The government-funded King Fahed Academy in West London, which caters to the U.K.’s Arab and Muslim communities, is under investigation by Britain’s Education Department and police after a tribunal revealed inflammatory passages and textbooks, including statements that Jews were cursed by God and others comparing Jews and Christians to monkeys and pigs. One exercise asked the pupils to give examples of “worthless religions such as Judaism, Christianity, idol worship and others.”
The school principal said the books had some “good chapters that could be used by teachers,” and offered to rip the controversial pages out of the books.
