This chapter addresses the Clarke and Kershaw reports. In each report, much stands or falls on the idea that an ‘Islamic ethos’ is, in itself, problematic. This is a misunderstanding, one that is allowed to arise because neither report systematically addresses the issue of the nature of the religious requirements on schools. Indeed, notwithstanding that educational advisers from the DfE were part of the Clarke Report, it repeatedly refers to schools without a faith designation as ‘secular’. There is a further assumption in each report, too, that an ‘Islamic ethos’ would be ‘intolerant’, with the Clarke Report describing the Muslim Council of Britain's guidance on meeting the needs of Muslim pupils in state schools as a document about ‘Islamification’, although it is, in fact, a document designed to facilitate integration.
