UK: Muslim boys’ school bans women from applying for job as science teacher

Feb 28, 2014 11:32 am By Robert Spencer

pb-130402-palestinian-schools-jsa-3.photoblog900Either Britain is going to allow gender-based discrimination or it isn’t. At a certain point, British authorities are going to have to decide whether they’re going to stand for British values or continue to capitulate to Sharia. This ad has been taken down, but does that mean that suddenly Sharia’s institutionalized discrimination of women no longer exists? Of course not. And Muslims are at some point going to insist that they must continue that discrimination without interference from the British government, because it is part of their religion and culture, and for the British to forbid it would be “Islamophobic.” Then what will the dhimmi appeasers in the British government do?

“Muslim boys’ school bans women from applying for job as science teacher,” by John Bingham for the Telegraph, February 27:

A Muslim boys’ school is facing claims of segregation after advertising for a temporary science teacher but making clear that women need not apply.

The advert published by the outsourcing company Capita requested a “Male Science Teacher” to cover lessons, including some mathematics classes, until the end of the current academic year on a short term contract for up to £150 a day.

Secular campaigners said the advertisement was just the latest in a series of demands for religious customs and practices to be “accommodated” in the education system as a result of giving faith groups the power to run schools.

It follows a storm over allegations that non-Muslim female staff at the Al-Madinah free school in Derby had been forced to wear headscarves in line with strict Islamic practices.

There have also been concerns that girls at other Islamic schools are being required to wear full veils as well as questions over segregation in classes.

Capita argued that the exclusion of women could be legally justified but the advert was later withdrawn after a warning from the Department for Education over the need to comply with equality law….

The advert describes the school simply as an Islamic School for Boys in Leicester without specifying which school.

Capita refused to confirm the name of the school claiming it was to “protect their confidentiality”.

But it follows a similar advertisement placed by the Madani Boys School in Leicester last month for the post of “Male Technician” in the IT department.

Capita insisted that the male-only requirement was legal under the Equality Act, which allows employers an opt-out from sex discrimination rules in specific circumstances.

“These provisions are referred to as occupational requirements and they create exceptions that allow an employer to act in a way that would otherwise be discriminatory,” a spokeswoman said.

“Capita Education Resourcing is committed to equal opportunities both as an employer, and as an agency for the recruitment and placement of educational staff.”

But a spokeswoman for the Department for Education said: “Schools must comply with equality law.

“We asked Leicester City Council to raise this with the school and the advert has now been withdrawn.”…

    The struggle is for the English authorities, the Infidels, is how to permit Islam to flourish while keeping up the facade that principled Western values of justice and law are still in effect. Pulling this off is a tall order, but they’ll pull the trick off cuz otherwise the Moslems will be mad. And nobody wants that.

      No doubt we wont hear much from Warsi, although she might pop up again to tell us the “time is right for Islamic finance” and the UK should follow the example of the Muslim Brotherhood, Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) and increase Sharia compliant finance, “who have said that they intend to boost the Sharia-compliant share of banking assets from 7% to 35% within five years.”

    the British people need to wake up now. Before it’s too late. The Muslim people just want to take over. And they will do it once they have enough kids and become the majority of the population. So the women better enjoy walking around unveiled. And the population better enjoy their freedom while it lasts. The Muslims need to be deported NOW. Especially the ones that are our on the dole. They are using tax payer pounds to live on. While they are preaching hate.

    • voegelinian says

      Feb 28, 2014 at 6:15 pm

      The #1 impediment to the West waking up is our indulgence in artificial distinctions. There such distinctions predominate:

      1) between “extremist Islamism” and Islam

      2) between Islam and Muslims

      3) between dangerous Muslims and harmless Muslims.

      The West will not fully wake up until it stops making all three false distinctions.

  6. Henry says

    Feb 28, 2014 at 12:48 pm

    The Qur’an forbids Muslims to have any allegiances to non-Sharia states or non-Muslims. Muslims are commanded to work continually to impose Sharia on the world, they cannot be both ‘good’ Muslims and ‘good’ British or American citizens. Islam is hell bent on conquest, you simply cannot trust a Muslim.

