Labour subsidises Islamic extremism with taxpayer funding & Why Is Hizb ut Tahrir Receiving Government Funding?
Two good posts asking the same question; Why is Labour using tax payers money to fund Islamic Exremisim in the form of the revolutionary Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir?
The first from Harry’s Place:-
In today’s Prime Minister’s Questions, Conservative Party Leader David Cameron challenged Prime Minister Gordon Brown on the findings of the Centre for Social Cohesion’s (CSC) latest report, Hizb ut-Tahrir: Ideology and Strategy.
Cameron, who has promised to ban Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT), asked the Prime Minister why the Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation (ISF), a charity run by HT members that manages two primary schools and a nursery in London, has received over £113,000 in government grants – a fact revealed by the CSC in the Sunday Telegraph last month. Following the revelations, Haringey Council suspended ISF’s funding.
As the CSC report shows, HT is a revolutionary Islamist group that supports violent jihad and is using front groups to embed its divisive ideology into local communities. Cameron stated today that HT is a group that says “Jews should be killed wherever you find them”.
Cameron added that the Opposition has been voicing its concern over the ISF to the Prime Minister for the past month and demanded to know again why HT has still not been banned. Furthermore, since the CSC’s publication the Shadow Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, Michael Gove MP, has written to Ed Balls MP, Secretary of State, Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), asking why the ISF had received public money.
And the second from Cranmer:-
Cranmer has written about Hizb-ut-Tahrir before: here, here and here.
They are not very nice.
Not nice at all.
So it comes as something of a surprise (or perhaps not) to learn that this amoral, deficient, anti-Christian Labour government are subsidising a terrorist-supporting, kuffar-hating, strife-inducing Islamic agenda for world domination.
His Grace has been sent a very interesting letter by the Conservative Party (at last, they are trusting him with their intelligence).
It was sent from the Michael Gove MP to Ed Balls, Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families.
It concerns the Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation, which runs an independent school in Slough and an independent school and nursery in Haringey. The foundation allegedly has strong links to Hizb ut-Tahrir. Mr Gove says he believes that the Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation not only has very strong links to Hizb ut-Tahrir, but is in fact a front for its political activity. He says:
‘I believe that the Foundation’s schools are teaching an educational philosophy that is incompatible with Britain’s liberal democratic values. Furthermore I am greatly concerned the Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation is in receipt of public money to further radical Islamist aims despite appearing not to meet basic DCSF criteria.’
Most concerningly, the headmistress of the Slough school, Farah Ahmed, is a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir and has written for its journal attacking the ‘corrupt Western concepts of materialism and freedom’.
When Mr Gove asked the DCSF what had be done to ensure the senior staff at the Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation schools were suitable people to be teaching children, they responded that all school staff ‘had undergone a CRB check’.
It beggars belief that even this Labour government believes that a CRB check would ascertain whether or not a teacher or school leader is a political extremist.
Hizb ut-Tahrir, whose supporters and members run the Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation and teach in its schools, defines Israel as an enemy state and sanctions the killing of Israeli Jews. The party’s ideology is therefore inherently anti-Semitic.

We do not need religious schools of any club. I am atheist, I would like all religions to be eradicated, but if adults wish to join the clubs, so be it. (They just must comply with the same laws as the rest of us.) However, it is evil to indoctrinate, brainwsh, children.
It is only that brainwashing that sustains the nonsense. Without all the indoctrination (it affects more than just kids; the religious mafioso have massive power over minds in the UK…how many people have non-religious funerals compared to non-churchgoers? How many people have kids “Christened” but rarely go to church. ).
We have too many religious schools already (1 is that). They probably do more harm than is obvious..most of us know nothing else than an indoctrinated society so we cannot see.
We do not need even MORE religions and religious schools, especially those that are massively culturally different from most of the population. Islam seems to me to preach things abhorrent to most of us in the UK. We MUST NOT allow more Islamic schools. We should try to eradicate the religion. There is little doubt its influence is spreading. Is it a real threat? I don’t know. On the precautionary principle we should stamp on it.
