Some British schools drop Holocaust education for fear of Muslims

A new survey has found that some British grade schools are dropping the Holocaust from their history lessons for fear of an often violent Muslim minority that denies the Jews were mass murdered by the Nazis.

The study revealed that many teachers in Britain are afraid to confront rampant anti-Semitism and Holocaust-denial among Muslim students.

Some schools are even avoiding lessons on the Crusades, of which England was a major participant, because the historically accepted accounts that of period are challenged by the leaders of local mosques.

London has recently become increasingly concerned by escalating anti-Semitism in Britain, and some are daring to point an accusing finger at the burgeoning Islamic community there.
