The first, I assume, relates to Jewish women driving their kids to a Jewish faith school.
And the posters in the second link are just remnants from some religious parade:
The Council said the posters were remnants of a Torah Procession set up by the Haredi community early last week. During the Hachnosus Sefer Torah parade, hundreds of men and women accompanied the Torah scroll as it was taken through Stamford Hill's streets under a chupah, Jewish News reports.
Parade participants usually celebrate the occasion with dancing, so the Haredi community wanted to ensure that the genders were separated. The area’s 20,000 Haredi Jews follow a conservative branch of Judaism that discourages unmarried men and women from touching members of the opposite sex, unless they are close relatives.Comment

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostIn 1901 the proportion of Londoners born elsewhere was 33% of the total and that was less than previous years. Your Dave and John could well have been an Irishman and a Jew. BTW, It has been estimated that one in five Britons has a black ancestor from the 17th or 18th centuries.
In 3 centuries one would sort of expect that.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Originally posted by Gumbo Robot View PostI don't think that's the point though is it?
Jewish people have integrated into society & even where they haven't their populations live side by side with others and don't try to impose on the larger community & where there has been antagonism it has come from the "host" population.
Think it's a bit more of a 2 way street where Tower Hamlets & Rotherham etc are concerned.
Yes about 99% of pupils in that school are Muslim but you wouldn't be complaining if 99% were catholic in a catholic school. It remains a public school and they are waving british flags not ISIS flags.
It does seem strange that they chose this school, though I think it fits in nicely with the Islamaphobic agenda of the media and into spreading the kind of hysteria we have seen on this thread.
Muslim women wear scarves in a similar way to nuns, get over it and accept it, so long as they are peaceful, law-abiding citizens and respect and accept others, what is the problem?Last edited by NorthWestPerm2Contr; 17 June 2015, 15:09.Comment
