Matthew from http://newscounter.com/ had asked I read the responses to the article on their site and wondered what my cynical response to the “UK MUSLIMS: ‘BAN’ UN-ISLAMIC SCHOOLS” article is. i hope i don’t disappoint:

Anyone who knows me will tell you I’m a very opinionated person. I held my mouth this time as the article did seem a tad scandalous. Despite its nature, I posted the article as it brought up some interesting points. Here in America, we deal with a certain prevalent religion trying to push its way into our schools, and I think this article provides an interesting contrast to that. Unfortunately the response to the article you posted seems to have come from the other side of the field, I’m sure somewhere in that grey area we’ll find the truth. Ultimately we’ll have to see what school officials do in response to the requests.

My opinion: Since it would be impossible for schools to give fair shrift to all religions, we cannot allow some religions in because they are popular. Schools should respect students actions that are a result of religious exercise, but not in such a way that other students are effected. A perfect example: if a Jain decided to attend a western school and asked that we respect their religious beliefs… well… the school would be hard pressed to teach anything!

Yeah you gotta pay for it but here’s how they get you:

The first is that every film begins with a 5 second display of the name
of the person who purchased that copy, as it appears on their credit
card. The second step is that Streamburst strips out an undetectable
but unique series of bits from each copy of a file downloaded. The
company claims that this signature will survive most editing and format
transfers. That idea is that the psychological barrier of being named
will stop many people from illegally distributing the files and those
whom it doesn’t stop can be identified by the unique series of bits
stripped from whatever copies make it into illegal file sharing
networks.

I’m surprised they didn’t think of this sooner.
