“The Christian Institute has said Ofsted and the Department for Education are not taking proper action to deal with some Islamic schools accused of bullying Christian pupils.” What a surprise. All over the country, British authorities are cowering in fear, desperately afraid of being accused of “racism.”
“Muslim schools accused of anti-Christian chanting in assemblies,” by Antony Bushfield, Premier, July 30, 2015:
Some Muslim schools “include anti-Christian chanting in assemblies” which is being ignored by the schools watchdog, it has been claimed.
The Christian Institute has said Ofsted and the Department for Education are not taking proper action to deal with some Islamic schools accused of bullying Christian pupils.
In a letter to Nicky Morgan, the Education Secretary and a Christian, the Institute’s director Colin Hart said “inadequate attention” had been given to the way Christian pupils were being taught.
He said it was “striking” that several official reports outlining examples of Muslim “intolerance” to Christians had gone ignored by Ofsted.
“You will see they include anti-Christian chanting in assemblies, GCSE pupils who opted to learn Christianity being left to teach themselves, and Christians being called ‘ignorant’ or ‘liars’ by teachers,” he wrote.
It was “disturbing” that there had been a “complete lack of any specific plans of action to tackle anti-Christian intolerance”, he added.
Mr Hart also accused the school’s inspector of being part of the problem and said its methods for detecting bullying against Christians were “clearly inadequate”.
“Ofsted may be part of the problem”, he said.
“Whilst guidance from your department says there is no obligation on schools to promote gay marriage, there have been Ofsted inspections in several parts of the country where Ofsted inspectors have implied, via questioning of pupils, that they ought to accept gay marriage there have been Ofsted inspections in several parts of the country where Ofsted inspectors have implied, via questioning of pupils, that they ought to accept gay marriage.
“We are aware of several cases of this approach being taken with primary age pupils, some as young as six.”
In a statement, Ofsted said: “Ofsted deplores bullying in all its forms. We expect schools to promote British values including mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs….

Does anyone knows an example of this chants???

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Fatiha
“Sūrat al-Fātiḥah (Arabic: سورة الفاتحة) is the first chapter (Surah) of the Quran. Its seven verses (ayat) are a prayer for the guidance, lordship and mercy of the reciter’s God.”
http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Al-Fatiha
“Dr. Mark Durie, the author of The Third Choice: Islam, Dhimmitude and Freedom, comments:
“The best-known chapter of the Quran is al-Fatihah ‘The Opening’. This sura is recited as part of all the mandatory daily prayers – the salat –and repeated within each prayer. A faithful Muslim who said all their prayers would recite this sura at least SEVENTEEN TIMES A DAY, and OVER FIVE THOUSAND TIMES A YEAR.
. . .
“This is a prayer asking Allah’s help to lead the believer along the ‘straight path’. As such it is true to the heart of Islam’s message of guidance.
“But who are those who are said to have earned Allah’s wrath, or gone astray from the straight path? Who are these people who deserve to be stigmatized in every Muslim’s prayers, each day, hundreds of thousands of times in many Muslims’ lifetimes?
“Ibn Kathir’s commentary explains the meaning of this verse as follows:
“These two paths are the paths of the Christians and Jews, a fact that the believer should beware of so that he avoids them. … the Jews abandoned practicing the religion, while the Christians lost the true knowledge. This is why ‘anger’ descended upon the Jews, while being described as ‘led astray’ is more appropriate of the Christians. … We should also mention that both the Christians and the Jews have earned the anger and are led astray, but the anger is one of the attributes more particular of the Jews. Allah said about the Jews, ‘Those (Jews) who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath’ (Sura 5:60). The attribute that the Christians deserve most is that of being led astray, just as Allah said about them, ‘Who went astray before and who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the right path’ (Sura 5:77).”
That’s just for starters.
mortimer says
The fatiha is the ‘chant’.
It is a curse against Christians and Jews.
It is brainwashes every single Muslim to hate.

