DURHAM Free School has been found to have taught the horrifying fact that God created the heaven and the Earth.

This is against Government education policy and the fact that, as a country, we are now a secular society.

The parent of one pupil is so horrified that they contacted The Northern Echo (Echo, Feb 28).

Meanwhile a Muslim murderer who is responsible for beheading innocent people abroad is identified as a former pupil of "The University of Westminster" in London.

Allegedly this educational establishment is a hotbed of religious fundamentalism where young Muslims are radicalised by teaching them that Islam allows violence and murder against non-believers - a teaching that the majority of law abiding Muslims reject.

We then have an anti-Muslim rally in Newcastle opposed by many who support immigration and the freedoms of our society.

Clearly, I am missing something here.

Perhaps the horrified parent of a pupil at a local school who was taught about a Christian belief is not moved enough to complain about another school elsewhere in our former Christian country apparently allowing muslim pupils to be so radicalised that they kill non-believers.

Surely this university should be closed down also?

Truly we are living in a mad society.
