Muslim College Student Complain: We Are Being Taught Islamic Radicalism - British Authorities Snore

Yes, that's right, a group of Muslim studentsat Hawza Ilmiyya of London have complained that they are being taught a radical brand of their religion in an Islamic Law class:


The Times has obtained extracts from medieval texts taught to the students in which unbelievers are likened to pigs and dogs. The texts are taught at the Hawza Ilmiyya of London, a religious school, which has a sister institution, the Islamic College for Advanced Studies (ICAS), which offers a degree validated by Middlesex University. The students, who have asked to remain anonymous, study their religious courses alongside the university-backed BA in Islamic studies. They spend two days a week as religious students and three days on their university course.

The text that has upset some students is the core work in their Introduction to Islamic Law class and was written by Muhaqqiq al-Hilli, a 13thcentury scholar. The Hawza Ilmiyya website states that ‘the module aims to familiarise the student with the basic rules of Islamic law as structured by al-Hilli’. Besides likening unbelievers to filth, the al-Hilli text includes a chapter on jihad, setting down the conditions under which Muslims are supposed to fight Jews and Christians.

The text is one of a number of books that some students say they find ‘disturbing’ and ‘very worrying’. Their spokesman told The Times: ‘They are being exposed to very literalist interpretations of the Koran. These are interpretations that would not be recognised by 80 or 90 per cent of Muslims, but they are being taught in this school.


British writer, Melanie Phillips, comments:


Here are Muslims who are themselves complaining that they are being fed religious bigotry and hatred – and yet the Britsh authorities, including the Charity Commission, are nevertheless simply refusing to take any notice! So responsible Muslims are themselves being abandoned to the jihad because the British establishment simply refuses to acknowledge the true nature of the problem.

Has Britain simply got a death-wish?
