The education of radicals

A Prestigious Islamic school in London was forced to shred 2,000 textbooks it used to poison pupils' minds with lessons of hate, a former teacher claimed yesterday. Colin Cook, who taught English at the King Fahad Academy for 18 years, testified before a tribunal, and called a British Government report on the Islamic Academy ‘incompetent’. That report judged the Academy’s teaching of Islamic studies 'mostly good

• Pupils as young as five were being taught by rote from Arabic textbooks describing Jews as 'monkeys' and Christians as 'pigs'.
• Mr. Cook said that when he exposed the racist teaching, the school's head Dr Sumaya Alyusuf lied on television, insisting that hateful passages had never been taught
• Under public pressure the Academy eventually agreed to destroy 2,000 books, but photocopied them first for future use, Cook told the tribunal.
• The school, located in Acton, West London, opened in 1985 for the children of Saudi diplomats and is funded and controlled by the Saudi government.
• Its 1,250 pupils have included the five children of jailed claw-handed cleric Abu Hamza and those of Abu Qatada, who was said to be Osama Bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe.
• Mr. Cook, 58, said that when he queried how the preachers could be paying school fees when they were said to be on state benefits, he was told to mind his own business
• Giving evidence to the hearing in Watford, Mr. Cook claimed the school was seen as an extension of the Saudi Embassy rather than part of the UK, with Saudi teachers even enjoying diplomatic immunity.
• He said some pupils made 'inappropriate' remarks about killing Americans and praised the 9/11 attacks.
• 'When I heard such nonsense I challenged and tried to reason it though with the pupils,' he added.
• He said that misbehavior by Saudi pupils was sometimes overlooked.
• A school trip to Arsenal Football Club's museum in December 2005 ended in chaos when some King Fahad pupils chanted 'Saudi, Saudi, Saudi' and fought with non-Saudi pupils, Mr. Cook told the hearing.
• 'Apparently we were the first school ever to be thrown out of the museum, which was humiliating.
• None of the Saudi pupils was challenged over their behavior by school officials.
• Mr. Cook, of Feltham, South London, is claiming unfair dismissal, race discrimination and victimization, which the school denies.
• After Mr. Cook's allegations in February last year, Dr Alyusuf went on BBC2's Newsnight and told presenter Jeremy Paxman that she was aware of the books but refused to withdraw them because they had 'good chapters that can be used by the teachers'.
• Mr. Cook told the hearing: 'Dr Alyusuf simply lied about her knowledge of the contents of the books and tried to pretend that the books were not taught in the school. She failed to repudiate the racist views expressed in the books.
• 'The truth is she cannot go against the Saudi ministry of education. She is their puppet.'

Our Take

The problems of radical Islam come from and need to be solved at the educational level. Otherwise, we in the West will always be dealing with terrorism. The hate-filled educational system of the radical Islamists is the well spring of terrorism.
