Staffordshire should stop swimming lessons during Ramadan to ensure that Muslim pupils do not swallow water a local council has suggested.
Why not ban Muslim students from swimming during Ramadan and allow the other pupils to continue their lessons.

i saw that, stoke on trent council i believe.
i doubt that allah the merciful would consign kids downstairs for accidentally swallowing water.
sounds to me like a pen pusher looking to be seen as active when they decide who to boot out due to cutbacks in funding.

why not get the local priest to bless the water to make it holy water.

At the end of the day, it`s all H2O.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

That's not the point Brian, even though you're suggestion is very amusing. I think Marek has the sensible answer to this situation. Let the non-mussies do their lessons and consign the mussies to learning English, Maths and English history.
That way everyone is a winner.

if i can tip you off here, if al quaeeda come for you, just try to calm them down with soothing words then invite them in for a beer and a bacon roll.

In Arabic, the word al qaeda means a place where people sit. It can be a lounge, a garden, and in some dialects it is a slang word for toilet.
