Muslim teacher banned for calling Western girls lunatics

- By Daily Telegraph Reporter

A MUSLIM teacher who suggested Islam was going to take over the world and claimed Westernise­d girls were “lunatics” has been banned from the profession.

Aqib Khan, 30, was sacked for “underminin­g fundamenta­l British values” by a Teaching Regulation Agency profession­al misconduct panel.

He said he rejected a female doctor who earned £70,000 because he could not be with a woman who earned more than him and told pupils that the baby of a woman over the age of 30 was more likely to be disabled than a wife having one with her cousin.

Mr Khan was an English teacher at Harborne Academy in Birmingham between December 2020 and March 2023. During that period he made a series of comments on a Microsoft Teams group which were deemed profession­ally unacceptab­le, and openly attacked feminism in his classes.

Among the comments he discussed was how to “get girls” and he showed a topless photo of himself flexing his muscles to one pupil.

He also stated: “Practicall­y, because she’s a girl she’s lucky. If she marries a good guy she can work or not work – it’s her choice. Her husband will support her either way. It’ll take pressure off of her to pick a career.” Referring to the increasing Muslim population, he stated: “Natural selection increasing our numbers as a result. By 2050 the whole of UK, France and Germany will look like Birmingham.

“The number of Muslims went up 44 per cent in 10 years. Everyone else is falling or growing at a snail’s pace. Traditiona­l values liberalism.”

Mr Khan said feminism teaches that “women are equal and discourage­s motherhood and being a wife” while “Islam teaches women are x3 more valuable than men if they’re good mothers and wives (and they can work if they want to)”.

The panel heard he said words to the effect of: “If you believe in feminism, if you believe in aborting babies, in man and man and woman being married, if you believe in working until you are 35 years old and not having any children. If you believe all this stuff, that’s fine, believe in it. But I am telling you one fact, you’re going to get replaced by Muslims even faster, they will replace you even faster.”

He was reported to the school by a member of staff.

The panel found Mr Khan guilty of “underminin­g fundamenta­l British values including individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs”.
