UK to check Islamic schools after Sharia claim
Britain's education department is to look at how it can check Islamic weekend schools after the BBC reported it had uncovered more than 40 of them teaching anti-Semitic views and extreme punishment for sodomy and theft.
The BBC said its Panorama program found a network of weekend Islamic schools in Britain were teaching children how to chop off the hands of thieves, that Zionists are trying to take over the world and that sodomy is punishable by death. Currently the government does not regulate weekend, part-time teaching centres. (Reuters)
