Here again we see how witless and self-deluded British officials are. Do they really assume that Islamic schools are teaching their fashionable Leftist, amoral, post-Christian relativism and libertinism? The Muslim Skeptic is enraged over the decision to ban Abu Khadeejah from managing independent schools, as he believes that “despite running his own independent school, Abu Khadeejah was ultimately reprimanded for not preaching ideas contrary to his own convictions as a Muslim.”
Both sides have a point. On the one hand, independent schools exist in order to teach values that aren’t taught in publicly funded schools. On the other hand, the nation has a right to enforce its own values. It is, however, extremely surprising to see Britain doing so, and as soon as someone tells them they’re being “Islamophobic,” they’ll likely stop. In the meantime, this case raises the question: can a state take action to protect its own culture and heritage from Islamic supremacism and jihad? When Britain does so in favor of today’s authoritarian Leftism, is it even worth the trouble of doing so?
“UK Takes Action Against Islamic Schools Teaching Values Contrary to LGBT, Feminism,” The Muslim Skeptic, July 7, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
In late June 2022, the UK’s Department for Education published a report detailing a decision to ban a certain Muslim private school proprietor from managing independent schools.
The Secretary of State for Education declared Waheed Alam (popularly known as Abu Khadeejah) unfit to be involved in the management of private schools, “unable to comply with his safeguarding responsibilities, and relevant legislation,” effectively disqualifying him from any and all school leadership roles.
This particular action by the UK authorities represents a much bigger problem that affects all Muslims in the West.
The Secretary of State had previously found Abu Khadeejah guilty of “conduct…aimed at undermining the fundamental British value of individual liberty” with said conduct being “offensive, inappropriate, and contrary to the Equality Act 2010, the Independent Schools Standards, and DfE statutory guidance.”
The report cites a number of sermons and articles Abu Khadeejah produced within the last decade “which fail to show tolerance of, and respect for, the rights of others, and/or undermining fundamental British values,” specifically mentioning “strong messages that are aimed at undermining the fundamental British value of individual liberty.”
Apparently, we must all kneel to the timeless virtue of individual liberty.
Among the most “disturbing” of this online content was rhetoric “aimed at undermining the individual liberty of women by seeking to restrict the activities of women.”
The Secretary of State also noted Abu Khadeejah’s “shocking” views regarding the LGBTQ lifestyle and, particularly, his “emotive language to denigrate and demonise gay men in particular,” concluding that these were “aimed at spreading prejudice and intolerance towards gay people.”
The report describes Abu Khadeejah as the “former Chair of Directors of Redstone Educational Services Ltd, proprietor body of Redstone Educational Academy, an independent school” where he also formerly served as the governing body Chair. It interestingly notes the findings of an investigation conducted three years prior which found that these “published discriminatory views…would be accessible to pupils.”
In other words, despite running his own independent school, Abu Khadeejah was ultimately reprimanded for not preaching ideas contrary to his own convictions as a Muslim.
This issue is especially serious for those of us involved in Islamic education or those of us who have or plan to have children. If a man can lose his right to educate the children of consenting parents who share his beliefs in an ostensibly “independent” and “private” school, simply because his beliefs do not coincide with ever-evolving British “values,” then how is this anything other than brute authoritarianism?
We should consider where exactly the buck stops with regards to the rights of faith groups to determine their own curriculum, and even parents’ rights to homeschool. Are these really guaranteed by a liberal secular system? Or, can such a right to teach Islam only be guaranteed by an Islamic government that fully implements the Sharia of Allah?…
BTeboe says
The biggest problem here is that the Brits don’t understand that Islam is a political system more than it is a religious system. Islam’s goal is to overthrow the govt of whatever country they’re in and replace it with Sharia law. Islam does not assimilate, it eats those who will not submit. So pretending that some Imam is going to teach the secular curriculum of Britain, is ludicrous. Britain would be better served by removing those who would overthrow the British govt and ship them back for them to live with their own kind. Because you are not going to drag 7th cen barbarians into the 21st.
mortimer says
Yes, Islam is a complete socio-political system, not just a religion. Religion is a ‘department’ or ‘ministry’ contained within the Islamic state. Islam defines itself as a ‘deen’ a system of governance and laws. The meaning of ‘deen’ from Dictionary of Islam is:
1) ownership 2) government 3) administration 4) legislative authority 5) subordination to ruler 6) dominance 7) doctrine 8) ideology 9) tradition 10) religion 11) justice 12) accountability

Don’t be ‘shocked’, you Pollyannas. The Islamic views on homosexuality are formed from the writings of the Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad’s Sunnah. It is not only a sin, but a crime under Islamic law.
– Some scholars hold the opinion that homosexuals should be thrown from a high building or stoned to death as a punishment for their crime, but other scholars maintain that they should be imprisoned until death occurs through starvation.
-Some of them (Islamic jurists) said that he should be punished in the same way as an adulterer, so he should be stoned if he is married and flogged if he is not married.
