2011 Census

Today started the same as every other day for me – get up, clean up, hang out the washing, take the dogs out, shower, start work – but this morning was different.

As I was showering I heard a rather large thud. Dashing downstairs to see what it was I saw a lone, large, purple and white envelope dominating the floor of the hallway.

So, it was finally here; the 2011 Census Pack.

On opening it, the first thing that struck me, apart from the official government stamp, was the bar code with its accompanying sixteen digit number, broken up into four sets of four, just as you see on a credit card. On every other page another ten digit barcode stamps its authority.

Is that to be tattooed on the back of my neck or will it be imprinted on the chip they plan to implant in me?

The second was the threat of a £1,000 fine if I don’t complete this ‘compulsory’ form.

On inspection, the form contained 42 questions some of which were very intrusive and, in my opinion, not necessary.

The 43^rd question informs you there are no more questions. Duh!

They include the usual questions such as who lives at the address, their ages, whether you are working or not and what type of work you do.

Of course with the promotion and rise of the gay community, they are now included in the questionnaire, with questions asking if they are ‘registered as in a same-sex civil partnership’, or ‘separated but still legally living in same-sex civil partnership’. Eh?

I found ever more odd questions, such as ‘where were you living a year ago’, ‘were you actively looking for work in the past four weeks’ and ‘are your day-to-day activities limited because of a health problem or disability’.

This is not just a Census in the normal term of a Census, the form also reads like a dole office questionnaire.

I have to say it is a strange one.

And why is question 17 ‘intentionally left blank’? DUH!

Will I be filling in this form?

Of course not.

SUE ME!

Reports are that this will be the final Census. I wonder why?

That chip is drawing closer and closer; welcome to George Orwell’s ‘1984’

If, like me, you are not willing to fill in the form, you can have a bit of fun with the doorstep stasi with the following appointment request which I found on the internet a few weeks ago...

FREE SPEECH SOON TO BE A CRIMINAL ACT

The news has become so slanted on British TV, that there is almost no news at all, a man and a woman finish each others sentences as they talk on incessantly about show biz celebrities and fashionable clothes nonsense.

Sport seems to dominate everything, and the 2012 Olympics which no one here wanted, is being pushed at us constantly, people instead wanted houses and jobs, but for the stadium to be built, whole communities had to be broken and disbanded, jobs and homes were bulldozed, for a sports white elephant whose shelf life was just a couple of weeks, and a whole British community was being ethnically cleansed

No real news in the newspapers either, so win this prize or that one, money off offers, clothes, cars, food, more sport propaganda and pretty people pictures usually without clothes feature throughout most pages in official dumming down exercises.

Hard hit British people during this economic depression are not holidaying abroad, but are staying home visiting many of the 680 summer music festivals throughout Britain.

The British government has been waging a war against free speech, and where people meet they talk, so according to a Sunday Express campaign to save summer fetes and festivals, they have been using health and safety regulations to make these events unviable; breaches can merit either imprisonment or a fine of 20,000 pounds per breach.

The TV presenters Ben Fogle and Richard Hammond, who are fighting back against government using red tape to close these events, claim up to 15 licenses and long permission forms must be gained and filled out, and such old established events as agricultural shows, church fundraising fetes and garden parties are severely at risk. But this has not happened in isolation. People meet in churches, and two churches close each week throughout Britain, and in fact many towns and villages, have seen the rail station “Beachinged” and closed, the corner shop, the pub church halls and youth clubs and the bus service all gone, and now post offices too.

British communities saw the mines closed, shipbuilding and car manufacturing shut down, in fact Mrs. Thatcher closed all heavy industry and put up V.A.T to such a colossal rate, small industries closed too, making it impossible for British people to find work.

These places are now ghost towns, with no meeting places, anonymous rows of brick boxes, interspersed with huge numbers of foreign nationals competing for the few jobs there are, making British people second class citizens in their own country.

I do not blame the foreign nationals, but the misguided and corrupt politicians who brought them all in.

The suppression of real news in favour of fluff and crap, has meant people do not buy newspapers any more, so because the indoctrination is more important than the profits, papers in many cases are now given away free, think on that for a second - propaganda more important than money,

There must be powerful stuff in this fluff and crap.

