Muslim students felt compelled to pray Jummah prayers outside in the cold and rain amid a prayer room dispute at Solihull Sixth Form College.
Students claim the college is “interfering” in Islamic faith matters, including trying to stop gender segregation in the multi-faith prayer room.
"The school was trying to abolish (Islamic) segregation .. They're telling us how we should pray even though it is our religion"
