[ April 19, 2024 ]
This horrible story of violent jihadist inculcation in Islamic religious schools in the UK reminded me of the Tennessee mosque I exposed back in April 2009. A first-hand undercover investigation done in Al-Farooq mosque in Nashville, TN.
Despite the audio and video posted at Atlas here, the Nashville DA refused to investigate the child abuse and the beatings in shariah class. Atlas readers called, wrote and contacted the DA's office, but nothing was done.
One of my sources on the story told me at the time that the child who is heard in the video was in imminent danger. Her mother was, too. We do not live in an Islamic state.
Story continues below advertisement
It is an assembly hall of the sort found in any ordinary school. Boys aged 11 and upwards sit cross-legged on the floor in straight rows. They face the front of the room and listen carefully. But this is no ordinary assembly. Holding the children’s attention is a man in Islamic dress wearing a skullcap and stroking his long dark beard as he talks.
‘You’re not like the non-Muslims out there,’ the teacher says, gesturing towards the window. ‘All that evil you see in the streets, people not wearing the hijab properly, people smoking . . . you should hate it, you should hate walking down that street.’
He refers to the ‘non-Muslims’ as the ‘Kuffar’, an often derogatory term that means disbeliever or infidel.Welcome to one of Britain’s most influential Islamic faith schools, one of at least 2,000 such schools in Britain, some full-time, others part-time. They represent a growing, parallel education system.
Grabbed: Secretly filmed footage from the Markazi Jamia mosque shows a teacher pulling a pupil towards him and striking him on the back
The school is the Darul Uloom Islamic High School in Birmingham, an oversubscribed independent secondary school. Darul Ulooms are world-renowned Islamic institutions and their aim is to produce the next generation of Muslim leaders. In fact, these schools have been described as the ‘Etons of Islam’.
This school is required by its inspectors to teach tolerance and respect for other faiths. But the Channel 4 current affairs programme Dispatches filmed secretly inside it – and instead discovered that Muslim children are being taught religious apartheid and social segregation.
We recorded a number of speakers giving deeply disturbing talks about Jews, Christians and atheists.
We found children as young as 11 learning that Hindus have ‘no intellect’ and that they ‘drink cow p***’.
And we came across pupils being told that the ‘disbelievers’ are ‘the worst creatures’ and that Muslims who adopt supposedly non-Muslim ways, such as shaving, dancing, listening to music and – in the case of women – removing their headscarves, would be tortured with a forked iron rod in the afterlife.
In 2009 this school was praised by Government-approved inspection teams for its interfaith teachings. The report said that ‘pupils learn about the beliefs and practices of other faiths and are taught to show respect to other world religions’.
It seems that the inspectors were unaware of the teaching methods revealed by our undercover reporter, Osman. He was taken on as a volunteer at the Darul Uloom school in Birmingham in April 2009 and was allowed to sit in on some lessons – but not their Islamic classes.
So, in July last year, he went into one of the rooms where we’d heard they taught Islamic studies and left a secret camera to record the lessons.
Filming intermittently over a period of four months, the camera recorded children being taught a hardline, intolerant and highly anti-social version of Islam.
During the same period our reporter also attended the Markazi Jamia mosque in Keighley, West Yorkshire, after hearing of serious allegations that children were being hit at its madrassa.
Slapped: A child receives a sharp blow on the back of the head from the same teacher. The impact of the blow can be heard on the film
Madrassas in the UK are part-time after-school or weekend classes, often held in mosques, where children are taught to read the Koran. In Keighley it is not what they are being taught that is the problem, but how.
Again, Osman went into the mosque and left the camera in the room where classes took place.

There is always the constant need to remind the infidel world that Muslims are taught to deceive (taquiyya) and tell half truths (kitman). Muslims understand the great weakness of multiculturalism in Western societies and are playing it for all it is worth. There is no tolerance in the Islamic world for the non Muslim but he is always happy to mislead us infidels in any way he can to get his way. He will even tell you that he wants to build bridges to other religions, believe me he is absolutely lying or practicing taquiyya as did Iman Feisel Rauf in trying to build the mega mosque at ground zero.
Iman Feisel Rauf had only one objective and that was to plant a Mosque at Ground zero so that he could be seen as a hero in the Islamic world. If the Brits had any balls they would start putting these anti Western places out of business as fast as they can.

I don’t mean to nitpick here, but Hindu’s do drink cow piss. They also rub cow shit on their foreheads. That colored ash on their forehead is burnt cow shit with food coloring and herbs. I don’t care what they eat or rub on themselves though. As long as they don’t kill everyone else that isn’t Hindu. Can’t say the same for muslims.

