Hardline Muslims Tried to Impose Islam in British City's Schools: Government Report

LONDON — A British government inquiry has found that hardline Muslims tried to impose an "intolerant and aggressive" Islamic agenda on some schools in the city of Birmingham, including separation of boys and girls in lessons and banning Christmas celebrations.

Some of the majority-Moslem schools invited speakers with known extremist views to assemblies and promoted organizations that would be categorized as 'extremist' under government classifications, according to the report by Peter Clarke, former head of London Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command.

Hardline Muslims also tried to force schools to install governors and teachers who would support a conservative Islamic religious agenda.

"There has been co-ordinated, deliberate and sustained action, carried out by a number of associated individuals, to introduce an intolerant and aggressive Islamic ethos into a few schools in Birmingham," Clarke said.

He said he had not looked for evidence of terrorism, radicalization or violent extremism, and he had not found any during the course of his investigation.

But he found "a number of people, associated with each other and in positions of influence in schools and governing bodies, who espouse, endorse or fail to challenge extremist views."

Birmingham, in the English Midlands and the country's second largest city, has a substantial Muslim population due to immigration from Pakistan, Bangladesh and India. The report, released on Tuesday, cited instances where pupils were banned from singing and listening to music, and forbidden to draw faces in art classes.

The liberals in Londonistan are the first to bow down before the Muslims. They’ve imported them by the boat load and gave them the keys to the castle.

There’s yer problem right thar!

The sooner Britain get’s out of the EU the better. It may already be too late.

Britain has little ability to regulate immigration under EU laws.

Muslims will soon take over England if they don’t act soon.
