disagree with there narrow views . When all else fails use the race card , stiffle any debate by using the race card .

    They have every right to protest, although not to dish out death threats.

    Everyone else has the right to decide whether they agree or not

    Even if that protest constitutes an illegal gathering?
