Gandalf wasn't happy about me derailing the "Australian Federation of Islamic School Rorts" thread with these controversial articles, so here is a thread especially for them. Please consider this thread a dumping ground for relevant articles - a bit like the usual suspects thread. But make sure they are relevant or Gandalf will be onto you.

Soren wrote on Apr 10th, 2014 at 8:45pm: Lindsey Clark, the respected executive head of Park View, one of the Birmingham schools targeted in the alleged "Trojan Horse" plot by Muslim radicals, has confirmed that she is to retire. She becomes the fifth non-Muslim headteacher to leave one of the schools linked to the plot over the last six months. The others are Balwant Bains (Saltley), Tina Ireland (Regent's Park), Bhupinder Kondal (Oldknow),  and Peter Slough (Small Heath). A sixth head, Golden Hillock's Matthew Scarrott, left a little earlier. Mrs Clark's retirement, first revealed by me three weeks ago, was confirmed in the school’s spring term newsletter, published online yesterday. As I have described, the replacement of secular, non-Muslim heads has been a key goal of the radicals leading the campaign. Mrs Clark, who was awarded the OBE last year for her work in taking Park View to the highest Ofsted ranking, “outstanding,” in 2012, told Ofsted inspectors probing her school last month that she had been marginalised by Tahir Alam, the hardline chair of governors at Park View, and the school’s principal, effectively its number two, Mohammed “Moz” Hussain. The school’s leadership and management have now been dropped to “inadequate” by Ofsted in a report expected soon. As we reported on Sunday, a former department head at Park View, Nigel Sloan, says he witnessed Mr Hussain giving “mind-blowing anti-Western propaganda” assemblies to pupils at the school, including claims that the Americans were “the evil in the world” and “the cause of all famine.” Mr Hussain is now a candidate to replace Mrs Clark. The same issue of the newsletter includes an attack by Dave Hughes, Park View Education Trust’s only non-Muslim director, on Mr Sloan – essentially the predictable charge of racism that the school’s defenders have been wheeling out since the beginning. Mr Hughes is also booked on BBC WM radio this morning to spread the word that it’s all Islamophobic lies. It’s not very surprising, perhaps, that a member of the leadership team branded “inadequate” should dispute his own inadequacy. Interestingly, however, for all its huffing and puffing, Mr Hughes’ article doesn’t specifically deny the charge that Nigel Sloan makes. Just thought I’d point that out. PS  Park View’s newsletters are always good value – last term’s (p17) was where I found out that the school hosted an extremist preacher, Sheikh Shady al-Suleiman, at "an extended Islamic assembly" on 28 November. As well as organising an event with the al-Qaeda ideologue, Anwar al-Awlaki, the good Sheikh believes in the death penalty for extramarital sex – and don’t even get him started on gays! Just the man to back up Mr Hughes’ claim that Park View is “preparing [its pupils] for multicultural Britain.” http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/andrewgilligan/100266975/outstanding-head-teacher-allegedly-targeted-by-muslim-radicals-confirms-that-shes-retiring/

