This is no surprise. Islamic supremacists never, ever take responsibility for the evils perpetrated by Islamic jihadists. They always deflect responsibility to the victims, the Infidels. What is surprising is that British officialdom is shocked by all these revelations — why should they be? This is the situation that for years they have aided and abetted and done everything they could to bring about. This is the Britain of Blair, Brown and Cameron. They made it. They have to live in it.
“Teachers at Muslim Trojan Horse school sent WhatsApp messages claiming Lee Rigby’s murder and Boston bombing were HOAXES, inquiry reveals,” by Matt Chorley and Lucy Crossley, Daily Mail, July 22, 2014:
Teachers at the centre of the ‘Trojan Horse’ plot to takeover Birmingham schools exchanged messages that the murder of soldier Lee Rigby was a hoax, it emerged today.
A damning report into Birmingham schools has unearthed ‘compelling evidence’ of an attempt by a group of hardline Muslims ‘to gain control of governing bodies’, Education Secretary Nicky Morgan said.
The investigation, led by former anti-terror chief Peter Clarke, revealed details of a WhatsApp group called The Park View Brotherhood which also included a description of homosexuals as ‘animals’ with ‘satanic ways’.
Mr Clarke was called in to investigate claims that schools in Birmingham were taken over in a plot to impose hardline Islamic rule. His was one of four inquiries into the allegations.
During his probe he was handed a dossier of more than 3,000 messages posted in the WhatsApp group from April 2013 until it was shut down in March.
Some of the messages suggested the brutal murder of Liee Rigby and the Boston Marathon bombings were both faked.
One post above a YouTube link attributed to someone identified as Teacher L on 24 May last year said: ‘ATTACK ON ISLAM! Plz watch and share ASAP before they remove it!!!!! London butcher incident; It’s is a hoax And this is the link to reveal it.’
A message sent by Teacher C on 19 April said: ‘Watch PROOF! Boston Marathon Bombing is Staged Terror Attack on YouTube.’
The ‘core contributors’ to the group were identified as mainly teachers at either Park View School or other schools within the Park View Educational Trust and all were men.
The report said the group was established by Monzoor Hussain, the acting Principal at Park View, while Razwan Faraz, a former teacher at the school, was allegedly one of the two ‘most prolific’ contributors.
Mr Hussain confirmed that he set up the forum but said the purpose was solely to discuss items that could be included in school assemblies, Mr Clarke said.
He added: ‘A number of topics are discussed, often by a small group of contributors, which reveal the members’ attitudes towards education, homosexuality and gay marriage.
‘There is also an undercurrent of anti-Western sentiment, explicit antagonism towards the British military, a sceptical reaction to news of terrorist attacks (Lee Rigby and the Boston bombings), and numerous links posted to extremist speakers.’
In May last year Mr Faraz allegedly posted a link to a news article about gay marriage followed by the message: ‘These animals are going out full force. As teachers we must be aware and counter their satanic ways of influencing young people.’
CHILDREN TAUGHT NOT TO QUESTION HARDLINE ISLAM
The report by Peter Clarke highlighted revealed details of concerns raised by witnesses about the impact on pupils:
Teachers feared that children are learning to be intolerant of difference and diversity
While good academic results could be achieved by narrowing the curriculum, this meant that young people were not getting a broad education, and instead their horizons are narrowed
There was evidence of young people being encouraged to ‘adopt an unquestioning attitude to a particular hardline strand of Sunni Islam’Mr Clarke found that there had been ‘co-ordinated, deliberate and sustained action’ by a number of individuals to introduce an ‘intolerant and aggressive Islamic ethos’ into a few schools in the city.
This had been achieved in some schools by gaining influence on the governing bodies, installing ‘sympathetic’ headteachers and senior staff, appointing ‘like- minded’ people to key positions and removing heads who were not ‘compliant’ with a particular agenda.