Time and again these exposes on Muslim schools take place in the UK, but the political class and mainstream electronic media (the BBC in particular) invariably make excuses and gloss over the situation, casting aspersions instead upon the characters of the reporters who have brought these vile practices to light. The EDL needs to sort its act out. There has been talk this week that the EDL might field candidates for election in the future. Should it or shouldn’t it? http://durotrigan.blogspot.com/2011/02/should-edl-field-candidates-for.html

Islam is the only religion which is more obsessed with unbelievers than it is with its own followers. Muslims define their own identity solely in opposition to the Kuffar.
Islamic accomplishments are so negligible that they have no positive cultural features with which they can identify. Hence the unceasing and implacable aggression toward civilized peoples and envy of their accomplishments. The development and deliberate cultivation of hatred is such a central feature of Islam that there is nothing that we Kuffars can do, or not do, that would make our univited guests hate us any less or any more.
Rage is so intrinsic to Islam that external events are irrelevant. Hatred of non-Moslems is the pivot of Islamic existence. Muslims are bound together by a shared and carefully nurtured animosity to ‘The Other’ developed from earliest childhood, which ignites a permanent fire of tension between Moslems and non-Moslems. Ever since Jihadists started immigrating into the West, we have become all too familiar with concepts such as ‘Killing the unbelievers wherever you find them’ and the tribal polarities of Dar al-Harb versus Dar al-Islam , Ummah versus Kuffar etc. http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/01/islam-terrorism.html

Islam is a self-confessed humanistic system based on lies and untruth. When they get to the other-side, they’ll find out that the only GOD is not Allah, but that He doesn’t even have a name since He is the only GOD – and gave “the name which is above every name” to His Son, JESUS.
No one is smarter than their criteria.

One of the first musicals in the United States to deal with racism (I know Islam is not a race, but this applies) was South Pacific. In order to keep Islam alive, hatred of the “other” has to be passed from generation to generation. One of the songs hits the nail on the head for these children:
You’ve got to be taught
To hate and fear,
You’ve got to be taught
From year to year,
It’s got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You’ve got to be carefully taught.
You’ve got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a diff’rent shade,
You’ve got to be carefully taught.
You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You’ve got to be carefully taught!

They only filmed in the boys classes, and that was horrific enough. It doesn’t bear thinking about what they do to the female schoolchildren.

The craziness of Islam, the depths to which it will sink should no longer amaze me, but it manages to do so every time.
Its adherents are masters of projection, which is in itself very psychologically bent.
I mean, we know that their prophet advocated drinking camels’ piss and some Islamoloon in Saudi even won a medal for “proving” it as a cure for cancer. WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

Problem about stopping what goes on in the Islamic schools is simple. Inspection of schools in the UK is in the hands of Ofsted an ‘independent’ inspection organisation set up by Act of Parliament back in the 1990’s. When Ofsted first came in it was famous for it’s very tough inspection regime and the strong support it gave to traditional educational practises. Of course the teachers unions, headteachers unions and local authorities didn’t like that ! The last Labour govt toned down the Ofsted regime considerably. If a school is a ‘failing’ school it is inspected in depth at regular intervals. A ‘non-failing’ school is inspected at long intervals and is allowed to fill in a lot of the assessment paperwork themselves. Inspections that used to involve an Ofsted team on site for 4 days now have Ofsted inspectors on site for 1 day.
Worse still for the past few years the head of Ofsted has been a Labour supporting former head teacher who has been very low profile and has made no comments in public about education in the UK. She is married to the obnoxious Tony McNulty, former Home Office Minister, former Labour MP who lost his seat last May.

Wanna bet the authorities do absolutely nothing about the alleged child abuse, that’s the Liberal way pretend nothing bad is happening and life goes on and so does the suffering of children.

All countries, including Western countries, should stop all immigration from Muslim-majority countries immediately to nip the Islam problem in the bud. Otherwise these folks will continue to out-breed their hosts.

Isn’t corporal punishment banned in the UK?
I would think it would be banned in the entire EU.
If it is the authorities are required to investigate.

What about the Jews and Christians who want out.

Corporal punishment is banned in UK full time schools such as the Darul Uloom Islamic High School in Small Heath, Birmingham, shown in the Channel 4 Dispatches documentary but there is a loophole in that the legislation did not cover part time “Supplementary Schools” such as the establishment using the Markazi Jamia Mosque in Keighley West Yorkshire which is also featured in the documentary. Needless to say some politicians are, at least rhetorically, rushing to bolt the stable door.

PS Needless to say, what was shown in the documentary was not corporal punishment but assault and child abuse.

