Islamic textbooks instruct students (in UK) to teach gays (and Jews) a lesson
By Brooke Johnson, 365gay.com

-snip unnecessary sentence-

When your six-year-old brings home a textbook that specifies “hellfire” as the only correct response to the question “What happens to someone who does not believe in Islam?,” then you’ll know it’s gotten to the extreme level of Muslim weekend schools in England.

Pink News reports that according to a BBC Panorama investigation being screened tonight, a network of over 40 Islamic schools under the Saudi Students Clubs and Schools in the UK and Ireland are not only teaching homophobic and anti-Semitic views– they’re teaching the 5,000 enrolled students how to punish Jewish and gay “offenders.”

Sharia law classes for children follow Saudi textbooks that say “Zionists” are scheming to dominate the world, that convicted thieves should have their hands and feet cut off (complete with diagrams and descriptions of the procedure), and that the penalty for gay sex is execution, Pink News states.

-snip graphic which contains some facts about religious courts in England-

The schools allegedly teach the 6 to 18-year-old British and Muslim students more than one route to the execution of gays; the cleric chooses whether the convicted is stoned, thrown off a cliff or burnt to death, Daily Mail reports.

-snip the rest-

1. Sounds like a great argument for keeping the church/mosques out of public schools

3. It's the Saudi national curriculum that's being taught. I suppose we aren't supposed to
notice that, just like we aren't supposed to remember that the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis -- because we depend on Saudi oil

4. I think the House of Saud has been watching
too much of Dune.
