“Inspiring the girls of today to become our leaders of the future” — that is, the Sharia-bound hijabis of the future Sharia Britain. No doubt while this was going on, British authorities made obsequious overtures to Mohiuddin International Girls College officials, anxious to win their support and approval.
“Vice principal of ‘Muslim Eton’ sacked and told she would go to hell for opposing rules to make all girls wear veils during lessons, tribunal hears,” by Gemma Mullin, Daily Mail, November 7, 2014 (thanks to Mick):
The vice principal of a Muslim girls’ college was sacked and told she would ‘go to hell’ after she opposed rules which tell all pupils to wear veils during lessons, a tribunal heard.
Ghazala Khan, 37, also claims she was called a ‘stupid outsider’ by her boss and barred from certain assemblies at Mohiuddin International Girls College in Burnley, Lancashire.
She told an employment tribunal in Manchester today that she was ostracised because she didn’t belong to the same sect within Islam as most of the staff.
The mother-of-one from London was sacked less than a year in to the post after she questioned why some teachers would refuse to teach girls unless they wore veils across their face, it was alleged.
She claimed the wearing of a veil was not instructed anywhere in the Qur’an, but says she was told she knew nothing about her own religion.
“And tell the believing women to reduce [some] of their vision and guard their private parts and not expose their adornment except that which [necessarily] appears thereof and to wrap [a portion of] their headcovers over their chests and not expose their adornment except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, their brothers’ sons, their sisters’ sons, their women, that which their right hands possess, or those male attendants having no physical desire, or children who are not yet aware of the private aspects of women. And let them not stamp their feet to make known what they conceal of their adornment. And turn to Allah in repentance, all of you, O believers, that you might succeed.” (Qur’an 24:31)
Her employment ended in May 2012 during a ‘heated’ meeting with college principal Mohammed Amjad Bashir and Zahir Ahmed, a director of the Birmingham-based Mohuiddin Trust which runs the college.
The private establishment for girls over 16 was founded in October 2010 and was described as the ‘Muslim Eton’ for girls when plans were originally put forward for the school the year before.
The college, whose motto is ‘Inspiring the girls of today to become our leaders of the future’, charges £5,500 a year for international students and £4,500 for UK and European enrolments.
Mrs Khan was appointed as vice principal in 2011 but she said she clashed with the college principal after saying she and some students had some Islamic teachings they disagreed with forced upon them.
She said one fellow teacher refused to speak to her, as she did not wear a veil, and she had challenged the same tutor after he ordered all his female students to wear the niqab in his lessons.
Mrs Khan also said the college principal have warned of the school being ‘polluted’ because she had ‘let a Christian in’.
Speaking about the teacher’s conduct, she said: ‘There were quite a few times I didn’t agree with the way he would make children wear veils across their faces just so he could teach them.
Mohiuddin International Girls College, which opened its doors in October 2010, describes itself as a ‘unique and friendly institution’.
It was set up by the Mohiuddin Trust – a charity which aims to help those who are poor or under-privileged – under the leadership of Sheikh Hazrat Pir Alaudin Siddiqui Sahib, an Islamic scholar based in Pakistan.
When plans for the college for girls over 16, it described itself as the ‘Muslim Eton’.
It said it’s aim is to ‘educate and empower women regardless of their age, colour, creed or social stature.’…
shabeer_hassan says
33: 33. And stay in your houses, and do not display yourselves like that of the times of ignorance, and perform As-Salât (IqamâtasSalât), and give Zakât and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah wishes only to remove ArRijs (evil deeds and sins, etc.) from you, O members of the family (of the Prophet SAW), and to purify you with a thorough purification.
33: 59. O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks (veils) all over their bodies (i.e.screen themselves completely except the eyes or one eye to see the way). That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is Ever OftForgiving, Most Merciful.
The real objective of asking the woman to adopt a decent mode
of dressing becomes quite clear from these verses.
One: That they may be recognized.
Two: That they be not molested.
The ideal woman as envisioned by Islam is modest and pious;
chaste and virtuous – she is never approached by sex starved wolves;
is not advanced upon by any with pleas for sexual gratification. This
must all be discernible from her dressing itself. That prostitutes were
to sit by windows with their breasts uncovered was a prescription in
the legal code of fifteenth century Venice. It was indeed, a prescription
for judging the quality of the available goods for those sex starved
persons who came to satisfy their craving! How strange, indeed, it is
that modern day women should have as their attire those that resemble
the ones used by the prostitutes of yesteryear to attract the possible
users of their bodies. The Qur’an, however, recommends that
believing women and those who sell their bodies must be clearly distinguishable
from each other and that, too, by the clothes that they
wear.
Women have, in all ages, constituted a group, which has been
never allowed any peace. Indeed, the great literary and cultural figures
of every age have been men who tended to fight over the flesh
and chastity of women. If yesterday the honour of women was torn
apart through nude dances and poetry that depicted and glorified nudity,
today it is being practiced right within the corridors of the family
setting through the ‘idiot boxes’ and the Internet. The whole life of
modern man has become sexually oriented. Things have come to such
a pass that from the choice of the coffee that one drinks early in the
morning to the pillow that one uses to sleep late in the night there is
no escape from casting a glance, howsoever, cursory, on the feminine
curves exploited inorder to sell the product.
It has also been for the very same reason that molestation of
women has steadily been on the increase. Indeed, fathers who sexually
harass their own daughters and mothers who involve in sexual
relations with the sons to whom they have themselves given birth are,
fast becoming characters who hardly raise a ripple in the normal functioning
of our intellect.

