Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Islamic school merely “slammed,” not closed, for gender segregation, pro-jihad speakers

Jun 25, 2017 10:09 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A Luton Islamic School which segregated staff by gender and hosted radical speakers has been slammed by the Charity Commission and accused of misconduct.

Big deal, now what?  The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted) also noted in a report last year that “leaders and governors…. undermine the school’s work to promote fundamental British values,” and “school leaders acknowledge that some guest speakers to the school have not been vetted with sufficient rigour.” This news was a lesser repeat of another finding three years ago, when inspectors uncovered six “UK schools pushing radical Islamic agendas,” but nothing significant has been done.

The mere “slamming” of Rabia (with its history of radicalism) by the Charity Commission is little more than optics in the usual hollow gestures in dealing with “radical Islamic agendas.”

In addition to jihadi schools, many mainstream mosques are also well known to be preaching jihad, despite Theresa May’s empty promise two years ago to “shut down extremist mosques supporting terror” and to drive out a “‘significant’ number of fanatics” from Britain.

“Charity Commission Slams Islamic School for Segregation, Radical Speakers”, by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, June 24, 2017:

A Luton Islamic School which segregated staff by gender and hosted radical speakers has been slammed by the Charity Commission and accused of misconduct.

The Rabia Educational Trust caters for 128 pupils, charges up to £2,300 a year, and has the stated ‘charitable aim’ of advancing “the single sex Islamic faith based education of girls and boys.”

It was found to have poor management, mismanaged accounts, and failed to protect pupils from potentially harmful views in the past, the regulator claimed in an inquiry report.

Concerns were first raised in 2012, and Ofsted has inspected Rabia Girl’s and Boy’s School four times since 2014. Although progress has been made there were still failings, the report said, and the institution remains under regulatory action by the school’s inspectorate.

In a report from April 2016, Ofsted noted that “Leaders and governors, through their actions, undermine the school’s work to promote fundamental British values”, and, “school leaders acknowledge that some guest speakers to the school have not been vetted with sufficient rigour”.

In response, the school’s trustees had promised to not allow foreign or religious speakers to address the students, but this did not go far enough, the Charity Commission said.

The school had also “insisted on segregating men and women through the use of a dividing screen across the middle of the room [at a meeting with the inspectors]”.

They later claimed this was a one off as the meeting was held in a prayer room. The Charity Commission accepted the excuse and insisted the meetings were moved.

The Commission has also criticised the trustees for being unable to “demonstrate sufficient accounting record to explain all the charity’s financial transaction” and there were reports of a series of dodgy property-related deals…..

In reference to the charity sector generally, the Commission said, “there have been occasions when terrorists, and those with extremist views… have used charity events to make those views known”, and urged more to done to stop this.

    Words are cheap without action to follow and the lack of any substantial action to deter any further segregation, teaching of radical Islam, and the bringing in of radical Imams to preach, will just be laughed off by these “governors” of the school.

    The school should be fined a large amount, the board forced to resign and be replaced, and the threat of closure be hung over their heads.

    Only then the school MIGHT start to learn that Islam isn’t an acceptable form of discrimination and radicalization in the west, but I doubt it and they will probably do their Islamic brainwashing covertly while they are being watched.

    Muslims believe that they have NOTHING to learn from dirty kafirs. So why would they want to go to school. The only important thing in Islamic education is the rote memorization of the Koran.

    Muslims do not belong in UK schools and do not belong in UK. Muslims do not wish to fit in or assimilate, so why are they in UK in the first place?

    UK’s Muslims are highly inbred and many learn nothing in school and of those who learn something, a large number are jihadists.

    The social engineering experiment with Islam is a TOTAL FAILURE. Muslims do not assimilate.

    They are at war with the Western way of life. They should be funded to leave the country and go to a dysfunctional, inbred, backward Islamic country where they can pursue their dysfunctional, inbred, backward, 7th-century, Islamic lifestyle.

    Leave the modern, progressive West to modern, progressive Western people.

    “urged more be done to stop this”

    Well, sure, that’ll do it.

    The UK has some VERY serious problem when it comes to Islam.

    The UK made the grave mistake of allowing Moslems to move in, have sanctuary cities, terrorist training centers, allows Moslem criminals to get away with their “Allahu Akhbar” acts, and destroy their nation.

    I fear it is too late at this point for Britainstan.

    Muslims have been developing and operating a fully functional parallel society in Britain for decades now.

    Muslims have absolutely no intention of accommodating British culture or integrating into British society.

    WHY SHOULD THEY ??? Successive British governments have actively encouraged Muslims to continue to live, dress and behave as they did in whatever Muslim shithole they originated from.

    Britain’s Charity Commission can freeze bank accounts so it is not totally toothless. Ofsted (schools regulator) and the Commission have decided to reform the school rather than close it down.

    “… Theresa May’s empty promise two years ago to “shut down extremist mosques supporting terror” and to drive out a “‘significant’ number of fanatics” from Britain…”

    I hope this is what most of the British Public would like to see, but it’s impossible to tell. What’s more certain is that Prime Minister May is an exceedingly weak leader, all too willing to take the easy option of throwing a few placating words to the public, while setting in place a system of Apartheid Justice, where the excesses of chosen minorities are largely ignored while minor infringements on the part of other citizens receive frenzied attention and punishment.

    Brilliant comment by Matthieu Baudin – May is no leader and never will be.

    Most politicians prostrate themselves before the Muslims as they want the Muslim block vote. Votes are all they care about.
