How on earth could you justify excluding muslim kids from a weekend like this! Can you imagine a poster up in a school corridor join us for a weekend of fun and adventure, see first hand what army life is like, open to all except muslims.
Strikes me that sort of thinking will send young muslims straight into the arms of waiting radicals.
Just by altering a few words, I will throw your argument back.
"How on earth could you justify excluding non-muslim kids from a weekend like this! Can you imagine a poster up in a school corridor join us for a weekend of fun and adventure, see first hand what army life is like, open only to muslims."
So, everybody except muslims is excluded!
My comment is that if there were a freebie, fun weekender specifically for white English youths, the EOps would have a field day!
Inclusion - fine.
Segregation by colour, race or religion - for whatever reason should be a
big no-no!
This is the point behind the post.