1. how do you recognize someone who is completely covered??? This is sick and insane. As a teacher you would want to make eye contact, see expressions to gauge if students have understood. This is not possible with those veils over the face.
2. Wearing those niqabs, veils or whatever is not modest.
3. The best solution is to put on the purity of the heart. Let your heart be pure. Free from evil. The heart is where you have thoughts conceived. Wickedness arises from the heart. { King James Bible
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23}
Let me tell you what Jesus The Christ said: What Defiles a Man
Mathew 15 and also
(Mark 7:14-23)
10And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
12Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
15Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? 17Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
That is my Savior Jesus Christ Teachings. So wise, caring, and full of love for all the time.
Come to Jesus and he will set you free from all these rituals, hate, murder and violence. Jesus is the only one who gives real life and freedom.

Mrs Khan is for modest dressing but is right in objecting to extreme ways with girls covered in blankets with two holes for the eyes. She belongs to those muslims who reinterprete the Koran to make Islam more relevant to modern times that will enable muslims to integrate in society more easily. Now my comments will surely bring in objections from non Muslims ‘experts’ in Islam that insist Islam can only be interpreted in one way, ie the IS or Taliban way.
Even conservative christians will agree in some modest dressing. Yet what is ‘modest’ is quite subjective. It is not about how short is short or how low is low, it is about asking oneself – does it glorify The Lord. Are we who are redeemed by the blood of Christ not beautiful enough that we need to copy the world in discarding modesty to show forth our ‘beauty’ and cause the weak to stumble. What gain is it to us and how does that glorify God. Or is it as long as it is not my daughter ?
albert says
If Islam holds women in such regard why are the vast majority of men in RAPE gangs practising muslims. As one of the Rochdale predators father said on tv “my son is a good muslim, she led him on” the “she” he spoke of was a twelve year old girl. Doesn’t seem like much respect for females to me.
mortimer says
Agreeing with Hassan.
‘Molested’ is a euphemism for ‘rape’, but WHO IS DOING THE RAPING in this verse.
It is apparent that Allah gives MUSLIM males his PERMISSION to rape KAFIR women, so it is important that MUSLIM women be IDENTIFIED and not mistaken for a ‘slave’ or ‘prostitute’ and therefore RAPED ‘by sex starved wolves’ i.e. JIHADISTS.
Far from being admirable, Hassan, this verse shows Muslims are the ‘sex starved wolves’ and rapists.
PatnCats says
Well said! I agree. I call those black gag bags covering mohammadan women pure barbaric. Yes, the ‘males’ for they are not men – just male – who rape and attack European uncovered women need to have a bit of discipline by European men (are there any besides the EDL??) I think having Permits to Carry Concealed Weapons would eliminate many of these rapes by mohammadan males (i.e. the barbarians from the 7th century). Thank YHWH that I live in the USA and own the GREAT EQUALIZER.
Oh, I read a great book by F.W. Burleigh, “It’s All About Mohammed; the World’s Most Notorious Prophet.” Well done and using islamic sources against themselves to show the insane founder for what he truly is – a psychopath epileptic mass murderer.
Keith says
Rape is a horrific act. I can’t understand how rape can be supported by a religion. If it is acceptable to the Muslim religion to rape a non Muslim, then it should be acceptable for a non Muslim to rape a Muslim woman. Thus all the Muslim women should be raped, then their Muslim men will be required to kill them. This bringing and end to Muslims.
How would the Muslims feel about their women being raped. They should learn rape is not acceptable.
Rape is unacceptable under our societies laws and if Muslims can’t respect that. Move to a country where it is acceptable.
Don’t try to change a society that respect peoples rights and freedoms. Move to a society where be heading and stoning are acceptable for such crimes
Champ says
“shabeer_hassan” is undoubtedly a muslim male, and notice that he makes NO mention of how muslim men ought to control their own lust …that’s because muslim men have a double standard and place the burden squarely on the women’s shoulders, and then give themselves *free rein* to satisfy their sinful, sexual desires, and to do as they please with women to their evil hearts content–even to the point that muslim men have concocted the false idea of paradise as being some sort of grotesque ‘sex heaven’. Wow whatta lie. And of course all of this sinful behavior is allah (satan) approved.
Juxtapose this wrongheaded islamic view with what Jesus said …
“But I say, anyone who even looks at a woman with lust in his eye has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” — Matthew 5:28
Question: “What is lust? What does the Bible have to say about lust?”