The hard left Guardian newspaper said recently that all public events were under threat and gave these summer fairs and festival events just 5 years to live.

So for those people who visit these events, give a wave to the hidden cameras that photograph all visitors, some say there is one camera for every 14 people in Britain, and in you spend a day out you can be photographed as many as 350 times in one day.

So have they helped to stop crime ?

No they have not, but that was not their purpose, the real purpose was to instil fear and allow our human rights to be withdrawn, and to this effect Tony Blair brought in almost one law change per day for his 10 years in office, making huge obscene profits for his wife Cherie Blair’s law firm, Matrix Chambers. Cherie seems unconcerned that the numbers of jobless and homeless Brits have gone through the roof, while foreigners pile in and get priority.

Another dictators wife said long ago,

“ but if the people have no bread, cant they eat cake “ ?

THE N.W.O. DEATH OF BRITAIN R.I.P

“The war will be over by Christmas, and there will be a land of jobs, milk and honey for all”

So said Winston Churchill urging Englishmen men to join up and fight “the Hun”and stop foreign feet from walking on British shores.

For those traumatized men lucky enough to come home after the war to a country in ruin, with homes bombed and families broken up, the first thing the government did was to import in thousands of foreign men to compete for the same few houses and jobs available.

When we look now most towns and villages have lost the church, public transport, the pub, the post office the police station and the village shop, many are just empty dormitory towns, and our neighbours are all foreign strangers to us in a desert of square boxes,

But was this part of the plan or just plain coincidence ?

The psychologist Carl Jung said there is no such thing as coincidence, everything conforms to a plan.

The 1930s saw deep financial hardship all across the land, with people living on the streets and hunger marches during the “great depression”

The men were only too glad to join the army, to be fed and clothed and even go to war for the government.

This was the same game used for W.W.1 and government racism in blaming foreigners is always the next step.

We are now entering another “great depression” where again the banks are not releasing money into the system and preparing us for W.W.III

The streets are filled again to bursting point with foreign nationals competing with British people for jobs and homes. Many of our old people die of hypothermia each year, because they cant fill out 56 page benefit forms, saving the government 5 billion pounds annually.

British children are now top of the European tables for malnutrition, while foreign nationals can claim for much our people cant. Government institutionalized racism was used against Germany, Iraq and soon against Iran and Syria.

Part of the agreement for Rothschild to fund Britain in W.W.II was for Britain to disband its empire, the U.K has been broken up into its component countries; Scotland, Wales and Ireland all gone, and plans exist to break Britain into 8 regional zones, under a political czar.

Australia killed off its original inhabitants the aboriginals, to steal their land,

New Zealand did the same with the Maoris,

America did it with the Red Indians

Israel did it with the Palestinians,

and the plans for Britain, are the same.

We are betrayed again by our own politicians, who have done us more damage than Hitler and Stalin. Jobs, the economy and national security, the land of milk and honey, is not for our people.

The English Anglo Saxon heterosexual Christian, is indeed an endangered species and are being ethnically cleansed abroad at the rate of one every three minutes.

EDL March Against Muslim Paedophiles in Rochdale - Sunday 06/03/2011

500 members of the English Defence League gathered in Rochdale yesterday facing opposition from only 100 lefties and muslim youth.

The reason? muslim grooming of young white girls. Here is the official promo which is a must see.

As the muslim population grows in this country, I’d like to know what the government will do when we have a situation like we are seeing in Egypt, Algiers etc, because at the rate they are breeding it won’t be very long before we have our very own civil war.

The video above shows muslim youth screaming the usual ‘allahu akbar’. You could be forgiven for thinking England is an Islamic country, after all, the chief of police is muslim, the heads of council are muslim, even the mayor is muslim!

It is time to stand up for what you believe in and beat this invasion down.

Thanks to melanoma321 for uploading the footage.

Are the British People Finally Awakening?

I bet Nick Lowles, John Cruddas and the rest of the loony left are quaking in their boots after the revelations of their latest report.

