British schools are increasingly dropping the Jewish Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, according to a report entitled, Teaching Emotive and Controversial History, commissioned by the Department for Education and Skills.

British teachers are also reluctant to discuss the medieval Crusades, in which Christians fought Muslim armies for control of Jerusalem: lessons often contradict what is taught in local mosques.

  1. “British schools are increasingly dropping the Jewish Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils,”

    HAS ANYONE ASKED THE MUSLIMS WHY TEACHING THE HOLOCAUST OFFENDS THEM? A simple polite but obvious question to ask, surely?

    I’m not offended by the teaching of Sino-Japanese war, between Chinese and Japanese, nor am I offended by the teaching of the Armenian genocide, an affair involving Turks and Armenians. What happened in Nazi Germany was between Hitler and the Jews and is no concern of the Muslims.
    Or is it?
    Perhaps Muslims are admitting that they do actually hate Jews and that they did have a hand in the holocaust. If Muslim offence at the holocaust does not show that Muslims have something to hide then what does?

  2. If the facts of the holocaust are taught it makes the Moslem hatred of Jews look like the evil it is, after all can the kids be taught to condemn the Nazi murders when they are told to ignore the actions of the Moslems.

  3. Richard: Yes, I see what you are saying but remember that Muslims don’t hate Jews do they? They only hate Israelis, and the State of Israel was not formed until three years after World War 2, so the holocaust was the murder of pre-Israeli Jews and therefore Muslims should NOT be offended by it! (end of sarc…)
    The following is a question that all Leftists should be asked:

    WHY ARE MUSLIMS OFFENDED BY TEACHING OF THE HOLOCAUST? Unless of course the holocaust wasn’t true, but we know that the only people who deny the holocaust are filthy right-wing evil Neo-Nazi bastards.

    I would like to see a Leftist squirm out of this one without sounding like a Nazi!

  4. Subject: Saladin

    When Jerusalem was conquered by the Crusaders during the middle ages, Arab Muslims, Christains and Jews were massacred. They spared no body. After 100 years when Jerusalem was reoccupied by the Muslims, not a single Christian and a Jew was slaughtered. Saladin should be taught in European and American schools.Saladin should be included in European curricula, says Thorvald Steen.

    Leading Norwegian writer has criticized the education given to children in European schools, saying it is misleading and arguing that a Kurdish-Muslim commander “who opened Jerusalem to all religions” after conquering it over 800 years ago should be presented as a childhood hero for them.

    “He was an enormously important figure, and he is not mentioned in our books,” said Thorvald Steen about Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub — better known as Saladin in the West — who defeated and took Jerusalem back from the Crusaders in the battle of Hattin in 118. He did not seek revenge though his generals wanted it greatly after 87 years of oppression and depression at the hands of Crusaders. He could easily smash the entire city, but he did not do that and took a rather tolerant and peaceful approach, Saladin, a devout Sunni Muslim, united Muslims against the Crusaders in Jerusalem and formed a huge army famous for its chivalry which was also supported by minority Christians and Jews at the time.

    Richard the Lionheart was profoundly affected by Saladin’s pluralist and tolerant personality. Following a direct order from Pope Gregory VIII, Richard the Lionheart led the third crusader army against Saladin in 1191 after he’d conquered Jerusalem four years earlier. “The real provocation for the pope was that Saladin opened Jerusalem to all religions,” Steen said, arguing that the “pope’s teaching at the time was ‘You crusaders must bring Saladin’s head to Rome, and the more non-Christians you kill the faster you rise to paradise.

    Though he managed to defeat Saladin’s army in the battle of Arsuf, Richard the Lionheart failed to retake Jerusalem from him, eventually returning home after coming to an agreement with the Muslim commander for Jerusalem to stay under Muslim control but be open for Christian pilgrims. “Richard was a cruel fundamentalist, but he became a confused fundamentalist after discovering that the world is much different than what he thought,” Steen noted, adding, “Richard was shocked about Saladin, who he thought the devil’s man being at such a high level.” The Norwegian author argued, however, that intense propaganda was carried out in Europe to exalt the Richard the Lionheart after his death. Steen stressed that the reason William Shakespeare did not write about Richard the Lionheart is because “he is too perfect to write about in Shakespeare’s style where characters are represented with their good and bad sides together.” The way he presented Saladin has been admired, especially among Muslims.

