Panorama: British schools Islamic rules



In his investigation into what is being taught in Muslim faith schools in Britain, reporter John Ware uncovered a loophole in the regulation system when it comes to part-time schools and clubs that operate on weekends and after school. Panorama's investigation discovered that around 5,000 Muslim children attending a network of 40 Saudi Students' Schools and Clubs are being taught the Saudi national curriculum. John also uncovered a worrying trend towards separatism among some private Muslim full-time schools in the UK at a time when the number of Muslim schools is on the increase. The programme, British Schools, Islamic Rules reveals disturbing evidence that some Muslim children are being exposed to extremist preachers and fundamentalist Islamic groups. The film asks why school inspectors have missed the warning signs over elements of this teaching and examines the impact this could have on young Muslims' ability to integrate into mainstream British life. Join in the debate and let us know what you think about the programme. Please leave your comments on our blog forum here. PART1 PART2

This relatively moderate exposé merely hints at the cancerous tumor of Saudi state funding for this international Wahhabist propaganda mission. The Saudis are inexhautibly wealthy and will continue to spread the malignant doctrines of their medieval religious revival as long as westerners allow it.
