#1 However, other Muslim parents had concerns about the school.

Dr Saad Al-Harran took his son out of Al-Madinah after just two weeks. He said the school had a "narrow interpretation" of the Islamic faith. Communication and management were very poor.

Another father said the problems were caused by divided cultures within the Islamic faith. There was distinct and growing animosity between "normal" Muslims and Wahabis (a puritanical sect) within the school, he said.

Mr Finn said the special character of the school had to be considered, but it was integrated into the New Zealand system "and needs to meet the education requirements".

wow. Common sense from NZ. Guess the Islamists misunderstood the whole tolerance thing to mean that western cultures would tolerate their hatred and degredation of women. This is one of the few articles that gives voice to those elusive moderate Muslims, proving that they are out there. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that a good majority of Muslims in western societies feel this way, it's just that they are afraid to speak up.

Actually, 2b it's:

Allan will have me chop off your infidel head, this I know,

for the Koran tells me so you're an infidel!
