The first Islamic school in The Hague counts wrongly Hindu students. The two religious movements do not mix, says Chairman Desh Ramnath of the Hindu Council Netherlands.
, Islam and Hinduism do not go together at one school, '' said Ramnath. ,, They think differently about the position of women, of homosexuals, on clothing and food. This leads to tensions. ''
The Hindu Council Netherlands, like The Hague and other schools objections to high school who initiated the Ozone Layer wants to set up. That the Ministry of Education has given the green light for a high school on Muslim and Hindu foundation is a ridiculous decision, according to the Hindu community.
The opponents brought their concerns forward this week during a hearing at the Office of Education. Doing about six weeks.
Merely
Ramnath of the Hindu Council can not escape the impression that the Hindu children are merely used to get plenty of potential students. Without them meets the school does not have the minimum number of students. ,, Our own research shows that Hindu parents have no need for such a combined school. There is no support, the most important criterion. ''
The municipality has doubts about the quality of education. She is afraid of a debacle as the Islamic College in Amsterdam, which by order of the Inspectorate had to close.
Other high schools accuse competitors of insufficient professionalism. From the Muslim world heard criticism of the strict Islamic views of the Ozone Layer. But according to lawyer Jan-Willem van Kleef of the new school, all the claims based on fear and prejudice. ,, It is not strictly Islamic school. Every Muslim is welcome. And every Hindustani. ''