-Another view is that between two males, the active partner is to be lashed a hundred times if he is unmarried, and killed if he is married; whereas the passive partner is to be killed regardless of his marital status.
-Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Abbaas said: The highest point in the town should be found and the homosexual should be thrown head first from it, then stones should be thrown at him.
Ibn ‘Abbaas derived this hadd punishment from the punishment that Allaah sent upon the homosexuals of the people of Loot.
– It is narrated from Khaalid ibn al-Waleed that he found a man among one of the Arab tribes with whom men would have intercourse as with a woman. He wrote to (caliph) Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq (may Allaah be pleased with him) and Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq consulted the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them).
-‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib had the strongest opinion of all of them, and he said: “No one did that but one of the nations, and you know what Allaah did to them. I think that he should be burned with fire.” So Abu Bakr wrote to Khaalid and he had him burned.

Then perhaps it’s the right that should be in bed with islam .. not the left !
mortimer says
AF has a very accurate assessment of Islam’s politics. Islam is actually closer to what the activist media call ‘far-right’.
Islam is very much like a form of fascism.
That is why fascism is the system of governance in practically all Muslim majority countries.
Criteria of Fascism:
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – use of uniforms and other symbols. 2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights. The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. 3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. 4. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. 5. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution. 6. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. 7. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. 8. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions. 9. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. 10. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. 11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked. 12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations. 13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. 14. Fraudulent Elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media.
Ade Fegan says
I was being ironic (I would have thought that was obvious) ..
And I wouldn’t describe islam as being “nationalistic” !
tgusa says
Way back when San Francisco was best known for hippies and LSD my super conservative county, perhaps the most conservative county in the entire country, had an established homosexual community right in the middle of it. You know why that worked out? We all minded our own business. Muslims mind everyone else’s business under threats of violence but other than that, yeah, islam and the right are buddies. Sigh.
Infidel says
Very good point, tgusa!
tgusa says
Thank you Infidel. And the small county was filed with military due to several bases located there. I didn’t need an alarm clock to get up for school because a group of F-4s flew over my bedroom every morning.
Infidel says
San Diego County?
tgusa says
Orange County. Sorry for the late reply.
gravenimage says
Ade, few on the political right in the UK are demanding that gay people be thrown off buildings and stoned to death as Islam calls for. In fact, I have *never* heard of this. Citations?
Wellington says
Interesting, instructive and highly condemning how Islam in theory excoriates homosexuality, even to the point of a horrible death, and yet homosexuality (especially with young boys) is rampant in the Islamic world. Thus revealing again, among so many other errors, what a massive hypocrite and aggregate liar the entire Islamic faith is.
Start with the premise that Islam is not only a mortal enemy of liberty but also as well, par excellence, is hypocritical in the extreme and one will be well on their way to an understanding of what a total bullshit story the entire Islamic faith has been from its inception.
In fact, no bullshit has had a longer life with so many deluded adherents than has Islam. Here it is #1. And may Allah strike me dead tonight (deluded followers of the fictional Allah don’t count) if I am wrong here about the glorious religion which is Islam.
For the record, I don’t see how mankind can be rid of Islam, the most giant mistake in the history of religion, unless tons and tons of Muslims realize they’ve been had and join another faith like Christianity or go to a position of agnosticism or atheism (but please not the militant version of atheism which makes a religion out of not having a religion and which stupidly hates all religions). Yes, this “ridding” of Islam by millions of Muslims themselves must occur if mankind has any chance at a bright future, ditto for ditching Marxism and your standard control-freak authoritarianism.
Frankly, I don’t see how anything could be clearer. And I’ll be back tomorrow because the fictional Allah will not terminate my life tonight. Count on it.
tgusa says
Yes, officials (all over the west) really are that stupid.
gravenimage says
UK officials find it ‘shocking’ that Islamic preacher taught against ‘LGBTQ lifestyle’ and demonized gay men
…………………………………
Anyone shocked by this is deep in denial.
tim gallagher says
That’s it, tgusa. I’m deeply “shocked” that these fools are “shocked” that this Muslim maggot, merely expressing the normal Muslim attitude towards homosexuality, taught such attitudes. As you say, and it beggars belief, we have so many officials in our western countries who are still so gullible and downright stupid. When are some of these idiots going to finally wake the hell up about islam’s nature.
tgusa says
I wont go so far as labeling my adversaries who have been lied to, uninformed, misinformed, malinformed, as maggots. Undesirable people, perhaps? However doing that brings in a whole other question. Who decides who is undesirable?
