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

UK: Home of convicted rapist used as Islamic school, council can’t shut it down

Jul 22, 2018 10:12 am By Robert Spencer

If the convicted rapist were a non-Muslim and this were not an Islamic school, would the council consider itself so powerless to shut it down? Of course not. In shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain, Islamic identity confers upon one all manner of immunity.

“The Islamic school run from the home of a rapist: Owner attacked girl, 16, but council can’t prevent his wife teaching primary pupils in the front room,” by Andy Dolan, Daily Mail, July 20, 2018:

The home of a convicted rapist is being used as an unregulated Islamic school for children.

Ghulam Haider’s wife is teaching around 17 children of primary school age at the madrassa that she runs from their front room at weekends.

Former taxi driver Haider, 61, was jailed for six years in 2006 after a court heard he brutally raped a 16-year-old at a derelict churchyard.

The madrassa highlights a safeguarding loophole around children attending ‘out of school education’ centres, which require no monitoring from education watchdog Ofsted or local authorities.

There is also no requirement for Haider’s wife, Sadiqqa, who teaches classes in their front room, to submit to Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks.

The checks would flag up Haider’s conviction and are intended to prevent unsuitable people from working with vulnerable groups, including children.

Ofsted described the madrassa, run from Haider’s semi-detached home in Acocks Green, Birmingham, as ‘deeply worrying’.

The watchdog’s head, Amanda Spielman, has previously warned that Islamic hardliners are preaching extreme doctrines in underground schools across the UK.

Her predecessor Sir Michael Wilshaw said: ‘I raised this issue time and time again when I was at Ofsted.

Unregistered schools by their very nature are outside of the law and I was concerned that they were increasing in number, particularly in cities like Birmingham.

‘The Government needs to think about how both schools outside of mainstream education and madrassas such as this need to be properly regulated and inspected.’

Birmingham City Council said the situation was ‘nothing short of appalling’ and the case highlighted the need for an overhaul of regulations.

Last Saturday, the Mail watched as 17 boys and girls were dropped off at Haider’s home for a two-hour session learning the Koran. Only two of their parents said they were aware of Haider’s past.

One father – angry that he had not been told – confronted Mrs Haider, 50, and vowed never to send his daughter back to the lessons.

The father, who would only give his first name, Hussain, said: ‘I’m shocked. I know the teacher, Sadiqqa, she is a good lady and I see him [Haider] sometimes at the house.’

Another father, who paid £25 a month for his son to attend on Saturdays and Sundays, admitted he knew about Haider’s conviction and was ‘concerned’ about it.

He said: ‘When my son comes home he does get questioned. I ask him what the mum is saying and whether the husband is around… I just hope he’s a changed man.’

Other parents seemed unconcerned when informed of Haider’s past. Some said they didn’t even know who was teaching their child.

One mother said: ‘We were recommended the madrassa by people we know. We call the teacher “Sister”.’ Some of the parents said the lessons were free because they knew the family.

There was no sign of Haider – who is understood to work at a dairy – when Mail reporters were watching, but he was seen coming and going in a silver Kia car on another occasion.

Haider was 49 when he was found guilty of indecent assault and rape and put on the sex offender register for life.

When approached last Saturday, his wife said her husband was ‘at work’ and claimed his victim had made up the allegations.

She added: ‘This is not a proper madrassa. All the children are my neighbours and things like that.’ She said the conviction was ‘not right – he didn’t do it’.

When reminded of Haider’s crime, she said: ‘You don’t need to repeat that, I don’t want to go through that again.’ Mrs Haider, who has four children with her husband, said her was ‘not involved’ in running of the school.

The Haiders share the home with one of their daughters and son Ammar, 31, a convicted fraudster who was released from prison on licence in March….

    Muslims are corrupting the minds of children in these madrassas. We shouldn’t “regulate” them, we should shut them down. They are teaching lessons that prepares these kids for a lifetime of contempt and hatred for our culture and laws, and they instill a “moral” and “legal” basis for the terror they do. It doesn’t take much Googling to find information on the bad effects these madrassas have, they encourage contempt and violence against non-muslims with their bigoted teachings. Here’s a headline from AsiaNews:

    Pakistan shut down 182 madrassas since Peshawar massacre

    …they did this as part of a “…broad strategy to counter Islamic terrorism.”

    An here’s another from The Times of India:

    Some madrassas have produced terrorists: Muslim body chief

    …and that’s coming from “The chief of a Muslim body,” not some “infidel” speaking harshly of islam.

    And from Salma Sitara, a muslim who was raised in a muslim country, who said,

    Islamic schools called Madrassas can often be hate factories…The poor children who are being brainwashed in these terrible places should receive proper education and care. This action alone will make the biggest difference against terrorism.

    There really is no excuse for anyone to not know the dangers of these islamic schools, information is readily available to anyone who cares to look. These schools are the seeds of our destruction as they are breeding grounds for succeeding generations of infidel haters and killers. At a minimum they should be regulated/monitored, more prudently they should be shut down.

      Why not shut down Catholic and jewish school in the UK also.

        Why not shut down Catholic and jewish school in the UK also.

        Are they encouraging anti-democratic sentiments? are they teaching bigotry and intolerance in the name of religion? does their curriculum promote religious verses that justify murder and slavery for a bigoted god? If “yes” to these questions then they should be shut down too. But somehow I don’t think that’s going to happen.

        A quote from a muslim teacher in the attached vid, “You have to hate what displeases allah, especially when living in this country with that non-muslim… You don’t have to be friends with them, that is not allowed.”

        …and that’s far from the worst thing said, she also says, “kill him. kill,” when referring apostates. The intolerance taught in this video is an incitement to violence in my lay person’s opinion. I wish I could say this was a miraculous exception and that most are promoting healthy, humanitarian values. But that’s absurd isn’t it, cuz if they were doing that it wouldn’t be islam.

      Very good points made by Mr Danatelli.

      Unfortunately while we have the dreadful Theresa May as Prime Minister no action will ever be taken against any form of Muslim corruption or threats to children’s safety.

      When she had her disastrous six year spell as Home Secretary ( probably the worst ever) the Sharia courts were allowed to proliferate all over the country. May is besotted with Islam – you only have to look at her Eid videos and messages to them, her visits to the mosques etc.

      Theresa delenda est.

    “preaching extreme doctrines”

    Will the willful ignorance about Islam ever end?

    • mortimer says

      Jul 23, 2018 at 7:39 am

      Yes, ‘willful ignorance’ it is, combined with the attitude of Pollyanna.

      IT’S THE IDEOLOGY, STUPID.

    Of course they won’t consider cutting off the utilities to the house, evicting the rapist, or simply demolishing the place.

    One father:”I just hope he’s a changed man,” Muslim parents sure hold low standards for their fellow Muslims. Were this a public or non-Muslim school or daycare the parents would be screaming for the authorities to render it non-operational. I guess madrassas and mosques just beat whatever milligram of humanity you may have out of you.

    Why is this surprising? Londonistan sold out a long time ago. Theresa May’s Burqua needs to cover her mouth!
