In the Sunday Times, I came across the rather worrying revelation, that the Islamic Shaksiyahan Foundation, an organisation run by members of the extremist group Hizb ut-Tahrir, is itself running two schools in Britain - one in Haringey, North London, and the other in Slough. Hizb ut-Tahrir has as its primary aim the establishment of a worldwide Islamic caliphate, run according to the principles of Sharia law, and this is reflected in the curriculum at the two schools:
According to the Islamic Shaksiyah Foundation’s curriculum document, children aged 7-8 are taught “our rules and laws come from Allah” and asked to contrast Islam with “other belief systems where human beings make rules”. At age 9-10 children should be taught: “There must be one khali-fah [ruler of the caliphate].”I'd also be interested to hear what their history syllabus is like, given that it's written by a woman named Themina Ahmed, whose previous writings include the following:
The world will, insha-Allah, witness the death of the criminal capitalist nation of America and all other [infidel] states when the army of jihad is unleashed upon them.It really is quite worrying that we are allowing, not merely the formation within our country of Islamic schools, but the formation within our country of Islamic schools which teach support for two things, the caliphate and Sharia law, which stand in direct opposition to our traditional way of life. That a woman who apparently supports the violent destruction of Britain and other western nations is involved in a prominent role in formulating the school curriculum is also what some might just possibly regard as cause for concern. There is a debate, which has been ongoing for some time, about whether Hizb ut-Tahrir should be banned, and I would say that, regardless of whether or not Hizb is closed down, these schools (or, to phrase it more accurately, 'brainwashing centres') definitely should be.
