A measure of the sickness of mainstream Islamic culture can be had by examining what is taught in Islamic schools and what’s being taught is pretty appalling, with marital rape being taught as being socially and religiously acceptable. What is going on in these Islamic schools is not merely the teaching of religious parables or stories as scientific fact, which goes on in many religious schools not just Islamic ones, but a culture of violence, including violence against women. Although teaching children in religious schools that the world was created in six days or that transgenderism is a mental illness or which support traditional attitudes to marriage, may be problematic to some, they are not, as the Muslim schools are, promoting violence.

According to the Brietbart News website the Al-Hijrah School in Birmingham, which was one of the first state-funded Muslim schools in Britain, has been found to have books available to pupils that encouraged marital rape.

Brietbart said:

England’s first state-funded Muslim secondary schools – that segregated boys and girls and had books promoting domestic violence and marital rape – is to be taken over by the Government.

The Al-Hijrah School in Birmingham, which became state-funded in 2001, was put into special measures last summer after the pro-rape texts were found in the institution’s library and a child died from an allergic reaction.

In a report published in May, the inspector Ofsted also identified bullying, said the playground was chaotic, teaching was poor, pupils were not safe and some staff did not know what to do in medical emergencies. The school was given an “inadequate” judgment, the lowest ranking.

The damning report also criticised the school’s policy of segregating boys and girls, sparking a lengthy legal battle, which is still ongoing. The school attempted to suppress the report’s findings with funding from Birmingham city council.

The appeal court judges were asked last week to make a definitive ruling in the case. If Ofsted wins, up to 20 faith schools that teach boys and girls separately will be reinspected and may have to change their arrangements.

It’s not just the fact that male and female pupils are being educated separately and possibly inequitably that should concern the Department of Education, but what is being taught. There is the strong possibility that it is not just marital rape that is being promoted at Al Hijrah but also Islamic extremism and the validity and necessity of Jihad.

The fact that in some Jewish schools there is more Torah being taught than technology or in Christian schools traditional marriage is being promoted as an ideal, is not a significant problem for the wider society of the UK. However, on the other hand an Islamic school that promotes rape and possibly sedition and violence against non Muslims is a distinct problem for our nation and it is a problem that needs to be sorted out quickly. The Al Hijrah school is not an entity that should be treated with kid gloves or accorded respect or have it’s efforts to hide its misdemeanours funded by Birmingham council. This school should be closed down forthwith and put under secular control with no quarter given to the whines of local Muslims who kick up a fuss.