Angemon says
Islamic cultural enrichment – what a boon!
Salome says
So what are these Christians doing in Muslim schools in the first place? What academic excellence can there be among people who don’t believe the laws of physics or even basic cause and effect? And how is it that Christianity is being taught in them? Not that they should be teaching anti-Christian values in any event. But I don’t know why anyone other than Muslims would go to them.
Brian says
Most were once Christian schools but with mass immigration of Muslims, many now have vast Muslim majorities.
Western Canadian says
Don’t bet on these schools being muslim…. they might merely be schools invaded by, and colonized by muslims.
jayell says
Dead right, Western Canadian, that’s EXACTLY what they are. The whole ‘Trojan Horse’ business was about normal schools, owned by and paid for by the tax payer and expected to be run along proper British guidelines, being taken over by Muslims for their own purposes. As I understand it, there hade never been any authorisation for any of this, so of course it amounts to theft, which I suppose is the criminal norm for muslims. It seems that anyone who entertained the curious notion that these muslims would somehow show respect, co-operate and ‘fit in’ with the majority here must have been born on the planet Zog.
By the way, I noticed in Huck Folder’s post:-
“The best-known chapter of the Quran is al-Fatihah ‘The Opening’. This sura is recited as part of all the mandatory daily prayers – the salat –and repeated within each prayer. A faithful Muslim who said all their prayers would recite this sura at least SEVENTEEN TIMES A DAY, and OVER FIVE THOUSAND TIMES A YEAR.”
This is absolutely horrendous. It’s mindless brain-washing. No wonder they turn out like zombies. And, courtesy of Angemon:-
“You will see they include anti-Christian chanting in assemblies, GCSE pupils who opted to learn Christianity being left to teach themselves, and Christians being called ‘ignorant’ or ‘liars’ by teachers,”…….
We knew about the “GCSE pupils who opted to learn Christianity being left to teach themselves” bit from the national press, the rest was somehow left out??? This confirms everything I knew about the UK ‘free’ press. So who’s wielding the blue pencil? And as for “Christians being called ‘ignorant’ or ‘liars’ by teachers”, is this wliful delusion or outright lying? That little gem about ‘pots’ and ‘kettles’ comes to mind, but ‘pot’ and ‘sterilised flask’ would be more appropriate here, assuming our muslim friends actually understand the concept of ‘sterilisation’ judjing by their antics in the Health Service.
And while on the topic of muslims in schools, has Robert seen the latest item in the UK Telegraph about Ofsted (the UK schools inspection service) ignoring the bullying of Christians by muslims in schools? This has been going on for years, plus all the muslim proselytysing going on in the playgrounds (just like in the prisons)? We never hear about THAT (but we do hear about muslims whinging and bringing court cases/ industrial tribunals when they claim it happens the other way round!!).

A Muslim school as such does not allow non-Muslim pupils.. This is accepted as “part of their religion”
Only non-Muslim schools must allow Muslim pupils.

John spielman says
Bullying is the basis of Islamic supremacism, so why are we surprised that UK dhimmi bureaucrats ignore it
AnnaK says
Unless bullying is the other way around.
In such a case, children and teachers would be suspended and we would never hear the end if it.
Muslims know this , and it empowers them even more.

Jesus makes some incredible demands on His followers…..
“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” (Matthew 5:11-12)
“Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.
Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.” (Luke 6:22-23)
Yet persecution pails in comparison to what will soon come upon this earth….
“Even so you also, when you see these things happening, know that God’s Kingdom is near.
Most certainly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things are accomplished.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
“So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly. For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth. Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.” (Luke 21:31-36)
Burt says
These times are at hand. We are without any doubt living in the last days. Turn back. Regain meaningful lives. Jesus died on the cross for all. Be you separated from Him bc your parents are anti Christ, pagan, Muslim, atheist, or if you just don’t care about your life! Find the true path to civilization. Restore Christendom. We are living in the end times prophesied by John the Apostle. Convert to the true faith. Save your souls and the souls of your loved ones.

Christian nutter. Almost as bad as the Islamofascists.
Champ says
Christian nutter. Almost as bad as the Islamofascists.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Karl makes an incredibly ignorant and false comparison, since a devout Christian who’s sharing his/her faith in Jesus Christ, poses absolutely NO threat to anyone. Whereas a devout muslim may murder you in cold blood if you do not convert to islam.
Almost as bad? Not even a close call!

5 times a day Islamic prayers are mandating violence to the kuffar, and that includes Christians.

All over the country, British authorities are cowering in fear, desperately afraid of being accused of “racism.”
Yet another indication out of literally thousands in the past 15 years that I am correct about how the mainstream PC MC West racializes the problem of Islam. And yet Angemon sniped at me for daring to point it out, and asked what “proof” I had for my claim. It’s like Angemon works at a chalet smack dab in the Swiss Alps, and he looks out the window and says, “what mountains…?”

