BBC's Panorama Claims Islamic Schools Teach Antisemitism and Homophobia
The Guardian ^ | November 22, 2010 | Haroon Siddique

Posted on 11/22/2010 2:06:44 AM PST by lbryce

Children in Islamic schools are being taught antisemitic and homophobic views from textbooks, the BBC's Panorama will claim tonight.

A textbook used in some weekend schools reportedly asks children to list the "reprehensible" qualities of Jews, according to the programme.

It claims to have found 5,000 Muslim schoolchildren being taught that some Jews are transformed into pigs and apes and that the penalty for gay sex is execution. Some textbooks are said to teach the correct way to chop off the hands and feet of thieves. A spokesman for the programme said the pupils, aged six to 18, attend a network of more than 40 weekend schools across the country which teach the Saudi national curriculum to Muslim children.

One book for children as young as six is said to ask them what happens to someone who dies who is not a believer in Islam – the correct answer is "hellfire".

Investigators claim to have also found a text for pupils aged 15 which reads: "For thieves their hands will be cut off for a first offence, and their foot for a subsequent offence."

British Schools Muslim Rules, which will be aired tonight on BBC One at 8.30pm, says other texts for the pupils are said to claim that Zionists want to establish world domination for Jews, a spokesman said.

Michael Gove, the education secretary, told Panorama: "Saudi Arabia is a sovereign country. I have no desire or wish to intervene in the decisions that the Saudi government makes in its own education system. But I'm clear that we cannot have antisemitic material of any kind being used in English schools."

Your joke is not very far from the truth. The first video discusses the proper etiquette for wife beating according to Islam. The second link is a YouTube search for "Islam-Wife Beating" that provides hundreds of videos on How-to's on proper protocols for wife-beating in Islam, so it wouldn't be out of the question for male students at the school, throughout Islam for that matter being indoctrinated to the finer points of the Religion of Peace.

I don't think you understand the power of the word DIVERSITY in the liberal brain.

It is more than a god to those people... it's like a combination, god, food, air and sex.

They can't LIVE without worshiping at the altar of DIVERSITY.

It trumps all their other "beliefs", such as "women's rights" (which they, in fact, don't give a fart about), "gay rights" (which they sort of care about but not at the expense of DIVERSITY) and "free speech" (which they actually hate, though they claim to love).

Oh, and I forgot to mention. The liberal brain HATES all Jews... even those liberal “brains” planted inside nominally Jewish skulls.

The pseudo-intellectual progressives and garden variety moonbats are simply cowards. They will only stand against those that will not do them violence.

Ain’t it the truth. The most emphatic manifestation of the rabid hatred you mentioned occurring during the Anti-Iraq War Rallies where the entire spectrum of liberal, left-wing moonbats came out of the woodwork to protest against the war, including of course, liberal, left-wing Jews, during which ranting diatribes against Israel by the left happening all too frequently.

That this is being taught in Islamic schools does not surprise me in the least. That the BBC actually did a special on this just amazes me. I would have expected them to glorify these schools instead.

They teach hate for Christians and Jews. Anyone who goes to one of these schools should not be allowed in any civilized country.

“Antisemitism and Homophobia”

are fundamentally disequal words. They do not deserve to be put together.

1) you are anti jews.

2) you ‘fear homosexuals because you secretly fear that you are one’.

To recap:

1) serious issue.

2) give me a break.
