Once a Muslim population reaches 10% + , they can prove to be remarkably successful at taking over schools or political parties. All it takes is for non Muslims to be uninterested or unorganized. Look at the Communists & the Students Union, or Militant & Labour. It's worth noting that the Electoral Commission decided that numerous SNP members were not legitimately elected due to electoral fraud. Postal voting has been a boon to fraudsters. For example, the various Scottish Islands oppose Nationalism, & entire ballot boxes went missing from those regions. I would never describe Muslims as antidemocratic, bearing in mind the wonderful corruption free records of the Palestinians, Bangladeshis, & that home of fair dealing & democracy, Pakistan. but it does make a chap think doesn't it Martin.

And why do they call themselves 'Bhutta'? Is it a title? What is the progress of the Islamic school that their father Akhtar Saeed Bhutta was intent on setting up?

And why do they call themselves ‘Bhutta’? Is it a title?

What is the progress of the Islamic school that their father Akhtar Saeed Bhutta was intent on setting up?

The Scottish Islamic Society is a joke. The Saeed family are only out for themselves. No-one thinks that they care about the Scottish Muslims at all - only about themselves. I'd be most surprised if Osama Saeed was elected at all. No-one in Glasgow’s Muslim community trusts the Saeed family. The Scottish Islamic Society is a joke.
