Muslim schools abuse warning

MUSLIMS could face a child abuse scandal on a par with those experienced by the Catholic Church, a report has warned.

A group of Muslim leaders says the community is in denial about child abuse in religious schools. There are about 700 in the UK.

They want ministers to regulate the schools.

Ghayasuddin Siddiqui, co-author of the report, said: "If nothing is done now we may face an avalanche of child sex-abuse scandals."
