What is taught in Muslim schools? Apparently that Jews are “repugnant” and Christians are “pigs”.
School director Dr Sumaya Aluyusuf insisted her school promoted “inter-culturalism and inter-faith awareness” and said children were never taught religious hatred or intolerance.

But she said the passages would be removed from the books in question “in the public interest”.

She admitted the textbooks - translated for BBC Two’s Newsnight programme by two independent scholars - were kept at the school.

The translations were “taken out of context” and had “lost some of their meaning”, she said.

She said the controversy had arisen from the misinterpretation of the material which was based on the Koran.

Schools minister Jim Knight has ordered an inquiry into an Islamic school accused of promoting religious intolerance.

He wants officials to look into the King Fahad Academy which uses books that brand other faiths as worthless.

An ex-teacher at the London school says parts of the books describe Jews as “repugnant” and Christians as “pigs”. The school denies teaching pupils from these texts, but says the passages will be removed from the books in question.
