The Islamization of Britain proceeds apace, and anyone who dares suggest that the native culture is worth preserving is a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.”
“Former headteacher who urged pupils to ‘recite the Koran’ and ‘wear hijabs outside of school’ appointed as Ofsted chairman,” by Eliana Silver, GB News, March 15, 2025:
A former headteacher who urged pupils to “recite the Koran” and “wear hijabs outside of school” has been appointed as the chairman of Ofsted.
Sir Hamid Patel will take up the interim role while a successor for Dame Christine Ryan is found.
This is believed to be the first time a religious school leader has been appointed to the role.
Patel is the chief executive of Star Academies Trust, which runs around 40 primary and secondary schools including Islamic schools, grammar schools and one Christian school.
He has been on the Ofsted board since 2019, and has led Star Academies since 2010.
Before that, he was the headteacher of Tauheedul Islam Girls’ High School in Blackpool.
While he was in that role, guidance at the school urged pupils to “recite the Koran at least once a week”, and “not bring stationery to school that contains un-Islamic images”.
In addition, the school became one of the first in the UK to advise students to wear a hijab outside the classroom.
The institution also came under fire for allowing a visit from Sheikh Abdul Rahman al-Sudais, a Saudi Arabian cleric who had called Jewish people “pigs”, praying for God to “terminate” them.
Speaking to The Sunday Times about the visit, Patel said: “The girls wanted to see this guy with 5 million followers. They had seen him on YouTube. He stayed 20 minutes.”…
Oh, well then! That makes it okay! And since you’re hosting (for twenty minutes) people of views you supposedly oppose, when should I be there?
Patel was knighted for his outstanding services to education in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list in 2021 and also attended the King’s Coronation…. |
