What race is Sharia again? I keep forgetting. Why do these “educators” not have any concern for Muslim girls who are forced to wear hijab, and are sometimes brutalized for not doing so? For the same reason that British authorities turned a blind eye to Muslim rape gang activity for so many years. It is the most important priority for British authorities not to appear “Islamophobic.” The whole country can go down the drain, and that’s what it’s doing, but as long as these people aren’t accused of “Islamophobia,” all is well.
“Ofsted defends itself as teachers say attempts to ban hijab ‘racism dressed as liberalism,'” by Carly Read, Express, April 1, 2018:
DEFIANT Ofsted defended itself against a backlash from teachers today after speakers at the NUT conference blasted inspectors’ attempts to ban hijabs in classrooms as “racism dressed up as liberalism”….
The Ofsted head said creating environments where the girls are expected to wear hijabs “could be interpreted as sexualisation of young girls”.
Furious teachers accused Ms Spielman of taking an “unwarranted and typically draconian stance” on the issue and dubbed it as “wholly inappropriate” for the watchdog to quiz primary-age pupils on their choice of dress.
Kaiser Jan, a delegate from Leeds, accused the chief inspector of wading in on the approach of “ we must rid our schools of these weapons of mass destruction – the hijab”.
She ranted: “Well let me tell you Amanda Spielman, we’re not going to take it. I am so proud to be in a union that is challenging this, I am so proud that we stand shoulder to shoulder.
“Whatever your ideas about the hijab, I’m so proud of our general secretary who has stood shoulder to shoulder and head to head with Amanda Spielman telling her our union is not going to accept her Islamaphobic policies.”
She added: “We have taken regressive steps, where our children are now being told, or made to feel, they must leave their cultural, and linguistic and religious identity at the door.
“I know Muslim girls and men who have shaved off their beards, taken off their hijabs so they can Anglicise themselves to fit in, so they are not viewed as part of the problem.”
Pete Smith, a delegate from Swindon, blasted the Ofsted policy on hijabs as racism “dressed up as liberalism”.
Ms Spielman previously gave her support to Neena Lall, head of St Stephen’s Primary School in east London, which argued school leaders have the right to set uniform rules.
The school was forced to back down on plans to ban hijabs in class.
Peggy Fulkerson says
It’s hard to believe that the British people are allowing their children to be indoctrinated into Islam. In light off the attacks on women and children in London. You’d thinkmthays have better sense.

Yes–this is what I noted–that Muslim students are violently enforcing Hijab, even on non-Muslims.
That the headmaster did nothing to protect the girl, but instead urged the concerned parents to themselves enforce the Shari’ah of the Muslim bullies, is just sickening. And I presume this creep has kept their job, and is failing other students. *Ugh*.

PATHOLOGICAL PSEUDO-FEMINISTS WHO BETRAY WOMEN TO PATRIARCHY and MISOGYNY

Anne Smith says
They are hard line left wing Marxists who see the import of cultural Islam as promoting their cause which is to defeat the established Government of the day and bring in a borderless world in which there is no national identity.
Very few people in Britain have realised the extent to which the Marxists have taken over education, in schools, colleges and even the leading universities. No one is taught how to think anymore, only what to think.
The so called teachers for the most part do not understand anything of Koranic teaching, nor are they interested, but they do wish to bring down the Government and turn Britain into a Marxist hell hole in which they will reign supreme.

Agreed, but the majority of teachers are people who have never left school, they are childish, and live in a quasi world of their own making. They have no idea of the reality of living under Sharia, most have probably never read the Koran or the hadiths, yet it seems they want to impose Islamic ideology on those who do not follow mohammed.

