The British Muslim teacher who sued to be allowed to wear a face mask in class was probably put up to it by the radical Islamic group Tablighi Jamaat: Muslim teacher in veil row’s link to 7/7 bomber.
The Muslim teacher suspended for refusing to work without her veil is connected to a hardline mosque where the ringleader of the July 7 bombers worshipped, it has emerged.
The family of classroom assistant Aishah Azmi, 24, plays a key role at the fundamentalist Markazi mosque in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire - which was attended by suicide bomber Mohammed Sidique Khan.
Until recently, Miss Azmi’s father was joint headmaster of the secondary school attached to the building. The family are known to worship there and may have encountered Khan before his terrorist act. However, there is no suggestion that Miss Azmi or anyone in her family have any connection with terrorism.
Tube bomber Khan and co-conspirator Shehzad Tanweer are said to have attended prayers at the mosque. Khan, 30, who worked as a teaching assistant in nearby Leeds, lived in the town with his Indian wife Hasima Patel before killing himself and six others in the Edgware Road blast last year.
The mosque is run by Tablighi Jamaat, a radical Islamic movement believed by intelligence agencies to be a fertile source for recruiting young extremists.
This wouldn’t be the first time that radical Islamic front groups have surreptitiously tried to force Western legal and educational systems to accept Dark Ages misogyny, as a step toward shari’a, and it won’t be the last.