‘Fear and Hope – the New Politics of Identity’, available for viewing from 9pm tomorrow night (Monday 28^th February) and is the latest brainwave of the Searchlight/Labour hit squad, was filled in by 5,054 people across Britain to register their views on race, identity, nationhood and extremism.

According to Lowles’ report, ‘a new politics of identity, culture, and nation has grown out of the politics of race and immigration, and is increasingly the opinion driver in modern British politics’.

With 52% of the population leaning to the right, this is scaring the life out of Lowles and his cronies.

Of course, as usual, Lowles talks about the ‘decline’ of the British National Party and how political violence is strongly opposed by the vast majority of the population.

But who is spreading that violence?

How about the UAF for a start and the unions? All backed by the LibLabCon.

How about the millions of immigrants previous and present governments have shipped into ‘Great’ Britain from countries that haven’t the values we have?

How about homegrown muslim youth pushing for a 6^th century political ideology onto a 21^st century country?

Whilstever the sheeple keep listening and believing the likes of Lowles and voting in the LibLabCon instead of checking out the real facts about parties like the British National Party then we are very shortly going to have civil war.

The British National Party is not just about immigration and race as the likes of Lowles wouold have you believe. Go check the manifesto for yourself HERE

Islamic fundamentalists are already imposing their own brutal puritanism

They gathered when news broke of the imminent return from exile in London of 69-year-old Rachid Ghannouchi, the ‘moderate’ leader of Tunisia’s (previously banned) Ennahdha Islamist movement.

Ghannouchi has been careful to distance himself from the subsequent violence. But in retrospect, the women clearly had genuine cause for concern, both at his return and the simultaneous mass release of Islamists from Tunisia’s prisons — and all in the name of the country’s new pluralism.

The West, it seems to me, should be equally troubled. If these notoriously ‘moderate’ Islamists, while still a minority and in the infancy of their campaign, can hijack such a modern, sophisticated and secular Arab country in a matter of days, what could await the wider region, where secularism is already anathema and Wahhabi-inspired Islam has, in many instances, a firm foothold?

The Islamists have, through hate campaigns, set the social agenda in Tunisia even before elections have been proposed. Without a similarly assertive counterpart, there is every chance they will also fill the power vacuum being created from Cairo to Tripoli.

Egypt is the Arab world’s most populous nation, with a long tradition, like Tunisia, of tolerant and liberal Islam. The slogans on placards gave the West plenty of cause for hope, as did the westernised Egyptians who tweeted their commentary in English.

But placards are a poor proxy for the vox populi. In fact, the social decay during Hosni Mubarak’s three decades in power strongly increased the Islamists’ appeal — which Mubarak, in turn, exaggerated to keep Washington’s calls for reform at a whisper.

One month before Mubarak’s downfall, a poll conducted by the Pew Research Center found that a majority of Egyptians support stoning as a punishment for adultery, hand amputation for theft, and death for those who convert from Islam to another religion.

Sensing their moment may be nigh, the Muslim Brotherhood — harbouring a long-cherished goal of establishing an Islamist state in Egypt — is already increasing its sway in the post-revolutionary land of the Pharaohs.

Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, the fundamentalist group’s spiritual guide made famous by his weekly television show on Al Jazeera, visited Cairo recently to deliver a political sermon to a five million-strong crowd of the Egyptian faithful in Tahrir Square.

If, as seems inevitable, the Brotherhood gains sway over the government by joining in a coalition when parliamentary elections are held, it will find itself in a position to put the institutional heft of the Egyptian state behind its puritanical agenda.

This would dismay most Egyptians who, while vaguely sympathetic to the Brotherhood’s goals, for the most part have no longing to live in an Iranian-style theocracy. But neither did the Iranians before the ayatollahs took power.

As a hint of what might be in store for Egypt, consider the city of Alexandria.

Once it was a cosmopolitan summer resort famous for its secular, carefree atmosphere. Now it is about the least fun place to live in North Africa.

All Muslim women in the city are veiled — among the young, often for fear of otherwise being labelled a whore.

