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

UK: Parents removing children from lessons on Islam, visits to mosques

Jan 11, 2019 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education revealed that parents in in the borough of Thurrock “have objected to the teaching of Islam and withdrawn children from lessons and visits to places of worship,” namely mosques.

The Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education, like many other Western groups that promote dialogue, should educate its members first about Islamic doctrine. It would find that its focus instead should be on promoting tolerance and assimilation among Muslim migrants, as well as among mainstream Islamic groups that are generally negative toward Western values of pluralism (which includes the freedom of speech) and the equality of all humans, i.e. no supremacist entitlements, no inferior status for women.

Children visiting mosques, Islamic Centers and the like teaches them nothing about how to promote genuine interfaith harmony. Such visits do not address the real concerns that non-Muslims in the UK have about Islam: the Muslim rape gangs that have been covered up in Britain and the Sharia courts that are operating beyond the reach of British law, not to mention the jihad attacks. Are the children being taught about the Islamic texts that teach and sanctions such abuse? Of course not, and schools are certainly not the place to address it all. These issues are too serious to be covered up with friendly posturing that attempts to conceal unwelcome truths and promote a false sense of societal safety and unity. And parents know it.

“British Parents Removing Children from Lessons on Islam, Report Finds,” by Victoria Friedman, Breitbart, January 10, 2019:

A report that found that parents in Essex are removing their children from Religion Education (RE) lessons on Islam and school trips to mosques.

The Standing Advisory Council for Religious Education (SACRE) has found that parents in Thurrock, South-East England, “have objected to the teaching of Islam and withdrawn children from lessons and visits to places of worship,” the Thurrock Gazette reports.

SACRE, which recommends the teaching of religion in schools, said that it would need to launch an investigation into how many parents are pulling their children from aspects of religious education teaching.

“The outcome for those children, who arguably are those that most need to be taught about Islam, are no longer being taught about it,” the report continued.

“It is not clear whether or not this is a widespread issue in Thurrock, but it is clear that SACRE needs to investigate.

“Schools have a statutory duty to promote community cohesion.”

Religious education, where children are taught about world religions and sometimes ethics, is compulsory in all state-funded schools, but parents reserve the right to pull their children from all or parts of the lessons.

In 2017, the Church of England called for the right of parents to pull their children out of RE classes to be banned, complaining that “fundamentalist” parents were “abusing” the option and that it could result in the right being hijacked by those who want to “incite religious hatred”…..

    Traitorous and Islamist-backing Western ruling elites and media are Islamising their own societies even faster than the Islamists themselves have hoped for!

    Are they forcing Muslim children to go to churches and synagogues? Are the muslims being taught about the Christian and Jewish Faith’s?

      And be accused of blasphemy or Islamaphobia for trying to “convert” their children?

        Gary, when you are selling an old banger(car) you emphasize all the good parts and don’t mention the defects.I’m sure that’s what goes on. Look how Islam has latched on to Feminism. Two completely opposite ideologies, but somehow the Feminists fell for it. I now see there is a sign of a reaction against this. Linda Sarsour has been found out for what she really is.

    No, the pro-islam, pro-jihadist elites that run the West are actually removing Christian crosses to please muslims! See more of this below:

      CB: We need to ask the Muslims to remove the Moon and star from the top of mosques because we find it offensive. This is clearly a reciprocal and fair reaction, don’t you think? While they’re at it, they can remove the whole building as well, because it is even more offensive.Think about Saudi Arabia and It’s attitude to Christian churches.

    The conquest is more expeditious if the conqueror first takes over the media and then the education system. No doubt what is being taught is a fraudulent version of Islam. The submissives could at least ask that Anjem Choudary be put in charge.

    I don’t mind my kids being taught about islam in school. I am well aware that the teachers will paint a rosy picture of the religion of peace – when the day comes I will teach them the full story

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 11, 2019 at 11:17 pm

      Kessler, will you be able to teach every child in Britain the truth about Islam? This seems unlikely…

      • Dave says

        Jan 13, 2019 at 10:23 am

        Teaching the truth about Islam is the duty of our government. This is a duty that they not going to carry out. If UKIP was in power, then they probably would.

        In fact the whole world needs to be taught the truth about Islam, which is clearly being covered up by many world governments. When will they come clean with the reason for this?