maghan says
Assume that part of their religious and cultural identity was to drink the blood of a kaffir, would there still be a fuss?
gravenimage says
Jay Boo, maghan is saying that if these teachers are supporting Muslims enforcing Hijab because it is their cultural heritage, would they do the same if part of their cultural heritage was drinking the blood of Kuffar?
This is not such an outrageous question, since it is indeed part of Muslims’ cultural heritage to oppress, rape, and murder Infidels.
Jack Diamond says
Of course there is zero concern for what the hijab symbolizes, what it means as a flag for shari’a and Islam, what the consequences are for girls who refuse to wear it, that would be too confusing and hurt the brains of the speakers at the NUT conference.
Is it such a long journey from the pretend hijab (hair covering) to the real hijab (full body covering) to the blood of the kaffir? Not that anyone at the NUT conference would know, but maybe they should invite Omar Bakri back to explain this one particular “religious identity” in more detail.
Muhammad said in Sahih Muslim bk31n5917 that he had been (divinely) ordered to fight
against people until they testify to Islam and practice Islam, “then their blood and their riches are inviolable from your (the Muslim) hands.”
So, Sheikh Omar Bakir could say in 2012: “When I go to Europe or Britain…their blood and property have no protection except through a peace treaty or a dhimmi pact. The general rule is that the blood and property of non-Muslims are permissible for us. Their blood and property are not inviolable. It is in their interest to have a peace treaty or dhimmi pact with me. Either you accept it, or we live in a state of war. A Muslim co-exists with an infidel either through a peace treaty, a dhimmi pact, or a state of war.”
Note, blood means blood, their actual lives. Riches and property include their women. Peace treaties are temporary and broken when it suits the Muslims, not to mention a great many Muslims openly consider the West now a House of War. Even a dhimmi pact of subjugation and paying a ransom for your life and continuance as a non-Muslim is revoked at the discretion of the Muslims or for giving the slightest offense and it is again a state of war.
Since the best guarantee to Paradise is killing or being killing in jihad, you could certainly say that the pathway to the Islamic Paradise is paved with the blood and skulls of the kaffirs. Are they not a blood sacrifice to allah? Kaiser Jan? And can this not be viewed as divine sanction to rob, pillage, plunder, and rape you, Kaiser Jan? Good with that?
But no they mustn’t Anglicise themselves to fit in. That would be the real crime.

Funny you should say that about blood, but a nun in Syria, a Sister Dagone revealed there is a thriving blackmarket for Christian blood. During ISIS occupation, Christians were specifically set aside for slaughter in factories.
The victims were drained and the blood packaged and sold to rich Saudi’s for $100,000 a vial. The belief being that if they wash their hands in Christian blood they will go to heaven

Tell me ONCE more exactly what race is islam???
tim gallagher says
Yes, Pete, my instant reaction to these types of reports is how can anyone be dumb enough to run this imbecilic line that Islam is a race. It’s just a very nasty ideology. But, I guess what they mean is that most Muslims are non-white people, so, to these idiots, it becomes “racism” (ooh, the horror! though, of course, anti-white racism is just fine ) to criticise it. There are some whites who join Islam, but very few. Most white people, brought up in an evolved, humane western civilisation, see nothing appealing in Islam, which is the way it should be. They see it as primitive, backward and barbaric. Which is exactly what it is. No wonder Islam always has had to force people into Islam by threats,etc. The woman saying the people who oppose Islam are “racist” not “liberals” is a complete fool. No, I believe most people who fight against Islam are fighting for decent, liberal values against barbarism. They are fighting for good against evil. That’s why they fight against Islam. People like this fool must have a lot of self-loathing for white, western civilisation for some reason which I don’t understand at all. I agree completely with Georg’s comment below. It’s Islam’s evil content that matters, especially it’s foul attitude towards all non-Muslims.
Save Europe says
I always shut down the Leftards who espouse ‘racism’, by simply stating – a Bosniak is exactly the same ethnicity as a non Muslim Bosnian; a Coptic Christian Egyptian exactly the same as an Egyptian Muslim; a Sri Lankan Muslim the same as a Tamil or Singalese etc etc etc
tim gallagher says
Spot on, Save Europe. But it should be obvious to everyone that this rubbish that attacking Islam in some way is “racism” is just total nonsense. I suspect it is known to be rubbish but the lefties, like this idiotic woman in this report, just use “racism” as a nasty word to shut down debate and make their opponents seem like horrible people. “Racism” has become one of those meaningless terms the way it is often misused these days.

