UK: Muslim School Ordered to Shred Hate Textbooks Made Photocopies Before Shredding....
The books contained the usual garbage taught to Muslim kids, Jews are "monkeys" and Christians are "pigs".....
A London school attended by the children of notorious hate preachers, including jailed cleric Abu Hamza, poisoned its pupils' minds with racist lessons of hate, an ex-teacher has claimed.
Colin Cook, who formerly taught English at the King Fahad Academy in Acton, West London, told a tribunal how pupils as young as five were taught from Arabic textbooks describing Jews as "monkeys" and Christians as "pigs".
Under public pressure, the academy agreed to destroy the books - but not before photocopying them for future use, he told the Watford tribunal.
He also claimed that headteacher Dr Sumaya Alyusuf had given a false assurance that the school did not use objectionable parts of the book.
Dr Alyusuf said on BBC's Newsnight: "There are chapters from these books that are used and that will serve our objectives. But we don't teach hatred towards Judaism or Christianity - on the contrary."
But Mr Cook told the tribunal: "I discovered that race hate was being taught in textbooks at the academy.
"The race hate included test questions asking pupils to list the reprehensible qualities of Jews and described Christians as 'pigs'. It was appalling."
Father-of-three Mr Cook, 58, of Feltham, is claiming unfair dismissal, race discrimination and victimisation, which the school denies.
The tribunal heard that pupils at the private Muslim faith school included the five children of jailed, hook-handed cleric Abu Hamza and those of Abu Qatada, alleged to be Osama bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe.
Mr Cook said that when he queried how the preachers could pay school fees when they were on state benefits, he was told to mind his own business.
The tribunal heard that some pupils "talked as if they did not live in London at all", while some made "inappropriate" remarks about killing Americans, praised al Qaeda leader bin Laden and the September 11 attacks.