That is why we should support Mrs Khan and the like for their more ‘reformed’ version of Islam instead of insisting there is only one way to interprete the Koran ie the IS or Taliban way.
forthfaran says
Christian and Jewish women are also encouraged to be modest in dress and manners but, unlike Islam,Christianity is not about compulsion and certainly does not regard the female form as sinful. Most women do not dress to extremes and it is for a man to exercise self control regarding sex; because a women might be considered to be provocatively dressed is not a reason for a man to pester her for sex. Strange that, in Islam, all the responsibility for sexual restraint is placed upon women;men can have four wives,unlimited sex slaves,demand sex from wives whenever the mood strikes them and,most shameful, can practice “mut’a”.This involves taking a temporary “wife” for as little as one hour,in exchange for money.If this is not prostitution it’s a good imitation. Yet women can do none of these things.What bare-faced hypocrisy;and you have the brass neck to lecture others on how corrupt their society is. Women are not the possessions of men and are free to live there lives as they see fit within the law.That includes dressing how they please. The vast majority of women do not flaunt their bodies. But the way Islamic women ,in many cases ,are trussed up and shrouded is an insult to them,the men who they meet on the street and common decency and common sense.
Ha Meshuga says
An interesting question or task would be to see which of these religions consider woman to be important, respected human beings etc… who are these women in islamic history? I k now they exist in Christianity and Judaism………
There is a simply reason why women in islam have to hide themselves and it has nothing to do with Jews or Christians….its to do with their own families and male co-religionists……
PatnCats says
Applause for you! We women in the USA are free and independent and the thought of being covered by a black gag bag is an abomination – a barbaric abomination. To copy the 7th century psychopathic founder Moham of islam and his notion to cover women against their will – and enforce it by beating them – is insane. Moham didnt’ want other men to LOOK AT HIS WIVES AND HIS SEX SLAVES AND COVET THEM – and including the women he used as his sex slaves that he’d forced himself on – rape – so that is why the mohammadans males want to cover women. DON’T LOOK AT MY MY MY MY WOMEN! Has nothing to do with dressing. Most of us here in the USA don’t dress like the people on our tv channels, that is tv and women are paid well to show off. I have no problem with that as they are not forced or beaten. I live in a college town and except for joggers, most young men and women look nice and dress well. We are all decent people here. For some reason Mohammadans get this crazed idea that males should RAPE and ATTACK young women and girls to ‘teach’ them to comply with isalm (i.e. by force – rape – and use this terror tactic to force others to cover themselves to the Moham standard of barbarity of the 7th century desert tribe as prescribed by Psychopath Moham.)