That’s because a glad-hand, smile, and taqiyya-reinforced reassurance from a smooth cleric or representative takes the place of any actual reading of the Quran. Such a trusting voice and manner; how could a liberal be so un-PC as to question such obvious gentleness and honesty? Besides, that’s work and liberal university graduates are above the “working class” – don’cha know?
Georg says
Agreed. But I’d add a lot of it has to do with their fetishization of Muslims due to something like an index of things which confirm their agenda: ie, Muslims tend to be non-white, downtrodden (of course due to their own foolishness), and are virulently anti-Western as well as anti-Jewish. It just all fits. Add in to that a perverse contrarian vibe, narcissism, not to mention nihilism and, again, it just fits. Oh yea… another thing: COWARDICE. Douglas Murray a while back criticized liberals with an analogy that was great, where he mocked “liberals” for extolling their courage for attacking empty hornets’ nests (such as beating up on benevolent Christians for things like opposition to homosexuality) but “running the other way” when encountering a hornets’ nest that was actually real–such as with encountering Islam. The only exception I’d take with the analogy is that liberals don’t do something as non-harmful as run away, they assist them to the fullest extent and champion their genocidal, retrograde cause.
tim gallagher says
I agree totally with your comment, Georg. Very well said. But, to me, these lefties, who play footsies with Islam and seem to always support it and try to aid it, are idiots who are playing a dangerous game. If Islam gets power, these idiots will be slaughtered and oppressed along with all the other non-Muslims, the hated “non-believers”. So they are bloody idiots to aid Islam. I agree with your comment as well, Westman.

Prince Salman now lets Christians in Saudi Arabia celebrate Christmas and Easter. In June, he’ll let women drive. Saudi Arabia is moving towards the future. The UK is moving towards the dark ages. One day the UK could be more repressive than Saudi Arabia.
gravenimage says
Linda, I have heard nothing about Christians being allowed to openly celebrate Christmas and Easter in Saudi Arabia–do you have more information?
Some hotels and shopping malls might have Christmas trees–that has been the case for some time–but no Christian may practice their faith openly. In fact, Christians there have been arrested for practicing their religion *in their homes*.
Linda says
Christmas:

Thanks, Linda–I’ve seen this video.
It doesn’t mention anything about tolerance of religious observance–it just shows a couple of Christmas trees in hotels and shopping centers and a few decorated shop windows–which has been the case for years in Saudi Arabia.

Easter:

This is the first time I have seen this video, Linda–thanks. It is really good to hear that Easter egg hunts are now legal in Saudi Arabia, along with the open selling of Easter baskets.
There is a vague refernce to Christians being able to observe their faith–but what does this add up to? Are Curches allowed (I very much doubt it)? Bibles? Openly wearing crosses? None of this is clear.
Glad to see that the secular aspects of Easter are no longer being suppressed there, at least.
Linda says
In spite of all the naysayers who don’t like President Trump, I think he may be the best president the United States of America has ever had. Due to the faint hope that Crown Prince Salman sincerely means what he says about moving Saudi Arabia towards a moderate version of Islam, I have been looking at videos of him to find out as much as I can. In one video, he talks about eradicating extremism NOW. He sounds much better than the miserable Erdogan or Iranians Mullahs or al Baghdadi. He was talking about contributing to the growth of Saudi Arabia and the world in one video. He sounds like a light shining in the darkness. I am hoping that he is sincere.
gravenimage says
I very much hope so, too, Linda–though I am proceding with caution.
David M says
Apparently when Trump met with him in Saudi Arabia he gave the Prince an ultimatum that he needs to cut out the radicalism in Saudi Arabia or else, & that it what Salman is doing. The house arrest of multiple powerful people in the Hotel is part of that.

My impression is that the Saudi Royal Family has let the Wahhabi clerics control the average person in the street in Saudi Arabia to keep Saudi wealth to themselves. They fund groups like Al Qaeda, ISIS, etc. as long as the groups are wreaking havoc in other countries, and not plotting against the Saudi Royals. Any extremist group wants a caliphate, though. This would mean deposing the Saudi Royal Family at some point. Extremists want a caliph running everything, not a royal family, so it is to the Saudis’ benefit to co-operate with the West. Otherwise, eventually, their days are numbered.

This is the NUT we’re talking about here, whose initials admirably sum it up. They’re so far to the left that you need infra-red specs to read their thinking (if that’s the correct word to describe their Common Purpose-addled brain.functions) and, from their angle, any ‘normal’ pollitical thinking beyond the sane side of neo-communism is ‘far right’. A lot of their membership would be Primary School teachers, so you can’t expect a reading age above 11, and properly understanding naughty words like
‘Racism’ is getting above their intellectual capacities. When nice, enriching men with big beards from Tower Hamlets tell them that Saint Mohammed will fly over their chimney pots on his magic carpet, dropping copies of his Adventures in.Mecca, they’ll prostrate themselves on their little mats in sheer glee because nice Uncle Jeremy and clever Auntie Dianne will have told them that nasty books like ‘Noddy’ and the the ‘Bible’ are racist, and when they grow up they’ll read the Guardian and watch the BBC and everything will be happy and nice. The end.

