A Christian teacher yesterday claimed he was forced out of his job after complaining that Muslim pupils as young as eight hailed the September 11 hijackers as heroes.
Nicholas Kafouris, 52, is suing his former school for racial discrimination.
He told a tribunal that he had to leave his £30,000-a-year post because he would not tolerate the 'racist' and 'anti-Semitic' behaviour of Year 4 pupils.
The predominantly Muslim youngsters openly praised Islamic extremists in class and described the September 11 terrorists as 'heroes and martyrs'.
One pupil said: 'Don't touch me, you're a Christian' when he brushed against him.
Others said: 'We want to be Islamic bombers when we grow up', and 'The Christians and Jews are our enemies - you too because you're a Christian'.
Mr Kafouris, a Greek Cypriot, taught for 12 years at Bigland Green Primary School in Tower Hamlets, East London.
According to Ofsted 'almost all' its 465 pupils are from ethnic minorities and a vast proportion do not speak English as a first language.

Racism claim: Nicholas Kafouris arriving at the tribunal hearing
He says the lack of support from the school has made him clinically depressed and unable to work. He was sacked in April last year.
Year 4 pupils? (Fourth grade?)
What a scary place to work!
Teachers who have ethical and/or ethnically motivated issues with students are being offered less and less support by their school’s administration as time goes on.
Even if Britain has an organization equivalent to our ACLU, I imagine they won’t take the case because they themselves are lefties, possibly even open communists.
We had better wake up. The next generation is being groomed.
I was in London last summer.
Vast numbers of unassimilated nasty unbathed obnoxious muslims (in full burkas,etc), especially over by the Eye and infesting the River Thames Embankment.
The Socialist/Labour Party is insane for letting these anti-British Islamists into the UK.
I don’t buy this race terminology that the British press is so obsessed with. Jews, Arabs, and Anglo-Saxons are not races. They are all Caucasian. Christians and Muslims are certainly not races.
This is a religious struggle with Muslims trying to force their system on others as they have been doing for 1500 years. Left-liberals are in such denial about this that they desperately try to recast it as a racial issue.
Regardless of what religion, Christians will always be prosecuted here.
“Regret to inform it’s already underway here. It’s why my wife and most of her colleagues recently left their positions with the public school system. Parent-teachers conferences grew confrontational, and increasingly abusive (verbally and physically). Their demands that the system accomodate their religious beliefs became intolerable. “
And don’t count on the union...er nea to back their play....
GREAT TAGLINE!!!!!!!!
The Brits continue to circle the drain.
A large part of the problem could be solved if England could unshackle herself from Scotland. I’m not just talking about the immense drain on resources because of the lazy Scots, but far more importantly, because of Scottish support for a Labour Party which is largely responsible for the terrible things happening today in England.
Yup. Exactly so. Send those socialist buggers off to drown in their own stupidity.

Hey RATs!
This is proof that we are indeed at war with Islam...the Religion of Peace...whether you like it or not.
Passive resistance gets you nowhere good. A teacher who merely performed some symbolic protest would get fired, possibly arrested, unable to find another job, harassed, swamped by legal bills, terrorized...and demonized.
The only passive resistance that might work is if large numbers of people quit supporting the govt economically. And it would appear that there aren’t sufficient numbers in gutless GB.
free speech in the UK, doesn’t exist.
It seems we have a group of radicals who state what people should say and think and if one does not go wit that then get rid of them .
Uh, correct me if I am wrong, wasn’t it the British who insisted on keeping Scotland under their control against their wishes so long ago? What was all that Braveheart stuff about?
My surname is an English one but of Norman origin and it has been known in Scotland since at least the 1500s so I don’t know where I belong in this fuss.