Violence between local Christians and Muslims is commonplace (23 Christians were killed by a bomb planted in a Coptic Orthodox church on New Year’s Day). Most bars have stopped serving alcohol, and the only women to be found on the beaches, even in the height of summer, are those taking care of their children — and they are invariably covered from head to toe in black.

It is a great mistake to assume democracy is an enemy of Islamism. When the gift of democracy is unwrapped in the Arab world, Islamists frequently spring out of the box.

The jihadis may be despised by most Muslims, but often in Arab countries, only about 20 to 40 per cent of the population vote. It is by no means impossible for the Islamists to secure a majority from the minority because their supporters are the most fanatical.

W hatever the theory of democratisation in the Arab world, the history is clear: where democracy, however tentatively, has already been introduced, it is the Islamists who have come to power.

Democracy came to Morocco, and now the fundamentalist Party for Justice and Development (PJD) increases its number of seats at each election: it is only a matter of time before the party forms a majority in parliament.

Democracy came to Gaza, and the Islamist group Hamas took power. In Bahrain, following democratic reforms a decade ago, there is now a fundamentalist Sunni block dominating the elected chamber — despite the fact that the country’s population is 70 per cent Shia.

Ditto Yemen. Even in Egypt, where the Muslim Brotherhood was officially outlawed, the group won a quarter of the parliamentary seats up for grabs six years ago.

But the Islamists seldom want to take control of the government machine; they have little interest in setting tax or energy policy. The influence they seek is cultural totalitarianism.

Bereft of sensible — let alone practical — solutions to the real ills that plague their societies, they aim to Islamise society from below. And principally by tackling a subject close to everyone’s heart: sex.

The events in Tunisia are merely an echo of what has been happening in the region for a decade. In Yemen, Islamists have long since been busy raiding alleged brothels and campaigning against all other forms of what they denounce — wrongly — as imported western decadence.

In Bahrain, too, the Islamists have explicitly dedicated themselves to clamping down on prostitution and the sale of alcohol.

In Tunisia and Egypt, the Islamists have quickly ruled out running for the all-important presidency. They do not seek to lead a government, because with that power comes responsibility and accountability.

What they need is a government sufficiently biddable to allow them to impose their cultural tyranny — and to succeed, they don’t need majority support. All the Islamists require is to be louder, more forceful and better organised than their opponents.

It would be foolish to argue that Arabs are somehow incapable of stable democratic government. There is, indeed, a chance that they are setting out on a turbulent path to a brighter future, free from repressive dogma.

But in a region that confounds analysts’ predictions on a daily basis, only one thing can be said with certainty: it is far too soon to declare any kind of triumph.

How Political Correctness Works

We are now reaping the 'benefits' of a 13 year labour government and just look at the state of the country.

You have heard me time and time again reporting of the indoctrination of our children by the 13 years of a Labour government.

Solomon Asch's experimental 'A study of conformity' is typical in what will happen if you are under pressure.

Now then, put me in a room with 100 people with opposing views to my own and I will not change my mind. I have a brain and I exercise my right to use it.

Put 30 children in a room with 1 teacher and that teacher will twist their innocent minds as we are seeing today.

Four men slashed teacher's face and left him with fractured skull 'for teaching other religions to Muslim girls'

Four men launched a horrific attack on a teacher in which they slashed his face and left him with a fractured skull because they did not approve of him teaching religion to Muslim girls.

Akmol Hussein, 26, Sheikh Rashid, 27, Azad Hussain, 25, and Simon Alam, 19, attacked Gary Smith with a Stanley knife, an iron rod and a block of cement.

Mr Smith, who is head of religious education at Central Foundation Girls' School in Bow, east London, also suffered a fractured skull.

The four now face a jail sentence.

Detectives made secret recordings of the gang's plot to attack Mr Smith prior to the brutal assault.

The covert audio probe captured the gang condemning Mr Smith for 'teaching other religions to our sisters', the court heard.

The RE teacher was targeted as he made his way on foot along Burdett Road in nearby Mile End on July 12 last year, Snaresbrook Crown Court was told.

Prosecutor Sarah Whitehouse told the court: 'The evidence from what was said on the probe points overwhelmingly to a religious motive for this attack.' 

