UK: Plot to 'Islamize' British Schools

Some of these schools have 99% Muslim students. Which way do you want them to go? They have to have collective worship. So what collective worship this is going to be? I think this isn't anything but scaremongering and a looking at things with black shades.

This is the same thing that is being done all over the world, including the US. It is done quietly and discreetly in the colleges here and in the UK and in all of the schools in every country in the EU. Jewish students going to US colleges are discriminated against by the Muslim students who have their own clubs on campus. I read an article about this a few years ago so whatever happens in Europe will never surprise me. The Muslims have installed their own lawyers in all EU countries and the US so as to be able to jump in and defend what is going on in the schools and colleges or workplaces by alleging that everyone has a phobia against Muslims.

I closely follow the uncivilized ideologies and acts that are part of Islamic polity, religion, and culture. But when I read about a "plot to take over" something (schools, the world), I am reminded of the fraudulent The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, an anti-Semitic hoax purporting to describe a Jewish plan for global domination first published in Russia in 1903. I am also reminded that the Protocols and the videos it spawned are best sellers in the Muslim world and widely believed - hook, line, and sinker. Nevertheless, I tend to accept that there is an Islamic attempt to take over some (now, all later) British schools. I come to this conclusion, not based on a base emotional hatred of Muslims, but based on evidence, observation, and study. I read in the Koran and other Islamic law and lore that Muslims are told they are the best of people, they should convert or subdue the non-Muslim peoples (make them pay a special tax, jizyah, with willing submission), violence may (should) be used, deceit is acceptable (commendable), women and children are fair game, Muslims shouldn't be friends with Jews and Christians, they should expel Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula, and they should be unmerciful to non-Muslims. Since Islam itself commands Muslims to take over the whole world and since one can readily observe Muslims violently and stealthy inflicting their ways on the rest of the world, it is easy to give credence to a plot to takeover some British schools.

I have admired SK's articles for some time and this story which gained prominence in March is testament to Gatestone's research skills. For too long, decades indeed, the inclusivists and free multiculturalists have played fast and loose with British and European democratic freedoms and a small number of Salafist extremists have successfully hidden behind 'taqiyya'". According to sharia, in certain situations, such deception is not only permitted but sometimes obligatory. With this in mind, it is clear that the Trojan Horse document (I for one moment do not believe it to be an 'elaborate hoax' as Tahir Alam alleges) cannot be addressed by a sop to Cerberus, a feeble political murmur, easily drowned in the racist catcalling that would inevitably follow. Instead, why do we allow ourselves the decadent luxury of impoverished ignorance to cushion our thinking against a clear, present and rapidly growing danger, not just in the UK, but across Europe? Unless, of course, we are entirely willing for our democratic, universal freedoms to be systematically eroded piecemeal. The one thing the extremists have is time, which for us seems to be running out.

The Trojan Horse was a gift and so is this. Islamic supremacists could not have done Britain a greater favour than setting out their agenda to dominate and essentially overtake the country in a letter like this. The misnomered title (the real Trojan Horse was ostensibly a gift unlike this agenda which was, until now, a poorly-guarded secret but a secret nonetheless -- but then leave it to Muslims to botch Western cultural traditions) has the subtlety of a sledgehammer. And maybe this is the sledgehammer Britain's been awaiting. I certainly hope so.

Muslim children not only need Eid Holidays, but they need state funded Muslim schools with Muslim teachers as role models during their development period also. There is no place for a non-Muslim child or a teacher in a Muslim school.

The schools must satisfy the spiritual, moral, social, and cultural needs of Muslim pupils. State schools with non-Muslim monolingual teachers are not in a position to satisfy their needs. A good school is not just a knowledge factory or a conveyor belt for churning out exam passes - it is a community, a family. A community is held together by common values and principles.

It is a common saying that British schooling is upholding British values of integration, respect, tolerance and equality. But all minority groups find British schooling is the home of institutional racism and British teachers are racist. This is one of the many reason why they would like to see their children attending their own schools with their own teachers. Muslim community started setting up school in the 80s and I set up the first Muslim school in 1981 and now there are 180 Muslim schools and only 12 are state funded. Sikh and Hindu communities have set up their own schools. Now the Black community is thinking of setting up schools with their own teachers.

Western media and politicians have been trying their best to propagate against Muslim schools. Muslim schools are even called Osama bin Laden Academies by a Teaching Union. Only less than 5% of Muslim children attend Muslim schools while more than 95% are in state schools to be mis-educated and de-educated by non-Muslim monolingual teachers. The demand for state funded Muslim schools is in accordance with the law of the land. Muslim community is not asking for any favour. Muslim community pays all sorts of taxes and is less burden on social services. Church leaders say it is no longer "appropriate" for them to run Sacred Heart RC Primary School which has just six Christian pupils. The school in Blackburn, Lancs, could be handed to the nearby Masjid-e-Tauheedul mosque.

The Muslim community has been passing through a phase of fourth Crusades. The battleground is the field of education, where the young generation will be educated properly with the Holy Quran in one hand and Sciences in other hand to serve the British society and the world at large. A true Muslim is a citizen of the world, which has become a small global village. We are going to prepare our youth to achieve that objective in the long run. A true Muslim believes in Prophet Moses and the Prophet Jesus and without them one cannot be a Muslim. My suggestion is that in all state, independent and Christian based school special attention should be given to the teaching of Comparative Religion and Islam should be taught by qualified Muslim Teachers to make the children aware the closeness of Islam to Christianity and Judaism which will help them to think about Islam, as "A Pragmatic and Modern Way of Life," during their life time.

