UK: “Little improvement” 2 years after “Trojan Horse” Islamic plot to take over secular schools

Jul 9, 2016 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Birmingham’s political leaders, in my opinion, have consistently shown themselves to be incapable of delivering the urgent and sustained change required to improve the safety and well-being of the city’s vulnerable children.” Of course. They’re incapable of delivering this change because to do so would be “Islamophobic,” and in today’s shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britannia, that could mean the end of their political careers.

And if the overwhelming majority of parents really opposes the Islamization of secular schools, why can’t they stop this minority from doing its mischief?

Park-View-School

“‘Little Improvement’ Two Years After Trojan Horse Islamist Plot,” by Nick Hallett, Breitbart, July 8, 2016:

Two years after hard-line Muslims were discovered trying to take over schools in the city of Birmingham in a so-called ‘Trojan Horse’ plot, children in the city are not being kept safe, the chief inspector of schools has said.

In a letter addressed to Education Secretary Nicky Morgan, Sir Michael Wilshaw, who chairs school inspection group Ofsted, says he still has concerns about the city’s ability to ensure the safety of its children.

Birmingham was the focus of the so-called “Trojan Horse” scandal in 2014, in which a group of fundamentalist Muslims allegedly tried to take over a number of secular state schools and impose Islamic law on the staff and students.

The claims led to a series of investigations and school inspections.

In his letter, reported in the Telegraph, Sir Michael writes that inspectors visited 21 schools, and says the local council had failed to help schools combat radicalism.

“The schools that were placed in special measures as a result of Ofsted’s findings have undergone changes of leadership and governance in the intervening period and are now generally improving,” Sir Michael said.

“Two of the schools at the centre of the so-called ‘Trojan Horse’ episode have been upgraded from inadequate to good in their recent re-inspections.”

He says he has continued to visit the city, meeting with various officials:

“As a result of these discussions, I am quite clear that, although many of these schools have improved and children are now much safer, the situation remains fragile.

“While the overwhelming majority of parents support the changes that have taken place over the past two years, there are a minority of people in the community who are still intent on destabilising these schools.”

Meanwhile, the council is failing badly to improve its performance:

“Birmingham’s political leaders, in my opinion, have consistently shown themselves to be incapable of delivering the urgent and sustained change required to improve the safety and well-being of the city’s vulnerable children.”…

In the wake of the investigation, several Muslim teachers were found guilty of malpractice at tribunals, with one being banned from teaching for five years for exerting an “undue amount of religious influence” on students.

Some schools were also found to have stopped marking Christian celebrations such as Christmas and Easter, but introduced the celebration of Muslims festivals and even sent children on pilgrimages.

    “The West is the Enemy, Capitalism is the Enemy, and The Christian Faith, which the West is based on is the enemy”. Ask yourself this, is this the creed of Islam, Communism, or both?

    The Islamic threat is very real, as documented here. However, it is only part of a much larger picture/plan.

      Mate: the Jihad has been going on, with pretty much all the features we are seeing everywhere in the world right now, for **1400 years**. Long, long, long before the birth of Karl Marx.

      Read what happened in Iran. The Iranian communists – atheists, and therefore apostates – joined the revolution against the Shah. And after the Shah fell, *they* were the first to be killed en masse.

      Communism is a mere flash in the pan, a johnny-come-lately, compared to Islam.

      The OIC is infinitely more sinister – and much better resourced, thanks to petrodollars – than the old Comintern or any modern successor thereof.

      Read Patrick Sookhdeo’s “Faith, Power and Territory” together with “Islam in Britain”, which describes precisely the process of Islamisation that Muslims use when they are not powerful enough to simply march in, destroy everything and everybody all at once, and rule by main force. Ex-Muslim Sam Solomon’s books ‘The mosque and its role in Society” and “Al Hijra: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration” are also very, very illuminating.

      Communists are rank amateurs compared to Muslims. Muslims have been at their game for over 1000 years.

        Excellent response Dumbledore! And their Modus operandi hasn’t changed and WON’T change until they “make it so”. And that will never happen.

      The left in the West is allied with Islamists to destroy Western Civilization, America, Christianity, and the White race.

    “Little improvement” in PC language probably means no improvement. But even if there is substantial improvement it doesn’t mean much. Muslims can talk the talk we like to hear, even they can walk the walk – for a while until the time is right. Muslims in the west usually follow the Muslim Brotherhood’s (MB) strategy of speaking two languages at the same time.

    Muslims know Europe is too sick and tired to stand to its values in which many Europeans don’t believe anymore. They know they can take over Europe (with the help of many Europeans ) with minimal resistance. The MB plan is working well so far
    On the 29th of Ramadan each year, various Islamic countries decide if the next day would be the Eid day or the 30th of Ramadan. Listening to Arabic news last Monday, I was surprised that the UK was counted as one of those Islamic countries that decided to celebrate Eid on Tuesday!!!

      “Muslims in the west usually follow the Muslim Brotherhood’s (MB) strategy of speaking two languages at the same time.”

      There are a lot of videos of Imams doing this Ali shuffle. Fitting that Tariq Ramadan, with his MB heritage, is a striking example. Danes were recently surprised to see examples of Muslim leaders behaving magnanimously, or at least not in a hostile way, toward Westerners and then like their surreptitious Islamowhacko selves when they figured they weren’t being watched– which of course was/is generally when they’re in mosque.

    Here is a plan for Muslims to convert the kuffar. It is a sure bet.
    First, print the Koran on rice paper, then feed it to the kuffar.

    You are what you eat.
    The Koran is Allah’s word.
    If you eat Allah’s word you will absorb his word.
    Your body will become the word of Allah.

    What better way to secretly convert the kuffar then to feed them edible Koran?
    Muslims can eat edible Koran too, to make them more pious.

    What to do can’t be complicated, so obviously it’s just a matter of will. Outrageous. Instead of making an example of this place they make an exception and allow it to be an anti-British, anti-Western terrorist factory.

    “Political leaders” eh? You know, London has a muslim mayor. What’s the status in Birmingham?

    They are fighting a losing battle, for the quislings are still firmly in control.

    It’s naive of our politicians and civil servants to think change will happen without our constant attention.

    Islam is a danger to our children and our society, and it’s also their ‘religion’ so they are unable to change in any way that does not address their adherence to islam.

    No amount of reasoning or inspections will work on those fully committed to the cult.

    If only ONE CHILD has been influenced by Islam then this is a huge FAIL! School administrators STILL do not understand the covertness of Islamic ideology. “Raise up a child in the way that he should go, and when he is old he will return”. If I were a parent there I would be in that classroom every day.

    No hope yet for the Netherlands. In my little country those issues are never even discussed in the media. Worse yet, we have a system of “bijzondere scholen” (schools of exception) where a certain religion is allowed to be taught to minors – whether or not this religion is discriminating against other groups or laws of sharia are promoted which violate even basic human rights is not even part of the decision to keep that school running fron taxpayer’s money. We could as well start burning wiches again or decide to live in the dark ages as we used to.

      So many of European laws and conventions rely on the ‘Europeanness’ of the population, that is an educated, liberal and law-abiding society, where there is a consensus of behaviour and belief (in the broadest sense of the word) ie. belief in democracy, rule of law etc.

      Our institutions were never equipped to deal with a regressive and violent subculture that is the antithesis of all that we hold true and worthwhile.

      I worked in Amsterdam for nearly a year, and conclude that the Dutch are a well educated and intelligent people, but the right wing/racist smear is one that I suspect most people fear more than islam itself.