In a statement to the Commons today, Mrs Morgan told MPs: ‘What Peter Clarke found is disturbing. His report sets out compelling evidence of a determined effort by people with a shared ideology to gain control of the governing bodies of a small number of schools in Birmingham.
‘Teachers have said they fear children are learning to be intolerant of difference and diversity. Instead of enjoying a broadening and enriching experience in school, young people are having their horizons narrowed and are being denied the opportunity to flourish in a modern multicultural Britain.
‘There has been no evidence of direct radicalisation or violent extremism.
‘But there is a clear account in the report of people in positions of influence in these schools, with a restricted and narrow interpretation of their faith, who have not promoted fundamental British values and who have failed to challenge the extremist views of others.’
Mr Clarke said he ‘neither specifically looked for, nor found, evidence of terrorism, radicalisation or violent extremism in the schools of concern in Birmingham’.
But the report went on: ‘The existence of a common ideological stance among key linked individuals in this enquiry, the taking of control of governing bodies and the implementation of conservative religious practices in the schools where these individuals have influence, means that there can be no doubt that what has happened has been driven by a desire to instil a particular style of religious ethos into these state non-faith schools.’
The report was also highly critical of Birmingham City Council.
It found the authority was ‘aware of the practices and behaviours that were subsequently outlined in the ‘Trojan Horse’ letter long before the letter surfaced’.
The report continued: ‘Officers have conceded that it did not consider carefully enough nor soon enough the question of whether there was a pattern in what was happening across a number of schools.’
Instead, the council was said to have persisted in approaching incidents ‘on a case-by-case basis’.
Mr Clarke’s report is the last of four separate probes into the allegations in Birmingham.
The row was originally sparked by the ‘Trojan Horse’ letter – now widely believed to be a hoax – which referred to an alleged plot by hardline Muslims to seize control of a number of school governing boards in Birmingham.
HOAX UNEARTHED THE TRUTH
School inspections in Birmingham were triggered by a mysterious letter which described ‘Operation Trojan Horse’ – an apparent plot by Muslim fundamentalists to take over the city’s schools.
It was passed to Birmingham City Council, head teachers, teaching unions and media outlets, sparking four separate investigations, two of which – by Ofsted and the Department for Education – have now reported.
Purportedly written as a guide for fellow hardliners in Bradford, the unsigned and undated letter is now widely seen as an elaborate hoax.
But Ofsted has now found genuine evidence of an ‘organised campaign’ to change the character of some schools, while calling for further investigation to substantiate claims of ‘organised infiltration and manipulation of governing bodies’.
Mr Clarke’s conclusions differ from those contained in Ian Kershaw’s inquiry for Birmingham City Council, which found there was no evidence of a ‘conspiracy to promote an anti-British agenda, violent extremism or radicalisation in schools in east Birmingham’.
Mr Kershaw’s inquiry concluded that key individuals were ‘promoting and encouraging certain Islamic principles’ in Birmingham classrooms amid poor oversight from education chiefs.
Last month Ofsted issued a damning verdict on the running of a number of Birmingham’s schools as it declared five failing and placed them into special measures.
The watchdog inspected 21 schools in the city, concluding that a ‘culture of fear and intimidation’ has developed in some schools and, in several, governors exerted ‘inappropriate influence’ over how they are being run.
The five placed in special measures as a result of the recent inspections are Golden Hillock School, Nansen Primary School and Park View Academy – all run by the Park View Educational Trust (PVET), as well as Oldknow Academy and Saltley School. A sixth, Alston Primary, was already in special measures.
The Education Funding Agency has also conducted its own inquiry, publishing highly critical reports on PVET and Oldknow Academy.
Earlier a Labour frontbencher claimed schools in Birmingham are as deeply divided as the Balkans.
Liam Byrne, Labour’s universities spokesman and an MP in Birmingham, accused the government of using ‘divisive rhetoric’ to fuel ‘culture wars’ in the education system….
Yes, surrender is less “Islamophobic.”