It is believed the gang had made two earlier attempts to get at the teacher.

They were due to stand trial for the attack at Snaresbrook Crown Court but pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

A fifth defendant, Badruzzuha Uddin, 23, admitted assisting the thugs by hiding blood-stained clothing.

Judge John Hand QC remanded the defendants in custody until sentence on a date yet to be confirmed.

Hussein, of Bethnal Green, east London; Rashid, of Shadwell, east London; Hussain, of Wapping, east London, and Alam, of Whitechapel, east London; have all admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

Uddin, of Shadwell, admitted assisting an offender.

Merck chairman admits cancer and AIDS are in vaccines

Have you ever wondered how the AIDS virus entered America?

Well, this video introduces Dr Maurice Hilleman, the world’s leading vaccine expert and chairman of Merck pharmacutical company’s vaccine division, who openly admits cancer and other viruses are found in vaccines.

There are 40 different viruses in the vaccines. For example Yellow Fever vaccine has the leukemia virus in it.

Does this sound familiar to you?

It should do because I told you about it when I wrote the article under a week ago on how Derbyshire girls as young as 12 are being pushed to have the cervical cancer vaccine HERE and the swine flu/flu jab HERE

At 2.18 you hear them laughing at how they brought AIDS into America via African Green monkey’s destined for testing.

This will shock you to the core!

The islamification of France

It's started - Global unrest

This video shows 24 different countries that began 2011 with protests. The video shows the country location and news about the protest/riot. 2011 protests are increasing in quantity and support.

Countries shown are Albania, Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Cuba, Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, Honduras, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Tunisia, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States of America, Venezuela and Yemen.

Young Derbyshire girls exposed to dangerous cancer vaccine

NHS Derbyshire County is priding itself in the fact that over 64% of girls aged 16-17 have received a vaccination against cervical cancer and are now they are pushing for girls aged 12 and upwards to get vaccinated.

What they don’t tell you is just how dangerous it can be.

The Merck vaccine (Gardasil and Cervarix), created to ‘prevent the sexually transmitted virus Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) that causes cervical cancer’, is causing adverse reactions in many of our young girls.

According to MHRA reports in 2009 a total of 2,891 adverse reactions were reported in 1,340 girls. If someone already has the virus the vaccine will increase their chances of getting cervical cancer by 44%.

Here is a list of some of the adverse reactions:

Swelling

Rashes

Pain or mild allergies

Blurred vision

Convulsions

Seizures

Epileptic fit

Gastrointestinal disease

Miscarriage

Bell's palsy (face),

Guillain-Barre syndrome (legs) SEE GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME & THE FLU JAB

Hyopaesthesia (loss of sense of touch)

Hemiparesis (severe weakening or paralysis of half the body)

Death

America’s Food and Drug Administration have know for several years that HPV has no direct link to cervical cancer and yet they still go ahead and approve it. In fact one of the key researchers involved in the clinical trials for both Gardasil and Cervarix cervical cancer vaccines went public with warnings about their safety and effectiveness.

Dr. Diane Harper openly admitted to the Sunday Express that the vaccine doesn't even prevent cervical cancer, stating, "[The vaccine] will not decrease cervical cancer rates at all."

Hold on, the vaccine is supposed to prevent cervical cancer. If it doesn’t prevent it then why is it being given?

Some countries have stopped all trials of the drug e.g. INDIA

Think very carefully before you expose your child to yet another dangerous vaccine and while we are at it why don’t you check out THIS LINK which takes you to a freedom of information report cataloguing deaths caused by Gardasil in 2007/8 in America.

Not forgetting THIS LINK which details the culling of the worlds population.

Lessons in Hate and Violence: Islamic Schools in Britain

I hope those in charge are taking note, because in the news every day now there are stories proving that what the British National Party has been saying all along is true.

Just take a look at this…

Secret filming at Muslim schools in Birmingham and Yorkshire shows pupils being beaten and 'taught Hindus drink cow p***'

By Tazeen Ahmad

It is an assembly hall of the sort found in any ordinary school. Boys aged 11 and upwards sit cross-legged on the floor in straight rows. They face the front of the room and listen carefully. But this is no ordinary assembly. Holding the children’s attention is a man in Islamic dress wearing a skullcap and stroking his long dark beard as he talks.