“So much respect for Amanda Spielman, trying to stand up for the right of primary school-aged (i.e. 5 years old!) children to not have to cover themselves up with the hijab.”
As a note, it’s not about a Muslim girl’s “calendar” years, rather that Islam’s texts do not require it until she reaches puberty (i.e. menstruation). As I recall, she was attempting to use Islam’s own “rules” against the parents who send prepubescent girls to class wearing hijab.

200 years from now there will be a program on the MBC (Muslim Broadcasting Corporation) looking back in time and the imam narrator will speak of how “not racist” the British Government was compared to most of their citizens:
“England was a country that occupied what is now an island between the Aisha Ocean and the the Dhimmi Channel. The people lived under what is now known as a ‘Transitional Democracy’. This type of government allowed many rights to their citizens but also quietly followed the blessed Shariah. At first they showed their true colors by ignoring crimes committed by Muslims. At the same time they prevented people from publicly saying anything that offended any Muslim. When the Great Holy War erupted they found themselves incapable of protecting themselves if it meant harming a single Muslim.
They then joined the Western Caliphate that makes up all of former Europe and also includes the northernmost regions of North America (subsuming the former nation of Canada).”
Terry Gain says
I think the hijab is a hideous sign of Islamic misogyny and oppression but, absent gross indecency, I don’t think the State has a right to mandate how people dress.
So let oppressed women wear the hijab if they wish and let me shake my head in quiet disapproval.
Karen says
Agree the hijab is all that you say. However, I too have a conflict with this one. Parents do have a right to enforce a dress code for their minor children. As much as I wish they wouldn’t, this includes telling their minor daughters to wear a hijab. It does not include any right to violence if disobeyed, or to bully and threaten adult women who choose otherwise. The big mistake the Left makes on this one is to glamorize the hijab as a symbol of feminism or personal liberty, which it definitely is not.

I’ve seen this shot before, DFD, and probably not. There are homeless people who camp out in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, but nothing anywhere near this bad.
But while this is almost certainly not in Nancy Pelosi’s district, it is probably not far off. My guess is that this is a shot of San Jose’s infamous “jungle” encampment, which the police are constantly breaking up. San Jose is about fifty miles from San Francisco, at the south end of the bay in Silicon Valley.
There is no doubt that there is a very serious homeless problem in this region.

Proving once again that politically correct thinking is even more lethal to freedom, women’s rights, fun in life, common sense, equality under the law, et al. than is Islam.
Hard to top Islam for getting almost everything ass-backwards but Western political correctness, accompanied by that other Western idiocy, i.e., multiculturalism (N.B., outside of the West no other culture is multicultural), has managed to do so. Quite the “achievement.”
You know, being PC/MC is rather like being a Muslim in a very specific respect: One must leave the belief system entirely in order to save oneself entirely.

