Should children be forced to go to classes that clash with their religion? Plus we've got Guess the Story, so get involved.

At 1, Nihal asks 'Should children be forced to go to classes that clash with their religion?'.

We've heard of parents complaining about sex education and last month we reported on the story of a Christian girl who refused to wear a head scarf into a mosque on a school trip. Now a Muslim girl in a South London Primary school has been pulled out of music lessons because her parents believe playing an instrument is forbidden.

But is this a widespread problem? A spokesperson for the Muslim Council of Britain says that at a guess ten per cent of parents in his community would have a problem with their children listening to music. Are you one of those? Would you pull your children out of a class on religious grounds?

At 2, Its time for 'Guess the Story'.

Nihal will have a panel in the studio trying to guess this week's howlers and you're up against them. So make sure you are ready by your phones and get scores on your tallies. Call 08459 440 445, text 81869 or email Nihal@bbc.co.uk.