‘You’re not like the non-Muslims out there,’ the teacher says, gesturing towards the window. ‘All that evil you see in the streets, people not wearing the hijab properly, people smoking . . . you should hate it, you should hate walking down that street.’
He refers to the ‘non-Muslims’ as the ‘Kuffar’, an often derogatory term that means disbeliever or infidel.

Welcome to one of Britain’s most influential Islamic faith schools, one of at least 2,000 such schools in Britain, some full-time, others part-time. They represent a growing, parallel education system.

Grabbed: Secretly filmed footage from the Markazi Jamia mosque shows a teacher pulling a pupil towards him and striking him on the back

The school is the Darul Uloom Islamic High School in Birmingham, an oversubscribed independent secondary school. Darul Ulooms are world-renowned Islamic institutions and their aim is to produce the next generation of Muslim leaders. In fact, these schools have been described as the ‘Etons of Islam’.

This school is required by its inspectors to teach tolerance and respect for other faiths. But the Channel 4 current affairs programme Dispatches filmed secretly inside it – and instead discovered that Muslim children are being taught religious apartheid and social segregation.

Warning: Reporter Tazeen Ahmad says Muslim schools need closer scrutiny

We recorded a number of speakers giving deeply disturbing talks about Jews, Christians and atheists.

We found children as young as 11 learning that Hindus have ‘no intellect’ and that they ‘drink cow p***’.

And we came across pupils being told that the ‘disbelievers’ are ‘the worst creatures’ and that Muslims who adopt supposedly non-Muslim ways, such as shaving, dancing, listening to music and – in the case of women – removing their headscarves, would be tortured with a forked iron rod in the afterlife.

In 2009 this school was praised by Government-approved inspection teams for its interfaith teachings. The report said that ‘pupils learn about the beliefs and practices of other faiths and are taught to show respect to other world religions’.

It seems that the inspectors were unaware of the teaching methods revealed by our undercover reporter, Osman. He was taken on as a volunteer at the Darul Uloom school in Birmingham in April 2009 and was allowed to sit in on some lessons – but not their Islamic classes.

So, in July last year, he went into one of the rooms where we’d heard they taught Islamic studies and left a secret camera to record the lessons.

Filming intermittently over a period of four months, the camera recorded children being taught a hardline, intolerant and highly anti-social version of Islam.

During the same period our reporter also attended the Markazi Jamia mosque in Keighley, West Yorkshire, after hearing of serious allegations that children were being hit at its madrassa.

Slapped: A child receives a sharp blow on the back of the head from the same teacher. The impact of the blow can be heard on the film

Madrassas in the UK are part-time after-school or weekend classes, often held in mosques, where children are taught to read the Koran. In Keighley it is not what they are being taught that is the problem, but how.

Again, Osman went into the mosque and left the camera in the room where classes took place.

The film shows children as young as six sitting on the floor of a large room in the mosque, one of the biggest in the country. The boys are hunched over wooden benches, rocking backwards and forwards as they rote-learn the Koran in Arabic. A man with a long white beard dressed in a traditional shalwar kameez – tunic and trousers – sits at the head of the class.

'He slaps one boy, strikes another and kicks a third'

Periodically he gets up and walks behind the boys. As he passes, the children appear to cower and watch him nervously. It soon becomes clear why.

He unexpectedly raises his hand and slaps a young boy hard on the head. Moments later he strikes another. And then he kicks a third child.

In just two days of filming in December 2010, the camera recorded the teacher hitting children as young as six or seven at least ten times, in less than three hours of lessons.

From what we could see, every ¬single blow was pretty much unprovoked. We soon realised that the beatings were routine. The behaviour of the boys, the way they flinched and backed away when he approached, indicated that they were long-accustomed to being hit and kicked as they studied.

In another incident an older boy, left in charge of a class while a teacher is out at prayer, picks up a bench and threatens to hit a younger boy with it.

