The purported Trojan Horse plot ‘ringleader’ co-wrote a 72-page plan in 2007 laying out his agenda for the Islamisation of state secular schools.
The blueprint set forth in Tahir Alam’s document closely resembles the changes that have recently been implemented in Birmingham schools. (Many of these changes have been documented in previous articles on our website, which you can read here and here.)
In his masterplan, Alam describes how schools must “take account of Muslim sensitivities and sensibilities with respect to sexual morality” and says that “girlfriend/boyfriend as well as homosexual relationships” were not allowed under Islamic teaching.
These plans were tangibly carried out when a boy and a girl in Year 11 were suspended for holding hands just weeks before exams. One staff member said that this has happened to several students in the same year.
Alam’s policies wanted “girls [to] be covered except for their hands and faces,” and called for gender segregation in school activities. Other activities banned include music that has immoral or “un-Islamic” lyrics, school plays, and dances.
Gender segregation has been a big issue. A Department of Education report discovered that girls at Park View had to sit at the back of the class. Former staff members revealed that female students complained that they were being treated unequally and were left out of in-class discussions. The agenda has also resulted in female staff members being “sidelined for years” according to a Telegraph Report.
Despite such actions, the Department of Education suggested giving Mr. Alam’s Park View Education Trust another Birmingham school to run while emergency inspections were happening at three other schools. However, this proposal has subsequently been cancelled.
In 2012, Park View manipulated the school inspection by bringing in a science teacher just for the two days inspectors were at the school. The former staff member said that the students at Park View are “just not getting the best…The Islamic ethos is overpowering and it’s dominating everything. The school has turned inwards and they’re just not preparing the kids for the wider world.”
As expected, Mr. Alam claims there is no plot. He is falling back on the popular trend of calling any anti-Muslim sentiments “Islamophobic,” and he is calling the investigations a “witch-hunt.”
Achmad da Costa, one of Alam’s close allies, conducted a special meeting in which he tried to rally local mosques to protest against the inspections.
Among the 25 schools currently under investigation, 18 have now been inspected by Ofsted. Park View will be one of at least 6 schools that Ofsted will rate as “inadequate for leadership and management.”
The Daily Telegraph article which most of this is taken from includes:
“Schools should “try to avoid scheduling swimming lessons during Ramadan”, the document says, to avoid Muslim pupils accidentally swallowing water and breaking their fast. ”
Have you ever heard anything so ridiculous ?
Meanwhile in Nigeria :
“I abducted your girls,” a man claiming to be Abubakar Shekau, the group’s leader, said in a video seen by the Guardian. “I will sell them in the market, by Allah. I will sell them off and marry them off. There is a market for selling humans.
“Women are slaves. I want to reassure my Muslim brothers that Allah says slaves are permitted in Islam,” he added ……
“I will marry off a woman at the age of 12. I will marry off a girl at the age of nine,” he said at another point in the video. “

Apparently any old Muslim can announce what Allah wants, and a lot of the others will believe him. Slavery and marriage is OK for schoolgirls in Nigeria, swimming during Ramadan is not OK for schoolgirls in Birmingham.
It does occur to me, though, that any Christian can announce what God wants, and quite a few people will believe him. But the majority won’t take much notice. If we don’t want to be killed, we must hope it is the same with Abubakar Shekau .
The link to the Guardian does actually include a video, the second half of which is in English, although it is in that peculiar kind of Nigerian English which requires dubbing or subtitles .
Hello folks
I believe that the islamification of Europe, including the UK, and the USA, is nearly unstoppable. 2,000+ years of Western civilisation down the pan. I believe God will use islam to punish the West, as He used the Babylonians and Assyrians to punish Israel and Judah.
We punish ourselves by ” walking contrary to HIS ways ”
as it is written ” Be sure your sins will find you out ”
” But now we have a high priest in Heaven the man JESUS who intercedes for us when we humblke ourselves and seek our Heavenly Father’s forgiveness ”
I don’t think Islam is ANYWHERE NEAR converting everybody in Europe. How do you think this could possibly happen ? There might be more practising Muslims than practising Christians, but they will not constitute a majority, and most of them will not be of European stock.
If God is keen on people being Christian rather then Muslim or anything else, I can’t conceive that he would go out of his way to make everybody Muslim. They would say that Allah had done this, and to a neutral observer that would seem much more likely.
But cheer up ! Perhaps Allah will punish all the very many imperfect Muslims by making them Christian.
The Lord God and Jehovah and Allah might even be the same person. If you read the Old Testament and the New Testament and the Koran, it is difficult not to come to that conclusion .
In Tower Hamlets, Muslims took over the Council in spite of only (!) being 30% of the population. We are heading that way in our inner cities very fast.
I was reading the opening to Habakkuk this morning. God can and does punish a wicked, spent and immoral civilisation by sending a more dynamic one to conquer it. If you prefer, that has been the way all through history. The Canaanites and Hittites were huge civilisations but became idolatrous and were easy pickings for the Israelites. Israel went soft and pagan and was conquered by Assyria, they and Judah were taken over by Babylon, Babylon by the Persians, the Persians were conquered by the Greeks, the Greeks by the Romans. And so on.
If you read the Old Testament and the New Testament and the Koran, it is actually difficult to see how Allah, who had daughters and categorically denies having a son, and Almighty God, who declares himself pleased with his beloved son, Jesus, can be the same being. Do read our page on Halal Meat where chapter and verse are giving in the many comments.
