Deflecting Attention

The hate-preaching, child-abusing Islamic school at the centre of tonight's Dispatches documentary will close tomorrow amid "safety fears".

Teachers at the Darul Uloom Islamic High School, in Small Heath, Birmingham, have held meetings with police chiefs and fear that youngsters could be targeted by the "far-Right".

And so the Muslim community does what it always does: it presents itself as the real victim, and deflects attention away from its activities by whining about a "backlash" from the "far-Right" that never actually materialises. As a result, the next time this kind of thing happens in an Islamic school somewhere in Britain, no one notices.

And that's just what they want.
