We do use books that call Jews 'apes' admits head of Islamic school
Last updated at 12:27pm on 7th February 2007
The principal of an Islamic school has admitted that it uses textbooks which describe Jews as 'apes' and Christians as 'pigs' and has refused to withdraw them.
Dr Sumaya Alyusuf confirmed that the offending books exist after former teacher Colin Cook, 57, alleged that children as young as five are taught from racist materials at the King Fahd Academy in Acton.
In an interview on BBC2's Newsnight, Dr Alyusuf was asked by Jeremy Paxman whether she recognised the books.
She said: "Yes, I do recognise these books, of course. We have these books in our school.
"These books have good chapters that can be used by the teachers. It depends on the objectives the teacher wants to achieve."
In another exchange, Dr Alyusuf insisted the books should not be scrapped, saying that allegedly racist sections had been 'misinterpreted'.
The school is owned, funded and run by the government of Saudi Arabia.
Mr Paxman asked: "Will you now remove this nonsense from the Saudi Ministry of Education from your school?"
Dr Alyusuf replied: "Just to reiterate what I said earlier, there are chapters from these books that are used and that will serve our objectives. But we don't teach hatred towards Judaism or Christianity - on the contrary."
During the programme Louise Ellman, MP for Liverpool Riverside and chairman of the Jewish Labour Movement, accused the school of inciting racial hatred and hit out at Ofsted inspectors for failing to discover the textbooks.
She said: "This whole situation is unacceptable. It is incitement. It is part of a deliberate Saudi initiative to install Wahabbism extremism among Muslims and in the rest of society. If Ofsted has not drawn attention to this, that is a failing of Ofsted.
"It is unacceptable and we should look to see if this is happening in other schools as well. This is about teaching children. I think the school should take immediate action and so should the regulatory authorities."
In his employment tribunal claim Mr Cook, who taught English at the school for 19 years, has accused it of poisoning pupils' minds with a curriculum of hate. Arabic translators have found that the books also describe Jews as 'repugnant'.
Dr Alyusuf initially claimed that the books were 'not taught currently', saying: "We teach a different curriculum. We teach an international curriculum."
Asked by Mr Paxman, "Would you discipline any teacher who has used these teaching materials?", she replied: "Of course I would."
The principal, who has been in the post just under six months, also claimed: "I monitor what is taught in the classrooms. I have developed the curriculum myself."
Asked by Mr Paxman whether she agreed with the suggestion in teaching materials that non-believers in Islam are condemned to 'hellfire', she said: "We don't teach that. We teach Islam and it is important for our students to assert their identity."
Mr Cook, of Feltham, was earning £35,000 a year and is seeking £100,000 in compensation.
In legal papers submitted to a Watford employment tribunal, he alleged that pupils as young as five are taught that religions including Christianity and Judaism are 'worthless'.
He also alleges that when he questioned whether the curriculum complied with British laws, he was told: "This is not England. It is Saudi Arabia".
Pupils have allegedly been heard saying they want to 'kill Americans', praising 9/11 and idolising Osama bin Laden as their 'hero'.
Mr Cook claims he was dismissed last December after blowing the whistle on the school for covering up cheating by children in GCSE exams.
He is bringing a tribunal claim for unfair dismissal, race discrimination and victimisation. The school is vigorously defending his claims.
"In another exchange, Dr Alyusuf insisted the books should not be scrapped, saying that allegedly racist sections had been 'misinterpreted'."
pigs & apes? I begin to see how they were misinterpeted. It depends on what the meaning of the words "pigs and apes" is!!!! Sounds vaguely familiar to me.
When will this moslem stuff come to an end?? You can't make it up fast enough. It is sad that this is tolerated.
How dare the British Government allow these lies to be taught in British Schools. The children are being brain washed to hate the Jews and Christians and the British Government is sanctioning it by not keeping a tight check on the school books being used and the hate that is being taught.
Why do the British fall all over themselves being kind to obvious bigots? This is analogous to acting kindly towards Nazis.
British Schools? These are Saudi schools in Britain.
British Schools? These are Saudi schools in Britain.
As they ramp up their presence in the west, they won't need to import terrorists any more. In fact the UK has exported a terrorist or two. I'd love to see an curriculum audit done on Islamic schools in the US.
"Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Obama - what say you?"
They have to consult their imam.

They may be Saudi schools, they are on British soil.

Yes, like whether we want them to fly planes in buildings or just blow themselves up at the local library. It's all in the context you see.
Don't the Brits have some laws about "hate speech."
What are the odds they will ever use them in cases like this against Muslims?
Fundamental Islam has not been "HIJACKED" by violent madmen.. it IS A RELIGION OF HATRED AND SANCTIFIED VIOLENCE THAT REQUIRES,COMPELS,ENCOURAGES AND REWARDS HATRED AND VIOLENCE AGAINST ALL NON MUSLIMS PERIOD!!!!!
Why the wests media continue to LIE to the public on this is amazing.
Wahallahu [insert full-auto ("Islamic ejaculation") firing into air here] alaikam salaam! YES!
The Great Satan, led by the baby-eating criminal BusHitler, has victimized us by the devictimization of us! [Insert ululation here] At last, AmeriKKKa is beginning to understand!
Allahu Akbar, they will also, inshallah, pay for their intolerant forcing of tolerance upon us!
[insert more gunfire & ululating here] Jihad! Jihad! Jihad!
No, they are not. The school(s) may be inside the UK, but Saudi Arabia bought the land, and almost certainly has a GREEN ('religious') Islamic flag there on display, even if only indoors.
Under Islamic law, that makes it a part of Dar al Islam, ('the House of Islam') though not of Saudi per se; but Islamic soil none the less.
Now and forever, it 'belongs' to the Umma (world-wide body of Islamic believers), and is subject to rule by the Uleema (the Islamic religious authorities).
They MAY dissemble, and 'allow' the Brits to exert control over it for now; but, if, or when, they get strong enough, then they will make that doctrine perfectly clear to any infidel (take your pick: ape, pig, dog) less well armed than they are.
In their eyes, they have stolen that territory fair & square, in the name of their moon god, better known to us as Satan.
So will the academies of hate change? Will the ideology of hate, death to Jews and Christians become tolerant?
Of course not.
Good reason to make sure that NO MORE come into the USA!
