LONDON (UPI) -- An Islamic school in England has been accused of poisoning the minds of its pupils with textbooks that portray Jews as "apes" and Christians as "pigs."

The charges against the King Fahad Academy in Acton were made by Colin Cook, 57, a former English teacher and Muslim convert, The Daily Mail reports.

Cook says the school where he taught for 19 years was very good until 2005 when the majority of British teachers left.

Cook says he was told, "This is not England. This is Saudi Arabia," when he complained to school management about the content of the curriculum and questioned whether it complied with British law.

He says he was fired after reporting that the school covered up cheating on national exams.

Cook has filed suit against the school for unfair dismissal, race discrimination and victimization.

...Colin Cook, 57, a former English teacher and Muslim convert...

Another lib fool. Wonder if he'll renounce his religion now? No, I doubt that will happen.

Aha, Sounds like that school needs to be visited by a Scottish Soccer team , along with some fans from Glasgow.

Minorities can't be racist or hateful. Haven't you ever heard of slavery? Jim Crow?

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

There are too many indoctrination centers for the violent ideology of death and destruction. All must be closed and the hateful occupants must be deported.

[Melinda]

More Colins are needed to bring them into court everywhere they try this.

[BuffaloJack]

Nothing will happen until the world is rid of political correctness.

So as a muslim trying to fight radicalism, will he recieve the help of the UK's CAIR-like organizations?
This is a litmus test to the integrity of all of the "moderate" muslim organizations that want our trust.

I don't believe this.

islam is the religion of peace.

islam would not denigrate another religion, particularly the Jewish or Christian religion.

islam is tolerant of all other religions and the koran teaches such tolerance.

Right?

Right?

Hellloooo!

Right?

Cook says he was told, "This is not England. This is Saudi Arabia,"

Sounds just like an American High School student.

Raided Islamic school closed down

Jameah Islameah School in East Sussex has been closed

An independent Islamic school raided by police as part of an anti-terror operation last year has been closed by the Government, ministers have announced.

The Jameah Islameah School in Mark Cross, near Crowborough, East Sussex, was shut down after the school failed to follow an improvement action plan.

It is now illegal for the school, which was raided by police last September, to continue to operate, the Department for Education and Skills said.

Schools minister Jim Knight said: "It is important that parents and the wider public are assured that all schools - whether in the maintained or independent sector - provide their pupils with a suitable education, and that we will take strong action against those that are failing."

The DfES said the school had been deleted from the Register of Independent Schools and faces prosecution if it continues to operate.

Ofsted conducted a series of inspections at the school after concerns were raised. The school was then required to follow an action plan to address failings.

The DfES said the school had failed to meet the action plan and was also struggling through lack of pupils - a situation which was thought likely to continue.

Mr Knight went on: "In the past three years more than 45 independent schools have shut down as a consequence of this Government's tough approach.

"However, the Government remains keen to support the delivery of high quality education by schools in the independent sector.

"The recent Education and Inspection Act 2006 will make it easier for independent schools to enter the state sector to improve standards. The Government has funded the Association of Muslim Schools to advise independent Muslim schools interested in joining the state sector."
