It was effectively established as a madrasah, which would produce good little  
  Muslims. That, I have no doubt, is what it has achieved. To be sure, they 
  might not be well-educated little Muslims, and their career prospects are  
  probably poor. But at least they are Muslims, the production  of which was 
  the intended  function of the school.

Needless to say, no other country in Europe has allowed the creation of a 
  separate Muslim educational system. That is Ireland's melancholy 
  contribution to the brainless heresy that is multiculturalism.