Gay teacher who writes books challenging homophobia has resigned after parents complained they did not want him to teach their children     Dispute at Chilwell Croft Academy mainly involved Muslim parents     Andrew Moffat resigned from the Birmingham primary school in December     He said some Christian parents also complained about him     Challenging Homophobia in Primary Schools has been used in lessons http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2598231/Gay-teacher-writes-books-challenging-homophobia-resigned-parents-complained-did-not-want-teach-children.html#ixzz2yIAxTShP A gay assistant head teacher has been forced to resign after Muslim parents complained that they did not want their children learning that it’s OK to be homosexual. The dispute at Birmingham’s Chilwell Croft Academy, which mainly involved Muslim parents, is the latest controversy surrounding a secular state school in the city. Andrew Moffat, who resigned from the primary school in December and will leave his post this month, said some Christian parents had also complained. But fellow teachers are concerned that the respected teacher may have been the victim of an alleged plot by Muslim extremists to force non-Muslim teachers out and replace them with hardliners. Last month a letter was circulated referring to a ‘Trojan Horse’ plot for Muslim extremists to take over the running of schools in Birmingham. The authenticity of the letter is unclear but its very existence led to a flood of allegations from parents and staff at several schools . At least 12 schools are under now investigation by the Department for Education (DfE) following allegations that strict Islamic practices have been introduced there. Mr Moffat has written several articles and books on homophobia in schools, in which he makes recommendations of how to teach children how to be tolerant. One book, entitled Challenging Homophobia in Primary Schools, has been used in literacy lessons for 10 and 11-year-olds, including those at Chilwell Croft. One suggested lesson plan describes a picnic at which gay families are guests. Pupils are encouraged to treat all the picnic guests equally. Mr Moffat, who worked at the school for five years, also trained teachers on how to prevent homophobic bullying. ‘In my work I have met with some challenging views from different sections of the community,’ he said. ‘Some Christian and some Muslim parents have told me they don’t want their children learning that it’s OK to be gay. ‘I did come out at school in an assembly after a group of 11-year-olds held up a poster they made, with the heading “Gay is good”. It seemed like the right time to let the children know that they knew a gay person. ‘Following my coming out, some parents from different communities complained to the school, but I maintain that my decision was the right one at that time.’ The Department of Health's publication called Stand up for us: Challenging homophobia in schools +4 The Department of Health's publication called Stand up for us: Challenging homophobia in schools Mr Moffat has now accepted another teaching position outside Birmingham. Liam Nolan, the high- profile gay head teacher at Perry Beeches Academy in Birmingham, told the Sunday Times he had been ‘incredibly shocked that an assistant head teacher who was doing incredible work around relationship education had been intimidated by a small group of what are being seen as extremists in the city’. He added: ‘The Muslim community is being allowed to influence government legislation around equality.’ But Chris McGovern, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, said schools had a duty to tell parents before introducing literature that some might object to on religious grounds. ‘If parents are coming from a particular religious group, whether it is Islamic or Christian, and they have a concern at what they might consider the promotion of homosexuality, the school’s position should be made clear to them. ‘We are certainly not trying to silence people who want to discuss questions of sexuality but with young children this is quite complicated territory,’ he said. Schools under investigation by the DfE in Birmingham include Park View Academy, where senior teachers have been accused of praising senior Al-Qaeda figure Anwar al-Awlaki during assemblies. The school also faces allegations of nepotism and misuse of public funds to pay for loudspeakers to call pupils to prayer. Chilwell Croft and Mr Moffat said they did not believe that the school’s ‘recent discussions with parents . . . are in any way connected with the Trojan Horse investigation’. In a statement, the school added: ‘A minority group of parents . . . objected to some of the resource books being used in literacy lessons with some of the oldest children in the school, which explored relationships in different families. ‘The . . . objections were primarily voiced by those whose own religion took an opposing stance to homosexuality.’ http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/04/07/article-2598231-1CE3433B00000578-490_306x423.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/04/06/article-2598231-1CE30D3200000578-137_634x447.jpg http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/04/06/article-2598231-1CE30B0A00000578-86_306x434.jpg

That's off-topic Karnal. Better start a new thread on Christians undermining the education system. TC will show you the way.

True, FD. He had the hide to start a thread about Catholic paedophiles stepping in on Mo's racket. Can you believe it?

Just to be sure though, are you posting about the undermining of education systems, or who does the undermining?

Please explain.

Gandalf does this mean I have to start a new thread if I want to post about Muslims undermining the education system in, say, Afghanistan?

You didn't answer the question, FD. What are you trying to hide?

Different topics should be in different threads.

For example a story about muslims lobbying to have a gay teacher removed from a school in the UK is a different topic to allegations about an islamic school rorting public funds.

If Muslims steal millions of dollars from Australian Muslim schools, does that count as meddling in western schools?

Seeing as Freediver has mentioned 'Western' schools, perhaps we could look at Christian and their attempts to get prayers into secular schools and change the secular curriculum to exclude teaching of evolution.

Moderator, ban this Muselman. This is the Islam board, after all.

Exactly. You won’t see any Philippinos or Indians in rich Middle Eastern countries. Apparently your oil-rich Muselman prefers to do all the dirty work himself.

No Jews or Yanks working in the financial sector in Malaysia and Indonesia either. Those developing Muselmen prefer to run their own companies and raise their own money.

I blame Islam. Typical.
