“The Charity Commission said there was ‘no evidence whatsoever’ of Haque being challenged by the school over his false declaration to not have criminal convictions.”
Why not? Didn’t they care? If not, why not? Do British authorities care to find the answers to such questions? Of course not. That would be “Islamophobic.”
“…and the trustees said during the investigation that they had not been involved in hiring him.”
Of course. The total abdication of responsibility is universal among Islamic supremacists. Any wrongdoing is always someone else’s fault, preferably that of the kuffar.
“On the first day of the inspection, a book which contained text that contradicted British values was found in the library. Leaders and staff were not able to provide inspectors with an explanation as to how the book came to be in the library. There was no school stamp on the inside cover. The book’s contents promote violence and intolerance towards groups protected by law.”
Were the inspectors really surprised by this? Probably they were, because everyone except a handful of courageous people is lying to them in Britain today about the nature, magnitude, and ideological underpinnings of the jihad threat. Every time they find an Islamic school teaching jihad and other things that contradict British values, they’ll be shocked anew, because they believe without a shred of evidence that every last Muslim in Britain is completely loyal to the British state, and that only greasy Islamophobes think otherwise. Many are, to be sure, but many aren’t. British officials deny the existence of the texts and teachings of Islam that teach its own superiority and supremacy, so every time they encounter those teachings being spread, they’ll keep on being surprised, and never notice a pattern.
“East London school where terror plotter Umar Haque showed ISIS video to pupils given official warning by Charity Commission,” by Tristan Kirk, Evening Standard, August 22, 2020:
An east London independent school where a jihadi extremist worked as a teacher and was able to show an ISIS propaganda video to pupils has been given an official warning by the Charity Commission.
Umar Ahmed Haque, 28, was put in charge of classes at the Lantern of Knowledge School in Leyton while working as an Islamic Studies teacher between April 2015 and January 2016.
He had no formal teaching qualifications and had concealed criminal convictions on his application to join the £3,000-a-year school, his Old Bailey trial heard.
Haque was convicted in 2018 of plotting to recruit an army of children for an ISIS-inspired terror campaign, and had picked out targets including Parliament, the City, and London’s transport network.
He had denied the claim of criminal wrongdoing at the east London school despite admitting to showing pupils an ISIS propaganda video during a lesson, and the charge was left to lie on file following a hung jury.
However in a scathing report released today, the Charity Commission said the lack of a criminal conviction did not diminish concerns over how Haque was managed by the school’s trustees.
“The inquiry is critical of the trustees’ conduct and their failure to recognise the seriousness of the matter”, the report found.
“The fact that Daesh-related material was shown to the charity’s beneficiaries was not in dispute, and something which the trustees were fully aware of as set out in the inquiry opening letter and through media reporting of the trial.
“The trustees failed to consider the implications of showing the video, given its content, to the charity’s beneficiaries, irrespective of whether or not doing so constituted a criminal offence.”
The school complained when the Charity Commission opened its investigation, and tried to play down its ties to Haque and his offending after he was found guilty of a string of terror charges and jailed for life….
Haque was found guilty of trying to radicalise children during classes he ran at the Ripple Road mosque in Barking, and had identified terror targets including Big Ben, the Queen’s guard, the London Underground, police and army bases, as well as courts and journalists.
Sentencing him, Mr Justice Haddon-Cave called Haque a “dangerous liar” who was able to convert his young followers by being “intelligent, articulate, and persuasive, with an easy smile – he is narcissistic and clearly enjoys the power he wields over others.”
Following the sentencing hearing, the Met’s anti-terror commander Dean Haydon said he was “horrified” when he learned Haque had been allowed in charge of classes of children at the Lantern of Knowledge school.
“It’s a fee paying school, they are paying significant amounts of money to send their children to this school and they expect them to be safe, with safeguarding measures, and taught by fully qualified teachers. In this case, they weren’t”, he said.
The Charity Commission said there was “no evidence whatsoever” of Haque being challenged by the school over his false declaration to not have criminal convictions, and the trustees said during the investigation that they had not been involved in hiring him…
“On the first day of the inspection, a book which contained text that contradicted British values was found in the library. Leaders and staff were not able to provide inspectors with an explanation as to how the book came to be in the library. There was no school stamp on the inside cover.
“The book’s contents promote violence and intolerance towards groups protected by law. An excerpt from the book states ‘Homosexuals advocate a view of human relationships that is at odds with the natural order and stability of human society. Tolerating homosexuality and promiscuity means encouraging them and pushing more and more people to practice them.’ Another excerpt states ‘A person who is married and commits adultery, and who either confesses or whose act is proven, pays for it with his life’.”…
“We expect the trustees of this charity to learn from the failings set out in our report, and to comply with the required actions to strengthen the charity’s administration. We will closely monitor the trustees’ compliance with these actions.”…
Why not? Didn’t they care? If not, why not? Do British authorities care to find the answers to such questions? Of course not. That would be “Islamophobic.”
