The Muslim Council of Britain has convinced Britain’s Department of Education and Skills to distribute Islamist propaganda to primary school students: British Students Get “Know Islam” Kits.

CAIRO, June 28, 2005 (IslamOnline.net) – A British council has presented resource packs covering the basic teachings of Islam to primary schools across the London borough of Harrow in an effort to provide a better understanding of the Muslim faith, according to a local daily.

“The new resources will help school staff further develop their approach to high quality teaching of Islam — a religion that is far too often misunderstood,” the Harrow Times Monday, June 27, quoted as saying Councilor Navin Shah, leader of Harrow borough Council, which has become the first to fully fund the teaching of Islam in primary schools.

The resource packs include books, artifacts, CDs, videos and teaching aids covering the basic Muslim beliefs and practices through interactive class projects. Resources for secondary schools are also being developed and will be available to schools across the borough, according to the paper.

The packs for primary schools were produced by the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), in partnership with the Department of Education and Skills.

“We believe education is the key to creating a vibrant and understanding society,” MCB Secretary General, Iqbal Sacranie, told Harrow Times. ”These resources, developed by our team of educationalists, aim to support the teaching of Islam in schools by making available creative, engaging and child-friendly resources on Islam and Muslims.”

In January, Iqbal Sacranie and the Muslim Council of Britain boycotted the commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz, because it didn’t include the “holocaust” and “genocide” suffered by the Palestinians at the hands of Israel.

Now Sir Iqbal’s group will be responsible for teaching Islam to young British children.

Is this thing on?

The person who stands up and says, "This is stupid," either is asked to 'behave' or, worse, is greeted with a cheerful "Yes, we know! Isn't it terrific!"