    UNO has taken a right decision to hand over Jerusalam to Muslims because they are going to do justice and tolerate and respoect those who are differnt. Still one of the shrine of Jesus(peace be upon him) is under the control of Muslims who give it full respect and honour.

  5. IA may make good points or he may not. I for one stopped listening to
    Any muslim or communit socialist many years ago .
    Your actions speak for themselves. Intolerance and hatred penetrate
    All aspects of Islam and its people . IA you can write Islam is tolerant or whatever
    fiction you want but it won’t wash. We know you lie and kill. All your words are lies. You kill your own children for honour. And you call yourselves a religion. You must be insane if you think we believe your drivel.

  6. Saladin was an exception. Most Muslims hate or dismiss him because he “is” a Kurd & not an Arab.

    Sorry no dice.

    So Islam is an inclusive religion & yet the diss a Muslim like Saladin because of his ethnicity. What’s up with that.

    Same thing happened with less famous people in North Africa. It started a movement.

    It will continue to happen, cuz that is the true face of Islam

    Wow 3 hours & no reply? Truth hurts, don’t it!

    John, I don’t think he even reads our replies. He just posts and runs. Note how his current post was slightly off-topic. He just comes out with pro-Islamic rubbish, copies it, pastes it and legs it!
    I nearly always read his replies. I don’t want to be accused of not listening to what the other side have to say, after all, I’m not unreasonable because I’m not a Muslim.
    After I have read it, I dismiss it, because it’s usually the same contrived garbage that I’ve heard before!
    Let him have his fun – after all we who believe in this site are defenders of free speech.

  8. There are (too?) many asian Christians who allied either willingly or out of no choice with asian moslems. There are asians Christians who pandered too much to moslems and uncaring or ignored about the danger that moslems or islamic culture posed to us younger infidel generations. This issue should be brought out and debated openly. But as usual, asians or eastern people tend to say one thing and do another thing.

  9. Once again the mighty muzrats get the upper hand in our society, they love nothing but dictating behind the scenes to get their way.
    So many things have been changed because of them and while our governments lack the balls to stand up and say enough is enough! the muzzies will continue to dictate what we are allowed to say, what we eat (eg halal) and the way things are going what we will wear (male and female).
    They burn churches, kill innocent people, threaten others with death and our govenments turn their heads away BUT we say one thing wrong about them and we are persecuted (charged, labelled, murdered etc) while they seem to be able to get away with their crimes.

  10. “British & Irish children” being indoctrinated….? They are obviously the children of Muslims in Britain or Ireland. Or the children of the vanished or the converts to Islam! It is child abuse of the worst kind!

    But thanks to the ruling elite and their MC/PC policies these children are not afforded the same rights as other British or Irish children. They do not care about them. The Pied Piper of Harlem comes to mind! Awful!

    With regards to the the teaching of history- nothing is sacred anymore, certainly not the past. They use Muslims in particular because they are easy to manipulate and easy to lead. And that is due to their religious indoctrination which is all about submission to tyranny! Tyranny is a symbolic and sacred act for them. The Islamic mullahs are behind every tyranny and atrocity in the ME and are the beneficiaries of such degraded regimes.

    The hard left are extremely unenlightened bunch that is why they luvvvvv the Mullahs. They have many things in common and they all drink from the same mug or in this case bucket. One thing is for sure: the Godless knows how to deal with the faithless!

    With respect to the Holocaust, please do not forget the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem! And while they are at it they should teach all history including the history of Islam and Arab Imperialism! Be offended, I pray be offended, it just feels so good!