Threatened: An older pupil holds down a boy while another pupil - put in charge during the teacher's absence - aims a bench at him

During the making of this Dispatches film I have often counted my blessings. I received my Islamic education at home. My mum would read the Koran with me and most of my knowledge of Islam came from within the family. Others have not been so lucky.

Osman was subjected to beatings at four separate madrassas in the East Midlands as a child. He says that for the nine years he spent going to after-school Koran classes, he was hit regularly, at least a couple of times a week.

‘It destroyed my confidence,’ he says, ‘and the worst bit was never knowing when it was going to happen. I had a horrible teacher who would use his fists, a stick, a shoe, anything he could find. He’d just get angry and lash out.’

Osman’s young cousins go to the same madrassas he attended and told him the beatings were still continuing. This persuaded Osman to try to reveal the truth behind the private world of faith schools. Over a period of two years he bravely placed cameras in both schools and collected highly sensitive material for us. His experience of madrassas is not uncommon. But persuading people to go on camera about this has been difficult. One family who were willing to talk were too frightened to do so openly.

'The law must change to protect these children.'

‘Salma’ and ‘Ayesha’ are a mother and daughter whose identities we are protecting. Ayesha is now sitting her A-levels but when she was seven she was beaten at her Koran classes. She says: ‘The teacher would sit there, tell me what to read, pronounce it to me – then if I said it wrong he would hit me on the hands with a ruler.’

Her younger brother, only five at the time, would be hit on his feet with a stick. They dreaded going to those classes but did not tell their mother. Salma eventually withdrew her children from attending madrassas for a completely different reason: she learned that they were being taught an intolerant version of Islam. ‘They were using terms like “Kaffir” just because somebody isn’t of the same religion,’ she says, ‘and I’m teaching my children to integrate and not be racist so I pulled my children out.’

Academic and theologian Dr Taj Hargey invited me to visit his part-time Islamic school in Oxford where children are taught in mixed-gender classes.

Here I witnessed a modern and refreshing method of teaching. Pupils were told to respect other faiths, ask questions about their religion and recite from the Koran in English as well as Arabic.

Dr Hargey told me he set up this school because of claims that Muslim parents had made to him about beatings in other madrassas. ‘It’s an outdated, archaic concept,’ he says, ‘and if we inflict this violence we will sow the seeds of violence in them.’

Punished: One of the madrassa students is grabbed by the wrist, pulled towards the teacher in charge of the class and struck on the back

Sir Roger Singleton, former Government chief adviser on the safety of children, and Ann Cryer, former MP for Keighley, want the law to change to ban physical punishment in supplementary classes, as it does in full-time schools. ‘It just isn’t acceptable,’ says Cryer. ‘We wouldn’t allow this to happen to white kids going to Sunday schools.’

We approached the Darul Uloom Islamic High School in Birmingham with the findings of our film. It claimed that the senior student who gave the speech about Hindus was later reported by other students, and has been expelled, and that no teachers were present ‘during the incident’.

The school said that a speaker who made comments about Jews was ‘visiting’ and his views did not represent school policy. It denied that its religious instruction was hardline or extremist and said it did not tolerate hatred towards any faith group.

In a statement, the school said: ‘Our ethos is for students to be full and active participants of British society.’ It also said that it would study our evidence and take ‘disciplinary measures’ if required.

Regarding the Keighley madrassa, we were told that the Jamia Mosque committee was firm in its resolve to take whatever action was necessary to protect children being taught at the mosque and that it would give its full co-operation to any enquiries resulting from our film.

If the law on physical punishment does change, that would be one way to protect the very young that attend these classes. But these part-time and full-time Muslim schools also need closer scrutiny – the regulatory system needs to be tightened up.

However, we have a Government that, on the one hand, gives grand speeches about tackling the causes of extremism, as David Cameron did last week, while, on the other, encouraging local communities to set up their own schools – including faith schools. It’s time to stop these mixed messages.

And Muslims can no longer sweep this under the carpet – they need to face up to what is happening behind closed doors. Many warn that if we don’t all tackle this toxic mix of hatred and violence head on, we will reap the whirlwind in years to come.
