Muslim school found with books promoting stoning says it’s a victim of “Islamophobia”

This is the world we live in: a Muslim school is found to have books suggesting stoning and lashing as appropriate punishments because Islamic law prescribes stoning and lashing as appropriate punishments. British authorities, on discovering this, are shocked, because they are bound by the Officially Mandated Cluelessness to believe that Islamic law does not prescribe stoning and lashing as appropriate punishments, just as they must affirm the unquestionable dogma that Islam is a Religion of Peace. When they upbraid the school for this, the school officials do not and cannot say that they were wrong, and that the book should not be there, and that Islamic law does not prescribe stoning and lashing as appropriate punishments. Nor do any other Muslims step up to say that the book should not be there, because stoning and lashing are not appropriate punishments under Islamic law.

So instead, school officials say that they’re victims of “hostility” and “Islamophobia,” no doubt knowing that to be accused of “Islamophobia” in Absurd Britannia is to be consigned to the outer darkness, where men will weep and gnash their teeth and be banned from the country. They do this in an attempt to deflect attention from their advocacy for Sharia in Britain, and to claim the protected victim status that will exempt them from unwelcome scrutiny. If it works this time, Britain is definitively done for.

“Books ‘promoting stoning’ found at Olive Tree Primary School,” BBC, June 9, 2014 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):

A Muslim school found to have books suggesting stoning and lashing as appropriate punishments says it is the victim of “hostility”.

Ofsted said some of the library books at Olive Tree Primary School in Luton contained fundamentalist views which had “no place in British society”.

The education watchdog deemed Olive Tree Primary School in Bury Park Road “inadequate” following a visit in May.

Farasat Latif, chairman of governors, said he rejected Ofsted’s findings.

Last month’s inspection was abandoned when parents complained their children had been asked about homosexuality.

But Ofsted said it had already gained “sufficient evidence” to produce a report.

Inspectors said pupils’ “contact with different cultures, faiths and traditions is too limited to promote tolerance and respect for the views, lifestyles and customs of other people”.

Senior leaders do not ensure “balanced views of the world” and some books in the school promote stoning and lashing as appropriate punishments, the report added.

“There are too few books about the world’s major religions other than Islam,” it said.

But Mr Latif said: “Ofsted came into the school looking for problems of extremism and intolerance and didn’t find any.

“They carried out a half-baked inspection, which they abandoned half-way through.

“We are the victims of the extreme politics of Michael Gove whose ignorance of Islam is matched by his hostility. Many Muslims will feel alienated and victims of state Islamaphobia.

“We are a small school with 65 children and got 100 per cent on our SATS last year. We are involved with charities, like Dr Barnados which is not a Muslim charity.”

He said the school was considering taking legal action against the report. They were waiting to hear if it is to be put into special measures.

Mr Latif said: “We have a large number of books about different faiths, which inspectors failed to to notice, including The Diary of Ann Frank.”

The school must now act to meet key standards for independent schools.

These include ensuring the curriculum “better prepares [pupils] for living in modern Britain… in line with the laws of the land” and having library books with “balanced and tolerant views which reflect British democratic values”.

The report’s findings come on the same day the head of Ofsted Sir Michael Wilshaw delivered his findings on claims of hardline Muslim takeovers at Birmingham schools with five of the schools being placed in special measures.