“vulgarity has become the ideology of the nation.”
“drink- and drug-addled deadbeat parents, feral children, random violence and chosen idleness. Chaos and ignorance, encouraged by the welfare and education systems, and treated as both normal and unavoidable.”
“The real problem is “the modern miracle of British education, in which people come out of school knowing even less than when they went in””
Etc. etc.
………..
Such a nation invokes the judgment of God. And Islam is that judgment! And:
“UK TEACHERS” WILL HELP THE JUDGMENT COME TRUE!
gravenimage says
Benedict, I’ve heard this before–that God wants Islam to take over because Christians have been bad.
But isn’t the horror of Islam much, much worse than anything you find in the West?
Benedict says
Judgment is not a popular subject. “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” –
And “To whom much is given, much is required.” – These are not my words.
The Jewish/Christian tradition has first and foremost been entrusted to the West. It is the God of the Bible who calls the shots – not the impotent Allah and his fake prophet – and this God is not mocked. –
We have better deal with this fact – no matter how offensive it seems to us – otherwise we shall surely perish.
gravenimage says
Benedict–with all respect, and the admission that no one knows the mind of God, certainly not myself–the idea that God prefers the unmitigated evils of Islam to the mistakes of well-meaning Westerners seems pretty questionable.
Baucent says
“The Jewish/Christian tradition has first and foremost been entrusted to the West.”
No, that’s screwy theology. What scripture can you point to to show this “entrusting to the West” by God? If fact the Gospel and Jewish traditions are grounded in the East, and if any have a claim to being “custodians” the Ancient Assyrian and Chaldean churches have a greater claim.
rw says
The comments from the writers that follow don’t grasp the point of a biblical perspective. The western world, ‘Christendom’, was indeed entrusted with the words and the commission of the Living God. (That commission is quite evidently ending or ended, passing to new regions.) When a people as a whole abandon faith in God, they start to lose out on God’s involvement with them; their decisions become more and more foolish and they open the doors to every kind of evil. This is a familiar pattern to readers of what we call the Old Testament – there was a cyclical pattern in Israel of falling away from faith-disaster- renewal-falling away from faith. In the Jewish literature the disasters that befell God’s foolish people are typically described as judgments from God. God is recorded as saying, “I will send upon you this terrible nation…to take you away into exile.” It is a very easy step to ascribe the same language and the same understanding to current events in Europe. Who knows if perhaps the influx of trouble making muslims into Europe will lead the easy going, complacent, fat, degenerate, effete etc. etc.Europeans to radically reconsider their condition – to ‘repent’. More, all over the world, for the first time in history countless muslims are finding their answers in the one they call Isa. Who knows if the exposure of islam to light and to reason (since muslims can no longer be separated from alternative information) will see its death? Who knows what God will accomplish by bringing the hordes to Europe?
Baucent says
My same question to rw ” What scripture can you point to to show this “entrusting to the West” by God?
The gospel was entrusted to ALL believers, as individuals wherever they are, not nations.The “West” is not a special custodian with a duty to protect Christianity. That is the job of the Church and individual believers. They may live in the West, or in the Far East, no region is more important than another. Remember the early Church once flourished in what we now call Turkey. Today there it’s largely disappeared, but there are now churches in regions that formerly had none, the “Ends of the Earth”.
Axolotl says
Am the only one who still believes “Religion will be the death of us all”?
gravenimage says
rw, the Muslim “Isa” has almost nothing in common with the Jesus of the Gospels.
gravenimage says
Axolotl, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and most other faiths are not preaching the subjugation and murder of unbelievers.
Islam certainly is, though. Even if you are not religious and do not like religion, it is important to keep this in mind.

Yes, I find that line of ‘reasoning’ to be deeply deficient.
After all: plenty of deeply-conservative pious and devout Christian societies have been simply *annihilated* by Islam… exhibit A, the Armenian Christians. They were by no stretch of imagination decadent or ‘lapsed’. They were mass-murdered; the Christian presence in most of Anatolia was erased, reduced to the tiniest fraction of what it once was. For some posters here to hail the annihilatory onslaught of Islam simply and solely as some sort of divine punishment for this or that, is horribly simplistic; and verges on ‘blaming the victim’.

I’ll put it less delicately than gravenimage did: Rubbish.
If the Christian deity operates in such a way, then shame on the Christian deity. Hence, time to invoke Prometheus, not only against Islam but against the Judeo-Christian conception of the cosmos as well.
Benedict says
The Promethean Übermensch: first against his conjoined twin, Muhammad, and then against the risen Christ. Good luck with that, W. – And happy Easter to you!
gravenimage says
Benedict, you are mistaken in believing that Prometheus had anything to do with Muhammed. He is a figure out of Greek mythology.

