O/t dispatches : Mon Feb 14, 2011 8:36 pm  

Anyone else appalled by what has been shown on channel 4 programme called dispatches. Once again Keighley is on tv this time not gang violence but physical assault on children at the mosque down Lawkholme lane. The assaults are carried out by the teachers. A leader of the Mosque stated this was the first they knew about it yet Ann Cryer our former MP who featured on the programme was aware of this going on years ago and was slated for raising the issue. I find the whole thing very disturbing. Whilst some people shy away from criticising the people representing islam in this way must be challenged as would be with any other relgion such as the abuse by catholic priests. There is no difference at all. Whilst this is no doubt carried out by a small minority this cannot be ignored. Non muslims are described as evil and other phrases not suitable for this forum viewed by people of all ages.

like the last OT thread ..time and place for discussions like this and this KEIGHLEY COUGARS / RUGBY LEAGUE forum aint one of em....

Re: O/t dispatches : Mon Feb 14, 2011 8:48 pm  

It's clearly labelled as O/T and it's about Keighley, so discussion is welcome on here.

Everybody knows the lines that can't be crossed, stay within them and it's fine.

Difficult to write something without sounding racist so i will bite my tongue

Similar to obeone, what I have to say may be difficult without it being classed racist by some people.

All I will say is, several people at work yesterday commented to me that they had seen the programme. So glad I moved out of Keighley when I did because all the programme will do if anything, is increase racial tensions in the town. Anyone who says it wont is obviously in cloud cuckoo land. Though having said that, I do believe the programme was right to go out and highlight what was happening, in the same way it should be highlighted in ANY other school.

It is sad to see Keighley in this light and is gives me no pleasure when people rubbish its name. I do miss Keighley for the Cougars but apart from that, sadly... nothing else.

What concerned me was the attitude of the Keighley Councillor at the end of piece accusing the film makers of putting kids in danger, using a sporting term he is not fit to wear the shirt.
