Muslim school 'says UK culture is poisonous': Privately-run madrassah accused of 'dividing' communities by teaching children extreme form of Islam
The Islamic Tarbiyah Academy in Dewsbury, Yorkshire, under investigation
•Privately-run madrasa teaches 140 primary age children as well as over-16s
•Mufti Zubair Dudha, centre’s founder and head, compiled leaflet quoting anti-Semitic document that claims Jews are engaged in a global conspiracy
•Cleric also claims pop culture is part of conspiracy to ‘poison minds'
Muslim religious school has been accused of teaching children that British customs are ‘poisonous’ and that Jews are trying to take over the world.
The Islamic Tarbiyah Academy in Dewsbury, Yorkshire, was accused of promoting an extreme form of Islam that ‘divides’ communities.
The privately-run madrasa, which teaches 140 primary age children in after-school classes and runs full-time programmes for over-16s, is now being investigated by the Government. Mufti Zubair Dudha, the centre’s founder and head, is a respected cleric from the orthodox Deobandi sect.
An investigation by Sky News found he had compiled a leaflet which quotes the Protocols of Zion, an anti-Semitic document that claims Jews are engaged in a global conspiracy.
The cleric claimed films, magazines and celebrities are part of the conspiracy to ‘poison the minds’ of young Muslims. Other leaflets said all mixed-sex institutions are evil, warned Muslims not to adopt British customs, banned watching TV and told women not to work.
In a section on jihad, he told Muslims they should be prepared to ‘expend ... even life’ to create a world organised by ‘Allah’s just order’, although in other leaflets he condemned terrorism.
Dewsbury has a history of ties to radicalisation. It was home to Britain’s youngest suicide bomber, who blew himself up in Iraq, its youngest convicted terrorist, and Mohammad Sidique Khan, ringleader of the 7/7 terror attacks.
Keith Vaz, who chairs the Home Affairs Select Committee, told Sky News: ‘These kinds of leaflets serve no purpose but to divide in a poisonous and totally reckless way.’
But Mr Dudha told Sky News: ‘It saddens me greatly that certain extracts from our publications have been taken and misrepresented to link the Academy with extremism. We fully believe in the importance and need of integration whilst being able to practise our faith.’
It follows an announcement by the Government to crack down on madrasas, which have long operated with little or no scrutiny. Ofsted has uncovered 15 unregistered schools teaching a narrow Islamic curriculum in the last year.
The Department for Education said: ‘These serious allegations are under investigation. While it would be inappropriate to comment on the specific investigations, we are clear that extremism has no place in our society and we are determined to protect children from it.’
Mr Dudha did not respond to requests for a further comment.

คนต่างศาสนาในอังกฤษควรวิตกต่อโรงเรียนศาสนาอิสลามหรือไม่ เมื่อพวกเขาสอนว่าวัฒนธรรมอังกฤษคือสิ่งที่เป็นพิษภัย!
