Target: The Prime Minister Tony Blair
Region: United Kingdom
Web site: http://www.equaljustice.co.uk
Background (Preamble):
The article in the Evening Standard dated 5th February 2007, and other papers, reported that the Saudi-faith school King Fahd Academy in London is using textbooks produced by the Saudi Ministry of Education which describe Jews as “monkeys” and Christians as “pigs”. They ask pupils to list the repugnant characteristics of Jews.
The books are very offensive to Christians, Jews and Muslims. The books have been taught at the school since September 2005 and the Ofsted inspection did not uncover them in March 2006.
The Biritish Prime Minister needs to take steps to ensure these vile practices are STOPPED and innocent Muslim minds are not corrupted.
"Islam" means peace and the faith teaches tolerance and understanding of all humankind but specially towards Jews and Christians who are considered closest to the Muslims.
