Muslim Schools In Britain Teach Kids How To Chop Off a Thief's Hand (and Other Fun Lessons)

(if you can't see movie above click here)

A network of Muslim Schools in Great Britain teach a very interesting curriculum. You know the important things that you just gotta know to be a proud member of the "religion of peace," like how to chop off the hands of thieves’ and that Jews are plotting to take over the world.

Approximately 5,000 pupils attending weekend Muslim religious schools to learn that  Jews were transformed into pigs and apes, and that stoning is an accepted punishment or that those who do not believe in Islam will be condemned to “hellfire” in death.

Another text for 15 year-olds teaches that thieves who break Sharia law should have their hands cut off for a first offence and their feet amputated for a subsequent crime. Teenagers are presented with diagrams showing where the cuts should be made.

A TV special on the BBC, reports that books containing lessons such as these were discovered at a network of 40 private schools teaching the Saudi Arabian national curriculum.The report even links those schools Saudi embassy. The TV Program shows these private Muslim schools using these extremist teachings on their websites.

Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, said last night that extremism, homophobia and anti-Semitism would not be tolerated in schools.

However, researchers claimed in a separate report that the education system was “not equipped” to deal with the threats posed by extremist organisations. The Policy Exchange think-tank said the Coalition’s new free schools, run by parents, teachers and charities, could be exploited by organisations seeking to indoctrinate young people. It also claimed that checks on groups running private schools were “piecemeal, partial and lack depth”. Mr Gove said Ofsted had been ordered to monitor part-time education providers closely.

The schools featured on the program were organized under an umbrella group called Saudi Students Clubs and Schools in the UK and Ireland. They are kind of a Muslim "Sunday School," meant to give Muslim children aged six to 18 a grounding the Islamic faith.

Gee we were never taught to chop off hands in Hebrew School (not even how to Chop Liver).

According to the BBC, a book for 15 year-olds teaches about Sharia law and its punishments. “For thieves their hands will be cut off for a first offence, and their foot for a subsequent offence,” it says. Two diagrams show where cuts should be made.

For acts of sodomy, children are told that the penalty is death. A textbook says there are different views on whether this should be done by stoning, or burning with fire, or throwing over a cliff. Textbooks for 15 year-olds revive the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” which teach that Jews want world domination.

In a statement, the Saudi embassy said: “Any tutoring activities that may have taken place among any other group of Muslims in the United Kingdom are absolutely individual to that group and not affiliated to or endorsed by the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia.” The Saudi Ambassador told the BBC it was “dangerously deceptive and misleading” to discuss some of the texts outside of context.

I can't imagine a context where a curriculum like this isn't totally disgusting.
