People should be free to peacefully practice whichever religion they choose and if they want to build a Mosque, Synagogue, Temple or anything else, then that's fine, as long as they don't expect the tax-payer to fund it.
Also, Muslim history should be taught in schools, along with the history of all the other major religions. They have all played a fundamental part in the history of the human race, including causing many wars and the deaths of millions of people.
However, I'm totally opposed to "Faith Schools". These are a barrier to integration and understanding and should be abolished. Religion should be studied in schools, but should not be forced upon the pupils.