Lol! Muslim trolls and islamic apologists aside, you’re the most predictable poster on JW. I rightfully called you out on your grossly oversimplified one-note approach and you, as expected, go out of your way to shoehorn it in at every chance you have. Look again at what you call an “indication of you being correct”:
“British authorities are cowering in fear, desperately afraid of being accused of “racism.””
I said several times that the charge of “racism” is a handy tool muslims and islamic apologists use to silence criticism, which is exactly what’s being described in that. It’s not the same as what you’re claiming – that most Westerners are racists. You know this, I know that you know this, and you know that I know that you know this, and yet, you insist on playing these little silly, childish, games – presenting an adulterated version of what others say in order to bolster your stance: a textbook case of a strawman. You have a long history of doing so and you push people away when you act like a spoiled child – not just the people you hate and go out of your way to hostilize, but also the people who see you do so and decide they want nothing to do with you and your underhanded tactics.
Oh, and what I said somewhere else about you not speaking to others directly – which is what would be expected from anyone trying to engage in honest discussion – still stands:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/07/jihadi-john-flees-the-islamic-state/comment-page-1#comment-1274375
That’s actually part of a nice argument which I believe captures the quintessential voegelinian: slander your betters, no matter how crazy the charge, as long as it makes you look good.
Edward says
School yard banter by bullies has been disastrous as we have seen or read….serious consequences have resulted to the victims that have been abused.
Sadly, some victims have been known to commit self destruction.
However, the UK’s Muslim schools accused of anti-Christian chanting is bringing a different kind of abuse; that of a willful spiritual destruction level instead of the age old social banter that eventually harms the self esteem of many humans.
“Chants are used in a variety of settings, such as from ritual to recreational.” In the UK’s recent school dilemma is sure to bring monumental circumstances considering that the chants are connected to the religious leanings of the Muslim classmates.
Wikipedia has very little on this human psyche bending phenomena, but there is a wikipedia article that may shed some light into the practice @:

So ironic that Islam will be defeated in the big picture by their
intolerances towards LGBT and our human sympathies.
Kepha says
Anti-Christian chants? What is this, a meeting of leading Western literary, cultural, political, legal, and media figures? At least the Muslims are honest about where they stand.
Edward says
“At least the Muslims are honest about where they stand.”
Yeah, but what one wonders about them is their innate deceptive ways…..lying is part of their MO!
Honest?
No!
R Cole says
Funny how that word ‘ignorant’ keeps cropping up around Islam.
Remember when people used to say – we are not ‘ignorant’ of Islam – but they are.
The problem is in Islam – all non Muslims are called ‘ignorant’.
There are no greater and lesser degrees of ignorant – where some non-Muslims are viewed more favorably – from a Islamic religious standpoint.
If you are not a Muslim then you are ignorant – in Islam.
Bamboozled
The word ‘ignorant’ when used with Islam – should not be viewed in its western sense.
What is most interesting is how critics of Islam ended up being called this. When in truth the label is attached to all non-Muslims.

Railroaded
The whole argument around Islam – in based on supposed western intolerance towards it. [Nevermind that it was Muslim intolerance that got us here]. But the western intolerance idea is so entrenched – that blatant displays of Islamic intolerance towards others – is ignored or deliberately covered up. So much so that it is actually viewed as ‘intolerant’ to talk about Islamic intolerance.
Children chanting anti-western and anti-Christian slogans in the assembly demonstrates the level of confidence – in this regard. Anyone complaining about Muslim children being taught hate – becomes the hater, they become the racist, the xenophobe. Then the Muslim authority / spokespersons jump on board and feign fear of attack – almost as if they had to run through a hail of missiles to get to the television studio to do the interview.
All while they continue to teach the kids to hate.

