The EU has been playing with fire for a long time as its leaders choose to be cowed by the “Islamophobia” subterfuge. Now comes news about children being taught violence and murder of gays in the name of Islam.
Islamic schools that teach Muslim children values which conflict with those of Western societies and otherwise universal understandings of human rights have no place in the West. The only chance to stop the spread of such teachings is to diligently monitor Islamic schools and mosques. However, Western leaders have proven their inability to handle charges of “Islamophobia,” no matter how harmful Sharia is to human rights and freedoms.
Human rights does not mean the trampling of rights for another. Western societies already have a formula firmly in place to protect the rights of all people, but refuse to act upon it amid inane arguments from special interest groups (backed by Leftists).
Western societies protect the rights of all; this is enshrined in their constitutions and criminal codes. It is glaring how these provisions are warped and manipulated so that they come to be applied to one side only, that of the enemies of free and well-ordered societies.
“Europe Grapples with Independent Koran Schools Radicalizing Students,” by Abigail R. Esman, Algemeiner, February 20, 2023:
The exam is multiple choice, with questions about the treatment of enemies — homosexuals, for instance, and unbelievers. How should they be punished, the children are asked: with lashings? Stoning? Killed by the sword?
This is not in the Islamic State, or Taliban-run Afghanistan. It is an exam that has been given for years at some of the Netherlands’ weekend Koran schools, and Education Minister Dennis Wiersma wants it stopped. In November, he proposed a new law that would allow government oversight of these schools.
The exam came to light during a 2019 investigation by newspaper NRC Handelsblad and television news show “Nieuwsuur,” which found that at least half of the country’s independent Koran schools were being run by Salafists, who were actively indoctrinating the students. Salafists generally reject all aspects of modern, Western life, including secularism and secular political states. ISIS is an example of a Salafist group.
According to the investigation, teachers at these schools have praised sharia-based legal systems, warned children to stay away from “enemies” (gays and non-Muslims), and reject Western (and therefore, Dutch) culture completely. “You can better congratulate someone for a murder than wish them a Merry Christmas,” one imam was recorded telling his students.
More recently, Muslim primary schools have also come under fire, not only for spreading radical Islamist ideas and anti-Jewish rhetoric, but for failing to meet standard education requirements and banning such things as music, dance, and art.
Yet despite all this, Wiersma’s colleagues have shown reluctance to approve his proposed bill. More research and debate would be needed, they say, not just into the Islamist threat being posed, but into the proposal’s feasibility. Is such a law even democratic, or does it allow the government to determine how parents raise their children, a possible violation of free speech?
The problem of radicalization in Koran schools and in Islamic day schools is hardly limited to the Netherlands. Officials in Sweden, France, Belgium, Austria, the UK, and elsewhere face similar situations, all of which threaten to shape the culture and ideologies of an entire new generation of Europe’s Muslims.
Yet while Dutch officials hesitate, Sweden is taking more aggressive action. Since 2019, authorities have forced the closure of 17 Muslim day schools, citing concerns over Muslim Brotherhood leadership and efforts to radicalize the students. What’s more, education officials claim, most of the schools fail to meet legal education standards or have simply….

Deciding that a “school” is teaching terror and hate and actions prohibited by the State laws…such as murder, etc….and putting an end to this, is not *infringing on the parent’s rights.*
The parents are free to teach such things inside their homes. Just as other parents teach their kids love, ethics, kindness, etc., the moslums are free to teach hatred and terrorism. And who is to say they don’t?
So many people are in fear of doing the right thing. And others pay a heavy price in the short term, while those supporting, allowing, or otherwise enabling evil, will also pay a heavy price in the long term.

I see these islamic schools around the city that I live in in Australia and I often have thought, imagine the disgusting, evil bullshit, such as hatred of the infidels, that the kids are being taught there. islam is full of hatred and calls for murderous violence so i bet that a hell of a lot of poisonous content is fed into kids’ minds at these schools. But then again, it would be the same at home or at the mosque. islam is the problem. totally incompatible with civilised, tolerant and peaceful life.

Almost every country in the world – barring a few – is in trouble.

” homosexuals, for instance, and unbelievers. How should they be punished, the children are asked: with lashings? Stoning? Killed by the sword?”.
That’s a tough one. What’s the correct answer?
tim gallagher says
Jesper, everything about islam is so primitive including the way it puts human beings to death. It is islam that needs to be killed off. That is the correct answer. Good riddance to barbaric islam.

This is the natural result of our oil addiction. The Saudis embarked on an influence-buying spree to insinuate Islam into our midst. After the 1973 war they started buying chairs in Islamic studies (an oxymoron) at major universities, like Edward Said at Columbia. They own the land under all the mosques popping-up like mushrooms in our midst. They make no bones about their hate of us and our Western culture in general and speak openly about replace it with Sharia. Our response is to turn a deaf ear to the obvious. They’re loud and in-your-face. Like packs of hyenas, gangs of young muslim men (and school-age boys) terrorize us, beating-up our children, our elderly, and above all, Jews. We’ve always had American antisemites but they were effectively controlled–until Obama betrayed us and opened the tap, importing them here wholesale. He thwarted any effort to silenced their torrent of Jew-hatred. He successfully orchestrated the campaign to undermine Trump and his attempt to enforce the laws we already had in-place trend it. Seeing that the door was open, traditional white and black American antisemites were encouraged and antisemitism has exploded here. We can’t fight back because Islamophobia has emasculated us. In 1996, Samuel Huntington warned us about what was happening. I thought 9/11 would bring us to our senses but when Bush called Islam a religion of peace I knew we were in serious trouble. The “progressive” Left (another ship of fools) took up their cause and the UK, which did nothing to stop Muslim “grooming gangs’ from raping its young girls, banned Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller as “racists.”. We could easily put an end to this scourge but we’ve lost our collective will, having been cowed by the Islamophobia nonsense. How stupid are we? The Enlightenment has had a good run but God helps those who help themselves, so maybe the West and its values deserves to die.