Muslim schooling is on the rise in the West. Anti-Muslim attitudes in state schools contribute to its growth. There are 240 to 250 private Islamic schools in the U.S and 188 Muslim schools in the United Kingdom and out of that 12 are state funded. The increasing enrollment in these schools reflects the religion's growing number of Muslims and the desire of parents to shelter young Muslims from discrimination and discomfort they might encounter at state schools. But Islamic schools, like mosques and other Islamic institutions, can be viewed with distrust and even hostility.

The demand for Muslim schools comes from parents who want their children a safe environment with an Islamic ethos. Parents see Muslim schools where children can develop their Islamic Identity where they won't feel stigmatised for being Muslims and they can feel confident about their faith. Muslim schools are working to try to create a bridge between communities. There is a belief among ethnic minority parents that the British schooling does not adequately address their cultural needs. Failing to meet this need could result in feeling resentment among a group who already feel excluded. Setting up Muslim school is a defensive response. State schools with monolingual teachers are not capable to teach English to bilingual Muslim children. Bilingual teachers are needed to teach English to such children along with their mother tongue. According to a number of studies, a child will not learn a second language if his first language is ignored.

"A good grasp of one's mother tongue is an essential base for a child who then has to get to grips with the language of their host country," reckons Amelia Lambelet of the Fribourg Institute of Multilingualism. Therese Salzmann, an expert in multilingualism at the Swiss Institute of Youth and Media, agrees. "The teaching of mother tongues reinforces self-confidence and gives the child a feeling of security." She adds that "taking account of a child's double cultures is a determining factor in their social integration and professional success."

British society must learn to respect and tolerate those who are different. God has created diverse human beings to live in this tiny global village of one family. Creation by its very nature is diverse with different species, different communities, different cultures and languages. These differences represent the beauty and wonder but diversity is sometimes not fully appreciated, resulting in all sorts of clashes. The British society and Establishment must learn to respect and accommodate others, as if in a family. A report by the Institute for Community Cohesion found that native parents were deserting some schools after finding their children out numbered by pupils from ethnic minorities. Schools in parts of England are becoming increasingly segregated. The study focused on 13 local authorities. Many of the schools and colleges are segregated and this was generally worsening over recent years. This is racism because British society is the home of institutional racism. A study by Bristol University reveals that a high level of racial segregation in Oldham schools and tension between communities resulted in recent riots in 2001. The solution is that those schools where Muslim children are majority, may be designated as Muslim community schools. The native parents do not want their children to be educated along with migrant children. As soon as they find that the number of other children are on the increase, they remove their children to those schools where native children are in majority.

During colonial days, British did not follow local customs or culture. They didn't exactly "go native". They even forced the native Americans and native Australian to adopt all the evils of their culture and customs. They are still the underdogs of American and Australian societies. At least Australian Prime Minister apologised to the natives for their evil deeds. Brits living in Spain and France don't even bother learning the language of the new adopted country. Frankly suggesting that people don't want to become "British" they should move elsewhere is extremely irritating. Immigrants are in UK because they are needed, it was never an act of charity. Without migration, British economy and society will bleed to death. British culture and customs will undoubtedly change as it has for millennium due to immigration. I am not quite sure why Brits would be worried about that.

You better teach your children in your own schools and let migrant communities teach their children according to their needs and demands. British Establishment and society should concentrate on the evils of their own society and stop trying to change the way of life of Muslims. Muslim community does not want to integrate with the British society, indulging in incivility, anti-social behaviour, drug and knife culture, binge drinking, teenage pregnancies and abortion. Prince Charles, while visiting the first grant maintained Muslim school in north London, said that the pupils would be the future ambassadors of Islam. But what about thousands of others, who attend state schools deemed to be "sink schools"? In education, there should be a choice and at present it is denied to the Muslim community. In the late 80s and early 90s, when I floated the idea of Muslim community schools, I was declared a "school hijacker" by an editorial in the Newham Recorder newspaper in east London. This clearly shows that the British media does not believe in choice and diversity in the field of education and has no respect for those who are different. Muslim schools, in spite of meager resources, have excelled to a further extent this year, with couple of schools achieving 100% A-C grades for five or more GCSEs. They beat well resourced state and independent schools in Birmingham and Hackney. Muslim schools are doing better because a majority of the teachers are Muslim. The pupils are not exposed to the pressures of racism, multiculturalism and bullying.

There are hundreds of state primary and secondary schools where Muslim pupils are in majority. In my opinion all such schools may be opted out to become Muslim Academies. This mean the Muslim children will get a decent education. Muslim schools turned out balanced citizens, more tolerant of others and less likely to succumb to criminality or extremism. Muslim schools give young people confidence in who they are and an understanding of Islam's teaching of tolerance and respect which prepares them for a positive and fulfilling role in society. Muslim schools are attractive to Muslim parents because they have better discipline and teaching Islamic values. Children like discipline, structure and boundaries. Bilingual Muslim children need Bilingual Muslim teachers as role models during their developmental periods, who understand their needs and demands.

Where are the British lawyers who can sue the school system on behalf of the staff that was maligned and driven out? They should sue to get their positions reinstated with punitive damages and back pay, have the community parent boards behind these corruptions of the system fired and barred from participating in the school/community councils and personally sued for starting libelous campaigns against staff for their own gain and corrupt obstruction of the British educational system. Whether or not the majority of the student body is Muslim, the educational system is British. Where is the British sense of ethics and rule of law? Where is the example they are setting to the entire British public? Does corruption and manipulation have a place in British society, education and jurisprudence? Where are the voices that demand fairness under the law, British Law? These outrages against the foundations of British society should be shared and trumpeted everywhere. This is neither isolated, nor accidental, nor benign or open for interpretation.