    • Carol the 1st says

      Jan 12, 2019 at 2:42 pm

      Kessler…what gets in there first lays groundwork that will be very hard to erase. The last thing a culture needs is for its children to be held hostage by cartoon-like, emotional lies and pap which create false impressions about an innately hostile culture. Parents are being held hostage since they’re inclined not to want to rock their children’s boats during very impressionable years.
      Islamic garbage definitely should not be in the schools. It is the camel’s nose under the tent.

    Anyone force feeding a kid with islam in a public school should receive a shotgun blast of birdshot to the backside.

    As an officially Christian country, England should promote the Church of England and promote Christianization of all Muslims in the country. If Muslims don’t like it, then leave. The Church of England should immediately form a big committee to create a society to evangelize Muslims. Muslims today are open to considering Islam is not true.

      Mortimer, let’s hope that the truth will out, sooner rather than later. If only we could each tell two friends about the dirty secret of Islam and its aims of world domination, without being called a NAZI racist bigot (let’s not forget Islamophobic!) and risk losing a friend, then pretty soon we would have a lot of knowledgeable people

  11. Lydia Church says

    Jan 11, 2019 at 2:10 pm

    Yes, this is another shade of betrayal. Bravo to these parents!

    A few items to keep in mind:

    1. mosques are NOT places of worship. Biblical churches are. (again, semantics and language can sculpt one’s thinking and we must be on guard)
    2. For a crash course in islam, just visit the no-go zones in the UK. It should be a local field trip for most…
    3. The only thing anyone needs to be taught about islam is that it is evil. Period.
    4. This is just about islamic invasion, handing over dominance to and take over by.
    5. Community cohesion and interfaith ‘harmony’ and dialogue are just buzz words for the one world religion under antichrist. There is no such thing as ‘harmony’ among them and we all know it.
    6. That last paragraph gives away who the betrayers are. Again, calling those who are right ‘hateful,’ etc. I’m glad the pilgrims left, they were right too! The church of england persecuted them.
    7. You ALWAYS have the right to pull your kid from evil indoctrination! You just DO IT! Don’t wait for permission from your enemies! If you don’t have the back bone to stand up to this in order to protect your kids in these dangerous times of global take over, then you should not get married and put yourself in a situation where you might have any. I’m not saying that to be snide or snarky, but out of true concern. It will only put them and society in danger. Everyone will suffer. Think about the end result.
    8. From reading these great comments at this time, there are a lot of good points made here and exposing how biased things are being done there.

    We must plan the details of our lives, or someone else will do it for us and we won’t like the outcome.

    They are not being taught about Islam honestly. It’s a advertisement event, to make islam look good. I would coach my kids to ask the most uncomfortable questions that I can come up with ”So tell me about the prophet Muhammads mental problems, I heard he used to talk to himself and that he was suicidal, was he crazy?”, ”What about the slave girls he used to rape, do muslims have a bad feeling about that?”,, and classic ”Well I always hear people say islam is peace, but so many people are killed to the shouts of allah akbar that it’s scary, did prophet Muhammad ever kill people?”
    The teacher would be embarrassed and good so.

      We can’t expect our children to fight our battles for us. Getting along with the other children is just too important to their proper growth. In our culture we favor protecting the young and it’s the sell-outs who allow obvious and harmful false indoctrination to fall on their innocent heads.
      OIL AND WATER DON’T MIX so the stupid sell-outs should scram with their teaspoonfuls of mustard.

      • Carol the 1st says

        Jan 12, 2019 at 3:17 pm

        per a Michael Copeland post:

        “‘…between us and you enmity and hatred forever…’ Koran 60:4
        The Koran is part of Islamic law.
        European politicians do not take this seriously.”
        …..

        This is real and incorrigible “hate speech”.

    I applaud the parents for the correct move to halt this brainwashing tactic being used on children. The ones to remove are the superintendents and teachers that promote this. Traitors in our midst.

    My mother was a primary school teacher in London and I remember her telling me in the late 1980s that a Muslim child in her class (8 year olds) disrupted the Religious Education lessons when Hinduism or Christianity were being taught. She admonished him repeatedly, but he would scribble over the writing and drawings they were supposed to be doing, telling her ” these religions are all made up and evil”. This from an 8 year old in the late 80s. We are very stupid in the UK to continue to take our tolerant attitude to other religions when they are totally intolerant and looking to kill us all.