Has it ever occurred to you that that is not the *whole* picture?
What if there are yet seven thousand who have not bowed the knee?
The modern mass media would *die* before giving you a positive story about the good and sober and decent people who do still exist in the UK … let alone the praying, believing remnant of active Christians.
I am quite, quite sure that there are a *lot* more than seven thousand faithful, virtuous, generous, humble and prayerful Christians left in the UK, both from among the native Britons – Welsh, Scots and English – and from among the immigrant populations also.. including the members of, for example, the British Pakistani Christian Association, and the many transcendentally-brave ex-Muslims who persevere with their Christian faith despite terrible threats and persecution from their former coreligionists.
Don’t they count?
Is Britain *only* to be judged by its worst, its most foolish?
*I* know a faithful British Christian lady. And her home church isn’t a small one.
There are others.
The ‘Alpha Course’ that is bringing about a renewal of traditional Christian faith in all sorts of surprising places, was created by … Christians in *modern* Britain.
The ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ project, summoning Christians everywhere to pray for the spread of the gospel, originated in … ‘godless’ modern Britain!! *I* will take part in it; because I think it could, conceivably, if enough people participate, do an ‘end run’ around Islam, by unloosing a bushfire of revival and a flood of *conversions*.
Why don’t *you* sign up for ‘Thy Kingdom Come’? Instead of sitting back and gloating over an anticipated rape-sack-and-pillage of Britain by the Muslim hordes, why not .. pray for deliverance? For renewal and restoration? Pray for the faithful Christians who are right there in the UK.
Pray for the *healing* and *deliverance* of the girls who’ve been victims of Muslim rape gangs. Don’t look down your nose at them and write them off as nasty little sluts who deserved what they got.
PRAY for them to encounter loving Christian people who will heal them and bring them to Jesus who wil restore them to their proper human beauty.

I find the Britain situation is much like watching a slow motion car accident with thousands of casualties.Happy Easter to all as we celebrate the resurrection of Christ Jesus.
dumbledoresarmy says
You are Christian?
Then – look up ‘Thy Kingdom Come’. And sign up to pray. Get out a map of Britain, a fairly detailed map. And.. pray through it, town by town by town, city by city, from the north to the south, from the Highlands of Scotland all the way down to the Isle of Wight.
Pray for the exposure of the mosques, the throwing down of spiritual strongholds of evil. pray for *redemption and deliverance*; the thwarting of Jihad plots.
Pray for the de-dhimmifying of political and religious leaders: *especially* the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Pray for the *removal* of confusion and delusion. Many in Britain have been expertly ‘conditioned’ into a dhimmi mindset by the damn Ummah; pray for that conditioning to be *broken*.
Pray for revival and renewal in every cathedral and every parish church the length and breadth of Britain.
Incidentally: read G K Chesterton, ‘The Ballad of the White Horse’ and ‘Lepanto’ and ‘The Flying Inn’. And read Orthodoxy, section entitled ‘The Five Deaths of the Faith’.
Be encouraged. Not in a pollyannaish way. Chesterton was no pollyanna. But he *was* profoundly hopeful, with the Hope that is a Christian spiritual virtue, not a vague and formless optimism.

‘Behijabbed’ school girls (child abuse) will later become ‘beburked’, as the abuse will prolong in adulthood.
Or else they will be ‘jihaded by their male(?) masters.

The NUT has been at odds with the interests of English school children for the last 50 years at least and should, hopefully, not be seen as truly representative of most teachers.

Why do these “educators” not have any concern for Muslim girls who are forced to wear hijab, …
—————————
I really must admit that I do not longer care for Muslim girls and women. My problem with accepting the hijab in our societies is the fact that it hihglights all free women on the streets, in schools and elsewhere and declares them to prey for Muslim men. That is the real threat of the hijab and therefore we must stand up against its acceptance.
Save Europe says
I agree. I no longer care for those in Western Countries, or those in all non Muslim majority countries. I do care for those in regressive countries like Iran and Saudi where it is enforced by religious police types.
Cicero says
Yes. The hijab is not only a political statement .
It distinguishes a wearer as being distinct from non- Muslim women.
It is a way for Muslims to recognise their women and each other. The hijabbed Muslim woman is screaming “I am a Muslimah! There for ore I am a woman of modesty and self respect.” It is a signal for the Muslim men to respect and safeguard them
It then highlights the non- hijabbed women and little girls as non – Muslim woman and open to kidnapping ( as they used to do in northern parts of India) sexual assault, rape, mutilation and murder. Easy Meat in other words.
Save Europe says
Very true indeed.
gravenimage says

