UK Muslim school tries to explain away hateful Saudi textbooks

[1] LGF (thanks to Kamala) has video of the director of the King Fahad Academy spinning furiously to try to explain away [2] Saudi textbooks calling Jews and Christians "apes and pigs."
"They have to be read in Arabic to be understood properly." She would have us believe that Arabic is the only language in which there exist concepts that cannot be rendered in any other language. Then when the interviewer asks her how she would translate the passages if they were mistranslated, and she reverted to saying they were -- you guessed it -- "taken out of context."
She also refuses to withdraw the books from the school.
