Muslim Academic Decries Trojan Horse Investigation.

In the wake of the Trojan Horse fiasco, whereby a bunch of Islamists tried to take over Birmingham schools & indoctrinate the children even further that their upbringing already had, it now transpires that British authorities were entirely wrong to investigate, or even discuss the situation, as it made Muslims feel all upset. Apparently, we were all meant to sit tight & keep shtum, as these people took over our schools & bred a new generation of terrorists. So says a criminologist at Birmingham City University, all for the sake of community cohesion, of course.

It's not the first time that we have seen this attempt at curbing the reporting of Muslim misdeeds by supposed 'moderates' in this country. On 8th instant, we saw Muslim peers trying to suggest that reports of Islamic atrocities across the world, & at home, should be downplayed, in order to 'improve the relationships' between Muslims & those they regard as 'the vilest of animals in Allah's sight' (Koran 8:55). Read the tear-jerking plaints of this Islamic grievance-monger, & others, in this report from the Birmingham Mail on Sunday (hat-tip to Ivan Humble @NewDayStarts) & see if you can bring yourself to give a damn:

Communities 'have been damaged by Trojan Horse scandal' Birmingham City University criminologist Imran Awan reveals Muslims feel targeted and labelled as extremists A study into the effects of the "Trojan Horse" schools scandal reveals that 90 per cent of Birmingham's Muslims feel it has caused serious harm to community cohesion – and that many children have been left feeling "targeted and stigmatised." Operation Trojan Horse: Islamophobia or Extremism? will be published next month and contains interviews with parents and residents, as well as teachers and governors at the highlighted schools. The report's author, Birmingham City University criminologist Imran Awan, described it as "on-the-ground snapshot of community feeling in areas affected by the Trojan Horse controversy." He said: "At present Muslim communities in Birmingham feel vilified and fear that they are being unfairly labelled as extremists. "To me the most significant outcome of this whole affair is the damage caused to community cohesion and diversity, which was one of Birmingham's key strengths." He added: "Previous studies have shown that British Muslims felt very comfortable with their identity; they felt well-integrated and proud to be British citizens. "But much of this has been undone by what they feel has been relentless, unfair criticism." One mother interviewed in March 2014 told the report's researchers: "What's the point of us trying to integrate? Every time we do, we are somehow told it's not good enough, or we're not getting it right." Some felt the scandal had left them feeling that everyone was looking at them and pointing at them as they walked down the street. One resident claimed her neighbours had stopped talking to her as a result, adding: "We have seen rubbish thrown in our front garden. "We have all been labelled extremists and radicals." Mr Awan said a huge concern was the impact of these labels on children. One young person interviewed said he was "really worried now, because if I apply for a job, then someone is going to look at my CV and think I must be a terrorist." And a teacher asked: "What happens when they go for a job, or try to get work experience, and employers read that they're from one of these so-called extremist schools?" A flying Fokker. Although the official reports into some of the schools raised important concerns about governance, the study claims that many Muslims feel they were discriminated against. Mr Awan said it will now prove difficult to convince some parents to support changes needed in some of the schools, making them harder to implement. He also referred to an incident in 2007 when David Cameron stayed with a Muslim family in Birmingham and agreed that 'lazy stereotypes about Muslims and terrorism would damage community cohesion'. "Indeed, by using the word 'Islamist' to describe the threat, we actually help do the terrorist ideologues' work for them," the Prime Minister said at the time. "It is ironic that this is exactly the kind of language still being used to describe the Trojan Horse plot," said Mr Awan. "It is a fact not lost on many in Birmingham."