Ditto
The same things are happening in Holland – in one Muslim school – the non-Muslim teachers [the one making the report was Leftist-socialist leaning] were made to eat their lunch in a separate room – apart from the Muslim staff who took their lunch in the main dining hall. Further – the students were told not to greet non-Muslims with the traditional Islamic greeting – because ‘non-Muslims will never know peace’ This school was subsidized by the Dutch state.
Linde Barrera says
It is evident to me that the UK school administrative authorities lack the guts to confront the teachers/staff in charge of these Muslim chants against Christians and make them understand that it will not be tolerated. This could be compared to being threatened with an “unsatisfactory” rating for not promoting harmony between students. Give Muslim teachers (or any other group of teachers) several “unsatisfactory” ratings, and you will see an improvement because their jobs would be on the line. As to telling 6 year olds or any student between 6 – 12 that they should accept gay marriage is poor pedagogical practice and is tantamount to abuse. I have to wonder where some of these teachers/administrators/staff got their licenses/certificates to work with children; a recycling paper factory perhaps?
Westman says
I could be wrong, however, it seems that if Christians are driven out and marginalized, the school staffed with Muslim teachers who call the remaining Christians liars, then the school becomes a UK funded Madrassa.
George S. says
If this report is to be taken with a grain of truth, then the blame lies directly with the teachers, the administration, and especially with Ofsted.
It seems to me that Ofsted are still afraid to confront schools, and the administrators of those schools, and the teachers in these schools because they are still so afraid of being called “racist”.
The Government, and the people who put them in over the last three decades, are solely to blame for this cancerous fear. They, with their silly, ill-conceived PC and MC policies are to blame for their inability to deal with this grave problem. And it is a cancerous problem. They, with their ill-conceived and ill-considered PC and MC laws have backed themselves into a corner out of which they now cannot exit… to do so would require them to confess to the publc that their MC and PC policies do NOT work. And is that going to happen? Not now.
Look at what England has become – a nation of cowering grey cowards who daren’t say “boo!” to anything for fear of being branded and arrested on trumped-up “racism” or “disturbing the peace” orders or charges. And the muzzies know this. They take advantage of these PC and MC laws to grind free speech and dignified discourse into the ground and leave it there as dust. Since when is islam a “race”? It is NOT. If someone says something insulting about Catholicism, it’s rude and it may be hurtful to some, but it certainly isn’t “racist”. Since when is Catholicism a race?
This is where the hated PC and MC rules show the sheer stupidity of those in authority. I bet the Monty Python crew are groaning in their teeth, because never would they be allowed to poke fun at any religion now, never (Song from Monty Python leads with “Never shake hands with an Arab…”!).
Actually, when I look at it, it is the Gowvernment’s fault totally that Ofsted now find themselves in this quagmire. Previous Governments have encouraged the foundation of so-called “Faith Schools”. And these schools have been given a free had to do what they want – there is no requirement for them to follow a national curriculum. or hire properly-trained and qualified teachers, there is no requirement for the schools to show how the large amounts of money they receive from public funds are being spent or even where the funds are being spent.
This is the crux of the problem. The Government have allowed so-called “Faith Schools” to ride rough-shod over what was once a secular concern. Religion should not enter into public schools in any way. Schools should be required to follow a strict curriculum without exception – a curriculum that allows art, music, dancing, field trips, history (without any proseletysing), geography, literature, science and everything else that is valued in the western world.
For this to happen, the Government should step in and abolish faith schools that receive public money and require them to become ordinary schools for British students. And religious education should be confined to churches, mosques, temples and so on – Not in schools.
In the picture with this post, why are those kids allowed to wear those symbols of subjugation on their heads? Islamic dress should be banned in schools, period. Either dress with the standard British school dress codes or leave the country if you don’t like it.
These abhorrent and stupid MC and PC laws have had another very dangerous side-effect upon education in the UK. It used to be that an English education was highly valued and a prized possession. Used to be that the UK generally ranked in the top three in the world. Not now. The 2014 OECD report Performance in Mathematics listed the UK as 26th in the world, behind Korea, Latvia, and Poland. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/leaguetables/10488555/OECD-education-report-subject-results-in-full.html). In Reading, the UK is listed as 23rd in the world; and in Science it is listed as 21st in the world, behind such countries as Poland, Estonia and Vietnam. This is what PC and MC have done to the UK education system – dragged it down into the mud where the sun sets.
Western Canadian says
Canada has had ‘faith’ schools since its inception. The now called ‘public’ schools were formerly acknowledged as Protestant, while the rest were acknowledged as Catholic. No real problems. Your bigotry against all faiths doesn’t hide well behind legitimate objections of islamic (RTC) indoctrination centers….

British Christian apes and pigs illegally squatting on and occupying Muslim Britianistan.

I hope you are kidding about this parody Charli Main……for words like your jest has a profound effect. For one, this comment emboldens those that depend on feedback of the things that manifest according to their maligned mindset. Second the ones that practice mind alteration are always seeking those that can channel their objectives to do ill. Let’s face it; the Middle Easterners who practice such mind control are winning this quasi-spiritual/psychological warfare. Evidence of this is obvious, just by the embolden actors like this jerk who is employed as an academic at Duke University and many other Islam’s adherents here lately!

I´m being serious. I´m envisioning the future fate of beloved Britannia unless non muslims get of their arses and end the relentless muslim invasion of Britain/ Europe. Muslims are doing in Britain what muslims have done for the last 1400 years in EVERY country they have infested. The land becomes THEIRS and the indigenous natives, squatters in THEIR OWN COUNTRIES.
Just like the Christians of the Middle East today.
Ponder this Edward—-HAY UNA TORMENTA QUE VIENE. ISLAM MUST BE TERMINATED.

Lioness says
“…promote British values” ? British values now equal Islamic values. Anti-Christian (and most likely anti-Jewish) chanting is part of the curriculum throughout UK, maybe not officially, but certainly is tolerated and permitted. Nothing will be done, they will continue to chant, because not allowing it will be Islamophobic, and the authorities are paralized in fear in case they offend their Muslim masters.
solange says
I am not falling for the idea, one which the authorities et al want you to believe, that they are afraid of being called racist. It is my feeling that they are pushing an agenda, just as they are here in the US and other countries. All that other rhetoric is just cover.
