The Charity Commission, the regulator of charities in England and Wales, issued an official warning Friday to the Lantern of Knowledge Educational Trust after a teacher there admitted to teaching terrorist material to children.
Umar Ahmed Haque was employed from April 2015 to January 2016 as an Islamic Studies teacher at the Lantern of Knowledge Secondary School in east London, an independent school for boys between the ages of 11 to 16.
In March 2018, Haque was found guilty on multiple counts of terrorism charges and later sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 25 years.
“His plan was to create an army of children to assist with multiple terrorist attacks throughout London,” said Dean Haydon, head of the Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Command.

“He tried and he did, we believe, radicalize vulnerable children from the ages of 11 to 14,” he said.
Haque admitted to showing children at Lantern of Knowledge an ISIS propaganda video. He said that he did not believe it would lead them to commit acts of terror, and the jury could not reach a verdict.
However, he was found guilty of charges connected to his teaching at a separate school run by the Essex Islamic Academy.
The Charity Commission said Haque showed children videos that depicted scenes of extreme and brutal violence, including footage of people murdered by beheading, shot at close range, and having their throats cut.
In addition, Haque taught children “physical training/role plays with military undertones.”
This included having two opposing groups where children would take on the role of “martyrs” and police officers.
Tim Hopkins of the Charity Commission said, “Umar Haque’s action at this charity was appalling.”
“It is completely unacceptable for any charity to be associated with terrorism, and we are concerned by the corrosive effect this might have on public confidence in this and other charities,” he said.

Our schools teach White kids that they are immoral and contemptible if they don’t support the White Genocide that’s being carried out by massive third-world immigration and forced assimilation in every White country and only White countries.
Their teachers never tell them, “White self-hatred is SICK!!!“
Those teachers claim to be anti-racist. What they are is anti-White.
At least you Brits got a lame and weak Government warning issued.
Here in the USA Trump’s Secretary of Education since 2017, Elisabeth Dee DeVos is doing NOTHING to combat leftist and islamic indoctrination in universities and public K-12 schools receiving Federal tax money.
3-3/4 years wasted. Devos is ‘Complicit’ by ‘Omission Of Action!’
He was (pre-president) very against vaccinations of many if not all sorts. Today, he’s fast tracking a vaccine from Gates’ affiliates, and will use the army to administer it.??
He allows the country to be shut down, and then okays a transfer of wealth the likes of which has not been seen in all of US history. Ballooning the national debt, enriching the elite rich, and giving the bill for it all to the little guy.??
This does not mean to say that he hasn’t done some really great things, nor that the swamp surrounding the office has been more of an uphill battle than he ever thought it would be. He was the only rational vote in 2016 and is still the only rational vote now, but he is not the saviour many hope he is.
November is also not the crucial decision that the hype has drummed it to be. No matter who wins, it doesn’t take a genius to realize that both the social divide and the real economy, spell enormous trouble ahead. Political solutions have run out of time.
It’s frightening because there seems to be no one else to step into his shoes and carry on the good work that he started so well. I wonder what would Tucker Carlson be like as a political leader? Strikes me as the sort of bloke who understands the direction things Should be going and I don’t see anyone else of any gravity waiting in the wings to fill that role.

The UK is a caliphate now. They were much better off under the Plantagenets.
You’re not kidding either the muslums must be laughing their butts off at the stupid, craven, corrupt idiots who run the dying atheist West.

Wow, I’m impressed. Issuing a “warning” to these bloodthirsty throwbacks to the 7th century is the sure-fire solution to islamic viciousness. I’ll bet those jihadists are just shaking in their shoes!
Oh, wait. They don’t wear shoes, living as they do in filth and in caves.