Daphne Donges says
OF course they will not be ‘molested by sex starved men’ . Unfortunately in Egypt 95% of females Muslim and others have been ‘molested by sex starved men’. How many 3 yr olds, and 5 year old have been raped, even gang raped in Saudi Arabia? Where clerics have even advised ‘pretty males’ to wear face covering so that they will not ‘tempt’ males that have no self control.
Islam does not preach self control of males. It is always the females fault if she gets raped, no matter how much covering she has. Then even after the trauma of being raped she can get stoned to death for ‘adultery’…so says the ‘merciful allah’
No Fear says
Mohammed (the “excellent example for man” according to his very own book) had 13 wives, married his own cousin, stole his son’s wife then invented a Quran verse to justify his action, encouraged his soldiers to rape the wives of the men they killed in battle, dressed in Aisha’s clothing (see the Hadith), killed a woman poet, beheaded 600 jews…..and we are expected to believe him and his stinking Quran?
Are you f***ing kidding me?
Laura says
But men can strip to the waist in warm conditions, yet women must be covered in even the hottest weather. I have a simple question, ‘is that fair?’
BC says
The sex staved wolves are actually Muslim men who because natural relationships between the sexes are denied to them by religious rules, are unable to form normal relationship[s with women. Look at the ‘respect’ IS is showing to women in their ‘caliphate’ for example. The sickness at the heart of Islam is sexual repression and the treatment of women as second to men and that their main function is to serve men. that is why the ’72 virgins’ are so appealing to Muslim ‘warriors’ aka. jihadis. They are in fact obsessed with sex because they are denied throughout their lives, unless they marry. In which context note also the heinous practice of ‘temporary marriage’ in order for them to have sex with a woman outside marriage, which has in fact been carried out in Iran before jailers rape their prisoners. Hypocrisy doe not begin to describe the attitude of Muslims to women.
E. Alexandra Pierce says
“The ideal woman as envisioned by Islam is modest and pious;
chaste and virtuous.”
What a paltry vision. All it means is that women are to make themselves inconspicuous, deny themselves their own sexuality – an integral part of being a healthy, fulfilled human being – and give authority over their lives to males, especially when it comes to the most important things, like marriage. It’s the very heart of misogyny.
It also sells men short, as if they’re mindless cretins who absolutely can’t control themselves in the presence of a woman’s bare shoulder. “sex-starved wolves,” you say. How unintentionally revealing. Now, why would they be sex-starved? Could it be that they live in a society which is largely devoid of healthy male/female interaction? That the opposite sex is so shrouded and removed that they have little idea of how to deal with their own sexuality? A polygamist society in which alpha males take on wife after wife, leaving many men without?
Don’t you dare claim that Islam isn’t misogynistic. Forget hijabs, niqabs, burqas, and the skull-cracked notion that being a quiet little mouse is the pinnacle of femininity. How about the fact that a woman’s testimony is worth half of a man’s? That daughters must inherit less? That there must be four male witnesses to a rape willing to testify to it, and if there isn’t, the raped woman is to be punished as an adulterer (i.e. stoned to death)? Or how about the sheer insanity in believing that adultery is anyone’s business but the people actually involved, let alone a matter for courts, with capital punishment attached?
Islam is insane.
Denis MacEoin says
Dear Shabir, I suggest you buy and read Ab delwahab Bouhdiba’s now classic text ‘Sexuality in Islam’ to gain a better understanding of the relationship between sexual desire and the sacred in the Islamic faith, both conceptually and in practice. It is Islam that is the more sexually obssesed religion. It has created polygamy for men, the use of concubines (i.e. sex slaves for the sole purpose of giving men sexual pleasure), misyar and mut’a marriage, easy divorce, halala, and the general degradation of women. Your thoughts of purity, modesty and piety bear no resemblance to the Islamic reality, which provides so m,any outlets for male sexuality, even in the next world, where orgasms last 400 years (or 24 years, depending on who you read) and a man can have 72 or more virgins to deflower as often as he likes). Islam is a deeply sensual religion but, as Bouhdiba argues, that is not a bad thing. Veiling and keeping women confined in their homes are a total breach of real Islamic ethics. Sacking this woman for trying to give the girls under her charge is shameful in the extreme. It is only the most indecent men who try to control women in this way, and the very idea of young girls being forced into the niqab and learning how to avoid successful lives in Britain, is utterly repugnant. Idealize Islam all you like, but it is now deeply backward, stifling, and unreformed religion that keeps millions of Mulims back from living fruitful, positive, and fulfilling lives. If you don’t know that, God help you.
Mark says
It has been proven time and again for decades that no matter how a woman is dressed, she may become molested. In other words, just because her face is uncovered, or her wrists, or ankles, she is not a prostitute, or “asking for it”. Rape is an act of violent domination carried out in a sexual manner. It seems to me that it is the muslim male that becomes a “sex starved wolf” if he sees a muslim woman not dressing “properly”. Males in Western society don’t molest women because of how they dress. Any man that molests any woman for any reasonshould be severely ostracized and prosecuted. Including the muslim men who marry 14 yr old CHILDREN.

muslims and “Think” just check the number of Nobel prizes awarded to muslim engineers, authors, scientists, doctors etc then compare that to the number of Nobel prizes awarded to non-muslim scientists, engineers, doctors, authors etc and you will quickly realise that muslims are incapable of thinking beyond that that is required to further the cause of the islamic 1000 year Reich

What must infuriate them is that the Jews have had more than 20% of Nobel prizes and they are only 0.2% of the world’s population;only a mere handful are Muslim.

Watcher says
Women get raped in Islamic countries even if they are invisible under a kilo or two of fabric. The flimsiest of excuses exonerate the rapist/s. Eg didn’t have a male escort, even if she was not ” flaunting” herself.
Women in the west do get raped. There are men in every society who have power or perverse sexual issues. They represent a tiny fraction of male society.
Its so uncommon, that when it happens, it makes the news.
The vast majority of men in the west are NOT moved to rape or even aroused by seeing faces, limbs and torsos of women.
Is it possible that a combination of being unable to meaningfully personally and subtly relate to ones mother and unidentifiable in face covering , only communication being muffled words through fabric Touch if you’re lucky, seeing mother beaten with a stick if she even seemed as though she was going to offend or deny father obedience, the preposterous ego sexual centric reward of perpetual virgins in paradise.
Its a system predictable to screw up a boys sexuality and ability to see any female as a person with feelings and right to dignity and choice.
