What a load of Bull! More people have been killed and lives ruined through drug abuse than through so called "Muslim" terrorism. Perhaps we should teach citizenship to the smackheads on Drake Street trying to sell you every drug you want! The best way to prevent young Muslims from become extremists is for the government to withdraw it's 21st Century crusaders from Afghanistan and Iraq.

   I agree that central government don't know the Rochdale area and could be wasting more money. I am disappointed personally about the way our herritage is disappearing and lot of people of Rochdale agree. Many of our schools and beautiful brick buildings have been demolished only to be replaced by private cheap buildings. The only nice new buildings now in Rochdale are the Mosques. Accrington brick is very hard to get these days or expensive, so why are we not looking after our herritage.I found out recently that Heybrook school is earmarked for demolishion. What a shame! This is a historical building and should be saved. I attended this school with fellow muslims and there was never a problem about religion.A new all GIRLS muslim school is to be opened at the former High Birch Special School. What about equal opportunities and integration issues. The parents of these special children needed a small local school but it has been sold off. Rochdale council could start spending money in all areas of Rochdale for a change and treat everyone equally. We have lost many local libraries and money has never been spent on swimming baths or the running track at Springfield park. Please spend our money wisely to gain sustainability for everyone.
