Teacher Ousted From British Muslim School

Filed under: Anti-Religious Prejudice, Anti-Semitism, Prejudice

From The Sun:

A BRITISH Muslim school is teaching children that Jews are “repugnant apes” and Christians “pigs”, a former teacher claims.

Colin Cook, 57, says when he raised his concerns to chiefs at the Saudi government-funded King Fahad Academy in West London he was told: “This is not England. It is Saudi Arabia.” Some of the 1,250 pupils at the faith school are alleged to have been heard idolising Osama bin Laden, praising 9/11 and saying they want to “kill Americans”.

Mr Cook — himself a Muslim — warned yesterday: “The school could produce a dangerous harvest.

“It is clearly racist and very divisive. It’s deeply immoral to put such ideas into the heads of young children.

“The vast majority of Muslims, including myself, are law-abiding, tolerant of others and peaceful. I understand now why pupils express anti-Western views at the school. Similar concerns at the sister school in Bonn, Germany, gave rise to the fear that the Academies could become breeding grounds for terrorists.”


(Getting rid of "all Jews" would actually be worse than Saudi Arabia. But I digress.)

This is not the first time I've heard this about textbooks. Is there a PDF -- anywhere -- of such things?

I hope that Mr. Cook's claims are untrue, because if they're not, this means that a group of Muslim children need to either find another school, or there is a school in the UK that needs to fire a significant percentage of its administration.

The Saudis pull shit like this all the time, it should surprise nobody. The free english translations of the Qu'ran are often altered to connote several slanders against Jews and Christians. It'll be a great day when they government of the KSA face justice for their crimes, along with 90% of the royal family.
