What I observe is that the political aspect of Islam is starting to get more traction, in that the local council appears to be onside with this.  14 yrs ago when our daughter was 9, & at a Catholic primary school, there were a couple of Kenyan asian muslims, attached to a mosque in Coventry, who used to come & play bongo type drums & the woman would sing. I never heard any of their efforts but they were both very pleasant. The woman wore a headscarf  in a very flamboyant, colourful, African style.

Interfaith dialogue was the reason.

A school trip to this mosque was proposed, to which I had no objection....to begin with. As the due date came closer the mosque issued guidelines on how the little girls should be dressed, no bare arms or legs. It was a very hot period in summer & they were all wearing short sleeved cotton gingham dresses, the school uniform. I wrote a letter to the Head & the Chairman of the governors withdrawing my daughter from the trip, unless the mosque relented on the dress code. Amongst other things I pointed out that the girls were welcome at the local Catholic church dressed in the summer uniform, so why not in the mosque.

Anyway, this letter caused quite a stir apparently as I found out later, the Head took my side, & the mosque backed down. As far as I know without animosity.

It doesn't take much to push back, the problem is when it becomes politicised, & yes, this is entirely of our own making.
