“Calls for expired Swedish school permits to be axed after ISIS school exploits loophole,” by Nicky Harley, The Local, September 18, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Politicians in Sweden are calling for tougher measures on school permits after a controversial school with links to the Muslim Brotherhood exploited a loophole.
The Romosseskolan school, which runs Muslim independent schools, sparked controversy when it announced it was expanding into an education building that was shut down after allegedly employing former ISIS fighters as teachers.
Earlier this year it was accused of gender segregation in lessons and faced criticism over its policy of not allowing pupils a choice over whether they attended prayer sessions.
It had been awarded a permit in 2015 prior to these incidents to create a new school which expired in 2017.
However, it has been allowed to use the permit as school officials believed they would fail in a court bid to reject the continued use of it as they claim they had not made the timetable for its use clear.
Sweden’s Liberal party school policy spokesman Roger Haddad is now calling for an overhaul of the system which bans the use of old permits and takes the school governance into account.
The principal of the Romosseskolan school, Abdirizak Waberi, is also the former president of the Federation of Islamic Organisations, which is believed to be the European arm of the Muslim Brotherhood….
The Romosseskolan school plans to open a new school in the former state-funded Islamic Vetenskapsskolan school in Gothenburg, which was closed last year after it was accused of hiring ISIS fighters as teachers after their return from Syria.
In 2018 it had successfully appealed in court against a decision by the inspectorate to reject its request to open a school in the city of Boras….
The Vetenskapsskolan school was closed in December and had its permit withdrawn over radicalisation concerns.
It was claimed that one member of the school’s new board had shared ISIS propaganda online and four former ISIS fighters allegedly taught in the school, along with another man who had been accused of soliciting funds for terrorism.
