The UK is Screwed: In Order to Not Offend Muslims, British Schools Drop Holocaust from History
clash daily ^ | 6/4/13 | staff

A report by Britain’s Department for Education and Skills notes that an increasing number of schools are dropping the teaching of the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim students. The report, titled Teaching Emotive and Controversial History, also observes that many teachers are reluctant to discuss the Crusades because the lessons frequently contradict what is taught in local mosques.

It gets worse. The website Family Security Matters (h/t Weasel Zippers) reports:

In an effort to counter ‘Islamophobia’ in British schools, teachers now are required to teach ‘key Muslim contributions such as Algebra and the number zero’ in math and science courses, even though the concept of zero originated in India.

To not offend Muslims all Jews should be kicked out of the nation of sent to extermination camps. This could be next. Next crosses will be banned and all Christian Churches closed. Now far do you want this to go?

1,300 year old mentalities in the 21st century.

How anyone thinks they will ever “co-exist” is astounding.

It’s the sequel to Lawrence of Arabia, where he continues his transformation. Soon, he’ll be indistinguishable in every way.

If the Brits manage to elect UKIP to power, then I can PROMISE YOU that the Holocaust will be taught again - for history is history, even if offends some people.

Also, maybe England can learn a thing or two from Germany, where they have NEVER HESITATED to teach the evils of their Nazi past, and they were teaching it to the kids and grandkids of the people that were gassing the Jews. But they still did it, and did not give a crap if it offended anyone in the process.

>> key Muslim contributions such as Algebra and the number zero

What a load of crap. Muslims didn’t contribute jack to mathematics other than the translations into Arabic of the works salvaged from Alexandria. Algebra was used extensively in commerce prior to the birth of Christianity, and it was the Hindus that “discovered” zero.

key muslim contributions?

ROFL

like what? more efficient head cutting off?

Muslim NEVER contributed ANYTHING to the world, sometimes the cultured they concurred continued to thrive for awhile before they were destroyed by these backwards sociopaths, but eventually manage to destroy even the most advanced civilizations they assimilate.

The UK’s also advising children to give their lunch money to school bullies. Officials have assured kids it’s the right way to make bullies into nice people.

Moral of the story: politicians and administrators will cower to you if you riot, blow things up, and cut peoples heads off.

Credit should be given to the Arabs, however, for salvaging and publishing works that might have otherwise been lost. This effort was long underway prior to the insurrection of Islam. Unfortunately, the Arab cultural interest in the field of sciences did not survive the impact of Islam and the Crusades.

In Germany it's a *crime* to state that you don't believe that the holocaust occurred.I think it's stupid to believe it didn't *and* stupid to make such a declaration a crime.And yet in Britain they're not even mentioning it to schoolchildren.

OK,moslems...how about this? Let's talk about the Armenian genocide!

They dropped... not the Crusades... but the HOLOCAUST... in which no Muslim participated (unless they happened to be an occasional hapless non Aryan victim)...????

Because it showed that yes, the world can be pretty awfully cruel to Jews under certain circumstances...????

DEAR GREAT BRITAIN YOU HAVE GONE FLIPPING BLEEPING MAD!

...even though the concept of zero originated in India.

In the film "Stand And Deliver" (a truly outstanding film,IMO) the calculus teacher,Jaime Escalante,said at one point that it was the Mayans who originated "zero".Of course a Hollywood film...even one based on a true story...can't be considered authoritative.

The Holocaust is not the only event that must be dropped in obedience to Islam. No fact-founded history lesson is acceptable to Islam. The rest of history and chronology items must be dropped. If necessary, one by one.
