UK Batley Grammar School teacher still in hiding after threats over Prophet cartoon

A teacher who went into hiding because of protests and threats against him for showing a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad has still not returned to his home or job.

Last month an independent inquiry into the incident at Batley Grammar School, West Yorkshire, found that the teacher had not meant to cause offence when the image was shown in his religious studies lesson.

The teacher was suspended in March.

Following an investigation, his suspension was lifted, but the West Yorkshire teacher, who continues to remain in hiding with his family, has refused to return to the school over fears for his life, MailOnline reports.

It is understood two other staff members, who were also suspended, have refused to return to the school after the suspension was lifted because of similar fears.

The grammar school is now using supply teachers to cover its RE department.Supporters of a teacher living in fear of his life following a row over a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad have raised nearly £50,000 for him, his partner and their children.

A recent, anonymous donation pushed the fundraising for the Batley Grammar School teacher to almost £48,000.

Given a chance, the police will find him dead with 32 knife wounds from some wasteoid from the teacher’s union telling everyone it was an honor killing.

When Christ returns it will not require imagination.

Islam is the premier expression of the spirit of Antichrist at this time and seems the likely context from which the actual Antichrist may arise.

I’ve speculated that the Mahdi some Muslims are looking for could use the already in place doctrine of abrogation to proclaim a homosexual friendly form of Islam, after which the Christ-hating secular West, once able to keep their cherished poofters, would stream into the mosques and take whatever mark they asked them to take.

I can’t read the whole article without subscribing. Why did he put in a cartoon of The Prophet when he must have known it would be controversial?”

Or pedophile mass murderers

The media barely covers the dangerous behavior of muslims, unless they are “forced” to.

Islam has a different definition of prophet. It is more tantamount to leader. Adam was a prophet according to islam.

Because today EVERYTHING is "controversial."

A far greater percentage of Britain's population are moslems than you see here. But fear not,our Maoist “progressives” are trying to remedy that.
