More Saudi-Funded School Hatred

A former teacher at an Islamic school, who alleged that it taught an offensive and racist view of non-Muslims, has been awarded £70,000 by an employment tribunal after winning his case for unfair dismissal. The King Fahad Academy is funded and run by the Saudi Arabian Government.

Mr Cook told the hearing that after leaving the school another member of staff gave him extracts from an Arabic textbook, which encouraged students to believe that all religions other than Islam were worthless. This is probably drawn from the traditional Islamic theological concept of jahiliyya, the "pre-Islamic period of ignorance", which denigrates all non-Islamic cultures and achievements as ultimately worthless.

The books referred to “the repugnant characteristics of the Jews”. This is similar to the anti-Semitic writings that are prevalent among scholars in the Islamic world, such as "The Jews' Twenty Bad Traits as Described in the Qur'an" by Sheik 'Attiyah Saqr. Similar things were written by the grand imam of Al-Azhar University, Muhammad Sayyid Tantawi, the nearest Muslim equivalent to the Pope, in a lengthy treatise he wrote back in the 60s. Here's an extract:

"[The] Qur’an describes the Jews with their own particular degenerate characteristics, i.e. killing the prophets of Allah, corrupting His words by putting them in the wrong places, consuming the people’s wealth frivolously, refusal to distance themselves from the evil they do, and other ugly characteristics caused by their deep-rooted lasciviousness…only a minority of the Jews keep their word….[A]ll Jews are not the same. The good ones become Muslims, the bad ones do not. (Qur’an 3:113)"

And so on.

Another passage in one of the text books at the school said: “Those whom God has cursed and with whom he is angry, he has turned into monkeys and pigs. They worship Satan.” This is based on three Qur'an passages - 2:63-66, 5:59-60 and 7:166 - which do indeed depict Allah as transforming mischievous Jews into apes and swine. And of course, if you've seen Fitna you'll remember the scene in which the three-and-a-half year old girl invokes these passages live on Egyptian TV.

And so on.

It is not surprising to see such anti-infidel and anti-Semitic hatred being taught at a Saudi-funded school - which makes you wonder why British authorities aren't doing anything to stamp this kind of thing out.

Oh yeah, I remember why: "racism"...

It's good to see that it was a Muslim who exposed this hatred. Mr. Cook went on to say, "Islam teaches peace and honesty." You may believe that, Mr. Cook, but unfortunately the Saudis and their numerous jihadist spawn don't. So I hope you, as a peaceful Muslim, will continue to expose their hatred and work towards defeating their ideology and teach "peaceful Islam" to your students. You've already taken one important step in doing that; and I hope you take many more. For all our sakes, and for the sakes of young British Muslims.