It’s worse than you think. Ofsted (the UK office for standards in education) does not do the inspections of Islamic schools any more. Since September 2008 this is done by the independent Bridge Schools Inspectorate and Ofsted only “monitors” their work. BSI employ retired HMI employees as inspectors.
http://www.bridgeschoolsinspectorate.co.uk/home
One of the four board members of BSI is Dr Mohamed Mukadam, Governor of Leicester Islamic Academy and Chairman of AMSUK (Association of Muslim Schools UK).
Back in January 2005, he was upset about statements made by the chief inspector of Ofsted
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/4184319.stm
“I’m just as British as David Bell. What right has he got to say I’m constituting a threat?”
So says Mohamed Mukadam, chairman of the Association of Muslim Schools, aggrieved at what he sees as unfair criticism by the Ofsted chief.
Mr Bell’s comments that some Muslim schools were not passing on a British “common heritage” have rankled deeply with Muslim educationalists.
“It was very hurtful. And what was the evidence?” asks Dr Mukadam.
Mr Bell’s comments about independent Muslim schools, in a speech on Monday about failings in the teaching of citizenship, have angered Muslim education figures – who say their schools are a success story and not an obstacle to pupils’ entering fully into British life.
A week later, the row over England’s chief education inspector’s criticism of independent Muslim schools has taken a new twist.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/4215517.stm
One of his officials has said that the chief inspector, David Bell, was expressing personal views.
He was “not speaking on behalf of those of us who inspect these schools on a regular basis”, said Christopher Schenk.
In a statement, Ofsted said Mr Schenk’s “personal opinions” were “not based on the full weight of Ofsted’s evidence base”.
Mr Bell’s speech had included an extract from his forthcoming annual report, saying many new Muslim schools must adapt their curriculum “to ensure that it provides pupils with a broad general knowledge of public institutions and services in England and helps them to acquire an appreciation of and respect for other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony.”
This had been drafted by HMIs who directly managed the inspection of independent faith school education, Ofsted said.
So it would be entirely incorrect to claim that Mr Bell’s comments were not fully grounded in Ofsted evidence.
Who is now on the list of advisers to the board of the Bridge Schools Inspectorate? None other than Mr Christopher Schenk, retired HMI.
There’s more on Dr. Mohammed Mukadam at
Mukadam – Nut, Brittle – Written by Dominic Whiteman, Monday, 02 March 2009
http://westminsterjournal.com/content/view/226/30/
This article followed Dr. Mukadam’s criticism published by MCB of a Civitas report and controversy over material on the web sites of Muslim schools revealed in that report the Westminster journal link is to extensive coverage of this issue.
[In October 20006 Dr. Mukadam’s] school passed a ruling that non-Muslim girls would have to wear hijab, then announced that it would not take any non-Muslims after all.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-410312/Non-Muslim-students-Islamic-school-forced-wear-headscarves.html
‘…when the Madani Islamic High School in Leicester put itself forward to receive state funding, there were objections from the local population who thought it would endanger community relations. An adjudicator was brought in to rule on the objections and was reassured by the school’s founders that they would take a ten per cent quota of non-Muslims in order to encourage “community cohesion”. The adjudicator believed them, and said in his report, that approved the school: “One further tangible expression of the school’s inclusiveness lies in its commitment to reserve 10 per cent of its places for non-Muslim pupils. Well, the school is now open and the ten per cent promise has gone by the board. Madani’s head teacher, Mohammed Mukadam, said later that non-Muslim pupils will only be accepted once demand from Muslims has been “exhausted”. But as there were 400 applications the 120 places in year seven this September, all pupils will be Muslim.’
Another board member of Bridge Schools Inspectorate is Mr Idris Mears – Member of MCB (Muslim Council of Britain) and a fundraiser for AMSUK (Association of Muslim Schools UK)
For a discussion of the Muslim Brotherhood, Muslim Council of Britain, Muslim Association of Britain and Jamaat-e-Islami refer to the article:
http://bigpeace.com/amorgan/2011/02/08/muslim-brotherhood-influence-in-the-united-kingdom/
From a comment by Abu Faris Nov 29th 2009 in the Newsnight report on close Links Between Hizb ut Tahrir and the ISF School.
http://www.spittoon.org/archives/3929
Here he is [Idris Mears] defending Sacranie’s repellent views on homosexuality in a letter he jointly signed to the Times:
The practice of homosexuality is regarded as being sinful in Islam.
We are deeply concerned about the breakdown of basic family values and the undermining of the key institution of marriage in Britain today. All Britons, whether they are in favour of homosexuality or not, should be allowed to freely express their views in an atmosphere free of intimidation or bullying. We cannot claim to be a truly free and open society while we are trying to silence dissenting views.
http://www.mcb.org.uk/media/letter124.php
Sacranie was at the time (2006) being investigated by the police over his strongly expressed homophobia. Idris Mears (along with others at the MCB) affirmed at the time their belief that:
Sir Iqbal’s views faithfully reflected mainstream Islamic teachings.
