..which state that 'christians are pigs' and 'jews are monkeys'. the head of the school claims that: these are mistranslations from Q'uarinic texts and that in any case these texts contain other more helpful material which would justify their inclusion in the syllabus at a more advanced level. Perhaps some learned muslim scholar would come on and explain? To me she looked scared and confused. Is there a hidden agenda with muslim faith schools., or is it really true that christians and jews really are pigs and monkeys respectively..I mean if its an approved text it must be true..according to islam that is. Perhaps you will say I haven't got my facts right..or I seek to stir up trouble between peace-loving Islam and the rest of the west?

Islam is not peace loving and it is not true.....
Filth and blasphemy are the only things that come out of their teachings

Hi. So sorry I don't have my books to hand - if I can find them before this question closes I'll edit this answer with some direct quotes.
YES IT'S TRUE that Christians and Jews are commonly referred to as PIGS in Islamic texts... those who deny it are either lying or they don't know enough about their own religion.
The language and phrases used in Muslim texts when referring to Christians and Jews is actually sickening and extremely disturbing - when I read what I've read it shook me deeply and has left me icy cold, and utterly anti-Islam.
If Christians and Jews REALLY knew and understood the way Muslims wrote about them in their own religious texts, and how Muslims REALLY regarded them there'd be WW3 for sure!
I'll get searching for my books now...
Here is one quote from one of my Muslim books called 'Signs of Qiyamah and the Arrival of the Maseeh'... this is a direct word for word quote regarding what is said to happen when 'Isa' returns to Earth... "He will break the cross, meaning he will wipe out worship of the cross. He will kill pigs, that is, he will eradicate Christianity." - this book refers to Christians as "pigs" and as "swine", I haven't actually read Jews referred to as 'monkeys' in the Muslim books I own, but referring to Christians as 'pigs' and 'swine' is very common.

All the muslims are just so blind stupid that they will just deny it exists, or simply say that you've got it wrong. They're a bunch of pig-headed, blinkered, brainwashed lunatics. They will arge black is white.
They should all pi ss off back to the scorched out deserts where they can preach hatred, filth and violence, and kill and mutilate each other all they want.

That question goes both ways kind of. How do u know that the text books that we use here are all correct. Our government or different schools most likely do the same thing. Choose the books that mostly support our ideas. The jews and christans are monkeys thing sounds ricduouls to us but Im sure if you showed some of our textbooks to other countries they would think that some of our stuff is a bunch of lies too.

You believe everything you hear in the media? You seem to have a lot of hatred for Islam. Just by seeing your name (remembering all the bad questions you've had about islam in the past) I knew to expect another stupid, negative question about Islam.
ANY muslims I've seen don't say these things, even if a very few do, they don't represent all of us. There's many racist christians, but you don't see me complaining that Christian people are racist.
I can't stand when a few people represent my whole religion, and people like you who stereotype us like that. I am shocked at all these questions especially since many other muslims I do know are really nice people, and don't deserve to be stereotyped like that (I am muslim too by the way).
To conclude, you are a sad, pathetic loser, with nothing better to do but find excuses for people who like Islam. Does Islam tell us to call jews pigs? No, and you know it doesn't, so stop talking rubbish, and start acting like a civilised human being. Why are people like you always trying to find faults with Islam by finding a few idiots who say and do things and generalising them to the whole faith? You are stupid for doing that, but other people are even more stupid for even accepting that idea.
Good luck with your hating...

That seems to be standard teaching in Muslim schools, even for what we would call pre-school.
They are also taught how to dress like a warrior and to fight like a warrior, and to honor martyrdom as the highest achievement in life.

Don't feel bad; there are non-Muslim science school books which says that humans are apes...maybe the ancient Quranic texts were ahead of modern scientific knowledge.
