Toronto Islamic School Suspended after Row over Anti-Jewish Curriculum
(National Post-Canada) Stewart Bell - The Toronto District School Board suspended a permit issued to the Islamic Shia Study Center, which operated the East End Madrassah out of a Toronto high school, after the center was found to be using teaching materials that disparaged Jews and encouraged boys to keep fit for jihad. The school's curriculum, which was posted on its website, referred to "crafty," "treacherous" Jews and contrasted Islam with "the Jews and the Nazis." The anti-Semitic passages on its website were excerpts from two books published by the Al Balagh Foundation in Tehran and the Mostazafan Foundation of New York, which the FBI alleges was a front organization controlled by the Iranian regime.
