UK: Textbooks promoting stoning found in Muslim school

No one should be surprised by this, but the British educational establishment and media are, because they don’t know that stoning is prescribed in Islamic law, and think of it as a manifestation of “extremism.” This ignorance runs through the entire response of Britain and the West to the jihad threat: what authorities assume is “extremist” is actually mainstream.
Jamiatul Ummah
“Muslim school fails Ofsted inspection after investigators find books in its library promoting death by STONING,” by Mark Duell, MailOnline, January 20, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A Muslim school has failed an Ofsted inspection after investigators found extreme books in its library promoting stoning to death.
The watchdog’s inspectors said they discovered three texts promoting inequality of women and illegal punishment during a ‘brief visit’ to Jamiatul Ummah School in Tower Hamlets, East London.
The books found at the all-boys private secondary school – which has annual fees of £3,400 – also undermined the rule of British law, according to inspectors in a report published two weeks ago.
The school, which insists it ‘condemns all forms of extremism unequivocally’, said it has removed the texts following the inspection and is carrying out an audit on the rest of its materials.
The report said: ‘The concern is that during a very brief tour of the library inspectors found three books that undermine the active promotion of the rule of British law and respect for other people.
‘The books promote inequality of women and punishments, including stoning to death, which are illegal in Britain and which do not reflect the school’s ethos of tolerance and integration.
‘Staff have not been sufficiently vigilant about the availability of inappropriate texts in the library or sufficiently aware of the potential for unwittingly promoting extreme views.’
The unannounced investigation at the school, which teaches 158 boys aged 11 to 16, was carried out on November 25, and is the third inspection Jamiatul Ummah has failed since October 2014.
DAMNING VERDICT ON SIX SCHOOLS
A series of damning reports on six London schools – including Jamiatul Ummah – where students were said to be ‘vulnerable to extremists and radicalisation’ was released in November 2014.
Inspectors said the curriculum at Jamiatul Ummah was too narrow, with too few chances to promote personal, social and health education, citizenship or careers.
There was a good range of opportunities for students to study and practise their Islamic faith, the report said….
The school was rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted in January 2011 and ‘satisfactory’ in September 2004.