That is the fault of our electoral system and of voters themselves, not of Muslims particularly. I believe that a majority of the country never voted in favour of Margaret Thatcher. However, you are confusing the influx of Muslim immigrants with the conversion of indigenous people. Tower Hamlets (whatever names it went under) has been an immigrant area for centuries. It is only one district (in the administrative sense). In most counties, most of the districts have barely a trace of Islam, and what there is is immigrant. Neither country folk nor urban whites are being converted to Islam, fear not.
If you read Surah 2 Al-Baqarah, as I’m sure you have, it is perfectly clear that Allah is supposed to be identical to the Jewish and Christian god,. Honestly, if there is one god (which all three religions agree on), who is to say which has the most accurate description of him ? Perhaps they are all right. If he can be part of a trinity, perhaps he can also be tripersonified, or have a triple nature, He may in fact be a Trideus. It shouldn’t be beyond his capabilities to present his personality in different ways to appeal to different civilisations.
In Tower Hamlets Christian-sounding wards have been renamed, street signs are in Bengali and public money has been given to Muslim projects at the expense of the rest of the community. In Birmingham schools are being taken over. As soon as the Muslim population reaches a tipping point of around a third, you find that Muslims are candidates for every party on the Council, that they will form a majority of the ruling party, and gradually Islam will take over. It is when this is applied to Parliament that it gets interesting.
You don’t read Surah 2 (The Cow) because it is 286 verses of incoherent repetition and rambling. Yes, the idea of Islam is that Allah is identical with the God Yehovah whom Christians and Jews worship, but if Allah says he has no son, and Yehovah has a son, the Lord Jesus, then why can’t we take Allah at his word and conclude that he is not the same being as Yehovah? There is no logical requirement to shoehorn Allah into a Christian grid unless you have a preconception that Muslims for some reason best known to yourself MUST worship the same God as Christians.
IF the Muslim population of the country reaches around a third, I agree that this would be a lot of Muslims. But the fact remains that indigenous white people, and indeed white immigrants, are not being converted to Islam , so how would that happen ? There are lots of constituencies like West Oxfordshire where this is just nowhere near happening, and it is not going to happen.
You might as well say that the Labour Party is very popular in inner cities, and IF it takes over a majority in all areas of the country, there will be a Labour government for ever. But this hasn’t happened, and is unlikely to happen. Nor are Scottish Nationalists spreading south.
Your response reminds me of the New Zealanders attitude when disaster is looming, ‘She’ll be right’, and of the (you might say ‘hopeful’, but Jeremiah said ‘lying’) prophets of Jerusalem when Babylon was at the doors and Jeremiah was prophesying that the city would fall:
Jer 8:10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
Jer 8:11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
These New Zealanders remind me of Christians who trust in God that everything will be alright for them “Yea, though ye walk through the valley of the shadow of death, ye shall fear no evil”. (Quoted from memory, as it is very familiar to most people).
You are still only assuming that disaster is looming, but nowhere have you proved that large numbers of indigenous white people (or white European immigrants) are being converted to Islam. The white European immigrants have almost certainly boosted the percentage of church-going Christians, actually .
Christians do indeed believe that all will turn out well, because it is written that the Lord Jesus will come out conquering, not on a donkey this time, but on the white horse of triumph. That is quite different from secular-style ‘hoping for the best’ in the face of obvious oncoming disaster.
The rise of Islam in this country does not need that much conversion, although there are cases of it.
All it needs is Muslim immigration and natural fecundity uninhibited by the Western fashion of contraception (let alone abortion).
Quite right, Stephen.
Already the Muslim vote is being courted in Parliamentary elections (eg George Galloway), and they are a crucial marginal voting bloc whose votes parties seek. And we now have our first Muslim minister (Shahid Malik): we are told, of course, that he represents “true Islam” ie is a “moderate” (aren’t they all?).
The problem, imo, is that “peaceful” Muslims are not really doing what their holy book calls on them to do, ie dominate the countries in which they live, once their numbers are sufficient (Islam is as much a political ideology as it is a religion), and make jihad, armed war (jihad is NOT primarily a “spiritual struggle”, this is just taquiyyah) against unbelievers. Thus, the “true” Muslims are the terrorists, they are doing what the Koran tells them to do.
Why do we suppose that Islam will be any different in the West than it is in the backward, undemocratic, uncivilised Islamic countries in the world today? Incredible. Our leaders are bound by political correctness, sticking their heads in the sand. It won’t get any better, I’m afraid, and Islam is not going away any time soon. As Islam will come to dominate, I predict civil war from those Brits who don’t want their country taken over: how many will there be? That’s the question, possibly not many, as most Brits seem more interested in football, the X-Factor, EastEnders, etc. Will they wake up?
My tripersonified god with a triple nature was a highly speculative whim.
But doesn’t it ever trouble you that if so many people believe there is only one god, there probably isn’t more than one ?
There is, so far as the Christian faith sees it, one God, the Almighty, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. But there are also demonic forces, and these manifest as pagan ‘gods’ or spirits. The history of Islam shows there were over 300 of these pagan ‘deities’ representing all sorts of things that were important to the pagans (the moon, the sun, constellations of stars, rivers, fertility, various animals, weather, etc etc) until Mohammed decided that just his pagan family moon-god (The god – Allah) should be worshiped. Being married to a wealthy trader, he also came into contact with Christians and Jews, and parts of their scriptures and some Jewish stories, became incorporated into his musings, as did a desire for Allah to be a continuation of the Jewish and Christian God.