Definitely a Muslim and from a powerful minority in the U.K. no surprise therefore at this blistering attack on the OFSTED chief ( Spielman??). Possibly a person of Jewish heritage being attacked by the die hard anti – Semitic Muslim ?
Let s. Not forget about the “elephant in the room” issue in the U.K. Labour Party which is now being outed I.e the rampant anti – semitism within its serried ranks .
Yet it is only focusing on the non-; Muslim labour members who are criticised for their anti Semitic stance whilst carefully skirting around the Muslim Labour Party members who are the most virulently anti Semitic.
dumbledoresarmy says
I hope that Spielman stands her ground.
Perhaps British-based jihadwatchers should be contacting her with brief messages of encouragement.
They could also refer her to the work of a woman who, as a child, experienced forced-veiling in Khomeini’s Iran, and who – now in France – either as an apostate or as a nominal Muslim, has *strongly* advocated for 1/ the hijab ban in French schools and 2/ the burka ban on the streets.
Her name is Chahdortt Djavann and she is very blunt about the ‘veil’ – the hijab, in any of its forms – as a symbol of the Sharia order. Its meaning is *political*… and she *also* argues very strongly that it involves a sexualisation of little girls, when it is imposed upon *them*.
Her views are summarised – and some very telling passages cited verbatim – in this article – entitled “Outlaw the HIjab” – by one N Maruani, that appeared in Jerusalem Post in 2009.
http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Op-Ed-Contributors/Outlaw-the-hijab
“…She [Djavann] writes that the veil cannot be presented as a personal choice, disregarding centuries of Islamic history.
“She adds that it is inappropriate to probe the motivations of every young girl wearing the veil when what is at stake is a political agenda.
“Djavann explains further: “The veil has never been innocent or innocuous. It has always signified the submission of women to men and the denial of legal rights to women in Islamic countries.”
NOTA BENE – dda. *This* passage needs to be shared with Ms Spielman.
“She stresses that while the Islamists did not invent the veil, they have turned it into a weapon and made it the symbol of their cause.
“ADDRESSING THE growing phenomenon of veiled women in Europe, Djavann points out its centrality to Islamist propaganda: “The political, ideological and psychological impact of the veil goes far beyond its appearance… If this weren’t the case, why would the Islamists make it their main focus?… It constitutes a constant call to order by Islamic law.”
See that? – “It (the Islamic ‘veil’) constitutes a constant call to order by Sharia law”. Again: share that quote with Ms Spielman.
More – “The French intellectuals (and intellectuals elsewhere, like in the UK – DDA) who oppose the banning of the veil in secular schools must understand that they are supporting Islamic dictatorships”, she writes.
“Djavann stresses that Islam can exist without the veil, but the Islamist system [strictly speaking, this is a distinction without a difference: Islam and ‘the Islamist system’ or caliphate/ sharia state, are a continuum – dda] cannot, because “the veil is the symbol, the flag, and the keystone of the Islamic system”.
That final line – ‘the veil is the symbol, the flag and the keystone of the Islamic system’ is what matters. Quote that to Ms Spielman. Give her some ammo.
More – “Djavann also analyzes the social and psychological damage caused by the veil, saying that it denies women a normal social life, because it reduces them to sexual objects. Wearing the veil only “points to what the veil is hiding.. It hides what no-one might look at, if it were not hidden.” As the Islamist system covers women’s heads, it only sees them as genitals, Djavann argues. Hence she calls the veil ‘pornographic on the symbolic level”.
‘Djavann especially condemns the veiling of little girls, calling it abuse because it makes them internalize at an early age that they should be ashamed. “Don’t we hide what we are ashamed of?… Since childhood, these veiled girls feel guilty….”.
More, and very telling – “The veil may mean several things, Djavann explains. It may mean that the woman has become the property of a man. It may also mean – in the case of young girls – that they are being marketed as sexual objects, ready to wed.
Another quotable quote – “The veil does not result from an identity problem. It is an attack on the woman’s body… The act of burying the body of a woman under a piece of cloth is extremely serious, similar to genital mutilation. Veiling a minor is abuse… There is a need for legislation to ban the veil, at least in schools”.
Send some of those quotes, with the reference, to Ms Spielman.
Also, perhaps, refer her to the work of Phyllis Chesler.

The Muslim female slave rag – whatever form it takes – is as much an aggressive political statement as, for example, a Swastika armband would have been if worn by a Nazi sympathiser or actual Nazi-party member in Europe or in an Allied country in the 1930s.
The ‘jihad beard’ on men, and other items of “Muslim gang uniform’, are exactly the same sort of thing: it’s a *uniform*, an aggressively hostile political statement.
They might as well be parading around waving the black flag of Jihad.
