Mr Amreeky, with all due respect, public schools are not supposed to use public money to establish religious schools. That is our law and tradition. You want an Islamic school? Build it with private money. Christians, Jews, Buddists, etc cannot build public schools with taxpayer money. Why should we make an exception for Muslims?
