How those 33% instead that are in favor of faith school, do you happen to know how many are muslims and what is then their ratio to the whole muslims UK population? Would be an interesting question to give a feeling about what is coming next... I guess UK is trying to negate the problem in a crazy pro-muslims politics (basically given them faith schools were burqa and other amenities are permitted). This interestingly already happened many times in history always leading to big disasters...