        A couple of brave British MPs are attempting to present a Bill that would do just that.

        http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/462448/Tory-MP-Philip-Hollobone-urges-ban-of-full-face-Muslim-veils-in-public

        Tory MP Philip Hollobone urges ban of full-face Muslim veils in public

        Story is featured at New English Review:

        http://www.newenglishreview.org/blog_direct_link.cfm/blog_id/52087

        Saturday, 1 March 2014
        Tory MP Philip Hollobone urges ban of full-face Muslim veils in public

        (I supply this extra link just in case the newspaper link breaks in future).

        I would encourage every British person who posts or lurks here to write to Messrs Philip Hollobone and Philip Davies immediately, if you have not already done so, expressing your wholehearted support for this proposed Bill. If you are so very lucky as to reside within their electorates, organise to visit them *in person* and express your approval and support.

        Also, if you are *not* a constituent of either gentleman, write to your *own* MP, mention Mr Hollobone’s Bill, and state that you regard it as a necessary and desirable piece of legislation.

        The Bill will not be passed, not this time around, but if the pressure is kept up, then perhaps it will be presented *again*…by *more* MPs. And again and again and again, until it *does* get passed.

        And then *other* little impediments to Islamisation can be put forward, and bit by bit, the pushback can be achieved. Muslims have used the ‘ratchet’ method to great effect, so far; but I do not see any reason why it cannot be used *against* them.

    • Wellington says

      Feb 28, 2014 at 4:42 pm

      Oh, it’s ‘acomin’, defcon 4, if not already here as you already mentioned. Until Islam can take over a polity it is, in effect, a fifth column within that state, only the degree of fifth “columness” being a variable, which is itself largely based on what percentage of the population Muslims are at a given time in their dhimmi nation of choice (once they go over 10% the feces really begin to hit the fan). Of course, there are other factors, not the least being how much liberty already exists in a particular nation when Muslims begin to infiltrate. Muslims love free nations because it gives them so many more opportunities to spread their warped creed under the banner of religious freedom. Let’s face it, not too many Muslims are moving to China, now are they?

      Enjoy your comments. Look forward to more of them.

    School is out
    It is time to scream and shout
    to Allah (The Protector)

    They take their cue from the most noble Quran and from the birthplace of Islam Saudi Arabia.
    We should try to respect the sensitivities of a nation that is home to the most Holiest place in all of Islam.
    There is no more sacred place in Islam than Mecca.
    Allah is held in such high regard in Mecca that when a girls’ school caught on fire the rescue firemen shoved the young girls back into the flames to roast like crispy pig-pickins inside a blazing barbecue.

    School is out …It is time to scream and shout

    UK: Muslim boys’ school bans women from applying for job as science teacher

    Either Britain is going to allow gender-based discrimination or it isn’t. At a certain point, British authorities are going to have to decide whether they’re going to stand for British values or continue to capitulate to Sharia.
    …………………………………..

    Yes—and with the level of appeasement in the face of Muslim aggression in Britain today, I wouldn’t want to take bets on the outcome…

  18. Anushirvan says

    Mar 1, 2014 at 7:58 am

    Although this looks like gender discrimination on the surface, I’d rather emphasize the innate Islamic disavowal of all things scientific. What’s the point of trying to ram science down the gob of Muslims to start with ? If they really want to dumb down, I just say “Let them, no skin off my nose.”

    They’ll be equally keen to dismiss science altogether in the long run, whether the subject is treated by female or male teachers will turn academical in the end. Camel urine will solve all their problems, and if that’s what they want to believe, why not just keep them at this gobshite level of ill-conceived stupidity, if that’s really what they want ?

    Does our society really NEED to make these people think in a rational way ? Are we losing human capital if we DON’T try to make them see sense ? The answer to both questions is NO !!

  19. Johnny Canuck says

    Mar 1, 2014 at 7:33 pm

    Here’s a postulate: Muslims are bullies. Bullies understand and respect only one thing–violence. The best way to deal with bullies is to punch them in the nose.
    Why, therefore, do we continue to kowtow to bullies?
