This amused<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A madrassa that gave a lesson suggesting Muslim girls should have children rather than careers has been ousted from a secondary school amid safeguarding concerns.<\/p>\n

Langley Academy has terminated its contract with the Al-Miftah Institute, which provided \u2018IslamHood\u2019 Sunday school classes from its campus in Slough.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It appears that feminism has scored a rare victory over the top-ranked protected class in a game of victimhood poker. But that’s not what I find so amusing. Rather, this is:<\/p>\n

It followed complaints by a member of the public and the National Secular Society that IslamHood had hosted speakers with controversial views about homosexuality. Another speaker complained about women in hijabs making social media videos and described non-Muslims as \u201cpigs\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The folly of trusting a journalist to get the story right notwithstanding, it seems this was not enough to get Islamhood booted out of the school. But suggesting perhaps women might be happier raising families instead of clogging up a cubicle in a pointless department is enough to (temporarily) re-write the poker rules.<\/p>\n

A recording also emerged of an IslamHood class showing a lesson by Shaykh Shams\u00a0Ad-Duha Muhammad\u00a0on why Muslim girls should have children instead of careers.<\/p>\n

In the video, which was recently deleted from IslamHood\u2019s You Tube page, showing girls in the audience, he said: \u201cSmart career women give it up to have children.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Quelle horreur! This is almost as bad as when they objected<\/a> to a gay activist promoting homosexuality to primary school children.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Langley Academy said: \u201cWe fully support the government’s Prevent Strategy. Therefore we take any allegations that extremist views or ideology might be being promoted on our premises extremely seriously.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s odd what gets considered extremist these days, isn’t it? I expect if this outfit was handing out ISIS flyers and subsidising one-way tickets to Syria, no-one would have batted an eyelid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
