More on Islamic school in England: Arrests made

Here is an update on the Islamic school in England which was shown to be abusing their students and inculcating them against non-Muslims and Jews.  There have now been arrests, and there will be more to come.  This is not an isolated incident, but part of a much wider pattern of Islamic doctrine taught to school kids.

Mosque school arrest following Channel 4 documentary
Police act after alleged assault on child as second mosque featured in film is forced to close amid far-right attack fears
Police have arrested a man concerning alleged assaults on children at a mosque after viewing a Channel 4 documentary screened on Monday.

Dispatches, Lessons in Hate and Violence, secretly filmed a man apparently hitting and kicking children during Qu'ran lessons at a school in the Markazi Jamia mosque at Keighley, West Yorkshire.

An Islamic school in Birmingham in the same documentary, where a preacher was filmed making offensive remarks about non-Muslims, said it would close early for half-term, amid fears pupils could be the target of far-right groups.

West Yorkshire police issued a statement regarding the arrest: "We have recently become aware of a number of incidents of alleged assault at a mosque and just before the weekend were able to view edited footage of the alleged incident. One man has been arrested and released on police bail pending further inquiries. West Yorkshire police are receiving full co-operation from the Keighley Muslim Association who are working with us in support of the inquiry."

(.)Dispatches reporter Tazeen Ahmad claimed the footage was evidence of a "hardline, intolerant and highly antisocial version of Islam" taught in independent Islamic schools.

But is it an incorrect version of Islam, Mr. Ahmad?