I can say one thing regarding the leftist islamist alliance. Eventually that will come to an end.
tgusa says
Nevertheless, you pose a good question and I don’t have an answer for that…Yet. But you i and all of us should be thinking ahead.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comment, tgusa. Yes, I dream of a day when all these unbelievably foolish, gullible clowns do wake up to islam and do realise that islam is a clear enemy of all our civilised values and we then, finally, get very tough with all this crap from Muslims. It is a mystery to me how, after all the Muslim terrorist attacks, the Muslim rape gangs in the UK, and all the other barbaric garbage, there are still so many people in authority who can’t see the problem with islam. When it comes to these Muslim hate preacher types, although you are probably right, and I should curb my language a bit, I am unlikely to do so. I find their attitudes loathsome and will probably go right on calling them maggots or other terms of abuse. I suppose that I’m not a moderate person. I do hope that you are right about the leftist-islamic alliance coming to an end one day.
tgusa says
“I should curb my language a bit”
Don’t bother tim. I’m good with it. Heard and said worse in my time.
Infidel says
I don’t know, Tim! Evil as islam is, today’s Left – particularly the LGBTQIA+ crowd is giving them stiff competition. One tries to groom our kids to flip them to islam, and another tries to groom our kids to flip them to their opposite sex. I used to think that nothing can exceed islam in terms of evil, but this movement is giving them stiff competition
tim gallagher says
Yes, you may be right, Infidel. Wjhat i cannot understand with the LGB, etc, mob is how they manage to have so much power and influence. I keep thinking, come on, they are only representing a fairly small number in our societies and yet everybody seems to bow and scrape and pay so much attention to their crap. I suppose the average person, busy with raising their families, doesn’t pay much attention to the crap that is being pushed by these twisted people. I do think that a lot of the LGB,etc, nonsense will be woken up to soon and will be rejected. But I’m often wrong, or maybe I’m just dreaming that that will happen because I’d like that to happen.
Shema says
You answered your own question. What’s next is grooming them to become both together at the same time.
Barbara says
Nobody should be justifying the gay lifestyle, but the problem is that the Islamic solution to sin is always violence
Infidel says
The gay lifestyle is one thing: if 2 men or 2 women decide to sleep w/ each other, I’m happy to leave them alone. Problem is that they have to be in your face and proclaim their marriage and so on
However, the trannie movement is something else. It’s gone from people who had serious biological deformities to trying to entice people, especially kids, to flip their sexes. Given the physiological and psychological damages they do, they are downright evil. While I normally abhor islamic violence, this is one case where I would shove someone off the rooftop of a tall building for trying to indoctrinate kids while concealing those facts from parents. And I’d advocate the same for government officials who do the same
It’s one thing when people are minding their own business. It’s another story when they try to hijack our kids away from us, taking advantage of how busy we are at work
Shema says
“The gay lifestyle is one thing: if 2 men or 2 women decide to sleep w/ each other, I’m happy to leave them alone.”
I used to believe this wholeheartedly, but now am being convinced the tacit tolerance of it is what leads us to what’s going on now with the trans/drag/gay grooming.
The whole “I think he’s gay…., not that there’s anything wrong with that!”
“Problem is that they have to be in your face and proclaim their marriage and so on”
At first it’s tolerance, which turns into acceptance, then submission.
The rest of your comment makes me ask,
Jesus, is that you?
David Foot says
The flag of England is that of the Crusaders and Moslems have been preaching against us since time immemorial. So the Marxist Education Civil Servants of England only worry about LGBTQ rights? NOT protecting English people and their children?
The question is why did they let the Moslem in to England in the first place.
Those raping English young girls with certain OK from Labour Party are only following what Islam teaches them to do and is totally legal according to Sharia! I am sure that the faithful raping Moslem is reciting the verses of the Quran to the unfaithful ENGLISH girl while they are doing the raping!
So these “shocked people” Marxist Civil Servants have done NOTHING to protect our country, they bring these anti-English strangers in to England by the boat load and don’t put them in camps to protect the English, they put them in 4 or 5 star hotels paid for by the English and give them money leaving ALL English people without ANY PROTECTION from the barbarians with their many barbaric laws incompatible with English law (House of Lords 2008!)
In France they live happily in carboard boxes!
I wonder why every day more Moslems keep coming to England from France, with our Crusader flag I wonder why? England ruled by a woman and some eating pork in their “full English breakfasts”?
Do these Moslems come from perfect Moslem societies or do they live in Moslem hell holes with wars and strife? What moves them to dump their functional French cardboard box and to risk everything and come to a 5 star hotel in England? What attracts them? Like the police so many times I can’t find a “motive”!
OUR STUPIDITY is what attracts them!

Hi David We need to follow some of our great Scholars on U tube etc they have introduced some exceptional research revealing the real truth about islam , check out Llod Dejongh he is opening the Sharia Laws and the dark side of Mahamud Iam currently reading the reliance of the traveller which has many such passages for example if you open 12 verse 3 page 610 you will find that this has not been translated into English since scholars prefer that no one sees this verse , I think that Robert Spencer can also reveal many more such passages iwould love to see them for our own reference Lets continue to resist this false Fallacy God Bless

BTEBOE great point .
